county Physician E. S. Wright sub
mftted the following communication
relative to making some changes at the
county infirmary in order to give need
ed care to certain cases of insane pa
tents.
"Gentlemen-I would respectfully
suggest that in my Judgment the coun-
ty would do we'll to make a few addi-
LlOnS 10 the annex at the infirmarV.
either to raise it one story or fix I'D a
few rooms provided with heavy doors
and bars for the accommodation of
some unfortunate inebriates and others
who are DESTROYS of overcoming their
habits in this direction. These places
could be used for temporary confine-
ment of cases of temporary or mild
insanity. the need of which we con-
stantly feel.
BY thus committing the cases
think a very worthy object would be
accomplished aside from the saving to
the poor unfortunates, who become
temporarily deranged, the stigma asso-
cfated with their commitment to the
insane asylum at Provo. In the event
or raising -he annex one story we
would find it convenient to treat cases
at the infirmary that now have to be
sent to the hospital.
Very respectfully,
"E. S. WRIGHT"

The divorce case of Thomas e. Tai
hurst against Elizabeth Jones Tai
hurst came up before Judge Young
yesterday afternoon. Richards & Rich
ards appeared for the plaintiff and
Powers & Straup for the defendant.
The parties intermarried IL this city
on October Is, 1894, and the plaintiff
alleged that his wife deserted him on
November 10, 1894, and still continues
10 live apart from him.
Mrs. Talhurst filed an answer and
cross-complaint, denying the allega-
ton of desertion and alleging by way
of cross-complaint that plaintiff treat
ed her with extreme cruelty, neglect
ing her when sick and refusing her
proper care and attention and failed
TO support her. She asked for a di-
vorce and SIS a month alimony.
The parties are young. the plaintiff
being 26 years of age, and his wife D.
The former, telling his story on the
witness stand, said that he had SIPS
when they married He furnished a
little house and they went to house
keeping. Soon after his wife became
sick and DR.. Bower was called in, al
though for a while she refused to have
any medical advice, or any nurse or
help in the house. She grew worse,
and became delirious, then the doctor
was called and witness mother helped
to nurse her, but she was unreason-
able and foolish and wanted to go to
her sisters. She said there were evil
spirits in the house. Witness did not
think she was very sick and they had
frequent misunderstanding He was
a miller by trade, and worked at nights
most of the time. He removed Mrs.
TaIhurst to his mothers and she help
ed to nurse her. She was not salts
fed with the nursing she received. She
complained that she was left upstairs
in room by herself and was furnish
ed with a stick so that she could
knock on the floor if she wanted any
thing and so attract attention.
She wanted to go to her sisters, but
witness didn't wish her to go. She
insisted and the doctor said it would be
better for her to go, and finally he took
her there is buggy.
They talked about getting divorce
and after a while he commenced the

CORNER ON TAR.
Salt Lake Firm Said to Have Com
troll of the Market.

1t may sound novel, but the fact is
there is a corner on the coal tar market.
The average man doesn't use coal tar in
his business; coal tar is not an article
OF domestic use and the housewife with
any portion of ingenuity, no matter how
small, can get along and cook a good
meal without the aid of coal tar, but
then there are some people who have to
have it in order to get along. Take a
man with a penchant for gravel roofing,
he has to have tar; the fellow who caulks
boats uses tar also; in short there are
hundred uses for tar.
Now in Utah the tar producers are the
gas works of this city and Ogden. The
output is quite considerable and many
barrels of the black stuff are produced
every month.
Yesterday the deal was consummated
by which the New State Gravel Roofing
company secured an option on all the
tar which could be produced in this city
and Ogden and also took the supply on
hand, consisting of about 500 barrels
AS result the price of tar will be
SIS per barrel, beginning with this morn
ing. And those who want tar will have
to buy of the new trust just organized.
The rates on the railroads are such that
it will not pay to ship tar in here and
pay freight. So that if a crowd wanted
to tar and feather a man the members
thereof would have to patroniZe home in
dustry or pay an advanced rate some
where else

CONSTANTINE.

