OF four speeches delivered at the opening
of the Hendricks Club rooms, Tuesday night,
that of Governor Gray struck the lowest note.
Each of the others. though not at all remark
able. had something to relieve it from utter
barrenness--some attempt, at least at bright
of thought or expression. That of Gov
ernor Gray was dull, empty, commonplace,
devoid of the remotest approach to bright
thought or graceful expression. 1t was the
smallest kind of a snal-beer political ha-

such parts could have aspired to the

THE Burlington strike is still on. It is
evident that the policy of the engineers is to
avoid legal complications by agreeing, as an
organization, to the interchange of freight
and then, as individuals, refusing to move the
boycOtted cars. They thus hope to play fast
and loose with the courts and the commerce
of the country.

MANTI MATTERS.

THANKSGIVING day was observed by
services in the Tabernacle.
THE weather during the week has
been stormy, rain and snow.
The artist is still engaged on the
| Coop. front, and working away with
unelated vigor.
IT rained and showed necessarily
from Sunday night until Thursday
morning, consequently the roads are
almost impossible for loaded teams.
Mr.. CARR, superintendent of tie San
pete Valley railroad, says the road will
not be extended any further than its
present terminus (Ohester) this winter.
WHEAT is worth 70 cents in Fairview,
50 cents in Chester and Mount Pleasant,
and 70 cents in Ephraim. Some of the
larger farmers are holding on for rise
in price. 1t appears the general aver
age of grain is below last years crop.
Mr.. D.. B. FUNK departed this life
very suddenly on Friday afternoon.
Driving home from Manti to Sterling
he suddenly fell back in the wagon and
when lifted up was found to be quite
dead. Heart disease was the cause.
AN apron dance was given by invita-
ton from the ladies of the Mutual I'm
proVement Association on Thanksgiv-
ing evening, which was a very pleasant
affair, but still there was unnecessary
excitement among the gentlemen to-
wards the end.
The light in the recorders room in
the Temple Is seen burning late into the
night, and sometimes all night. The
work IN the temple is said to be very
heavy, so many are taking advantage
of performing the offices Tor the dead
and other ordinances in that building.
The pupils of the Council House
school asked the teacher, Mr.. George
Scott, for leave to hold Thanksgiving
in the forenoon, and to prepare picnic,
which was granted. They passed a
very pleasant forenoon, giving read
ings, Rotations and songs. Towards
the close the trustees with some friends
put in an appearance, and in two min
ute speeches explained to the little
folks why the day was appointed and
for what they should be thankful.
THE Johnson Dramatic Company has
been here playing for two nights. Wen
lock of Wenlock, was produced on
Wednesday night. The audience, al
though decorous enough in their be-
hayior, were noisy with their applause,
which was not discriminatIye. The
play on Thursday night was Nevada,
which is better spoken of than the pre-
vious nights play. A little more nerve
in playing would make the pieces take
better. The farces might be left out
with profit to players and audience.
Both houses were tolerably filed.

A CONTEST FOR TITLE.
A Quarter of a Million of City

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the city concerning the con-
test for title of the land situated just
west of the Warm Springs, between
Sixth and Ninth North and running as
far as Fifth West, known as the Need.
ham estate, comprising 100 acres. 1t is
claimed by the contestants that when
the property was sold two of the five
heirs were under age and the estate
was not properly probated, no bond
having been filed and it not having been
shown that it was necessary to sell the
estate for the support of the two minor
heirs. Under these conditions the two
heirs, through their attorney, claim
two-tifths of the present value of the
lands. A few of the property holders
have compromised the matter but the
remainder propose to call meeting to
organize for the purpose of defending
their claims. A patent to this land
was issued by the United States gov
eminent in 1875 to Jonathan
Neeoham, who shortly after died, and
the widow sold it to the city. A por-
ton of the property was sold by the
city during the succeeding four years,
but in 1880 the remaining lots were sold
at auction to the highest bidder. The
value OF the property atpresent exceeds
a quarter of million dollars, EN- brac-
ing, as it does, many residences and
other property including the glass
works and Lake View addition. It is
understood that papers have been filed
in the District Court in the name of the
heirs, setting forth their claims, as
above stated.

The Church Cases Before the Su
preme Court.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-[Special
to THE HERALD. Hon. F. S. Richards
appeared before the Supreme Court to-
day and moved for the advancement of
the appeal from the decree of the Su-
preme Court of Utah, confscating
church property. He presented strong
reasons for the advancement and made
a clear statement of the case. The gov
eminent offered no opposition. It is
believed the case will be advanced.
There is a strong public sentiment
against the confscation of church
property. Mr.. Richards will await the
decision of the court and arrange for
trial.
