One of Them Files Round the Plane

MI. Percival Lowell announces that
the two moons Of Mars, Deimos ana
Phobos, were observed at his observa-
tory at Flagstaff by A. f. Douglass on
September 10. This is the first view
of these minute bodies, during the pres
ent opposition; in fact, the late on
which they were actually seen precedes
by far more than a week the computed
time Of visibilik. as published In the
Nautical Almanac"
These little satellites, which are by
far the smallest celestial objects known
TO us. were discovered by Prof. Asaph
| Hall, of Washington, in August 1885,
being the result of a search for posi-
| BILE satellites while the planet was IN
4 favorable position. According to the
suggestion Of an Englishman MI. Ma
dan. the names Demos and PhoDos
were given to them, these being the
names Of the tabled charity horses OF
Mars. DcimOs, the outer one, Is the

small size they are visible only at op-

from their primary is 5000 and 15,OOO
miles respectively, the time of revolu-

one some thirty hours, and for the In

seven hours and a half. The rotation
of Mars about it's axis is very nearly

The Coquette Sat Out That Dance

At a ball one evening, a .)lain coun-
try gentleman had engaged a pretty CO.
quette for the next dance, but a gallant
yachting captain coming along persuad-
ed the young lady to abandon her pre-
vious engagement in favor of himself.
The other, overhearing all that had
passed. moved toward a card-table and
sat down to a game Of whist, says the
San Francisco Argonaut. The captain,
a few minutes afterward. stepped up
to the young lady to xcu himself, as
he was engaged to another he had for
gotten. The coquette, much chagrined,
approached the whist table, hoping to
secure her first partner, aud said:

Have n Hearing This Morning.

Ogden, Utah, Jan. 25.-LSpecial.1 J.
Shortly after o'clock this morning,
the residence of Will Swan, on Mon
roe avenue was entered by burglars
and a desperate encounter took place
between Swan and the burglars.
Mr.. Swan was awakened by noise
down stairs and taking his revolver
he went TO the head of the stairs
and listened. Hearing voices below,
he turned on the electric lights and
started down to investigate, just as
the two burglars started up. Both
parties opened fire, eight shots taking
effect in the walls, when the burglars
retreated by a back window. They
secured nothing.
About half an hour later Editor
Dubrow, of the Standard, reached
Twenty-Secono street, on Adams
avenue where he was held up at the
muzzles of two guns by the same two
men, who relieved him of a gold watch.
a bunch of keys and small sum OF
money They then ordered him to
march on, and ran south on Adams
to the corner of Twenty-Fifth street
where they were met by Officer Meis-
ner.
Meisner accosted them and was at
once covered with their guns and told
to go on. He walked out into the
street when they opened fire on him,
one of the shots taking effect in his
ankle. Meisner returned the fire and
the men then ran on to Twenty-SlXth
street, where they were met by Officer
Brown who captured one of them in
an clubhouse. At o'clock tonight the
other man was captured by officer
Sullivan after long chase. The men
have been positively identified as the
ones who entered Swans house. and
shot officer Meisner. Their names are
Frank Hamilton and Frank Stellar
or Sinclair The former was released
from the Utah penitentiary last Tues
day, where he has served a term of
three years for housebreaking at Salt
Lake. The latter was released from
the penitentiary last Wednesday.
There is little doubt but what there is
already evidence enough to send them
up again for another term.
Lee and Hayes have been retained
to defend the prisoners, who will have
a hearing tomorrow.
