The City in Brief.

In tho First district court yesterday, in the
Ease OF T. y. Miller VS.. NJ. A. Shurtlin; order
permitting amendment of complaint.
The report thatJay Gould has taken an inter
est in Ogden is not without foundation. There
will be some developments in this matter before
long.
Lots OF the little ones went Clustering" yes
terday. The weather was not pleasant nut tne
children probably enjoyed their picnic IN the
foothills
w. H. Harvey who is attending to Ogden's
Mardi Gras in New Orleans, sent Tor sSOvO 70
help pay expenses. The money was raised and
Sent TO him Sunday.
The trustees of the Methodist university say
that work on the building Will be commenced at
once. Some of the contracts have been let
The building will cost upwards OF slOo,ooo.
A blue wagon passing along Washington
nyenue yesterday attracted no little attention,
whenever n glimpse of il could be had through
the flying clouds OF dust. II was SAID 10 be a
Bprinkling cart.
The Pacific Short Line people (some OF them)
tits reported, will be in Ogden before long to
maugurate the work OF construction at this end
Of the line, so II is said. II is to be hoped that
this report is not without foundation.
The Monday Morning says there is no valid
reason why the Csprinlkling) carts should not
have been in good order long ago, instead Of
having 10 be repaired now" Well, twill rain
to-day or tomorrow and then they can be put to
Soak.
In the police court Burk and Kelley, two
peace dsturbers, put up s1150 each and were
allowed TO depart. Tom Foley, run in the
same charge was not lucky; he got on by pay
ing ~. Tom Stephens, a Vag, went TO the
cooler for ten days.
The new somi-monthly newspaper Taps, pub
lished in the lnte- est of the Ogden military
ucademy, has made its appearance. II is edited
by two of the cadets, contains a good number
,of advertisements Is neatly printed and makes
IL creditable showing in its editorial, local and
ynems departments.
The chamber of commerce nearly ruptured
tfsfff re In. r
appropriating over 500 for advertising. This
sum is nearly half as much as one real estate
firm spends every day. II is 10 be hoped that
the chamber Will get the money back at the ball
Friday night. otherwise ii Will need truss TO
keep II on Its feet.
Sunday and yesterday the wind blew and the
dust flew, Notwithstanding the order OF
the city council to have the streets
sprinlled. The streets were not sprinllled. In
fact TO adequate provision has been made for
keeping the dust down. 1t is surmised that the
reason this matter was not attended TO in time,
was because the wise city fathers thought il
might possibly rain all summer
The obstruction of the sidewalks by signs,
beer kegs, dry goods boxes, second hand goods,
furniture. sacks OF grain and groceries, etc,
stc.. should be put stop TO. II is contrary TO
the ordinance, and gives the streets a countri-
lied appearance. ana besides binders the pas
sage OF pedestrians along the thoroughfares
which they have the right TO. The extent &c
which this practice is carried on in Ogden con
Btitutes a nuisance.
Tho sale of the l00-foot square lotion the south
west corner Of Adams avenue and Twenfy-ffth
street. by the Presbyterian church, probably in
sures the erection of fine business block on
that corner. Not only that, from the south side
of pwentydfth street, from the Reed hotel cor
ner TO Adams avenue. Will be filled up with
business buildings. The old brewery VIII give
way for the erection OF something more pleas
Ing to the eye and more useful. The Presbyter
Ian church secures n more eligible location on
Twenty-iourth street. because business Will moi
probably go up that street for long time u
come.
