A NEW POLITICAL ASSOCIATION.

Movements Started by Adjutant-
General Koontz sni a few associated
Democratic veterans looking to the
withdrawal of Democratic members
from the Grand Army of the Republic
and the formation of a new benevolent
soldiers organization, or ordt r are given
an entirely different cololing toni ght,
by the statement directly from
Adjutant-General Koontz, who seems
to be the fountain head of the move
ment. He stated, last evening, in
an interview that the new organization
was not antagonistic to the Grand
Army of the Republic. He claims that
all the newspaper statements to the
contrary are in error upon this point.
Nevertheless the point is a new one
here. The constitution and bylaws of
the new organization are not yet forth
coming to the public. A meeting of
some fifty Democratic veterans was
held tonight, presided over by Adult
ant-General Koontz, at which an execu-
tive committee was appointed by the
chair, with instructions

TO PRESS THE ORGANIZATION

of subordinate posts throughout the
State. From Democratic veterans con-
nected with the organization, it is as
certained, tonight, that the entire
character of the movement has under
gone recent and radical change. He
admitted that the original idea was to
induce Democratic members of the
Grand Army of the Republic to with
draw and found another benevolent Or
der, something on the same plan as the
Grand Army of the Republic. This
project, however, has been completely
alb lndoned, and in its place the move
ment is substituted by forming Demo-
cratic veterans political clubs, the
membership of which will in nowise
conflict with the Grand Army of the Re-
public membership. The new clubs are
to be purely and openly political.

ON MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
The Board of Health-The Reser'
vOir-General Notes.

vOir-General Notes.
There was no little comment On the
streets yesterday over the action of the
the City Council in reference to the
South Temple Street sidewalk PROPOSE
ton. The general verdict seemed to be
that the proper thing to have done un-
der the circumstances would have been
to order the work proceeded with. 1--WE
asked that the work be DONE" said one
of the petitioners yesterday, "the regu-
lar notice of intention was published,
and out of the entire list of property
owners on the street there were only
three protestants, and these hold
but comparatively small pieces
OF property. l hold that, IN
der these circumstances, the City
Council had no discretion in the
matter, and they should have ordered
the work proceeded with. It is folly to
say that they have right to refuse to
proceed with the work, when those who
will be benefited are not only willing
but anxious to pay for the improve
ment. Mr.. Young certainly paid any,
thing but compliment to the intelli
gence of the petitioners when he said
that they didn't know Just what they
did want. One thing would seem to be
certain, however-if they had wanted
shale they would not have asked for
cement. This would seem to be a prop.
osition that Mr.. Young, with all his
legal ability, would scarcely attempt to
gainsay."
THE BoARD OF HEALTH.
It is now intimated that the commit
tee on municipal laws, to whom was
referred the matter of framing and pre-
senting an ordinance providing for and
establishing a board of health, will
probably make q report at the next
meeting of the City Council. AS Mr..
Ritter remarked on Tuesday evening,
the question is very important one,
and should receive careful and prompt
attention from the committee in whose
hands it has been placed.
THE EAST BENCH RESERVOIR,
Mr.. Roberts laughs at the idea of
building a reservoir On the east bench,
and says that it would cost good deal
more than the city is worth. ITO
store water for culinary purposes" said
he. lis an easy matter, but when you
talk about storing water for irrigating
it is another thing" In this view he is
sustained by Mr.. Ritter, who says that
unless there is spot between Mill
Greek and Parley's Canyon Creek that
can be secured, the idea will
have to be abandoned. He was
not prepared to say that there was
such a place, but he was of the
opinion that there was. He thought
the idea advanced by Mr.. Young at tie
last meeting of the Council looking to
the securing Of the waters of Mill Greek
in exchange for portion of the waters
flowing in the Salt Lake AID Jordan
Canal was a good one and should be
acted upon. There is ditch already
constructed by which the waters could
be conveyed to Parley's Canyon Creek.

PARIS, August s.-The funeral OF
General Endes, the ext Communist, who
dropped dead while addressing body
OF strikers Sunday, took place to-day.
Fifty thousand persons gathered in the
streets adjacent to the house OF the de-
ceased and thousands lined the route to
the cemetery, along which cavalry was
stationed. The other troops belonging
to the Parish garrison were held within
their barracks in readiness for any
emergency. Traffic in the streets
through which the eortege passed was
suspended and the stores were closed.
Fifteen thousand persons marched in
front OF the hearse bearing the remains.
They wore bonnets OF red immortelles.
NJ. Basiy, member of the Chamber Of
Deputies, was present and he and NJ.
RochefOrt were greeted with cheers and
shouts OF "Yive Ia revolution" and
"Vive Ia commune" The procession
started ut II o'clock. The pallbcarers
were NM. Valiant Lefrancaise and
Arnold, members OF the Commune OF
1871, and Mostoyn Louise Michael
marched after the hearse. A brigade OF
police headed the procession. Large
bodies OF workmen and strikers followed
quietly. The walters and hairdrcSses in
the line were noisy and demanded that
the red flags, which were carried covered.
be unfurled. The crowds along the
route shouted, "Vive Ia commune" AZ
the parade passed.
When the procession reached the
Boulevard Voltaire three red flags were
uniurled. A commissary OF police at-
tempted to seize one, when some one in
the crowd fired revolver ut him, but
the bullet went wide OF its mark.
Another eommissary was beaten with
sticks. NJ. ROchefort was set upon by
an Anarchist who was handled quite Sc
vercly. The police were powerless before
the menacing attitude OF the mob. The
gendarmes made n charge in front OF
Prince Eugene's barracks, striking in
every direction with the butt ends OF
their muskets. They succeeded in re-
leasing the police who had been sur
rounded by the mob and captured the
red flags. When the procession arrived
at Marie a revolver was fired and bomb
thrown close to the police, but the bomb
did not explode.
The reserve force OF the police left the
station and charged upon the crowd
with drawn swords, wounding and taxi
ing into custody many persons. The
procession continued on its way TO the
cemetery, but grew smaller as it pro-
gressed. A number OF ovations were
delivered at the grave amid cries OF
"viye Ia commune" and "vive Ia revo-
luton" AZ the conclusion Of the ova-
tions the gathering dispersed. The po.
lice did not oppose the display of red
flags inside the cemetery.
Forty persons were arrested by the
police. Many policemen were in
jured in the fight. Among the
wounded is Chief Police Justice
Clement. Conflicts occurred last night
on the Boulevards Belleville and
Rochechouart between the police and
the strikers. Two cafes were sacked by
the mob.

