GENTILES CARRY THE DAY
Mormons Defeated in the Municipal
Election at Salt Lake.
The Victory Celebrated in Wild
Whirl of Enthusiasm.
Cannon Booming and Bonfires Seen
in all Directions.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 10.-The municipal
election of this city, the result of which
was awaited with such wide interest.
passed off quietly today, contrary to the
general expectations. The city has been
crowded for days with special police, de-
tectives and deputy United States marshals
for the purpose eff preventing illegal voting
which each party claimed the other would
resort 10. 1t was anticipated that attempts
to challenge and arrest some voters would
result in riot and blood-shed This. how
ever, was not realized, although the ex-
citement was intense. Half of the business
houses closed; bands paraded the streets.
which were jammed with excited citizens.
Only SIX arrests were made for alleged ille-
gal voting, and these without any demons
tratlons. Snow began falling early this
morning and continued until noon, when
the sun came out and soon transformed
the streets into rivers of slush. By noon
5000 votes had been cast, which by the
poll books showed that about seventv-fye
per cent. of the peoples (Mormonl regis
tered vote had been cast and about
fifty per cent. of the liberals.
At five o'clock it was estimated
returns from every ward in the city gave
a total vote of 6,298, divided. Geutiles,
3, 443; Mormons, 1856. At six o'clock
Chairman Powers claimed the Gentle
majority would reach 400 This, how
ever, is denied by Chairman Richards,
who says it is impossible to tell which side
is victorious until the complete returns are
in late tonight. The Mormons claim fraud
has been the order of the day with the
Gentiles and if they are victorious it will
have been by those methods. In this
event the Mormons will contest the cleo
ton in the United States supreme court.
LATER-This evening every Gentle
building in the city was decorated with
flags and lanterns, fireworks are shooting
from hundreds of house tops, cannons are
booming and bonfres are seen in every di-
rection. Hundreds of men paraded the
streets with drums and torches shouting
like wild Indians over the victory. No
such scene was ever before witnessed in
Utah. The Mormons remain indoors and
have nothing to say except that the cleo
ton was carried by fraud and that they
will surely contest it. They admit the de-
feat but claim that the majority will not
exceed 400.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS.
Red Hot Wires Pierce the Bodies of Two
Men While Working in a Wire Mill.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 6.-Two shocking
accidents occurred yesterday at Roebling's
wire mill. AS Charles Cheatle attempted
to seize piece of iron it broke near the
tongs and the red-hot and now wriggling
rod entered his right side just below the
hip, and passing through the lung came
out beneath the left arm pit, caught in
piece of machinery, and for an instant the
boy was suspended in the air on the red
hot rod. His weight broke the iron and
Cheatle fell in front of the furnace on his
feet. Medical attendance was at once pro-
cured, but the case was hopeless.
Mart Molesky, fine wire drawer of the
same mill, was pierced in the stomach
about midnight Tuesday night He is a
new man and did not understand how to
arrange his wire, which broke, the end
entering the pit of his stomach. The
reel runs very fast, and when the fine
wire entered Molesky, he was pinned in
corner and before the reel could be stop
ped about ten feet of it had curled up in
the man stomach.
VIM. Mershon was killed In the same
mill Tuesday, by the breaking of an cleo
trio wire The mill closed down for the
day after Cheatle received his death
wound, aid the firm ordered a corps of
six of Trenton leading physicians to re-
lieve the men, but the doctors declare
that the injured men cannot recover.

Fires were blazing, and round them
were stretched the men. resting after
hard days march. The traveller had
been long on the road, and with his
white Russian forage cap and travel
stained clothing looked so much like
the Cossacks themselves that he en-
tered the camp quite unnoticed. Then
he sat down on stone and took out
colored map of the country, knowing
well that the strange sight would
bring the men about him Immediately.

aware of gaunt, sallow, gray-mus-

saber scars as to look like a railway

Flowers as Political Emblems.

One result of the election has had a
strange effect on the flower market IN
Paris. Since the election the price of
red carnations has gone down like the
shares of a bubble company. While
the white carnation is quoted in the
Marche aux Fleurs at the respectable
figure of 1 franc dozen, the red is
offered freely at no more than sous.
Neither in Paris nor anywhere else does
anybody care to be identified with the
symbol of failure.

SEVEN WERE DRO W led.
A Ting Boat Strikes a Pier and Sinks I'm.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 9.-The tow
boat Port Eads, of the St. Louis & Missis-
sippi Valley line, this morning, during
heavy fog, struck on the pier of the new
railroad bridge below the city, and IN a
few minutes sunk. She carried crew of
forty men and for a time the widest
rumors prevailed, the loss of life being
placed from twenty-five to thirty-tve.
It is now known, however. that but seven
of the crew were drowned. Ten were
badly cut and bruised and have been cared
for at the United States hospital. The Port
Eads was valued at $4,000. The rail-
road company viii be sued for not having
the pier properly marked and protected.

