Death Of Miss Emma Abbott From Pneu-

The Last Hours Of the Well-KnOWn Prima
Donna Booked for Paradise to
Sing With the Angels.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

SALT LAKE, Jan. Emma Abbott died
at 40 O'Clock this morning, at the Temple
ton Hotel, from pneumonia, aged AZ years.
Miss Abbott added to a bad cold last Tues
day night, when she appeared at the Ogden
Opera House, which was thrown open for
the first time, and before the plaster of her
dressing-room was dry, and on her reaching
this city Wednesday afternoon she was or
dered into bed by DR.. Pinkerton, who was
called to attend her. But the lady persisted
in singing in "Ernani " and, as result
went to pieces.
She then had to 60 to bed and Drs.
Pinkerton and Bascom said she was a
doomed woman. Her temperature on leav-
ing the stage was 104, and when told she
had pneumonia she gave up at once, and on
Thursday told the doctors she was booked
for paradise and that her next song would
be with the angels.
The company continued the engagement,
Miss Broderck taking Miss Abbott's place.
The patient continued in critical condi-
ton until Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
when she began to sink, and all
hope was given up. Whisky, milk and
auinine, however, revived her and during
the night she talked cheeriully with the
ladies of her company, but toward morning
her strength failed and for an hour before
death she was unconscious.
The members of her company are heart
broken and Manager Pratt could hardly
talk. The remains were embalmed, and,
clad in n postlV shroud wara laid in black
silver-mounted casket and at o'clock to-
day Rev. DR., McNiece of the First Presby-
terrain Church conducted tho services. The
| floral offerings were magnificent.
The company, in three special cars, left
| tonight for Chicago. via Kansas City. The
| interment will take place at Gloucester
| Mass, after ceremonies at Chicago.

ELECTION CONTESTS.
Disputed Cases on Trial Before Judge Will
Jams at MERGED


Jams at MERGED
MERGED, Jan. 5.-The election contest
cases began this morning, Judge Williams
of Ventura acting as Judge. The morning
session was taken up by the defense First
they objected 10 the proceedings on the
ground that no special session Of the court
was called according 10 law; next, that the
complaint was not filed within the forty
days required by law. The objections were
oVerruled. They next moved to dismiss the
cases, which was also oyerruled. The
Judge then, on motion of defense, required
that both prosecution and defense deposit
the amount to cover the costs of the case.
The court then took a recess.
Alter the noon recess the attorneys agreed
totIy one case and allow Judgment to apply
TO all cases before court of that charac-
ter. The Judge then fixed the compensa ton
OF the tellerS and required both sides of the
case to deposit $50 to cover costs. J. w.
Knox, chairman Of the Republican County
Committee, and f. I. Dixon, Chairman of
the Democratic County Convention, each
sWore that resolutions were adopted by their
respective conventions empowering the
central Committees TO fill any vacancies
SAID conventions might leave.
The ballots cast at the late election were
then produced. A. f. Shriver contestant
and Deputy County Clerk, was then placed
been in the county vault ever since their de-
livery to the Clerk. ana that at least two
besides himself knew the combination to
the vault; that to his knowledge these en-
velopes which contained tile ballots had
never left the courthouse. The counting
of the ballots then began, and by an agree
ment the Democratic aud Republican tick
cts were each read, and this objection was
made: That three OF the names that APP
peared on the Democratic ticket were not
those of Democrats, and seven on the Re-
publican ticket were not Republicans; that
therein lay the fraud named in the conf
plant. Objections were argued at length
by both sides aud finally oYerruled. The
court then adjourned for the day. As this

THE SUBSIDY BILL.
The Work of the Lobby Denounced by the
New York Post.

The Work of the Lobby Denounced by the
New York Post.
NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-The Post editorially
quotes Cannon's attack ON the Pacific Mail
lobby debate of February, 1879, and says:
According to all accounts, the lobby now
at work for the Subsidy Bill is just as fierce
and unscrupalous as the one described by
Cannon, and it is to be hoped this gentle
man will not let the present occasion pass
without renewing his respects to them.
The motive power of this lobby comes this
time from H. X. Thurber's Brazil Steamship
Company. with some help. perhaps. from
the Pacific Mail Company. The latter
would probably have been content to rest
upon its laurels and leave Congress alone, If
the allurements of subsidy had not been
daneled before its eyes by the pernicious ac-
tivity of the Brazil crowd On the bill itself,
the Post says: 1t contains a fragrant un-
truth in the title, which rectes it is " bill
to put American merchant marine on an
equality with that of other nations"

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5.-The Senate met
at u o'clock, Stephen NJ. White presiding
After calling the Senate to order he said:
In severing my official relations with
this body l cannot resist the temptation to
briefly indicate the thanks which 1 teel are
due TO many of you for the uniform kind
ness and forbearance, of which l have been
the fortunate beneficiary.
During the twenty-seyenth session of IN e
Legislature | occasionally presided over the
Senate's deliberations, and throughout the
twenty-eIghth session l was constantly in
the chair and called upon to make frequent
rulings on controYerted matters, and it was
and ever Will be a source of deep gratifca-
ton TO me to know that my judgment stood
without exception as the judgment of the
Senate, and that not one of my colleagues,
however varied our political views, ever
charged that decision was made during
my incum bency that was not the result of a
candid elaboration.
" 10 receive the encomiums of persons of
character is a laudable aspiration. The
beStowal of such an honor is gratifying to
that pride which is but the SYNONYM of self
respect In rarting from you permit me to
hope that your efforts will be as fruitful as
saDgulne anticipation can picture, and that
the nOn-ofhce-hoders, whose functions it
shall be to comment upon your work may
find but little to criticize and nothing to con-
.demn.
" With the majority of the people of this
great commonwealth, who have in an en-
phatlc manner recorded their determination
that you shall be their trusted agents, l Join
IN wishing you not only an honorable but
also an appreciated career"
MI. White, at the conclusion Of his re-
marks, introduced Senator Frasier as Presi-
oent pro tenn of the Senate. Mr.. Frasier
made very brief address. A vote of
thanks was given Mr.. White and other
oincers OF the Senate for their efficiant
services. The Senate then adjourned to II

1.-THE Atchison cannot be compared with
any other road, for nothing like it ever ex-
listed, lis property extending from Chicago
to the Gulf and to the Pacific Ocean.
Handling more traffic than any road enter
ing Chicago, and having the lowest fixed
charges against its property account, it is
selling for less than when threatened with
reorganization. An assessment Of the inter-
est at per cent upon the stock controlled
by this great property would amount to SIS
per mile of the road. Sixty dollars per share
for the control of Atchison is not a high
price"
