THURSDAY,
The City in Brief.


1t is understood that libel suit has been
Instituted against the Commercial by Ed
3osenbaum.
Two unfortunate DRINKS were cinched
by Alderman Preshaw yesterday, to the
tune of ten days each.
On account of the non-arrival of Mr.. La
France, the trial of the new steam fire
engine, which was to have taken place yes
terday afternoon, had to be postponed.
AT the meeting of the county court, T.
j. Henderson, applied for and was granted
a license as an abstractor. He has already
commenced work, and has large force OF
competent assistants.
A part of the material to be used in print
ng Monday Morning has arrived and been
set up, and Mr.. Mcdaniel is theoretically
at work making ready for the first issue Of
The long promised paper.
Farley L. Williams, of Salt Lake Cit-,
was in the city yesterday. He was counsel
for defendant in the suit Of e. A. Reed ct
al VS.. The Pacific Express company, which
was tried in the First district court.
That was a horrible joke which the
Tribune perpetrated yesterday by ringing
in battered likeness of Beast Butler and
trying to palm it off on the public as rep
resentation of Prince Bismarck's phiz.
A. L. Banks, the young man who has 81
efficiently served the Commercial as one of
its reporters, has resigned his thankless
position. Mr.. Banks has in him the max
ing Of first class journalist, a position
which he aspires to.
All that the Pacific Short Line is waiting
for now, so it is said, is settled weather.
1t can't settle any too soon to suit the peo-
pie of Ogden, if that viii cause the pro
Affected new trunk line managers to set a
move on themselves at this end of the lire.
h. L. -,
Tor several days previous, commenced in
rood earnest yesterday morning. The rain
continued steadily throughout the entire
DAY, putting stop to all outdoor work
The barometer talk is for long ''spell OF
weather.
The real estate boom continues and the
building boom will commence when the
weather will permit Now give us a man
lfacturing and industrial boom and we may
be happy yet. Real estate booms don't
maintain general prosperity, but manufac
;uring and production are the basis OF
wealth.
The female real estate Spectator is quite
numerous in Ogden. Generally speaking
the lady operators are as shreWd as the
nasculines who dabble in dirt and some
Of them have made handsome clean-ups
All of them are fired with enthusiasm, an6
BONE of them can talk a man blind.
Deputy Marshal Vandercook has taker
charge of the United States marshal's Office
In this city. Marshal Pratt was gentle
manly and efficient official, and had the re
spect and esteem of majority of the bet
ter class of Ogden's citizens. His straight
forward course made him enemies with ;
certain class Of Ogdenites.
The claim is now set up that the killing
of Pat Desmond was a cold-blooded muir
der, which was witnessed by five men
whose names are given by the Puebl
Press. The particulars of the tragedy a
related by the parties who allege that they
were witnesses to it, vary materially from
The testimony given on Tod's preliminar,
examination.
The street railway is being utilized 70
hauling building stone into town from tn
quarries east of the CITY, The long fla
cars answer the purpose very well an
bring several tons of coal at load. Thes
cars could be so arranged as to render theI
useful for hauling gravel for use on tn
streets along which the track of the cit
railway is now laid or is to be laid.
1t is a strong company, financially, tina
proposes to operate an electric street rail
way in this city, provided the necessar
franchise can be obtained, Of which Their
is probably no doubt Competition in thi
method OF getting around the city is great
needed. The cost of transportation owe
the existing line is reasonable enough, Blu
the trouble is that it accommodates onl,
people who live on one street. Hundred
Of residents of the bench would patronize
street car line if they had an opportunit
to do So and that opportunity will be al
forded them just as soon as the electri
railway commences operations.
