Mcdonald WAS Rein.,.,.a

Police Officer Mcdonald will be rein
stated to his place in the department
today. This was the decision of the
BOARD of police and fire commissioners
at the meeting held yesterday after
noon. He will be allowed to draw paw
Tor the time he has been a private citi-
zen, except for fifteen days, which
amount of his salary will be retained as
line, the commission having reached
the conclusion that the officer was in
dlscreet in his actions at the time of
the serving of the Chapman warrant
and therefore should be reprimanded.
Mcdonald has been out of the depart
ment since the 21st of August, under
the suspension of the chief of police
the chiefs action being based upon
complaint made by Mrs. Chapman.

charged that while making service of a.

placed in his hands for service. In his
zeal the officer forced the door of
Chapman's room and there found Mrs.
Chapman in bed. The woman, in her
affidavit, which was used by the prose-
cution, declared that Mcdonald was
abusive and insulting, but this the Of
ficer denied and placed number of
witnesses upon the stand to prove that
he was not in an intoxicated condition
at the time of the attempted arrest.
He admitted having taken two glasses

AT the close of the taking of testi-

that If the board was of the opinion
that he had been guilty of the charges
he hoped the members would not hest

a manly talk and won the day for the
defendant, because the members of the
commission could see that Mcdonald
had learned pretty severe lesson

Work of Construction is to Com
mence Within Ninety Days.
The scheme for the construction of a
street railway in Logan and in the
county from Wellsville on the south to
Richmond on the north, seems to be
Undertaking., writes Logan CORES
pondent. The proposed road will use
electricity as a motive power, and will
run through Hyrum and Smithfield be-
sides touching the towns of Millsville,
Providence and Hyde Park The
county court, a its last session, granted
the company the necessary franchises
as have also ali the cities named, and
it is expected that work will soon COM
mence. The name of the company pro-
jecting the line is the Hercules Electric
Power company, composed of Logan
and eastern capitalists.
Parties in Logan constructed a canal
and built a power dam in Logan canyon
about three miles from town. The at
tention Of Mr.. z. B. Tyler, representing
a large electrical firm in Missouri, was
called to the remarkable possibilities
presented by this power dam, and after
investigation he did not hesitate to
close an agreement with the owners
to establish a street railway and electric
light system in Logan. Just as soon

will begin to ship $4,000 worth of ma
chinery to Logan, which is expected to
arrive here within thirty days there
after. A condition of the franchises is
that work shall commence within
ninety days after their issuance, hence
the people being confident that it is a
bona f1de proposition, are jubilant over
the prospect for cheaper lights and in
creased transportation facilities. 1t is
understood that efforts will be made
to complete the street railway line from
the depot to the Agricultural college
the present year.

INCREASE IN STAMP SALES.
Good showing Being Made By Salt
Lakes Postoffice.

Postofices are always accepted as
harometers of the business being tran
sacted throughout the country, and
those Of the west are, as a general rule,
showing satisfactory upward progress
of the mercury. None of them are
keeping pace with the Salt Lake Office,
however, and not onezca show as large
an increase in the sale of stamps for
the nine months of the year 1894, as
compared with those Of the nine months
IN 1893 This showing is a source OF
pardonable pride to Postmaster Nash
and his assistants, and they were yes
terday cengratulating themselves on
the continued jump in the totals of
sales and the constant increase in the
receipts from the issuance of money
orders.
When he made up his regular quar-
terly report yesterday morning Mr..
Nash found that for the nine months
ending with September 30th, the total
sales of stamps in the office had been
s1S.l2275. as compared with $17,S32.2S
for the first nine months in 1893, gain
of S29037 This does not seem to be a
very large increase, but when 1T is
taken into consideration that heavy re-
auctions in the sales of stamps are be-
ing made by the general use Of stamps
Yin the country as mediums of change
by mail, the amount assumes respecta-
BILE and very gratifying proportions
Newspapers receive many stamps from
the outside, large firms receive stamp
-remittances from their country custom
ers, and this influx OF the paper tends
to lessen the sales at the larger offices.
Instead of showing an increase Denver
returns give loss for the month of
September, and also for the nine
months, as compared with correspond
ing periods of last year, and this is the
case with many of the offices of the
larger citi-s of this country. An in
crease be it ever so small, is pointed to
with great pride by the postoffice Off
Gals, who have been fortunate enough
to make such showings.
While the sales of stamps have in
creased, the deposits from the outside,
Salt Lake being a general depository
for the small offices Of Utah, part of
Idaho Wyoming and Nevada, have
fallen %f somewhat, the total for the
nine months just ended being Sc, 72217,
as COMPARED with $735S.99 for the cor
responding period of 1893, ora loss of

The Gulf Line.

General Agent Sherman, of the Gulf
Line. received notice yesterday that the
acquisition Of the Denver, Leadville &
Gslnnison railway by the Gulf system,
very materially increased their termi-
nal facilities in Denver. Many of the
leading industries of that city, includ-
ing the Denver Paper mills, the Over
land Cotton mills and the Denver Sewer
Pipe & Clay company, are now located
on side tracks owned by the Gulf line.
This line is now an important factor
in Colorado-Utah business.
Mr.. Sherman also has notice that the
Morgan Steamship line has arranged
for a tri-weekly service between New
York and New Orleans. The Morgan
line is one Of the steamship connections
at New Orleans of the Gulf system
The Utah patrons Of tine joint lines will
appreciate the increased service.

the Celestials have formed washing

the washing is done for a number of
