held here Wednesday, and fusion was
accomplished by compromise. The
middle of-the.road element of the Pop.
ulist party, led by Ignatius Donnelly,
bolted, and will hold another conven.
tion. A committee Of seven from each
convention to act in joint conference
was appointed without trouble by both
the Democrats and Silver Republicans,
but with the Populists the friction was
great, and nearly the entire day was
consumed in discussing fusion, the anti.
fusionists threatening to leave the hall.
During this discussion Sidney M. Owen
administered to Ignatius Donnelly one
of the most scathing arraignments
that was ever given to a man in public
life. He accused him Of being a
Traitor to the Peoples Party
for money consideration and called
him villain and monster. The wild.
est excitement prevailed.
Both the Democrats and the Silver
Republicans endorsed the Chicago
platform and the candidacy o! w: j.

Republicans also endorsed the initia.

MATRIMONIAL MUDDLE.
Two Women Each Claiming to Be the
Wife of Elbridge Tufts.

The trial Of the case of Jennie Tufts
ct al against e. b. Wicket ct al. was
begun before Judge NorreIl yesterday
with Judge Powers appearing for the
plaintiffs and ex-senator Arthur Brown
for the defendants.
The suit was quite complicated and
arose out IF the matrimonial relations
of the parties dating back for mary
years.
1t appeared that in 1869 Elbridge
Tufts married the defendant, then
Eleanor Brinker, now called Eleanor
3. Wicket, and about a year after they
separated after obtaining a church di-
vorce. Tufts then married two other
women. both of whom died and The
first wife of Tufts married John Wicket
and in 1888 Tufts married this plaintiff
In 1891 Mrs. Wicket. the original wife
of Tufts discovered that the church di-
vorce by virtue of which she was separ-
ated from Tufts was illegal and of
none effect in law, whereUpOn she left
Wicket and commenced an action for
divorce and alimOny from Elbridge
Tufts. This action was pending when
Eibridge Tufts died and Mrs. Wicket,
claiming TO be his legal widow. filed
her petition in the probate court ask
ing that she be appointed administra-
trix Of his estate.
Jennie Tufts, claiming to be the
widow of Elbridge Tufts, the deceased.
began the present suit to prevent the
appointment Of Mys. Wicket as adj
ministratriX and to quiet her title 10
certain property, which Mrs. Wicket
claimed Mrs. Tufts. that is this plain
tiff, also claimed the property under a
Need executed to her by Tufts, alleging
that as consideration she had given
him mo1soy left her by her first hus-
band and that the property was con-
veyed 10 her in payment of the indebt-
edness.
The hearing was in progress when
court ;sdjourned until today, when the
arguments will be made.
There is another suit pending in
which George r. Norton seeks to re-
cover from Jennie Tufts ct al. $4,000
secured by a mortgage on the prop
erty.

BANKING AND CURRENCY.
Turbulent Committee Session Over
Pending Propositions.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The house COM
mittee on banking and currency held
turbulent session today over the
lending propositions for currency re-
vision. Early in the meeting Mr.. John
son (Rep. Ind, had heated colloquy
with Chairman Walker, in the course
of which Mr.. Johnson declared that
the chairman was pursuing a ''rule or
ruin policy as to the line of currency
action which the committee should
take. Mr.. Walker resented this, saying
he would regard Mr.. Johnson's course
as personal if persisted in.
Later Mr.. Hill of Connecticut moved
to take up the measure embodying the
presidents recommendations as TO
three specific changes in the banking
laws. This addition met with warm
opposition from Mr.. Johnson, who said
that action of this limited character
would be antagOnistic TO the larger
measures of currency revision now
pending before the committee In
vehement tones he questioned the good
faith of those who were urging a
limited measure of revision, saying that
they were too much concerned in the
annexation of Hawaii to give sincere
support to the full accomplishment of
financial reform.
With much feeling and emphasis, Mr.
president had not earnestly urged the
fullest measure of currency revision,
instead of the limited plan now brought
before the committee. Owing to the
feeling aroused on the subjecE final
action was not taken on the motion to
proceed with the presidents recon-
mendation, and the Republican mem
bers determined to take up this and
other subjects later in the day when
the Democrats were present. Without
opposition, the committee decided TO
report favorably, Representative Cox's
bill to promote the safety Of national
banks. The essential feature of the
measure is a restriction on bank Of
ficers from borrowing the funds of the
bank. Violation of the provisions is
made misdemeanor, subject TO fine or
Imprisonment.
AT the caucus of Republican members
of the committee during the afternoon,
1t was agreed to go over the several
bills before the committee with view
to agreeing on the general principles of
measure to be reported.

