exception. The litigation is directed
against George c. Phelps of Englewood.

and the courts are asked to enter decree
in favor of the bereaved lover. Books and
keepsakes nominally valued at 5000 and
real estate worth $1,000 are comprised in
The disputed property. The complainant

residing at Englewood; that he and Miss
Phelps were related as cousins; that on the
4th day OF January, A. D. 1892, they en-
tered into a formal betrothal OF the one to
the other. The consideration then was
their mutual love to and for each other,
and as Mr.. Hay states, THAT thencefor-

They are coming a. last. What mean
by this, are the applications for Marshal

eral Miller expressed his surprise that
although ,hirty-six hours had elapsed
since the fact became public that he had
requested Parsons resignation, no one
had as yet come forward TO ask for the
place
Arthur Pratt OF Salt Lake was the first
man to break the record Of silence. a dis
patch was received from him after the de-
partment Of justice closed yesterday, stat
ing in effect that he desired to be con-
adhered IS an applicant for the place, and
that his formal application had been for
Warded through the mails
ABOUT noon today another application
was fled by L A. Benton, also of Salt
Lake Mr.. Benlon's telegram was equally
brief, bat was not SO brief that he failed
10 announce himself as candidate for the
place, and he. too, stated that his papers
were on the way.
/ asked the attorney general this after
noon If he would consult with the presi-
dent regarding the appointment of a
marshal for Utah during the latter's brief
stay in the city. He said he had as yet not
done SO, nor would he have an opportunity
TO do it at this time, inasmuch as the presi-
dent will return TO the Adirondacks in the
morning.
At the conference at the White House
today politics was tabooed, and no other
subject was discussed save that of the
better plan of preventing the introduction
Of cholera into the country.

THE SURVEYORS STORY.

SAULT ST. MARIE, Mich.,> Sept. 1.-The
fish tug T. M. G. A. arrived down tonight
having as passengers Harry Stewart of the
Algenac, Mich, Wheelsman, the only SUR
vivOr of the mammoth steel steamer West
ern Reserve, which foundered Tuesday
morning about 0 o'clock sixty miles above
Whitefsh point, an route to Keewaenaw.
The Western Reservt left 500 Tuesday,
having on board as passengers Captain
Peter Minch, owner, wife, children and
sister-in-law, besides the regular crew of
| twenty-five hands. The rest of the
steamers history is short and the fatality
! is best told in the words of Stewart, the
only survivor of the terrible disaster.
| Everything went well until about sixty
miles from White Fish point, when the first
warning Of the impending danger was the terri
bic crash caused by the huge craft breaking in
two. She took water fast and the yawl boats
were lowered, Captain M1lcha. family. officers
and crew to the number of seventeen got into
| the wooden yaWl and the others took the metal
lie one The Reserve sank in ten minutes and
| before she was out of sight the netalhc yawl
capsized. The other boat succeeded in rescu-
| ing two of the occupants and nineteen sur
yivors. The boat started for White Fish point
| sixty miles away Considerable OF q sea blew
up but the yawi weathered the breakers all
night and until o'clock next morning. When
about ten miles from life saving station No. 10
and abouta mile from the shore it capsized
Stewart says he saw none of the occu-
pants afterwards.
The cries of the children, the screams OF
the women ana the moaning of the men
were terrible for few minutes. He
struck for the shore, aud after being two
hours in the wafer, landed about ten
miles above the station and had to walk
| there before reaching anyone able to rem
! der him assistance. A search failed to find
trace of any other survivor OF the wreck
and there seems to be no question that all
| were drowned.
| A dispatch from Deer Park says that
| three bodies from the wrecked steamer
| Western Reserve were cast up by the
waves near there today. One of the bodies
| is that of Captain Minch, owner of the
! lost steamer, he was identified by the
watch found on his person. The two other
bodies are unidentified, one being that OF
pretty, dark-haired lady.
