VERDICT AGAINST SHORT LINE.
81. C. Hadlock Awarded 5000 Dam
ages-Kaysville Case.

Pennington, April 2S.-The damage
case of H c. Hadlock against the
Oregon Short Line Railway company
went to the jury at u o'clock today,
after arguments by Attorney George
Sutherland for the company and by
David Evans and A. B. Hayes for the
plaintiff. At Ais a verdict was re-
turned awarding the plaintiff $500 dam
ages. He sued for SO, 600 for personal
injuries.
The case of Kaysville City against E.
2. Ellison was tried this afternoon
without a jury. The defendant in this
action resists the payment of city Ii
censes, on the ground that his place of
business in Layton does not come
within the jurisdiction of the city Of
ficials, though it is within the original
corporate limits. A stipulation of facts
was agreed upon covering the impor-
tant points in the case, and testimony
was introduced by the defense to prove
that the city for ten years had not
exercised jurisdiction ever Layton. Ar
guments will be made at a future time
The case will be carried to the state
supreme court in order to have powers
of municipal corporations definitely de-
termined.
Kaysville City VS.. Rufus Adams, a
similar case, was submitted on the
same facts.
Court adjourned for the term.

JUST CLEARED 1T.

Captain Cook looks over the port side
of the bridge and then says: Full

There is a clang of bells, a shiver as
the wheels turn, and then the cruiser

slides rapidly clear of the Massachu-
sets with barely a hard to spare.
"Cleverly done,' says Commodore
Schley as he goes down to breakfast.
Clever seamanship, perfect discipline
and cool headed judgment had averted
a disaster
This ship obeyed her engines per-
fectly." said Captain Cook modestly,
after he had anchored further out.
The storm continued without abate-
ment all day, and the patrol boats that
keep the harbor closed had a rough
rights work. This morning there was
little abatement of the gale.

PASSING THE HAT FOR SPAIN.
Abuse of Privilege For the British
Commons to Consider.

London, April 2S.-The Spanish am
bassador, Count Won Rascon. and
Countess de Casa Valencia, wife Of the
former Spanish ambassador here, have
opened funds in connection with the
war between Spain and the United
States. The fund of the countess, how
ever, is only intended for relief of the
sick and wounded, but the subscriptions
being collected by the Spanish ambas-
sador are towards the national fund
being raised by Spain to increase the
strength of the Spanish fleet. This is
regarded as a serious abuse of diplO-
matte privilege, and therefore questions
on the subject are promised in the
house of commons.

ATLANTIC STORMS.
Scenes Off the Jersey Coast Are
WeirdlY Grand.

Cape May, April 2S.-The> severe
northeaster which began yesterday de-
veloped into the worst storm on the
south Jersey coast since last October.
The wind maintained velocity of 40
miles an hour. The rainfall has been
one and eight-tenths inches for the II
hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning,
the heaviest for years. Three inches
of snow fell about l o'clock this morn
ing, followed by hail and rain. The
tides are beating fiercely on the beach,
and will probably damage the railway

SHOCKING MASSACRE.
Fifteen Persons Murdered By Chinese
Robbers

Vancouver, B. c., April 2S.-Oriental
advices received by steamer tell of a
shocking massacre which occurred early
on the morning of March 81 at ham
let some 20 miles south of Taipeh, at
the house of one Yang Kin Shang. 1t
would appear, according to the infor-
nation of one of the unfortunate fami-
ly's neighbors. that a party of over 20
robbers entered the house and muir
dered Yang, his wife, his mother and
children and servants, Is persons in all,
who resisted them in their attempt to
loot the house and attack the daugh-
ters When the raiders had butchered
all the inmates, they set the house on
fire.

WAR AND MILLINERY.
Like Effect On Wine Trade, Sugar,
Tobacco and Cigars.

New York, April 2S.-One effect of the
war that is looked for by the custom
authorities at this port is the stop
ping of the importation of straw goods
from Manila and of millinery goods
generally from other Spanish ports.
Fortunately for the importers of Man
liza straw goods, the impo~tations or
dered for the spring and summer trade
are about all here.
The tenth division of the appraisers
department, it is expected, will feel the
effects of the war more than any other
division, inasmuch as all of the i'm
portations of sugars, cigars, tobacco,
liquors, fruits, nuts and oils are
handled by this division. Ordinarily,
large quantities of Spanish liquors and
fruits pass through this division, and
importers of such merchandise do not
expect that any shipments will be made
to United States ports until peace is
declared. OF course, all importations of
Cuban tobacco, cigars and sugars are
stopped.

BRIGHAM NOTES.
Steps Taken to Increase the City's
Water Supply.

