WILLIAM GLAssMAN is one of the most
thoughtful men Of his time. He was the only
man-as far as has been heard from-who anti
clpated the visit of the President many months
before 1t was known that he would come to this
city. Mrs. Glasmann was neceS sarily made a
party to this arrangement, but the secret was
not let outuntil Saturday. when Mrs. Glasmann
gave birth to baby boy just as the President
was turning the Hotel Templeton. Aud the son
was named Benjamin Harrison Glassman."
The doubt that has been raised in the minds
OF many that the Eagle Gate would never be
restored will be dispelled this morning when it
is learned that the bids lately solicited for it's
re-erection had been opened and the contract
awarded. The proud old bird of freedom will
receive new coat Of feathers and be repaired
In other ways, and the cut stone pillars upon
which his weight will rest will be marvels of
beauty, and cost good round sum. Work will
soon commence
THE death OF Mrs. Caroline Stevenson, whose
suicide was announced in Sundays HERALD,
turns out to have been caused by the remorse
growing out of an attachment to another man
than her husband. The letter was discovered
Sunday and is directed to Mr.. Christensen. who
owns an interest in photograph gallery in
the Uintah hotel, on Commercial street. The
suicides confession reads: Christensen
What have you done? You have come to me
with your fiattering words and have believed
them. You are the one who is to blame for my
death; but do not sorrow about me. 1 am
so unhappy do not know what to do. 1 am
ashamed on account OF my husband. I know
he will never forgive me. Christensen, take
good care of little Peter. Farewell all of youm
This is the only clue to the cause of the death
OF the unfortunate woman, except the bottle of
strychnine and the coroner's inquest.
RICHARDS, the coon, and Purcell, who recently
defeated young Dempsey came together at the
Turf Exchange last evening, Richards agreeing
to stop the white man in ten rounds. 1t was
very fine contest from start to finish, and
Richards soon demonstrated that Purcell was
not in his class at all Although Purcell was
taller and heavier, the colored man was
stronger, more scientific and had greater reach.
He had his man stopped in almost any of the ten
rounds, but failed to follow up his advantage
Under the conditions Purcell was announced to
be the winner, The coon proved that he has
not been overestimated, and he will doubtless
be heard from soon. Parson Davis is heading
this way with Hall, the great Australian
lighter, who defeated Fitzsimmons and Billy
Woods. 1t is likely that they will give an ex
htbitlon at Electric Light hall on the 18th. The
forthcoming mill between Billy Manning and
La Blanch at Electric Light hall promises to be
the greatest event Of the kind ever witnessed
here. Jim Williams, the heavyweight cham
pion, and Mike Sullivan will contest for su-
premacy at Electric Light hall tonight TIE
men have been in training for several weeks.
and will doubtless make fine contest, Brown
of Chicago, will meet local aspirant for istic
honors, and it is expected that Pat McHugh, of
Ogden, will spar with a Salt Lake heavy
weight.
