Jackson, o.. Nov. s.--All the coal min
crs here are idle. President Batchford
of the Ohio miners is here holding con
ferences and there was mass meeting
today, but no settlement has been reach
ed. The miners are resisting the 45-cent
rate. saying they can barely live in that
region at the 61-cent rate. The men have
been having less than half time for
months and are suffering now. The
trouble is over the differentials of diff
ferent districts in the state and it is
feared that the controversy will cause
a general strike OF many thousands.

The supreme court was occupied yes
terday in hearing the arguments on
the appeal of Harry Hayes who was
convicted in the Fourth district court
at Provo Of the crime of murder in the
hrst degree for the killing of his step
son, Albert Ernstrom Hayes. 1t was
charged that the defendant had killed

Chly, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged A motion for a new trial was
denled from which ruling and the iudg-
ment OF the court the appeal was taken
The defendant relies for reversal of
the judgment on the contention that the
verdict is not supported by the EVIL
dence, IN that there is no evidence tend
ing TO prove that the murdered boy
was killed in Utah county; that there
is no evidence to prove that the defend
ant killed the boy, but on the contrary
the evidence tends to show that at the

deIendant was in Eureka Defendant
also urges errors at the trial. alleging
that the court erred in permitting coun-
sci Tor the prosecution in his opening
statement of the case to the jury TO
state, over the objection Of the defend
ant, that the bodies of Andrew johnson
and Alfred Nelson were found about
mile from where the body of Albert
Ernstrom was found on the shore of
Utah lake, and that Andrew Johnson
was found to have been shot through
the temple and Alfred Nelson was shot
IN the back of the head. That during
the search for these two bodies the de-
PENDANT displayed utter Indifference;
that his heart had been filled with mall
ice against them for four. or five years.
The court, it is further contended,
erred in overruling defendants objec-
ton to the introduction in evidence of

Z. C. M. l. DIVIDEND.
THE GREAT INSTITUTION DE-
CLAREs ITS sEMI-ANNUALl
Four Per Cent. on Its Capital Over
n Million, Making the Snug Sum
of Over Forty Thousand Dollars.
At their recent meeting the board

At their recent meeting the board
of directors of Zipn's Cooperative
Mercantile Institution declared the
usual seni-annual dividend of 4 per
cent. ON the capital stock of nearly one
million one hundred Thousand dollars.
This amounts to over forty thousand
dollars which VIII be distributed to the
stockholders on October Is.
The great institution has already
paid out over two million dollars in
dividends, and the October dividend
will be the fifty-fourth in its history.
A strong feature of its payments to
stockholders is that the April and
October dividends in each year are al
ways paid from the earnings of the
year previous; thus the coming dividend
in October was earned in 1895, and the
earnings of 1896 will not be paid out
till April and October 1897.

Eliinh Sells Answers.

Elijah Sells, one of the defendants
in the case of c. H. Jacobs and Frank
Knox, receivers of the Bank of Salt
Lake VS.. The Dalton & Lark Mining
company ct al, yesterday filed his an
swer in the Third district court.
All the material allegations in the
complaint are denied and it Is averred
that upon receiving the information
both from Harvey NJ. Bacon and James
H. Bacon, that his debt had been Sc
cured he accepted the same and claimed
under it and has ever since and does
now claim the benefits of the same
also that he accepted the security with
out any intention on his part to hinder,
delay or defraud the creditors of the
Bacons and with the sole and only pur-
pose of securing the debt justly due
him. and the defendant contends that
the making and delivery of the assign
ment of security to him and his accept
ance thereof was proper and the same is
valid