Brigham City, April 2S-A commit
tee from the city council went with the
superintendent of waterworkS this
morning to the springs from which the
supply of water for the city reservoir
is derived. They report that the water
in the springs is unusually low for this
time of the year, as low as in July
other years. They hope by digging the
spring out the supply can be increased.
The surplus water from Box Elder
creek is now all down and every bit is
taken out by the irrigating bitches.
The friends Of S. ]. Caldwell were
surprised to see his name in print as
having enlisted at Salt Lake City.
Since the announcement has been post
ed that an enlisting officer will be here
Monday, many of the young men are
thinking seriously what they shall do
about it.

CHICAGO GRAIN REVIEW.
Liverpool Advance Caused a Bullish
Feeling-Closed Higher.


Chicago, April 28.-Traders in wheat had
an exciting time during the first hour
today on account of the violent advance at
Liverpool, but there was an evident indls
position on the part of many to allow eX-
element abroad to unhinge their own
preston prevailed among traders that
foreigners were becoming hySterical over
the supposition that Spain may Interfere
with the export movement of American
products. But another portion of the
trade interprets the wild advance abroad
to the sudden discovery by foreigners that
there IS not enough wheat ana -four avail
able anywhere to keep them supplied I'M
til the next harvest. The reasoning OF
these two factions is what caused the
market to fiuctuate violently until the
vance of SQ1014 cents for the July and
May at Liverpool and smaller rises at
Paris and Antwerp were said to be the
result of American covering, but eX-
porters sold several cargoes of northern

fish millers were bidding excitedly for
wheat.

Farmers Fear a Drouth.

Pennington, April 2S.-Grave fears
are expressed by farmers that the pro-

grain and other crops throughout Da-
Wis county. Up to a week ago the
prospects were good for an unusually
large yield of wheat, barley and hay,
but the hot weather is playing havoc
with those tcrops, and, besides, it is
fast reducing the supply of snow in the
mountains, on which irrigators depend
for water to mature their grain. A
rain is anyiouslY looked for.

DRAGGED ITS ANCHOR.

The heavy draft of the big war YES
sells made it impossible for them to get
in smooth water and they had to stand
the brunt of the storm. Towards morn
ing it increased in violence, and as the
tide turned the flood, the lookout on
the forward bridge of the flagship an
nounced that the ship was dragging its
anchor. The officer of the deck stimuli
taneously. reported that the Brooklyn
was getting in dangerous proximity to
the battleship Massachusetts, Captain
Cook and Executive Officer Mason went
to the bridge Immediately and ordered
the second anchor down. At this time
the wind was blowing so fiercely that
the men could hardly keep their feet
on deck. The second anchor ran about
20 fathoms of chain and stuck, and the
mig ship stopped ard for a short time
breasted bravely the wind and the tide.
But in a few minutes she began to go
back slowly and it was evident that
there was no hold for the anchors. The
signal was Immediately given to pre-
pare to get under way and in the mean
time it was hoped that the anchors
would catch and hold.
AWAITING DISASTER.
Faster and faster she went back, her
big broadsides swinging towards the
dangerous ram on the prov of the
led to pay out her cable and drop away,
and she did so. In the meantime on the
Brooklyn the men in charge of the for
ward compartments went to their sta
tions, closing the water tight compart-
mentS and preparing without any out
ward sign of excitement for the ex-
pected collision. The Massachusetts,
cleared away her booms and prepared
for the collision, not daring to slip the
anchor for fear of running herself on
the sand bar in close proximity, or driv-
ing into the Texas.
Faster and faster went the Brooklyn
towards the battleship, and the men at
the stations on both vessels stood I'M
hinchingly, ready to perform the spec
ial duty assigned to them in case of
collision.
NO CONFUSION.
There was no confusion On the
bridge with cool heads, sharp eyes and
active brains, were Captain Cook and
his executive officers, while on the af-
ter bridge, not interfering with the
management of the officers of the ship
stood Commodore Schley and his lieu
tenant, Sears, watching with as little
excitement as they watch a practice
cruise, the big ships coming together.
A conflict of orders would have meant
disaster but there was none. One or
der from the captain and one of the big
anchors comes rafting up and the ship
drifts on a little faster towards it's evil
dent fate. Then, il obedience to the
helm, the stern, now almost scraping
the Massachusetts bow, swings out
and the head, partly controlled by the
anchor, swings in as if to take the
blow.
1t is within a few yards of the huge
battleship and all are awaiting the
crash.
JUST CLEARED 1T.
Captain Cook looks over the port side
of the bridge and then says: Full
speed astern."
There is a clang of bells, a SILVER as
the wheels turn, and then the cruiser
