Ogden, Dec. S.-Daylight yesterday
morning showed Ogden very much dis
heveled in appearance. The havoc
wrought by the storm was fully as
great as foreshadowed in the partial
report of the storms ravages appearing
in yesterdays Herald, BY rare good
fortune no serious casualties appear to
have occurred, and the loss to property
is more equally distributed than was
the case in the great wind storm of
1896, when the Kiesel warehouse col
lapsed and was burned. The premises
of A. b. Hayes, near the south end of
the Washington avenue car line, were
damaged to the extent of $780, The
barn and windows were wrecked and a
buggy broken. Mr. Hayes was endeav-
orfng to drive to the city when the wind
caught the vehicle and spun it over and
over several times. Later Mr.. Hayes
attempted the journey afoot, street car
traffic having been suspended, and was
roughly used by the wind, which SEEM
ed to be exceptionally severe in that
portion of the city.
A chimney of the Sacred Heart Acad-
envy blew down, carrying the gable end
of the structure with it, and scattering
bricks and mortar about the floors. The
ice house of Bal1antyne & McCune, a
big structure, 60x80 feet, was reduced
to a heap of kindling wood.

shivered In Basement.

A great deal of damage was done to
the building of the state industrial
school. In the middle of the night,
the superintendent became alarmed for
the safety of the inmates, and they
were removed from the dormitory to
the basement, where they spent a very
uncomfortable night, and in great fear
that the building would collapse
A strange thing happened on the
Short Line, between here and Salt
Lake. A freight train had an empty
box car between two loaded cars. The
wind caught the box car and whirled
1t off the track and cleared the right
of way, 50 that by coupling the two
coal cars together, the train proceeded
with very little delay.
The storm was at it's height Just as
the performance of 1892" was over, and
as the crowds left the opera house
they caught the full force of it. Hats
were blown off by the score. and went

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW CASE
L. A. COPELAND ACQUITTED IN
JUSTICE MINISTERS COURT.
Sampling Mill Is An Entirely Differ
Smelter-An Important Ruling.

L. A. Copeland was acquitted before
Justice McMaster yesterday on the
charge of violating the eight-hour law
He was employed by the Taylor &
Brunton samp1ing works, known as the
"Pallas," at Murray. The defense was
made that the eight-hour law does not
include sampling mills. The law reads
as follows:
THE period of employment of work
ingmen in all underground mines or
workings, and in smelters and all other
institutions for the reduction or refin-
ing of ores or metals, shall be eight
hours per day, except in cases of emer-
gency, where life or property is in i'm
minent danger
R. c. Chambers and Mr.. James testi-
fed that a. sampling mill is an entirely
different establishment from a smelter,
and is not used for the reduction or re-
fining of ores or metals Justice Nc
Master decided that the statute does
not cover samples, and the defendant
was discharged.

Blizzard In Texas.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 9.-Texas was biz
zard-swept last night and today. All
kinds of weather, rain, hail, sleet, snow
and driving wind, have prevailed. The
snowfall in western Texas and the Pan
handle district is very heavy and traf-
fic has been delayed or stopped. Four
teen inches are reported from some
places in the Panhandle, while in
northern, eastern and central Texas the
fall is about four inches.
All unpieked cotton will suffer great
ly, but the snow almost assures a fine
wheat crop, of which cereal there is a
largely increased acreage. Tonight it
is clear and cold, the temperature hav-
ing fallen several degrees since morn
ing. 1t is the earliest blizzard in Texas
for a number of years. No losses of
live stock have yet been reported.
Reports from the Indian Territory
say the storm in that section was very
severe.

Before Judge Rolapp.

Owing to the absence of Judge Hiles
from the city, the case of Mcintyre VS..
the Ajax Mining company was not
taken UP yesterday, but was continued
until the 18th. Judge Rolapp sat in
Judge Hiles' court yesterday and heard
the testimony in the case of Whitney
VS.. AIGloy, involving the possession OF
lots IL and II. in Dundee Place. De-
PENDANT claimed possession on the
grounds Of foreclosure on a mechanics
lien. He set up at the trial that Whit
ney disclaimed possession at the time
of the hearing of the case. This was adj
lnitted by Whitney, who averred he
did 50 in order to be saved the annoy

all last night. 1t is providential that
such a furious gale has passed without
injury to any person.

MORE UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.
Divisions Will Be Reorganized On
January 1.
Especial to The Herald.


Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 9.-Another i'm
portant change will take place on the
Union Pacific on Jan. l. Today The
Herald's correspondent was informed
by one in authority that Suuerintend-
ent W. A. Deul Of the Denver Pacific
branch of the Union Pacific will be re-
heved, and this division, which extends
from Cheyenne to Denver, and includes
the extensive yards of the company
both at Denver and Boise City, will be
consolidated with the Wyoming divis-
ion, and placed under the supervision
of E. c. Harris, the young friend OF
President Burt, formerly suDerintend-
ent on the Elkhorn road, and recently
installed here as superintendent of the
Wyoming division. Mr.. Harris was
called to Omaha today, as was also Mr.
Deul, to consult with MIR. Burt. 1t is
further announced that the suDerin-
tendent'S offices in Denver will be
closed, and such of the force as is
needed transferred to Cheyenne. 1t is
the intention of the Union Pacific man
agement to concentrate the heads of
the operating departments of the big
system at these places, viz: Omaha.

A "eENT1E1EEN's0 MEETING.
Western Railway Officials to Discuss
Rates Next Tuesday.

heC6S NS8L 4u6SuaY.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago yesterday announced that the
meeting of traffic officials of western
roads will take place in Chicago next
Tuesday, when the rate war will come
up for consideration, and efforts made
to restore rates. The Herald announced
yesterday that such a move was on
foot. An effort was made to have the
meeting take place in Denver, but as
the rates are in the worst condition
east of the Missouri, Chicago was de-
cided upon for the convenience of the
transcontinental lines, which have their
headquarters in the east.
There is a good deal of speculation
INDUCED in as to the result of this
meeting. The situation requires radi-
cal measures, and many think a gen
tlemen's" agreement, if entered into,
will not prove effective. Should this
prove true, then a lively rate war may
be looked for.
1t is rumored the Southern Pacific
has made overtures to both the Rio
Grande Western and the Short Line to
join in the establishment of a deep. cut
to the Pacific coast, which, it is
thought, would have the same effect
as the low cut made last September.
However, no action in this direction is
looked for until after the "gentlemen's''
meeting at Chicago.

INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF
FROM ASTHMA
Has Been Afforded Many Sufferers
In Salt Lake City.

If there was doubt in the mind Of
any sufferer from asthma in this city
as to the truth of the claims made for
DR.. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure, that
doubt no longer remains, providing he
was among those who called at f. c.
Schramm's drug store last Tuesday;
and obtained a free sample package.
A great number who have already tried
the same declare in positive terms that
relief was immediate; that the wretch
ed spasms were checked that free ex-
Dectoration was induced: that a re-
Ginning position was readily assumed
and gratefully maintained; that the
sleep which followed was restful and
unbroken, and that the morning
brought a clear head and feeling of
delighted thankfulness which no words
are too strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials
prove that DR.. Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure not only gives instant relief in
the worst cases, but has positively
cured thousands who were considered
incurable. The remedy is now sold by
all druggists, in packages, at SOC and
$1.00, thus bringing it within the reach
of all Should any reader be unable
to obtain 1t of his druggist, it will be
sent, postpaid, by sending TO DR.. r.

WESTERNS GOOD SHOWING.
November Earnings Largest In His
tory of the Road.

The gross earnings of the Rio Grande
Western last month aggregated $336, 1892,
the heaviest since the road opened. The
net earnings were $133, 21S. This show
ing is another testimony to the eff
cheney of the management of this road.
The Western is now preparing to
place an order for some $50 coal and
box cars in order to meet the demands
of increasing traffic. Lately the road
has been extending its agencies
throughout the northwest, and more
business than can be taken care of with
the present equipment is the gratifying
results.
General Manager Dodge arrived in
the city yesterday and spent some time
in consultation with Traffic Manager
Babcock. He also inspected the new
shops in company with General Super
intendent Welby, who went down to
Helper TO meet him. The matter of
new equipment was gone over, and it
is expected the order will be placed be-
fore long.

GALE SWEPT THE WHOLE WEST
EXTENDED FROM PACIFIC COAST
TO NEBRASKA.
Blew Ninety-six Miles An Hour at
Point Reyes-Cold Weather In
Mountain States-Texas Blizzard.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-The storm
which ragged all over the Pacific coast
last night and today was one of the
most severe ever recorded by the wea-
Their bureau. 1t extended from the
northern border down to Texas and
from the Pacific as far east as Nebras-
lza. In this city the wind attained d
velocity of 40 miles an hour, but at
Point Reyes, right in the teeth CT the
gale, the wind swept along at sc miles
an hour.
Considering the great velocity of the
wind, the damage done to shipping was
very slight and $4,000 will pay for
everything, including the charges of
tow boat men for extricating vessels
from dangerous positions.
