Going to the Supreme Court.

Omit Let the Contract.

FREMONT, Neb., August 6.-lSpecal to
THE BEE. l-Fremont's difficulty in awarding
the contract for the extension and improve
ment of its water works system still con-
tinues, with the city apparently no nearer to
solution of the matter tnan it was eight or
ten months ago, when it first advertised for
bids. After advertising two or three times
for bids and after as many quarrels between
the board of public works and the council,
the contract was finally awarded about ten
days ago to the Pond Engineering company,
of st. LOUIS. This company now refuses to
enter INTO contract and thereby loses its
guarantee check of $500. An effort is being
made to let the work to the next lowest bid
der the National brass and iron works, of
Dubuque, but whether this will be successful
or not is not known. The bonds for the pay
ment of the work have been issued and sold
and are now bearing interest with no profit
or return TO the city, and the taxpayers are
naturally growing restive.

THE MORMONS DOWNED.
Salt Lake City Carried BY the
GcutileS,

SALT LAKE, Utah, August 6.-[Spccial
Telegram to The BEE. Yesterday occurred
the most exciting and closely contested cleo
tion ever held in Utah. The Mormons polled
95 to 81 per cent of their entire strength,
while the gentiles polled only IS per cent of
their voting list. At 5 p. IN. the gentlles con-
ceded the city to the Mormons by fully 300
votes. When the official vote came IN, how
ever, and showed that the gentiles had
carried the city by forty-one majority the
Mormons rs well as gentiles were paralyzed
at the returns. About 10 o'clock thousands
of citizens were on Main street and started
an impromptu parade. Bontires were built,
cannons roared, and the entire night was
given over TO rejoicing. The gentiles elect
Pierce, Williams and Hall, and defeat Le-
grand, Young, Moyle and Clark. The county
returns show a net gentle gain of 500 votes.
The indications now point to q gentle ma.
jorlty on next February election of not less
than !. 900, which will forever do away with
Mormon supremacy in this country.
