THE ROWING CLUB.
A large number of the Salt Lake Rowing
CLUB was out at the lake Sunday and with
them pair cared boat" doing some fine
rowing.
The club at present consists of about
sixty members. They have an outfit con-
slstlng of two six cared boats, two four
Dared boats, two double scull boats and two
single sculi boats. They are now making ar
engagements for boat house at the lake.
Some of the members of the club are
much interested in boating, and bemoan
the Indifference of some of their associates.
Boating is one of the most healthful eXer-
cises in which the young can indulge, and
no city offers better facilities for the sport.
There would be fewer round shouldered,
narrow chested men and women if rowing
were more practiced.

A STRANGE CASE.
A Fire That May Be 1ncendiary and a
Woman the Culprit.


Woman the Culprit
At about o'clock yesterday afternoon
some men who were near the boarding house
kept by Lang, at No. 1853 West First South
street, saw smoke issuing from one OF the
rooms. A fire alarm was at once sent in,
and several men entered the place and COM
menced fighting the blaze. The fremen
were soon on the scene and in few min
utes the blaze was eXtinguished. Chief
Stanton then took q tour through the house
and made somewhat startling discovery.
He found that the bedding and carpets
IN every room except one had
been saturated with coal oil, aud
there were other circumstances which
clearly indicated that the fire was the work
of an lncendiary. Everything about the
place was in chaotic condition. The fire
had evidently been started in three places
at once, and as soon as the chief satisfied
himself that there was an African in the
woo0pile, he placed Mrs. Lang under arrest
on the charge of arson. The woman's
dress was sprinkled with coal oil, and in
the kitchen was found two empty coal oil
cans.
1t was learned that MRS. Lang was
widow, and that o Mrs. Decker holds a
chattei mortgage On the furniture in the
house. The latter went down to the place
with deputy sheriff yesterday morning
and informed Mrs. Lang that she would
have to foreclose. The landlady became
very angry at this aud is credited with
having said that Mrs. Decker would get
neither the money nor the furniture, and
the general belief is that she fired
the place because she preferred see
ing it go up in smoke than allow Mrs.
Decker to get the furniture. She will
have hearing in the police court this
morning.
Her version of the fire was that she had
dressed herself after dinner for the pur-
pose of going to see q lawyer concerning
some of her boarders who had not settled
their board bills. Before going there she
stepped out to butcher shop to purchase
meat for supper. When she returned she
discovered the fire, gave the alarm, and
the department came and extinguished it.
She denies setting the fire. The story
which Mrs. Lang told to different ones did
not at all agree. She said that nearly all
her boarders owed her large sums Of money,
her furniture was mortgaged and she was
in Strengthened circumstances. Some
think she was made partially insane by
her reverses and did an act for which she
is not responsible.

jolly Jailbirds,

When Jailer Raleigh opened the city
prison yesterday morning the place looked
as though cyclone had struck it. The
thirty or forty prisoners confined in the
jail had evidently put in the night in seeing
how much damage they could do, and every
thing that could be injured was knocked
out OF shape. They even succeeded in
pulling some Of the bars from the cell
doors. OF course, they were all as limo
cent as lambs when the iailer entered. and
some Of them opined that the spirits had
been at work while they were sleeping.

WHEN PLUMBERS FALL OUT.
John c. Heosch yesterday brought suit
in the Third district court against the Utah
Plumbing Supply company and its direc-
tors. In his complaint the plaintiff al
leges that the capital stock of the defend
ant corporation is 500, 900, Of which amount
the aggregate sum OF Sl7,500 was subs
scrlbed by the stockholders at the time of
the organization, the plaintiff subscribing
$1,000; that L. S. Austin originally sub
scribed for 81 900 Of the capital stock of the
corporation and paid on his subscription
the first assessment Of 10 per cent, or $500 :,
then he subsequently, became unwilling to
retain the whole of his subscription, and to
avoid further liability, assigned $1,000 of
his stock to the plaintiff, out requested J.
w. Farrell, as secretary, to apply the $500
previously paid by him upon the shares
still remaining in his name; that the plain
tiff thereafter paid upon the 81 900 of stock
assigned to him y Austin the assess
ments from time to time due, and also upon
the original $4,000 of stock sub
scribed for by him until he
paid upon the whole So per cent. Of the
par value, amounting to S3,3l6.55; that
Austin paid the amount of his remaining
stock, $1,000, and has received certificate
for that amount; that the plaintiff has not
received his certificate for the remaining
3, 900 of capital stock assigned to him by
Austin and he alleges that ]. w. Farrell, J.
Midgley and Richard Morrison, being a
majority OF the board of directors, together
with Austin, are conspiring to issue GER
tlhcate for $1,000 of the capital stock to
Austin, claiming that the plaintiff is not
entitled to the certificate; that the defend
ants, unless prevented by injunction, will
issue the stock to Austin in violation of the
plaintiffs right. He asks, therefore, that
the defendant and its officers be restrained
from issuing the stock to Austin and that
they be directed to issue the same to him.
Williams & Van Colt are the plaintiffs
attorneys.

Burt Baga Them.

For some tina past the farmers Of this
county have had a good deal OF harness
stolen, and recently the thieves made big
haul at Taylorsville. John A. Sharp was
the heaviest loser, single harness worth
s35, $40 saddle and bride valued at So,
being stolen from his place. Sheriff Burt
has been working on the case, and on Tues
day ne located the booty at the Matthews
and Shovel ranches, in Bingham canon. 1t
IS believed that Andrew Petit and Dave
tenstermaker are the thieves, and the Off
GERS are on the lookout for them.
RECOVERED TIE HORSES.
Some two weeks ago horse belonging to
MIR. Kinney, who resides at the corner of
and Fifth streets, was stolen, and a man
named Al Dowles was suspected of having
taken the animal. AS nothing was heard
of the horse, Mr.. Kinney finally put the
matter in the hands OF Sheriff Burt, who
commenced TO investigate the matter. The
result was that on Sunday night the guilty
party returned the animal to Mr.. Kiuney's
place and turned it loose.

Aleio is in fair way of wearing some
other kind of stripes. 1t seems that on
August II Aleio concluded that he would
make trip through the country towns
giving exhibitions. So he went to Foote'S
livery stable and hired a horse and buggy,
agreeing TO be hack in four days. A week
passed by and nothing was heard of the
Gillian, SO Mr.. F'oote laid the matter be-
fore Sheriff Burt, and yesterday Deputy
Sheriff LaCon arrested Gin at Fairfield.
Utah county, about fifty miles from this
city. The Chilian was taken before Com
missioner Greenman yesterday morning
and pleaded not guilty to the charge of
grand larceny. He stated that after leay-
ing Salt Lake he had hard luck and at the
expiration of the four days agreed upon he
had not made enough money to pay for the
rig. So he kept on going and was on his
way back when he was arrested. Commits
sioner Greenman took the matter under ad-
visement until to-day.
