ELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
THE following communication has
been received from town In northern
I1tah,

Utah.
Editor Semi Weeiiy NclpG
Dear Sir--I notice in your issue Of
September md an opinion as TO whom
the county school superin tendonis will
be elected. There appears to be a con-
fiict in the law M to the election Of school
trustees. Please give MS your opinion on
the subject. a SUBSCRIBER.
The general election Of March 10,
1862, provides for an election Of city,
town, Village and school district OIL
GERS who arc by law made elective,
on tho Tuesday after the hrst
Monday In November, 1892, who are
TO enter upon their duties on the first
day OF January, 1893, and continue In
office until January /, 1894. ALEC for
an. election Of similar officers In 1903,
who are TO enter upon their offices ON
January lat, 1894 and continue In
Office for two years.
The school law OF tho same date, In
section 30 provides specially for this
election Of three school trustees In
each school district Of the Tcrrltory,on
the T tuesday, after the iirst Monday In
November, 1892. TO serve for one year,
aud for another election In 1898, the
trustees then elected TO serve for tw %
years.
50 far there Is no appearance OF con-
hlct In the law. In section l47 OF the
schooi law 1t ls provided that the terms
OF tho school trustees now In OIL ce,
(except In cities Of the first and second
clAss) which would expire under the
old law In 1901 or 1892, shall continue
until the full terms OF office for which
they were elected have expired. In
each caso It ia provided, Of course, that
incumbents shall hold until their sue
cessorr are elected and qualified. II
there IN any apparent conflict between
this and the other sections cited II Ia, In
our opinion, not real.
II there are school trustees now In
office whose terms should expire dur
ing any time In 1902, they will con-
tinue to hold until Jan. lat, 1898, and
until their successors are elected and
qualified, but no longer. And should
there be any incumbents Whose terms
do not expire under the old law until
July, 1893, they viii vacate on the LIST
Of January, 1893, or when their sue.
cessors, elected In November, 1892, arc
qualified.

BRADsTREErs OF New York has the
following report on the wool markets
for the week ending Sept. 3, 1892:
Tho leading wool markets report a
quiet demand but firm prices on all
grades. Manufacturers arc now woll
supplied, and unless they can get wool at
their figures arc not inclined 10 buy.
Tho fact that dealers are refusing ollors
which involve concessions on their part
shows that prices have touched bottom.
Woods have been 80 high In tho country
that dealers have been leit very small
margins, and they cannot mako concos-
sions without going below cost Stocks
arc large, but they arc In strong hands.
Flooces still lead tho market In point
of demand. Thoy are tho cheapest
wool Mt present on tho market.
At present quotations they ARE firm
aud ought to go higher, or else othor
grades must go lower. Quarter bloods
arc still quiet. There II very little doing
In Texas woods, but the supply is light
and pricos unchanged. Very little busl-
moss il reported In California woods. A
few sales arc reported Of Montana aud
Utah woods, but otherwise Territories
have been neglected. There IL only u
moderate trade in pulled woods. Austral-
ian woods arc In light demand. The out

Eifty-livc Perish.

LONDON, Feb. 2G.-A fearful disas-
ter, involving the loss of about fifLy-livc
lives, has occurred in the North Sea, of
the coast Of Yorkshire, England. The
lull &c alls have not We. been received.
1t appears from brief dispatches tina
two British steamships, The Forest
Queen and the Loughbrow, came into
collision near the plomOntory kno Hn as
tlawborough Head. which rises, with
the lighthouse that CROWDS it, to the
helHhL OF 2l4 feet above the North Sea.
The collision appears 70 have come
without the slightest warning. The two
vessels crashed together. the bow of the
Lrughbr0w cutting the Forest Queen IN
TWO. In an instant, almost, without a
cry, the Forest Queen, sunk and every
soul on board, passengers and crew, to
the number titLy-live, with one excep-
ton, were drowned.
The captain Of the Forest Queen, be-
ing on deck at the time of the disaster,
appears to Lave been pulled on board
the l.0ughbroN. The latter vessel was
considerably injured, but not enough to
sink.
The greatest excitement rcigned at
marlborough when the news became
known, and boats pushed cut to the
scene to see what could be done in saw
ing life. The wreck ofthc Fores! Queen
had, however, utterly disappeared.
Further news is awaited with great
anxiety. The vessel seems to have
been a cOastwise steamer.

- Murder Plot Frustrnted.

SANANNAII. Feb. 26.-The news be-
came public today that an attempt to
assassinate John McDonough, mayor of
this city, was frustrated on Wednesday
night solely by the mayors suspicious.
Late last night two negroes aroused the
mayor and tried to induce him to leave
his residence, on the preteXt that he
was needed at police headquarters, and
that they had been sent tor him. He
was suspicious, and did not leave the
house. In the morning ii was ascer-
tanned that the negroes had lied. Yes
terday afternoon another negro confess
ed that he had been hired to endeavor
TO get the mayor out Of his house on
"Wednesday night. For his services ne
was to get $50. lie backed out, and the
parties employed other negroes. 1t is
bellcVed the principals were lying
in wait behind trees, and as soon as
The mayor left the house they
were going to shoot HIM. Tho po-
lice are on the track OF the parties
The mayor has been extremely severe
on eyil-doers, and especially on viola
tors of the Sunday laws, and the plot to
assassinate him grew out of that fact.
The publication of the facts arouS, d
intense feeling.
