The Abbie Darlington concert At the tab
ernacle was notable event in the history
OF musical entertainments in Provo. There
was largo aud delighted attendance. The
prima donna first sang Spring" by Mayer
Helmand and was recalle i three times, re-
spending with "Comin' thro' the Rye" and
Tho Last Rose of Summer" whsreupon
she received two beautiful boquets and the
most enthusiastic applause. She possesses
beautiful, voluminous, soprano. voice and
executes the thrills, staccato and cadenses
in most phenomenal manner. Since the
appearance of Madame Patti we doubt if
any artist has appeared in our territory
that will rank with Miss Darlington.
Geo. w. Traverner has q magnificent
tenor voice and sang with wonderful effect.
The other artists were Minerva Babcock,
n. q. Ptetson, G. I. Martins and Sig
nor Bolini, all received hearty enoores.
Miss Darlington spoke highly OF the chorus
that accompanied her as well as the or
chestra- She also stated that more beau
tiful scenery can scarcely be found than in
and about the Garden City.
The Liberals will hold their grand rally
to morrow and begin to pull the wires for

:. James Cline, chief clerk at the Union Pa
cific depot, was arrested by Marshal Brown
charged with embeZZiement by Agent
Craig. 1t appears the clerk had been short
in his accounts and giving ambiguous ex-
plantations about them. The agent, oeliev-
ing that MIR. Cline would adjust matters,
allowed things to stand. In auditing the
accounts, however, he discovered that
there were funds missing to the amount Of
about 5000, and Immediately complained to
the officers, who arrested Cline ana placed
him in the county Jail. MIR. Cline is a
genial and good hearted fellow, who has
gained the friendship Of many with whom
he has been associated, and it is hoped he
will be able TO clear himself.

their system over to Spripgville and thus
open up a new avenue Of commerce for
Provo. The company will also improve its
rolling stock and make the system second
to none. The fact Of it being assured that
SIS, 900 will be circulated in Provo is
already being felt in financial circles, and
when actually in motion will relieve the
financial condition very materially.
The Tintic railway is an assured fact and
construction from Springville TO Tintic is
