AT THE BEE HIVE HOUSE.
Grand Ball and Picnic by "SOnS OF
Independent Pioneers of Utnh."

Grand Ball and Picnic by "SOnS OF
independent Pioneers of Utah.
without doubt the most unique and
interesting entertainment Of the season
was that given at the former residence
of Brigham Young-the Bee Hive
house-last evening. Fully 800 hundred
people assembled in response to the
invitations issued by the society OF
Sons of Independent Pioneers of Utah.
The house was opened for the first
time in several years, and many per-
sons of the younger ages saw the IN
side for the first time. Not so with
the many old-timers present, for they
fairly reveled in memories OF the days
lang syne The house was lighted for
the nonce with candles. Rude chan
deliers of barrel slaves and laths, ;us-
pended from ceilings by wires, sup
ported a battery of candles that turn
ed the incandescent lights green with
envy. The rooms-some twenty or
mOre-were thronged with people going
and coming, Misunderstanding, chatting
and laughing. Dozens of baskets Of
picnic were deposited in one of the
rooms and the greatest trouble SEEM
ed to be to get somebody to consume
it. In one of the rooms speeches and
singing was enjoyed by as many as
could get in. Down in the basement a
barrel of good old-fashioned lemonade
was brewed and thither the thirsty
wendell their way. There was rot a
suspicion of valley Tan in it. On
the second and third floors two separ-
ate bands of music diScOurSed
for those who desired to join in the
dance. Many of the old gentlemen and
ing-on-the-corners' for the first
time in many years.
A number of the ladies-the younger
ones especially-appeared clad in the
quaint and pretty costumes well saved
by their pioneer mothers. Soft, dainty
silks in green, pink and large plaid
and figures-silks softened and mel
lowed by age-to behold which almost
bring tears of reverence to ones eyH5.
The hair dressed in the parted and
pIastered style of 1880, with the
square, high back comb of tortoise
shell. Cameo brooches and painted
Iportrait miniatures which antedate the
beautiful photographs of today. Cob
web laces and berthas of lace and en-
| broidery. Long neck chains with lock-
cts as large as a gentleman's watch
| and containing portraits of gran pa
| and gran ma"
Some of the boys were clad in the
| jehu suits that were worn by the
| teamsters known in early days by the
| not particularly eupnOnlOuS Ute OF
'fbullwhackers,' who crossed the plains
! to bring passengers and freight
sort of accommodation train-when
Utah was young Outside the building
! torches were placed to light the ap-
proach thereto, these being intended
to replace the pitch-pine-knot torch of
early days.
1t was with reluctance that the party
| began to dispense near midnight, and
/ the handshakings and cordial good
night revived the memory of many
g former night of triumph when pa
and ma were counting, and babe each
other good night, while the man in the
moon closed his eagle eye for a mo-
ment.
Taken all in all the entertainment
was a huge and undeniable success
and the promoters may feel repaid for
| their trouble in arranging it.

WARMTH AND FRICTION.
Lively Proceedings Over the Denver
& Gulf Receivership.

0uAA hSCelNeESDlD.
Omaha, March 27.-There was con-
siderable warmth and some friction in
the proceedings before Judge Caldwell
today in the case of the Denver. & Gulf
receivership. Attorneys Thurston and
Hobson INDUCED in several little pas
sages until finally Judge Caldwell sug-
gested TO Nh Ho5son, who was speak
ting, that he confine himself to matters
Of record and cease the discussion of
eXtraneous topics. The court was crowd
ed when Henry w Hobson. represent
ing Frank Trumbuil, receiver of the
Union Pacific & Gulf road, began his
address. At the very outset he took
issue with the position taken by Judge
Thurston in his address yesterday, when
1t was claimed that the Denver & Gulf
had not been absorbed by the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Hobson contended that
since the first day of April, 1890, the
Denver & Gulf had been entirely all
sorbed by the Union Pacific. He said
the records and reports of the Union
Pacific would show this. Mr.. Trumbull
represented no faction but came before
the court more as a representative of
the Union Pacific than the receivers
themselves. This imputation of a sim
lister motion on the part of the receiv-
ers was promptly challenged by Mr..
Thurston, and a rather hot exchange
occurred between the attorneys.
- Hardly had this passed when NTr.
yiobson took UP Judge Dundy's order
directing the Union Pacihc receiver 5
10 cease operating the Julesburg cut
of, thus depriving the Denver & Gulf
OF its direct outlet.
Again Mr.. Thurston came in, defend
ing Judge Dundys action in the matter.
mr.. acDson pursued his argument, tell
ing the story Of the consolidation. He
said

yesterday by Mr. Thurston, and the

as well as in Denver, scalping all the

Mr.. Hobson-We deny that in toto.

