Annual Meeting-0ther Notes.


Annual Meeting-Other Notes.
A disastrous wind visited this city early |
yesterday morning, creating sad havoc |
with the telephone company's lines and the
building adjoining its Office, viz, John |
Diem's saddlery shop. 1t appears that the
flag pole standing in front of the city hall |
was thrown to the ground by gust of
wind. In its descent it caught the tube
containing the different lines and tore it |
completely from its socket in the box on |
the pole, also breaking off one of the cross |
pieces. The amount of damage done is
hardly known, as far as loss In money ID |
concerned, but in the amount of loss of |
time to the subscribers, it is incalculable, |
as all communication has been cut off from |
Salt Lake, with the exception of the pri-
yate wire of the Utah Central Railroad |
company, and all surrounding towns.
In the Diem building, the brothers Cald-
well, were awakened about q. M, by what
they supposed to be an earthquake, or
ton of dynamite but on investigation 1t
was found that the pole had taken some OF
the cornice Of the building, and had scrsped
down the building to the ground. The
damage to his building Mr.. Diem estimates,
if fixed in the city, at about S125, II done
elsewhere at about S4OO.
The linemen of the Light and Heat COM
pany were hard at work yesterday clearing
the telephone wires from their lines, and
last night had them all, or nearly SO, cleared
away.
Some man, laboriug under some little ex-
citement, Friday evening, started report
that the Palace restaurant was on fire. In
yestigation revealed the fact that 1t was
only his fancy.
Judge Hayt had man before him yes
terday, for using abusive language. He
forfeited So.
Mr.. w. Y. Rice is expected home early
next week, as his mother is SO far i'm
proyed that she is now quite out Of danger.
Mrs. M. NJ. Allen has accepted the posi-
ton of stenographer in Mr.. E. P. Ferry's
office.
MIR. G. A. Bates returned yesterday from
Salt Lake, whence he had been to bury his
son.
There are great many towns and cities
in the country, that have little less name
for philanthropic deeds than Park City,
and vet there isn't one that thinks Christ
mas complete without Xmas tree for the
moor of the place. Now why is it that
! park CITY doss not? As suggestion /.
Why not get some of the young ladies and
gentlemen of the city TO give perform
ance of some kind, an amateur opera
drama, concert, comedy or in fact anything
to make little money, and then donate
|
of the placed 1t is about time now that
some attention was paid to this matter.
Let the good work commence.
| Reyerting to an old subject, 1t is now an
assured fact that we are to have new
opera house, with hotel combined. The
gentlemen backing this enterprise are all
well known men about the city in business
and mining. There is little doubt but that
it would be an assured success as our hotel
facilities at present are wholly inadequate
for the number Of visitors to this place.
The name of J. Davis ornaments the
Park hotel register, from New York.
A. ]. Cole is in the city, from st. Joseph,
Mo.
six bars of bullion, 20, 705 fine ounces.
The Salt Lake minstrels, magnificent
Organization, composed of about thirty
members and including prominent young
business men, contemplate showing in
park CITY in December. They will play In
Logan, Brigham City and Ogden City.
They will be supported by picked chorus
of sixteen voices and eight men In bones
and tambos, original topical songs, ballads,
clogs. stump speeches, negro eccentricities,
burlesque sketches, etc. Ii will be as
strong an aggregation Of talent as ever
appeared on any stage. Wait for 1t.
