A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.
Quarrymen Exhume Fortified Nan
on the East Rench-The Comniu-
nifty Startled.

The silence of the city was broken
last Monday evening about o'clock,
by three or four loud explosions is
suing in quick succession from the
northeast portion of the city. These
unexpected sounds caused many peo-
pie to step to their doors for an ex-
PLANTATION, and fears were expressed
that some of the powder magazines
had exploded. On Tuesday morning,
investigation disclosed that quarry
men in that part Of town discharged
the blasts in breaking down a ledge
of limestone, and the subject was dis
missed from the public mind until to-
wards the latter part of the week,
when the startling rumor became cur
rent that the explosions had accom-
plished something more besides I'M
seating the rock; that they had ex-
hulned and brought to light, the petri-
fed remains of a human befng-a man
apparently about So years old. When
the Workmen entered the pit, after the
smoke Of the blasts had cleared away,
they found the body among the broken
rock, and singuiarly enough, entirely
unchanged by the explosion.
1t seems the blasts had disturbed the
quiet of an ancient tomb and exposed
a body imortalized in stone by the
seeping lime water.
The figure is so perfectly preserved,
that every vein can be traced upon
its stony surface. 1t is the figure of
a man about 51a feet in height, with a
face handsome in the extreme. The
eyes are half closed, and around the
mouth still plays the remnants of a
smile, which was frozen there by the
sudden summons of the grim messen-
ger. The thumb Of the right hand is
attached to the right ear, and the right
leg is crossed over the left above the
knee. The neck is strong. sinewy and
we'll formed. The heel of the left foot
is fastened to what seems to have been
a portion of a tessellated floor. The
face and head show no signs of beard
or hair. The left thumb is placed just
above the lower lobe of the left ear.
The lips are partly opened. and show
a beautiful set Of well preserved, regu-
lar teeth. The fingers of the right
hand are widespread. while those of
the left are extended as if to grasp
some neighboring object The magni-
f1cent proportions of the figure indi-
cate that in life the man was an
Adonis.
Nothing was found to indicate
in what period of the world he walked

AHERN IN POLICE COURT.
HE TESTIFIES THAT HE RELIEVED
HIS WIFE INSANE.
Ed Wells Pleads Guilty to Hanging
Jim Sing-An Old Case Dismissed
A Lot of Business Before Judge
Grant II. Smith.

There was a dramatic scene in the
police court yesterday during the trial
OF the Ahern case when the defendant
himself took the stand to testify. Ac-
cording to his tale of woe made under
oath he was married December %, 1892.
He worked at the Rio Grande shops.
On the oath of last September his wife
forsook him, taking everything of
value, including about 500 of savings,
with her. She remained away until
Jan. 2, when she came back and
pleaded to be forgiven and few days
later informed him that she was
enciente. About three weeks ago the
baby was born, and after that time
she manifested signs of mental dis
order.
This dementia on her part led to an
attempt TO poison herself with lauda-
mum one week ago yesterday, but she
was prevented from accomplishing her
purpose.
The witness denied ever using his
pistol in an attempt TO kill her and
reiterated his former statement
that the weapon exploded in the
struggle which ensued when he
endeavored to get it away from her.
This was on Sunday night The wit
ness was sleeping on a lounge and
Mrs. Ahern woke him up. She had the
pistol in her hand and begged him to
shoot her.
Ahern declares that he had been
without sleep for nearly two weeks
and that he was dazed on being aWah-
ened but that he made a grab for the
weapon and remembers hearing it go
off. Questioned as to the many
bruises upon her face and body he
said he had to use force TO get the
weapon and that accounted for it.
At this point in his testimony the
witness broke down and Wept. He and
his wife had always lived happily to-
gether, so he said and when she con-
fessed to being criminally intimate
with a certain man he did not believe
it, thinking her insane. On Saturday
last she had asked him if he were
angry with her and he had replied In
the negative. That night she was very
deliriouS and unable TO care for the
baby so the neighbors had to be sum
moned.
Witness said that he had accused the
man referred to of the undue intimacy
confessed by his wife but that the lat
| ter denied it.
Erastus Kidd was called by the de-
| tense and testified to making an ex
( animation of the house and had touno
| a bullet hole six or seven feet above
| the floor. This goes to prove that al
least two shots were fired.

The Ground Hog.

