TIE MORMON CHURCH
Property Case Before the House
Judiciary Committee.
COLONEL JAMES 0. BROADHEAD
Makes an Able Argument Against the Senate
Bills for its ributiOn-Uelegate Carey
Coming to Woming.

WAsHINGToE, D. C July 19.-tSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD THE House committee
on judiciary had a special meeting this morning
for the purpose of hearing Colonel James o.
Broadhead OF ST. Louis in opposition to the bill
which passed the Senate some weeks ago, pro-
wiling for the distribution of the personal prop
erty of the late corporation of the Mormon
church to the public schools of the territory OF
Utah. Mr.. Broadhead contended that the dis
tribution would be q violation of all the doc
trines which had heretofore obtained relative to
the property OF religious and charitable corpor-
ations. He said in effect, though corporation
might he dissolved the charity lived foreyer;
that where money or property was contracted
to charity, the objects OF which were
various even should some of the objects
be Illegal all the remaining legal ones
we're entitled to the use and benefits of
the funds. Had all the facts been before the
supreme court, it would have experienced no
difficulty in arriving at a conclusion in accord
ance with this view, but the object to which the
funds were devoted by that late eorportion, the
care and support of the poor, the building of
temples and other houses for the worship OF
Gcd, the education of the children OF Christian
members and other legitimate purposes,
were not shown before the courts
Judge Broadhead presented sworn state
ment from the chief clerk of the
Mormon church, showing that the church dur
| ing the year 1889 had disbursed $4,000 for
charitable purposes, which were perfectly legiti-
mate. He quoted largely from legal authority
showing the law governing private societies
| and what the equities were in a case of the
kind under consideration. He reviewed GER
tain points of the decision of the supreme court
| delivered by Justice Bradley and contended
that Congress should not interfere in this mat
ter by passing this bill or any other. Let the
supreme court decide to what use the funds
should be devoted consistent with the intention
of those who donated them, which would not be
the case If they were devoted to the public
schools of the territory of Utah.
lOColone Broadhead spoke over an hour and
was listened to with marked attention. He was
asked many questions which he answered ap-
| parently to the satisfaction of the committee.
| The argument was reported, and the chairman
announced that it would be printed for the use
of the committee, and he invited Judge Broad
head to elaborate any point he desired as the
committee wanted all the information he could
! give them on the subject.

The Rio Graude BROAD Guape.

DENVER, Colo, July 19.-[Special telegram to
THE HERALD. MANY tales being current in
relation to the delay in getting the broad guage
completed between Grand Junction and Rifle
creek General Manager Smith, of the Rio
Grande, said to-day: Several persons, it is not
necessary to mention their names, have been
talking of this for some time, and some report
ers have caught hold of the rumor from time to
time and not knowing anything of the case
have as usual, got everything mixed up. At
the last meeting between Mr.. Collbran and my
SELF there was a statement drawn up, which
appears in thee fficial records, and signed by
both of US, that states positively that the Den
yer g. Rio Grande has caused no delay to the
work of the Link Construction company. 1t
has been stated that the Rio Grande has used
iron belonging to the new line. This is true.
We borrowed L01 tons or five miles
of rails, but there will not
be ready to use them for the next month and
the iron to replace them is here in Denver and
can be sent to the front in twenty-four hours
when needed. If sent there now, it would have
to be handled twice, causing unnecessary ex-
pense. In regard to cross ties and bridge tim
berS the contractors failed on account of the
hard winter to get them out in time and some
of them threw up their agreements, thus neces
stating delays that we have no control over.
We have completed our share of the work on
several of the larger bridges and men are now
waiting for timbers that Mr.. Collbran has
| agreed to get along the line of his road. A
statement of the situation over the signatures
of Mr. Collbran and myself has been forwarded
to the officials in New York, and there is Nc
doubt but what it will be satisfactory to then

Anaconda.Montana LINTON Eight.

BUTTE Mont, July l9-[Special telegram to
THE HERALD. The prospect for a war be-
tween the Anaconda mining company and the
Montana Union railway company grows
brighter. The Union, which has done all the
company in this city and the smelters in Ana
conda, a distance of twenty-seven miles from
Butte claims the right to charge for switching
done in that city. They further claim TO be
losing money at the present rate charged the
company for the transportation of ores. The
Anaconda company declares that the road is
losing through too low a ore rate with the
Union and Northern Pacific. Both are firm in
their positions and are preparing for war.
The Union opened the fight by re-
fusing to deliver ore after it had
been hauled to the yards in the smelter city,
and their yards there are now crowded with I'M
loaded cars. Now, the Anaconda company gets
back by threatening to Shut down both mines
and shelters for the season, and this deprives
the road of most Of its traffic.
1t is reported tonight that a portion of the
smelters has been shut down and others will
follow as the ore supply on hand gives out. 1t
is said all the smelters and mines belonging
TO this company will close Monday night and
some idea of the magnitude of the interests in
volved may be gathered from the fact that the
Montana Union haulS 10 Anaconda daily 5000
tons of ore when the mines and smelters are
running at full capacity. There is doubtless
bluff on the part of both as neither can afford to
shut down. but it will be 4 bold fight and con
siderable interest is felt here in the outcome

BUTTE. Mont. July 19.-[Special telegram to
THE HERALD. l-One of the most distressing ac-

before midnight tonight. Four boys named
respectively Con Murphy, his cousins, Patrick
and Daniel Murphy, and John Callahan were
blown up by giant powder and the first named
was so badly injured that his life is despaired
Of. In some unknown way the boys gained
possession of three sticks of giant powder and
determined to make sensation by exploding
them late tonight. For this purpose they went
to the head OF Mssoula gulch, near
this city, late tonight and prepared for
a grand surprise they had in store for their
friends. Three sticks were connected by fuse
and all were fred in order to make an explosion
as loud as possible. In their ignorance, the boys
had cut the fuse too short, and while Con
Murphy was watching the entire charge. pre-
paratory to throwing it into a neighboring
prospect hole, was discharged The
entire four boys, ranging in age
from twelve to fourteen years were
Knocked down by the explosion and
hole was dug in the side of the mountain that
put the prospect to shame. Young Con was al
most torn to pieces by the explosion, being
badly burned about the face and arms body
and legs, and his right hand blown of. The
others were similarly burned, most Of their in
iuries being naturally about the arms and
chest.
The boys have been held, and the county
physician has pronounced upon the case. With
the exception of Con, oldest of the crowd none
of the boys were seriously hurt in arms and