tice Shope has granted writ of error In
the case of Fielden and Schwab, the i'm
prlsoned anarchists, In order that the
question of the right of the condemned
men to be personally present in court
when the decision Of the state supreme
court was rendeted may be determined.
This will serve to again rivet the atten-
ton of the entire world on the pen tent
iary at Joliet wherein are confined three
men applauded by their followers as
martyrs TO the cause of anarchy-two of
them serving life sentences, und the other
fifteen year term for participation in the
haymarket riot at Chicago on the night of
MAY 4. 1886.
Briefly stated, the ground on which the
witt is granted is that the defendants
were not present when the supreme court
affirmed the rulings of the Chicago court
in affirming the verdict in the cases of the
several anarchists and the sentences of
death or imprisonment The law requires
that they shall be present, and the records
say they were present
This question has never before been
raised in the annals of the country, ana
hence the actionof the United States SUI
preme court will be eagerly awaited.
Should it decide that the right exists to
prisoners to be present in the state su-
preme court when final judgment is
passed, then not only Fielder, Schwab
and Neebe can get new trial. but Spies,
Parsons, Fisehes and Engel illegally suf-
fered the death penalty, and every inmate
of the prisons of the state, whose case has
received an affirmative judgment in the
state court without the prisoner being
present IN person, has been illegally I'M
prisoned
While lawyers conversant with the case
in all its details do not fear or anticipate
any such determination of the case as this,
yet the fact that there is possibility of
just such termination remains and must
not be lost sight Of and it may be said the
condemned anarchists at Joliet can still
entertain some hope of again breathing
the air of freedom The case will come up
for preliminary hearing at Washington at
the October term of the United States
supreme court.
States Attorney Longenecker in talking
of the case to-day, said: ''Should the
United States supreme court find that the
state supreme court erred In not having
the prisoners present, it will simply re-
mand the case to the state supreme court
for re-hearing. The state supreme court
will then have the prisoners brought be-
fore the bar while the case Is reviewed.
When the review is completed the court
will confirm the sentence pronounced by
Judge Gary. But there is not, in my
mind, the slightest probability of the Uni
ted States supreme court finding that the
state supreme court erred. The whole
thing is the most ridiculous legal move |
ever heard of -

FORFEITS HIS BAIL.
Graham, the Jury Briber, Pleads Guilty
Ry His Absence.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-The cases of the al
legged Cronin jury bribers were called IN
the criminal court this morning. John
Graham, the chief defendant. whose alb
sence from the city has already been mem
toned in these dispatches, did not appear.
After some talk by counsel the hearing
was adjourned to o'clock.
Graham failing to show up in the after
noon, his bonds of 49, 900 were declared
forfeited. His attorney. Foster. dropped
in and announced his intention to take
part in the trial in Graham 5 behalf, and,
if refused permission, intimated a desire
for a bill of exceptions daily. Judge
Waterman did not rule on this point. The
court declined to quash the indictments
against Kavanaugh and O'Donnell, and
both men pleaded not guilty. The other
defendants were not required to plead, be-
ing present in the role of informers.

NEENAH, Wis, Feb. 6.-Quite a 70

last week that he was located 1t seem
that last fall he went into the woods,
near Phillips, to work for the John R.

his right name, and nothing more was
thought of him until week ago when a
tree fell on him, fatally injuring him and
he died the next day Before
dying he said he had been living under
an assumed name, but would not give
his right one. He was buried the next
day at Phillips. A day or so afterward
Mr.. Herman read in the papers of the
death of an unknown lumberman who
would not give his right name, and wrote
to Phillips, sending a photograph of his
runaway son, Phillip Herman The body
was identified as his sons, and dug up
and shipped to this city. where it arrived
this morning. 1t was in bad state Of de-
composition, and was Immediately buried.

As was expected, the United States
Supreme Court has decided that the
Minnesota meat inspection law is un-
constitutional. The law had already
become dead letter in many sections
of the state, but was enforced in the
large cities. The court holds that this
statute makes discrimination against
the products and business of Minneso-
ia. eff this Legislation does not make
such discrimination it would be diff
cult to enact legislation which would
have such a result" says the court.
The provision that would require ami
mails to be sent into Minnesota to be
inspected and then returned to be
slaughtered within twenty-four hours
of the inspection amounts to an abso-
lutte prohibition upon sales made in
Minnesota of meat from animals not
slaughtered within its limits. The
point made by counsel for the state
that, so far as this statute is concerned,
the people of Minnesota can bring
meats into the state for their personal
use, the court thinks deserves exam
nation. But this view ignores the right
which the people of other states have
in commerce between these states and
the state of Minnesota.

New Ulm Review: On account of
the reapportionment bill passed by
the last legislature, an entire new leg
islature is to be elected next fall. The
Legislative terms in both senate and
house expire this year, and the proba-
bilities are that the next legislature,
which will convene on the second
Tuesday in January, 1891, will be COM
posed almost wholly of new men. The
new apportionment makes 81 senators
and ia representatives. The men,
bers of the house will serve two years,
and on account of the new apportion-
ment senators chosen by districts des-
ignated by odd numbers will serve
two years, and senators chosen by the
even numbered districts will serve
four years. Consequently the senators
elected by the even numbered districts
this fall will participate in the election
of a United States senator in 1898,
when Senator Davis term will expire,
he having been elected to serve six
years from March 4, 1887.

Besides this is the expense of fitting
up the 1O7 booths called for was about
5000. The latter can of course be
taken apart and put away for use at
future elections. Petty soon elections

From newspaper indications, Doc.
Ames will be in the field for governor

that, in our opinion, Doctor Ames will
never again be honored with the NOM
nation and could not get elected if he
was. At heart, there is not a more
whole-souled and generous man in
the state, but he went back on those
who made him what he was, and they
will refuse to support him longer. In
our opinion, he is not available. The
coming man is E. w. Durant, and a
cyclone and nothing else will head
him off.
