The City in Brief.

The City in Brief.
Q. F. ReSseguie, general manager of the
Union Pacific, and MIR. Corwin, assistant
superintendent, returned from Cheyenne
yesterday and went to Salt Lake last even
ing.
A lady member of the Philips excursion
which came in from the west yesterday,
leaped out of car window about three
miles east of Tecoma, Nevada, while the
to say, she was uniniured, and came to Og-
den on the next train and continued east to
her home at Buffalo, N. Y.
Yesterday was not as lively market
day as usual. The farmers stayed at home
and took advantage Of the nice weather to
get in their crops.
An attempt was made Friday night to
hold up preacher. Next thing we know
the newspaper men viii be bounced upon,
but it will be by some fellow who doesn't
know them and takes chances of securing
something,
In the district court yesterday, the case
OF J. II. knauss ct al. VS.. Thomas Cahoon
ct al. was tried and taken under advise
ment.
The decision Of Judge Henderson in the
case of Garbutt VS.. the Utah Loan and
Trust company is awaited with intense
interest.
In the police court yesterday, Isaac Rey-
nolds, drunk, got ten days in Jail, and
Charles Goodsell, for the same offense, paid
50, John Howard, for vagrancy, was sent
up for ten days.
A little item in this column of THE
HERALD few days ago, in relation to Gov
ernor Thomas work in connection with the
proposed government building for Ogden,
| from which the inference could be drawn
that the gentleman was not overexerting
himself in the matter, attracted the atten-
ton OF some of the governors particular
friends in Salt Lake, who make complaint
that the writer has done him an Injustice.
There was no intention of doing any such
thing. The item was merely reflex of
Ogden public opinion upon the subject.
Mayor Keisel says that the governor is
working hard for Ogdens much needed
public building, in which case he should re-
| celve commendatlon, not cenSure,
The HERALD correspondent, DESTROYS of
learning the feeling of Ogden Liberals in
relation to the drastic measure known as
the Struble bill, interviewed fifty of them.
OF the entire number whose opinions were
asked, not single one expressed himself
in favor of the scheme to disfranchise
Mormons who have not been convicted
of any crime. They say that besides
being unjust, it is also needless piece of
legislation; that the present anti-polygamy
laws are all sufficient to accomplish the
objects for which they were enacted. and
all that is necessary,is a vigorous enforce
ment of them; that if the federal officials
of Salt Lake would quit quarreling among
themselves and attend closely to the duties
or their respective offices, the affairs of the
territory would move along smoothly
enough to satisfy everybody except the DO
litical schemers. The above are few of
the opinions freely expressed by gentlemen
not one OF whom was ever classed as a
'Jack," or deserves to be SO classed.
Even if President Harrison shall veto
the Ogden refundlng BILL by pocketing it
or honorably stating his reasons for object
| ing, 1T will not be great calamity. Ogdens
assessed valuation this year will be greater
than last year, and the revenue from taxes
will probably reach, with what can be
borrowed on bonds which the city is now
authorized to issue, nearly 100000 atleast
100000 of which sum could be
| spared for use on the sewerage system and
the remainder for paying salaries, for
street work and the incidental expenses of
the municipal government. Work in the
sewers could not be commenced before the
first of June, and it is not safe to count on
more than five months during which it can
be economically carried on The city can
get the money now at low rate of inter
est 1t need not wait until the taxes are
| collected. One hundred thousand dollars
is probably as much as can be judiciously
expended on the sewers this year.
A little discussion over the quantity of
food furnished the city prisoners who work
in the chain gang took place in the city
council Friday night. The mayor stated
that prisoners working in the gravel pit
complained to him that they did not get
enough to eat. 1t developed that the grub
furnished city prisoners in Ogden is better
than that received by them in other places,
in proof of which it is said that several of
the gang who were here last season have
come back and are again in limbo They
don't deserve food that is ''too rich for
their blood.n
