The following is from a letter written
to Elder p. G. Spencer, OF Salt Lake
county, formerly president Of the North
ern States mission. The writer is now
on mission. and dates his letter at New
England, Allegheny county, Pennsyl-
vania:
After you heard from us last can say,
that for while, we surely had the devil
to fight In all ways, but we did our duty
and God blessed us. After baptzing
FIVE in the county Of Butler, IT seemed as
though the people all turned against us.
We could not get any more houses to
sleep in; but we tasted and prayed, and
kept on till we had canvassed the
county. We then went to New Eng
land, Allegheny county, and found a few
old Saints We started to hold meet
ines, and God gave us a convincing
Spirit along with our words, and we have
been doing big work here for the last
month or more. We have held meeting
nearly every night-held twenty-eight
last month; ana since we left last TALL
conference and started to travel without
money, we have baptized thirty-three
honest souls into the fold. We blessed
twenty children, and have never had to
lay out night.
The people here have just made me
present of new suit OF clothes; also
have given money enough to ride on the
cars TO different points. f
We have nice branch organized here,
with Sunday school All seem willing
workers Most of them have left off
tea, coffee and tobacco, and are living as
near to the Gospel as they eau. Just
the other night we held meeting, and
the Spirit of God was poured out upon
us with such power, that one of the
brethren spoke in tongues. and another
one got up with power that shook the
house
can say that our success has been
through following out the instructions Of
those above MS, and lasting and prayer.
We are looking with pleasure for con-
terence, when we will meet all Of the
brethren again, and have another time
of rejoicing.

To the Editor:
Following is synopsis Of the north
etn West Virginia conference, held at
Big Run, Wetzel county, May 18th and
10 Ii. Big Run is situated about ten
miles southwest OF Littleton. There
are no members living at the place, yet
it was filled with many warm friends,

smiling faces. On account Of tue dis
lance from the railway, all the Elders

appropriate 10 the occasion. Elder

which Elder Kesler spoke upon the
principles of the Gospel generally.
In the evening the house was full.

Truth By request we took part in ths

I'm our lovely Deseret."

O'Clock, the house being crowded with
people who seemed to be greatly inter-
ested in our meetings Elder Bindrup
spoke at some length, showing the ne
cessity Of entering in at The ''strait
gate;" and Elder Kesler making Jew
remarks
In the afternoon Elder Hoff spoke
upon the subject OF baptism; after which
Elder Kssler spoke upon the universal
apostasy from the primitive Christian
church, the necessity of the restoration,
the divine mission of Joseph Smith, and
the necessity of the Book OF Mormon,
to all OF which the people listened with
the most profound silence.
AT the evening nesting Elder Brown
treated the subject OF Divine authority.
Elder kelsch spoke upon the workings
OF The Spirit" and authority restored;

tended US. Conference was then close d
by singing I'VE thank thee, o, God for
a Prophet" with benediction by Elder

HoRsEMEN FIGHT IN FRISCO
Ed Purser and John quinn Come to Blows
About Horses.

San Francisco, May 4.-There was q
lively fight at the Baldwin hotel last
night between Edwin Purser and John
Quinn, the well-known horsemen. The
Quinn boys and several others were
arguing with Purser about what they
called the peculiar running" Of the
latter's horses, as well as those of Akin
and Lottridge. twas a battle OF words
for awhile, and then Quinn swung his
right on Purser's nose. In a moment
several others were mixed up in the
fight. The police stopped it before any
serious damage was done. Purser is
connected, in a way. with the Atkins
and Lottridge stable, owners Of Don
Clarenino and Manchester. 1t appears
that a few days ago Don Clarencio start
ed and was beaten. He had opened at
s to in the betting and his price reced-
ed to s TO 1. Bookmak.rs Beverly, Cole
man and Quinn believed that Don Car
encio had been pulled" Manchester
won on Wednesday. Jim Quinn bid the
horse $500 above his selling price. This
caused all the argument and the fight
ing. The Oakland stewards are now in
yestigatrg charges Of fraud.

Colorado Coal Miners Give Mine Superiu
tendent q Good Beating.

Louisville. Colo, May 14.-Four hun
dred coal miners marched over to the
Rex coal mine today. took Superintend-
ent-Hutchinson out Of the Office and gave
him severe beating. After this num-
Der Of hot heads proposed to wreck the
mines but better counsels prevailed and
the men were persuaded 10 go away.
The trouble arose over contract that
was let by the Rex people to twenty-five
miners to handle the output Of the mines.
These men agreed to sell coal 10 Den
yer wholesale dealers at 81 per ton. This
is cheaper than the coal can be put on
the cars by any other mine in the dis
trict. When the other miners heard of
this they became very much excited, and
a mob gathered on the hills near the
town. Then the assault was made on Mr..
Hutchinson.
There has been good deal Of trouble
in the camp ever since the first cut in
prices was made last winter. At pres
ent all is quiet, but 1t is feared thai
there will be more trouble unless the
Rex advances its prices.
