All western roads have agreed to
make a rate of one fare plus 81 for the
round trip from all western territory,
including Utah, for the meeting of the
Good Roads and Public Improvements
association of Missouri, to be held at
st. Louis on the 21st to 23rd of this
month.
Work on the new addition to the Rio
Grande Western shops is progressing
very rapidly The brick walls are now
up about IA feet, and before the end
of the week the work of connecting the

its three years of existence, is said to

SUPREME COURT OPINIONS.
One Affirmation and One Reversal
Handed Down.

In addition to the opinion in the
policemen's case the supreme court
yesterday handed down two other
opinions, Croco VS.. the Oregon Short
Line, appellant, affirmed, and Miller
VS.. the Bullion-Beck & Champion Min
ing company, reversed, and a new
trial granted in the case of William
w. Croco VS.. the Oregon Short Line
Railroad company, appellant, the opin-
ion being written by Justice Miner and
concurred in by Chief Justice Zane and
Justice Bartch, and affirmed the judg-
ment of the district court. The plain
tiff in the lower court received a YER
dict and judgment for $4,000 for dam
ages for personal injuries sustained by
him on April 8, 1897, at Malad Bridge
Ida, he being at that time a. passen-
ger on one of the defendant company's
trains which was derailed.
The company appealed on the
grounds that the damages were excess
siye; that the court had erred in the
admission OF certain testimony at the
trial. and also erred in refusing to in
struct the jury that the plaintiff had
entered into an agreement with his at
torney, Mr.. David Evans, to pay him
40 per cent of whatever amount he
might recover.
The supreme court, in regard to those
points, found that 1.-The amount of
damages is a fact to be found by the
jury, and if there be any evidence to
support the verdict, the court is not
at liberty, under the constitution of this
state, to set it aside
The court further finds that the tes-
timony of plaintiff was competent I'M
der the claim of counsel and also I'M
der the complaint filed.
AS to. the agreement entered into be-
tween plaintiff and his attorney, the
court finds that under the provisions of
section 1858, compiled laws of Utah,
sit was competent for attorney and
client to agree that the attorneys
compensation should be contingent
upon success and payable by percent
age or otherwise cut of the proceeds
of the litigation. 1t was not compe-
tent for the attorney, in consideration
thereof, to agree to pay the fees and
suit thereafter to be commenced, but
one who was not a. party to such con-
tract has no right to question its va
/ lidity.'
i The court is of the opinion that
Judge Rolapp properly refused to give
the Instructions requested by counsel
for the plaintiff company, and finding
no reversible error in the record, af-
/ firms the judgment.

WILL HAVE THE SALT PALACE
BUSINESS MEN so DECIDED AT A
MEETING YESTERDAY.
Committee Appointed to Formulate
Plans, Specifications and So Forth
May Be Completed By August L.

The salt palace will be erected. That
is a fact. Yesterdays meeting of the
business men so determined. A COM
mittee was appointed to test plan Of
building, the success of which, by ex-
perts, is claimed to be a foregone con-
clusion and so Salt Lake will see the
completion of the project by Aug. /,
1899, or possibly sooner.
Nothing is known yet as to where
the palace will be located nor as to just
how the money will be raised, these
matters will be discussed later. But
w. Clayton, A. w. McCune, M. z. Null
vey, D. f. Burley, S. V. Shelp and
Jacob Moritz behind the proposition,
there will be no falling through of the
plans contemplated.
Mr.. Shelp was chosen president at
| the meeting yesterday and Mr.. HintZ
secretary. Mr.. Clayton exhibited fine
specimen of crystalized salt and stated
that if necessary his company could
furnish 100000 tons of the product. His
plan for building the structure was to
erect a frame of woodwork, which it
| is estimated, would cost so. 000 and
spray it with salt water, allowing it
time to crystalize. 1t would be alto
| gether too expensive to make the build
ing entirely of salt, he thought, and this
was the general opinion.
Mr. Senior an expert on the question
| added some very valuable statements
but thought it was best to leave all
questions of the manner of construc-
ton until sufficient means had been
subscribed to insure success in the I'M
dertaking. He was convinced of the
feasibility Of the project and thought
| the question of finance would be the
only possible stumbling block. Some
discussion followed as to whether the
money should be raised by forming a
stock company or by popular subscrip-
ton, but nothing definite was arrived
4 at
| The various methods of construction
were widely discussed and the follow
/ ing committee appointed to test, by use
! of a. miniature structure, which will be
the most practical: Messrs Clayton
Kletting, Senior, Mulvey, Hintz and
Burley. The chairman will call another
meeting when this committee reports

Miller VS.. Rullion-Reck.

Justice Bartch wrote the opinion in
the case of julius Miller VS.. the Bull
lion-Beck & Champion Mining COM
pany, appellant, which reversed the
judgment of the lower court, award
ing the plaintiff $4,000 for damages for
personal injuries and granted a new
trial Chief Justice Zane and Justice
Miner concurred in the opinion.
The defendant contended that the
trial court erred in permitting counsel
for plaintiff to show that ]. w. Roundy,
foreman of the mine, was a drinking
man. The court finds that the accident
was not the result of any drinking hab-
it of Roundy and that he was in no
way connected with the occurrence.
Objection was also raised to Judge
Higgins instructions to the jury. The
court finds that q portion of the in
struction was erroneous in law and that
the charge of the court, as a whole,
was stated rather strongly against the
defendant

Officially Dead. Yet Alive.

An examination of the reports for the
past few months of the Twenty-fourth
infantry, now being made over by Ad-
jutant Leitch brings to notice sin
guIar incident which in one way is q
most happy one to record.
The name of Corporal (now SergeanO
Roberts of company B appears in the
July report among those killed on San
Juan hill; and, again. in the August
report, he is numbered with the living.
1t seems that he was fighting on that
eventful day. July 1, beside Lieutenant
Leitch. and was struck by Mauser
bullet in the hip. He threw up his
arms and fell forward, with the ex-
clamation. My God, I'm done!" Lieu
tenant Leitch witnessed the occurrence,
replied. Goodbye, corporal, and con-
tinued on the charge.
That day the officer reported Rob
erts' death. and he afterward was in
formed that the corporal was buried
beside Lieutenant Augustin. Imagine,
then, his great and agreeable surprise,
upon returning to Fort Douglas, to
meet and exchange greetings with the
corporal, who was buried beside Au-
gustin on San Juan hill"