You will bring in your pay-rolls l will
show you what you are doing.
Mr.. Hobson maintained that the I'm
ion Pacific should pay the interest on
the Gulf bonds from October Is to
December Is.
I'VE do not claim that it should be
on a constructive mileage of to l, but
upon fair basis Of division" said
Mr.. Hobson
Judge Sanborn asked Mr.. Hobson
whether he commended these claims
were binding on the receivers on the
ground that they were fair and equit-
able.
Mr. Hobson then asked the court to
look at all the equity of the case in
deciding the case itself. The court
might decree that bird should sing,
but that would not make bird sing.
The underlying and consolidated
bonds of the Gulf company amount to
S22, 426, 000 all told, OF which the Union
Pacific owns $13,02S,000, the public own
ing the balance. These bonds were
pledged, together with a large number

amount thereof or not. In 1898, the

and taxes, enough to pay all its inter-
est charges on bonds other than those
owned by the Union Pacific. The earn
lngS for 1893, despite the disastrous
times, despite the fact that the Union
Pacific had to use the line as a break
water against competition, the Gulf
earnings were over $450,000 net.
He made the allegation that the I'm
ion company had charged up to the
Gulf company $4,000 for taxes per
month, which he stated the receivers
had refused to pay back to the Gulf
company, in consequence of which the
Gulf company is in default for it's
taxes for 1893.
To show that it was the intention of
the Union Pacific receivers to carry out
the terms of the contract of April /.
1891, relative to the Gulf company, Mr..
Hobson read an affidavit from MIR. S.
Ill. ii. Clark wherin he stated that if
he should be permitted to continue re-
ceiver, he would insist upon the speci-
fic performance of the terms of the
contract with the Gulf company. This
afhdaV1t was made on October 90, 1898.

had passed into the hands of the re-
ceivers.

country was preparing to evade the

pose. l have said to Admiral Walker
that if l occupied his position as COM

TO REGULATE POOLING.
Interesting Hearing Before the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission.

Washington, March 81. = Judge
Knapp, of the Interstate commerce
commission, was before the Senate
committee on Interstate commerce
and made a statement bearing upon
the bill for the regulation of railroad
pooling. He said, in most respects,
the bill was good one; but he thought
there should be an amendment au-
thorizing the commission to give rates
in the first instance. He advanced the
idea that the railroads could afford to
move freight at an average charge of
so cents per mile in the car
Attorney Cowan, of the Baltimore, 6.
Ohio and Attorney Bond. of the Rich
mond & Danville, took exception to this
statement, saying the estimate of NOV
ing expenses was too low, and it did
not take into account the investment,
the interest account, the vexatious de-
lay which often occurs, nor the fact
that many cars are idle.

Washington, March 27.-Representa-

as Furnishes any shippers or the agent

WALKED THE WATER.
Man With the Soap Boxes Was from
Chicago.

Pouehkeepsie. N. Y, March 26.-Cap-
tain Wolfe, of the brig tug Susie, while
cruising around the piers of the Pough-
keepsie bridge yesterday afternoon. saw
a man standing upon the middle Of the
river about two miles away, with APP
parently nothing under him to sup
port him. He steamed up to him and
when within hailing distance shouted:
Hello, where did you come FROM"
From Chicago? roared back a big
brawny Swede.
The stranger had soap boxes fas-
tened to his feet, and although the
water came up to his ankles he was
successfully preserving his balance and
padding his own canoe from the west
ern to the eastern shore. He was
taken on board the tug, and a free
passage on one of the night boats to
New York was given to the man with
the soap boxes.
