PROBABLE LEGISLATION.

What will be the principal legislation to
be considered this session?
Three topics of overweaning Importance
stand out for consideration. The first is
the city charter bill, enlarging the powers
of large cities in accordance with the sug-
gestions made by the committee from the
Salt Lake city council and the chamber of
commerce. 1t has been reported that this
bill deferred the coming February election
/ till November, but members of the COM
mittee state that this is not correct.
The second matter of Importance will be
an election bill, and without doubt a
clause adopting the Australian ballot sys-
| tenn will be incorporated.
! The third piece of legislation over which
: there is much speculation is the appropri-
alton for the Worlds fair. The chamber
of commerce directors have resolved to
ask the legislature to appropriate 500, 000
| The concensus of opinion among members
seen by the HERALD reporter yesterday is
that the territory should be represented in
Chicago and that the legislature will
give whatever it was found the ter
ritorial treasury could properly afford.
1t may be put down emphatically
however. that no amount will be voted that
is lot hedged around with proper disburs-
! ing restrictions. Not that this implies any
want of confidence in the Democratic
Republican Liberal Commissioner named
by Governor Thomas. Perish the thought
but among the first of Democratic pr!nci-
pies are economy. prudence and strict re-
gard for the laws of business in handling
money.
The general appropriation bill is always
an important one, and will without doubt
provide as usual tor the needs of distant
counties and the wants of our various pub
lie institutions, notably the fair, the uni
versity and the asylum. The old time
friction between the governor and the leg
islaJure having been largely done away
with regarding officers of these institutions
there will probably be no wrangle as to
the amounts these institutions shall re-
| ceive.

SKETCHES OF THE MEMBERS.
Brief Pen Pictures Of the Democrats and
Liberals in the Two Houses.

THE HERALD presents herewith a brief
sketch of each of the thirty six members,
with their cuts. 1t has been an arduous
undertaking to gather these portraits from
the four corners of the territory and few
Of them are necessarily imperfect, owing
to their being reduced from old pictures,
and in some cases prepared with great
haste. Then, too, few Liberals
were hostile to the notion of
having their features shown forth from
the pages of THE HERALD, and they had to
be caught on the fly, as it were without
their knowledge or consent. But on the
whole the cuts are good, and in the sketches
following, the people of Utah may obtain
good idea of the material that makes
up one of the most notable legislatures
that ever assembled in Utah.

branch line to Williamsburg by way of
Frankstown avenue and ordinances are now
being prepared for presentation to the Coun-
ellis of Brushton, Williamsburg and this
city to carry the charter into effect. The
greater part of the line will be new only in
name, the Penn Street Railway Company
taking the place of the Frankstown Street
Railway Company, over the route now
traversed by the latter out to Silver Lake
Grove. A dislike for the old title and q
desire to catch share of the Williamsburg
and Brushton traffic decided the Citi-
zens' Company to discard their old charter
altogether and get one under the new
name.
1t is intended to extend the line to Wilk-
insburg by way of the old Frankstown
road, which is a continuation Of the avenue,
reaching the borough at Wood street, and
following Wood to Amanda street, where a
connection with the new line of the Du-
quesne Company will be made. By consent
of Councils and the Duquesue Company,
the Penn line will use the Duquesne's new
loop through the borough and return by
the same route as they enter.
The route runs close bv the Homewood
race track, through Brushton borough, and
will leave the company in position to con-
tinue their line by way of the Sandy Creek
road to Hutton, Verona and the other thriv-
ing towns up the A. V. r. R., as soon as
the development of that section justifes.
The line is to be made electric. There
will only be about two miles of track to
lay beyond their present line, and if sue
cessful in getting the franchises the officials
expect to have the new system in operation
by November 1.

Attorney Bremen Thinks the Fitzpatrick
Case Is Now Hopeless.
w. j. Bremen, attorney for Fitzpatrick,
the condemned murderer, returned yes
terday from Philadelphia, where he had
gone to appear before the Supreme Court in
behalf of his client. Mr. Bremen asked
the Supreme Court for authority to carry
up to that court his case on writ of error.
Mr.. Bremen has little confidence that his
request will be granted, and he is therefore
of the opinion that Fitzpatrick will be
hanged next Thursday, the day fixed for the
execution.
kirkpatrick is an amusing fellow" Mr..
Bremen said. Before leaving for Phila-
delphia called upon him with the petition
presented to the Supreme Court. 1 read
to him the petition and asked him to swear
to it. He listened attentively to the read
ing of the legal document, and then l told
him to hold up his hand and be sworn. I'll
do nothing of the kind the condemned
man said. I was surprised, and asked him
what he meant. He said: 4 have heard
what you read but don't understand those
big words, and 1 won't swear to lie if they
hang me before night. I then explained to
him what the legal phrases meant, and then
he gladly made affidavit to the truth.
cot course, have no information as to
what the Supreme Court will do with my
petition, but hardly think they will grant
what is asked for, and 1 am afraid it is all
up with the unfortunate fellow. He has no
money and no friends, and the law certainly
threatens to make short work in his case"