The ground hog and his shadow are
subject to intense interest about this
season OF the year. 1t seems that they
have something to do with the
weather, but why they do and how
tney can is something we have always
been unable to understand. If the
beast sees his shadow he Immediately
returns to his hole, and then it either
rains or it don't rain. Some people
say 1t does, and some people say it
don't The only thing that is at all
certain, is that he goes in his hole.
The ground hog ought to put his bust
ness on a more satisfactory basis
make it more definite and certain so
that the public may rely with some
degree Of satisfaction upon his obser-
Tatons. Whatever. may be the con-
cIus1on this year reached by this sa-
gaciouS animal the opinion is preva-
lent that we shall have an early spring.
An early spring means early flowers
and flies. The flowers will deck the
bosom of popperton with innumerable
garlandS, and the fies-but there are
no flies on popperton-so we will let
that pass. There are some good lots
up there, however, which we shall
soon be urging You to buy-lots that
are not eQualed in lovliness of loca-
ton anywhere in Salt Lake Lots
upon which you can build a home
with the consciousness of having al
ways about it the charms OF good
neighborhood, from the windows of
which you can look forth upon a spec
tacle Of surprising beauty. and within
the walls Of which-if you are the
right sort of perSon-you can extract
all the honey out Of life.

GAS MAINS ARE DELAYED
TWO CARLOADS SOMEWHERE THIS
SIDE OF THE MISSOURI.
Nyorl1men VIII BE Laid OF Until the
Pipe Arrives-GOod Progress BEING
Made With the New Wells.

But for the fact that two carloads
of mains are now delayed somewhere
between this city and the Missouri
river the mains Of the American
Natural Gas company, which are now
at point almost directly west of the
Warm springs, would have reached
the intersection of Main and South
Temple streets not later than Tuesday.
AS it is there is a strong probability
that they may not be laid to the point
named before the end of the week.
Orders were issued yesterday after
noon by the superintendent Of con-
Struction, to the effect that all of the
men but those engaged in back-flling
and the small gang out at the wells
should be discharged until the day OF
the arrival OF the 5000 feet of add
tiOnal mains, when operations are to
be resumed with great Yigor and the
system pushed to an early completion
The trench is now down Third West
street to point back of the st. Mark S
for the rapid laying of mains when
work is resumed. During the interval
of comparative suspension of opera
tons the back-fillerS will level UP the
trench where the pipe has been laid
and tested and make the system per-

out at the gas fields all Of the con-
nections are to be made secure and the
wells which are to furnish the supply
Of gas are to be covered over by small
houses and securely locked up
Good progress is being made with
the driving of the new well at the
fields and the pipe is rapidly approach
ing that depth when it is confidently
expected that the gas stratum will be
encountered. The well is enclosed
with a high board fence and it is
therefore impossible for the general
public to witness any of the opera
tons, but the announcement has been
made that the indications are very
iattering and it is highly probable
that gas will be flowing from the well
within the next few days.
The Great Salt Lake Natural Gas
and Fuel company, which recently
secured a bond and lease upon the old
French farm in the near neighborhood
of the Lake Shore fields, is preparing
to commence operations on the pro-
perty at very early date. The we'll
driving machinery has already been
secured and some few small details
are all that is lacking to make the
plans of the company perfect. When
once operations are commenced it is
the intention of the board of directors
Of the company to prosecute the worl.
vigorously and secure the flows Of gas
which are only awaiting the necessary
piping to convey them to the surface.

showing three bullet holes, while Off

bonds of 500.

Wells, three ex-ConVicts, were az
raigued on the charge OF assault, they
being the ones who hung Jim Sing by

can be imagined. Wells pleaded
guilty but his companions said they
knew nothing about the occurrence.
jim Sing does not understand Eng
ish very well but when he heard this
he got up and gave partomime ex-
hibition of the affair. showing how
the three had strung him UP and then
kicked him.

object of the incorporation is to build

be extended to Mohave to connect
with the Atlantic & Pacific. thus Sc
curing to San Francisco competi-
tive road to the Missouri river.
The Carson & Colorado railroad is
built through Nevada and California
to Keller, which is within 100 miles
of Mohavc. The surveys are al
ready made, and if the G. & c. Com
pany can see a reasonable chance of
making the road pay, there is no
doubt the connection will be made.
