and Oh the platform 100 feet below is
the tank into which he dives He is
man OF most perfect physique and
weighs 1S7 pounds His movements
are the most graceful imaginable, and
when he strikes the water with a force
or about 10000 pounds he splashes
spray in every direction and literally
floods the platform for 20 feet around
the tank. Speedy has been diving
nearly all his life and he says he be-
gan II when he was a small boy in
JeHerson City, Mo, when he was
chased one day by his father, who
wanted to punish him for something
he had dcne. His father pursued him
TO the river and expected to catch him
there, as there was q bank IS feet
about the stream, but the boy had
visions of birch rod coming in vio-
lent contact with his anatomy, so he
kept on going and plunged into the
river from the 75-foot e4nbankment.
His father was so delighted 10 find him
come to the surface in safety that the
punishment was never administered,
and ever since then the young man
has been giving diving exhibitions all
over the country. he is possessed OF
wonderful nerve and undertakes his
daring jumps through loo feet Of space
apparently without the slightest fear
He has met with some accidents dur
Ing MS career, the most serious one
being at New Orleans a year or two
ago, when he made a dive while a high
wind was blowing, and he was blown
several feet out of his course and
struck the ground with terrific force.
AS he expressed it last night, he was
kept in plaster of paris for six months
Speedy's exhibition lasts only about
a second and a quarter, but it is very
thrilling while it continues.
Phillion's exhibition consumes more
time and it is a most wonderful feat
He first ascends the spiral tower on his
revolving globe and then descends a
few feet and goes out upon a narrow
few inches wide, where
a misstep of quarter of an inch
would hurl him to the ground, 80 feet
below. He then returns to the tower,
and after going back and forth once
or twice, finally descends amid
shower of fireworks. Phillion has
been giving this performance for about
seven years and he also has met with
some accidents. He tried for several
years to induce some manager to en-
ter into his plans and provide him
with a tower, but they all declared
that the feat was one impossible to
accomplish and they would have moth
ing to do with him. Finally he was
obliged to provide the apparatus him
self and ever since then he has been
giving exhibitions constantly. He and
Speedy will form the greatest and
most expensive attraction that has
ever been offered by the Saltair man
agement.

SUPREME COURT.
Reversal in Victor Mining Company
VS.. Bank of the Republic.

The state supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion in the case of
the Victor Gold & Silver Mining company
vs.. the National Bank of the Republic,
in which the Judgment of the court be-
low is reversed and a new trial ordered.
It appears from the pieadings and find
ing that the plaintiff was the owner of
four mining claims in the Tfnhic district,
and that by virtue of an execution issued
upon a judgment against IL in favor of
Tucker K Wallace, the claims were sold
10 I. A CiawSon, and that afterwards
]. NJ. Wheeler, G.. W. Parks and c. D. R.
Thompson obtained judgment against the
Plaintiff for SS05.25 and in aid of an exc
cufion issued thereon they filed a bill to
set aside the deed and sale TO ClawSon,
on the ground that the money paid by
hfm was furnished by the plaintiff and
that the sale and deed were made TO
Clawson to prevent the creditors of the
piainG.ff from collecting their debts. A
default was entered and the deed and
sale were set aside, and the property was
held to belong TO the plaintiff, the min
ing company, subject 10 the executions.
The executions We're levied upon them
as plaintiff S property, and upon the sale
Frank Knox became the purchaser for

The court below found the title TO the
property in the defendant and decreed
that the title of the bank should be
quoted. and granted a writ of posses

failed to make any sufficient finding upon
the facts.
The opinion was delivered by Chief Jus

The Phvsiologv of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting or
gan in the human body, and the bile
which it secretes is more liable to Vita
ton and misdirection from its proper
channels than any other animal fluids.
Luckily for the bilious, however, there
is an unfailing source of relief from
liver complaint, namely Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a. medicine which for
about half of a century has been
achieving thorough cures of the above
mentioned ailments. fever and ague,
dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic
and kidney affection, and disorders in
volving loss of nervous vigor. 1t is,
moreover. a preventive of malarial dis
ease, and affords protection to thou
sands of persons residing in districts
of country where that dire scourge is
prevalent. AS remedy adapted to the
medicinal requirements of families, it
is supremely desirable, and as means
of fortifying debilitated system, ii is
thoroughly to be depended upon.

SPEEDY AND PHILLIoN.
A Great Show at Beautiful Saltair
Last Evening.

The Salt Lake & Los Angeles Rail-
road company has secured two at
fractions for Saltair which should
draw a great amount OF patronage.
K. P. Speedy, the champion high diver,
and Achille Phillion, the great equili-
brist and spiral tower performer, open
a two weeks engagement at Saltair
tomorrow. They will give two exhibit
tions daily, one at p. m. and the
other at 9 p. m. They gave a special
press performance last evening. which
was witnessed by a large number of
people, and the exhibitions were Won
derful. Every person in the city
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to see them, and there will
doubtless be large crowds at this re-
sort during the next two weeks.
Speedy dives from a platform 100 feet
high into a tank of water about Is feet
long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet deep, ard
PhilliOn makes an ascent and descent
of a spiral tower nearly 40 feet nigh
on a wooden globe IS inches in diane

In the case of H. a. Heath VS.. Salt
Lake City. Judge Cherry yesterday de-
livered Judgment. finding the issues for
the defendant, and the plaintiff was
given 60 days in which to prepare and
serve bill of exceptions and statement on
motion for new trial.
The action was brought by the plain
tiff 10 recover S5,720 alleged to be due for
wages for himself and seven others.
which latter claims We're assigned TO the
plaintiff The plaintiff alleged that ne
and the others were wrongfully dismissed.
The case was tried by the court with
out a jury on an agreed statement OF
facts. rhe city council passed an ordi-
nance reducing the police force from -
TO Il men, and in order to carry the ordi-
nance into effect. eight men were dis
missed 81 the chief OF police, and they
now make the claim in this suit, which
they commenced eight months after they
were discharged.
The court held that the city council has
power TO reduce or increase the police
force as it sees lit and as the public good
or eXigencies of the occasion demand.
In this case the opinion says that: No
attempt has ever been made 10 have the
persons named in the complaint restored
to their positions either by certiorori, quo
warrantO or mandamuS proceedings, but
without establishing their right to be re-
stored to their positions they have
brought this action to recover for uE-
dered, which we think they cannot do. II
it be held that they may recover for the
eight months. time which elapsed be-
tween their suspension and the beginning
Of this action, there is no apparent END
TO the right to recover-noth thing but death
of the parties win terminate the right 10
sue. Since the bringing of this action,
over SIS 600 would have accrued to these
same parties if their contention be cor
rect. Public policy demands that a city
or state should not be embarrassed in the
free exercise Of its functions by being
compelled 10 maintain a useless, unnec-
essary and expensive official position.
Economy in public affairs is a duty
municipality owes the public and as the
good faith OF the city council in the re-
duction of the police force of Salt Lake
City on Sept. l, 1884, is not in any way
called in question. il must be presumed
that they acted in the interest of the
public service and for the public good. 1t
therefore follows that the plaintiff has
no cause of action against the city, c1ld
judgment will be entered for the defend
ant