It was almost, II not equal, to the dis

procession was about three miles long.
There was also large turnout OF old

KEY CLUBS REVIVED.


Latest Scheme of PhiladelphIG'H Unlicensed
SHiOonkoepcrs.
PHILADELPHIA, August S.-Out Of the
four thousand and odd saloonkeepers
who failed to pass the ordeal OF the high
license court, at least one.half have en-
barked in the confectionery business,
also keeping ice cream, cakes and soft
drinks.
The temptation to indulge in the sale
OF something little stronger than root
beer" is proving too much for these men
who we're accustomed TO dealing out
five.cent hummers before high license
set in, and one by one they are suCCumb-
ing, and in consequence are falling into
the clutches OF the police as moths fall
into a candle.
The latest scheme to beat the law is
the organization Of "kcy clubs" which
were the rage here thirty odd years ago,
when a Sunday prohibition spasm struck
the place. The "Club" locates Mt the
place OF some saloon keeper who failed
TO get license. The only cost OF nem-
bership is twenty-five cents for key.
The front door Is closed, it is true, but
the bar is in full blast, and ut night the
first and second floors are nblaZe with
gas. The "members' have the privilege
ofintroducing friends to the hospital
ity OF the club.
A cute policeman astonished saloon
keeper by walking through side door
without friend and ordering beer In
the club bar room, last Sunday. Some
careless "member" had forgotten to
lock the side door. The police are in
vestigating these clubs quietly, and
when the plums are ripe they will begin
to shake the tree, and then test cases
will be made Of few Of the clubs.

place to Cherry Valley, o., last April.
Conley's wife is a daughter of Mrs. E. S.
Graham, of Linesville, and is less than
80 years of age. After being at Cherry
Valley about week the woman left Con-
ley and applied for u divorce. Conley
lived alone up to July 10. On that day
he was taken with violent vomiting
spells, and on the 23d inst. he died. Dur
ing his sickness he was taken care OF by
neighbOrs. The testimony of the attend
ing physicians was that in the fourteen
days OF his illness he took no food what-
ever. The circumstances were OF such
Il character us to cast suspicion on Con-
ley's wife and she was arrested. The
Coroner, DR.. Ellsworth, testified as to
the result OF the analysis OF some butter
in the house which was tested for
arsenical poison. Drs. Tnttle and Arner
gave it as their opinion that there was
arsenic in it. Justice Hawley thereupon
ordered that Mrs. Coniey should be held

A Working Gill TeStltles Interestingly BE-
fore the Immigration Investigators.
New YoRK, August S.-The lmmi-
grafton investigation by the Congress-
ional Committee took new turn to-day.
When the committee assembled a
pleasant faced young woman was sworn.
She gave her name MS Mary Berg, and
for six years past she had worked for
Hermann Berg, n flannel shirt maker on
East Forty-frst street. When she went
there 200 girls were employed working
on foot machines. About Il year ago
steam was put in and forty or fifty
Russians and Poles were employed, tax
ing the places OF the majority OF the
girls. Previous TO the employment of
the foreigners the girls made from So to
IS q week; now they can only make 50 n
week. She has known married men to
take the places OF girls and work for 81
week. She heard the proprietor ask
one OF the foreigners employed there il
he could not get him more OF his cOun-
trymen. He told him he could, but
would have to send to Europe for them.
He told him to send and get all he
could.
There has been continual reduction
in wages since the foreigners came to the
factory. She left there this week on ac-
count OF reduction in the scale OF
wages. She declared that Il shirt that
was made for 10 cents in 1884, is now
made for 40 cents, and one that was then
made for S. is now made for 81. She said
many OF these Russians and Poles work
here and save money and then go
home and spend it, and return again to
make more. She knew one man who
saved s., 500 here and went home, where
he invested it in business and lost it.
He repeated the experiment, and is now
back here for the third time, and work
ing for 81 week in place OF girls who
had been discharged.
DR.. Charles Hoyt, Secretary OF the
State Board of Charities, was sworn.
He said the proportion of foreign pau
pers in this State was forty.seven times
that OF native paupers. Witness said lie
had particulars OF hundreds Of cases
which were assisted to this country.
The Canadian people did not want these
people, and as fust as they arrived there,
sent them over here.

past eight o'clock last night a sharp
flash of lightning, followed by aterrifiC
peal OF thunder, startled the large crowd
in the exposition buildings. Instantly
the arc, lights in the building went out
and the Government exhibit and ma

The inCandescent lights were not af-