On cross-examination witness said he
didn't think his wife was very sick.
She wouldn't take the medicine pre-
| scribed by the doctor. While she was
sick he helped with the homework, and
prepared his own meals. He didn't
like this, and told her something must
be done. He asked her why she was
putting everybody to so much trouble
He opposed her going to her sisters
and told her if she went it would be
against his will He denied that he
ever told her that she was not a fit
wife for anybody. He never thought
she was very sick. 1t was more tenn
per than anything else that was the
matter with her. He courted her four
years before marriage, but they lived
happily only about three weeks after
marriage.
Witness said that when he thought
his wife was enceinte he talked with
her about taking something, but he
did not advise her to do it. She, how
ever, said she would do nothing Of the
kind. While his wife was staying with
her sister, witness broke up the house
and removed the furniture to his
mothers. He did that to save expense
In redirect examination witness said
the reason heSspoke to his wife about
taking something when she was en-
ceinte, was because a doctor had said
that in her then state of mind it might
be better for her to do something of
the kind. but the decor would not do
anything for it without consulting
with other physicians and nothing was
done.
THE MOTHER-IN-LAW.

tiff, testified to the fact of her daugh-

nothing which pleased her. She was

son. as far as she could see, treated
his wife kindly. She got very excited
once and got up in bed and struck her
husband and said she would like to
kill him.
Cross-examined, witness said she
thought her daughter-in-law was part
ly out of her head when she
struck the plaintiff. She acted very
strangely and sometimes would scream
so that she could be heard blocks
away. Witness thought her conduct
arose partly from meanness and part
ly because she didn't know fully what
she was doing. She once struck wit
ness. The blow was not very severe,
but the action hurt witness feelings
very much. ''Anybody's feelings would
be hurt under the circumstances.
Yours would said the witness, ad-
dressing Judge Powers.
Here an argument arose between
counsel and the witness, the former
insisting that the witness could net
read his feelings at ALL and the latter
that she could. She said she had had
twenty years experience in that line,
and was quite sure Judge Powers
would feel badly if he was subjected
to the treatment that witness had re-
ceived from her daughter-in-law.

BEARS CONTROL NEW YORK WHEAT
Declines to n Point Five Cents Below
MedncsdnE's Figures.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-Today's wheat
market declined to a point cents below
last nights close. All day long the market
was under bear control, although at mid
day talk of export business in the north
west started some buying. 1t only served
to intensity the Generalization of the last
half hour, however. At 40 o'clock Decem-
Der ruled fairly steady at S0A cents, while
soon after 2 o'clock Ii sold at 77A cents.
The decline was almost Unprecedented In Its
fercenoss. 1t was caused by tight money
market and inability of bulls to hold on to
their wheat any longer. The break was ac-
complished by the widest excitement and
prices descended SO rapidly that 1t was
utterly impossible for brokers to execute
their orders anywhere near the desired fig
ure Plunges of from u cent to II cent
were frequent. Early in the day traders
had an idea that the. break was over and
loaded up accordingly, only to be caught by
the slump near the close. Foreign houses
were heavy sellers during the entire ses-
sion. Reports from Liverpool, Berlin and
Paris showed weakness at each market. In
addition to this northwestern receipts were
again on a large scale. Transactions for
the day amounted to 10 430, 900 bushels. In
corn and oats there was a small trade
with a very steady market. The opening
was weak. but the offerings were soon taken
care OF and during the balance CT the ses-
sion the markets were steady, easing or a

MAY HAVE nEEN AN ACCIDENT
Yonkers Police Discredit Idea that
Mr. Andrus Wns AssnssInnted.

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-Chief Mangin OF
the Yonkers police said today that the mys-
terry surrounding the tragic death of Hamlin
]. Andrus of the Arlington Chemical COM
pany, who was killed by an explosion in his
office yesterday, has been solved. Chief
Mangin said that Mr.. Andrus had not been
killed by anarchists, nor was his death the
result of any plot, as was at first supposed.
The chief after a careful investigation, has
come to the conclusion that Mr.. Andrus
met his death while experimenting with Ii
machine which he intended to use on the
safe in his office to kill burglars should they
attempt to rob the safe.
The brother and son of Mr.. Andrus do not
accept Chief Mangn's theory but insist
that Mr.. Andrus was the victim of muir
derous plot. L.
Coroner Mills says he is not ready to
concede that Andrus was accidentally killed
and he will continue the investigation until
the mystery that surrounds the tragedy
shall have been cleared away.
Coroner Mills today found thirty feet OF
wire under the building in which the eXplo-
sion occurred together with four dry cell
batteries, which had evidently been used In
creating an electric current The wire was
stretched under the floor of the Office build
ing to a point directly beneath where stood
the box which Is believed to have contained
the bomb These wires are said to have
run to an unoccupied building in the vicin-
ity OF the chemical works Owing to today S
developments the inquest has been postponed
for week
