ANOTHER EXCITING SCENE IN THE HOUSE.
One Of the most exciting scenes witnessed in
the House Of Representatives was detailed to
me by Gen. Ashley in my interview with him.
Following up his success in abolishing slavery
in the District Of Columbia Gen. Ashley, on
the 14th Of December. 1868, introduced a
proposition to amend the Constitution, abol-
ishing slavery in all the states and territories
Of the nation, and it was referred to the com.
mittee on the Judiciary. On the 10Th of June,
1864. the House voted on heproposed consti-
tutional amendment, and it was defeated by
. vote Of ninety-four for II and sixty-fiye
against it. Before the vote was announced
Gen. Ashley changed his vote that he might
enter . motion for reconsideration. On the
2sth Of June, 1864, Mr.. Holman Of Indians
asked IF the gentleman from Ohio intended
to call up that motion to reconsider at the
present session." and Gen. Ashley replied be
did not propose to call up that motion at this
session OF Congress. but to 60 to the country
in the ensuing presidential election on the
issue presented by the bill to amend the Con

A Sad Death.

Miss Leona Gurley, a promising
young maiden of Is summers, beloved
by all who knew her, met her death at
Goshen at her own hands in a peculiar
manner. She was visiting a married
sisters house, when, seeing vial of
oil Of tansy OH the m3ntel she said in
a joking way that she was going to
take some of it. Her sister advised her
not to, but Leona persisted in apparent
spirit of banter and helped herself to
Il dose of the drug. In short time she
complained of beng thirsty and went
to the cellar for drink of water, re-
turning in a few minutes. She fell to
the floor in fit of spasms and in an
hom expired in great agony. 1t is sup
posed that Miss Gurley took the drug
with the view of alleviating menstrual
pains. No suicidal motive is thought
to have led to the unfortunate circum-
stance which has cast a gloom over
the little community of Goshen.

ANOTHER FIRE.
This Time George Mel

Another Monday Night Fire
That Lies Shrouded
i'm Mystery.

A fire occurred on the property of
George Medium. in this city, on Mon
day night last, about II O'Clock, by
which Mir. Medium lost his barn and
about two tons of hay. The origin of
the fire can rot be discovered. but it is
significant fact that it happened on
Monday night and the fires that
occurred during the winter happened
the same night of the week. The fire
department arrived on the scene about
80 minutes after the fire started. and
probably would have been longer, had
it not been for Billy Wilson who saw
the blaze and at once started for the
fire bell, and rang it as it never has
been rung before. The fire engine in
crossing the track got stuck, and it
took time and the combined help of
men, women and children to get it
across, so that the fire had gained too
much Roadway for much good to be
done. The damage amounted to
about $1,000. No clue of its origin has
been discovered.

DASTAROLY AFFAIR.

U. S. Deputy Marshal B. Bachman
was summoned by telegraph on Mon

most dastardly crime had been com
mitted by a tramp, who, if found, will
not be permitted TO live long enough
to answer for his crime before the bar
of Justice MIR. Bachman returned
last evening. and, IN conversation
with him,a DISPATCH reporter learned
the details of the outrage. 1t appears
that on Monday afternoon about 3
O'Clock, a tramp heavily disguised
called at the house of Mr. Frank R.
Candland, at Chester, and demanded
of Mrs. Candland, who was alone. the
keys to the trunk. Mrs. Candland
was very much frightened, but refused
to comply with the demand. He
seized her by the throat and threw her
to the floor, and after severe strug-
gle, as is shown by marks on the lady S
hands, face and breast, outraged her.
He then snatched the rings from her
fingers and took two lOaYeS of bread,
leaving his victim unconscious, where
she was found by neighbor. The
husband of Mrs. Candland was at
work two miles away. Officers and
men are securing the country. The
latest advices are to the effect that a
man was arrested at Moroni yesterday
on suspicion. He will be taken to
Chester for Identification. Certain
indications are they have the right

has been only certain in the uncer-
tainty of both Democrats and Repub-
licanS as to their policy, only to down

cumstances it will require some time
TO convince the Peoples Party of their
honesty. The greatest good to the
greatest number sounds soothing,

has been the actual fact. | am
Democrat in principle, and believe
the time will come when the Peoples
Party will divide on party lines; but to
attempt to do so in this county at the
present juncture, before some genuine
overtures are made, would only be
suicidal l do not think it polite at
present for single voter of the Peo-
pies Party in Utah county to severe
himself from that Party and affiliate
with either Democrats or Republicans.
If the time shall come when it will be
proper to join on national politics then
the Peoples Party should resolve TO
to do so IN mass meeting and not 10y
individuals.