BITS ABOUT BILLIARDS.

Losses by the storm TO the smaller fish
ing crafts of Gloucester and vicinity is
particularly heavy.
Connecticut is practically recovered
from the storm. The state felt the effects
of the storm but slightly.
A feature of the storm was the large
pumber OF fires in Boston and surround
ing towns while it was at its height.
The greater part of Rhode Island is
stiu storm-bound. with practically no
wire communication with any place out
side of Providence.
Storms are prevailing throughout Great
Britain and railroad trains have been
greatly delayed. Severe gales have swept
the coast and worse weather is predicted
for tonight, with severe cold.
At the New York hospital, as result
of the blizzard, there are many cases of
frozen feet. fingers and limbs. and the
surgeons are kept busy fixing up bones
broken by falling on the slippery streets.
Atmospheric disturbances are reported
on the European continent from Berlin

TYRANNY OF THE ARMY.
The Conduct of Some Officers Is Be
coming Unbearable.

Springfield Union: Uncle Sam had bet
ter turn his attention to the army and
eliminate some of the snobbishness and
exclusiveness that pervades our military
system. Army officers, as a class, are of
the opinion that the earth was made for
their exclusive use, and woe to the soldier
who crosses their path either in the line
of duty or unthinlxingly. 1t has reached
a point now where a superior officer in
the United States army is like the king
he can do no harm. and no matter what
his sins. he must be forgiven. Only a few
weeks ago the country was scandalized
from one end to the other by the trial of
Captain Lowering of Fort Sheridan for
brutality TO a soldier in his command, but
it was supposed that the incident was
closed. However, it appears that the
sore spot still exists. A day or two ago
a sergeant who testified against the cap
tain when called upon was reduced to the
ranks, and now a private has been dis
charged for the same reason. What are
we building up in our army system2 Is
it to be a species of prison, with the Off
GERS for keepers and the soldiers for pris-
oners? Has it come to a pass where the
private soldier must sacrifice his rights
as a freeman to satisfy the petty spite of
his superior officer? If captains are to be-
come. despots over the men who are serv-
il their country quite as we'll as they
Il en- il is time that the army of the
u, tied States should either be abolished
or subjected to more humane rules.

The case of H L. Driver ct al
against the Salt Lake & ogden Gas &
Electric Light company reached The
jury at noon yesterday and about
o'clock in the afternoon they returned
a unanimous verdict for the plaintiff
for 81, 625.26 and S47O.17 interest on the
first cause of action and sS,2S9.9S on the
second cause of action, total $1l 3S5.1.
The first cause of action was TO re-
cover S3,709.31, balance of an account
alleged TO be due for natural gas sold
and delivered
For the second cause of action it
was alleged that on Nov. 6, 1895, the
plaintiffs and the defendant entered
into a contract whereby the former
was to supply natural gas TO the latter
and that between Nov 4, 1895, and Nov.
], 1886 the plaintiffs delivered to the
defendant, at the gas well and into
the main pipe line OF the defendant,
rs, SCI ,O93 cubic feet of gas and that the
defendant. in violation of the contract,
failed and neglected to keep its pipe
lines tight SO they would not leak; but,
on the contrary, permitted the pipes
TO become and remain OUT of repair
and loose at the joints and connections
and at other places, so that 4 large
quantity of the gas delivered by the
plalnuffs to the defendant, tO-Wlt;
1881. 09S cubic feet. escaped from the
pipes and was lost and the defendant
refuses to account to the plaintiff for
any part of the gas so wasted, to the
plaintiffs damage in the sum of So
420.44
In pursuance of the contract, it is al
legged, it was agreed by the parties that
the gas delivered by the plaintiffs was
to be sold to consumers at 80 cents per
thousand cubic feet.
Plaintiffs prayed for judgment for
S12,045.T0 on the two causes Of action
and for S2.625.26 interest

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 2.-Governor
Pingree took steps today toward bring
ing a suit to compel the Michigan Cen
trail to carry all passengers at cents
per mile. He demanded a ticket to
Ypsilanti at the legal 2-cent rate, and
then paid the full Scent fare under
protest. The suit already pending to
compel the Michigan Central to sell
1.00Omile tickets for $50 is not broad
enough for the governor. as the win
ming of it would benefit only those
who have $50 to pay for a mileage
book The second suit, he asserts, will
be for the benefit of the plain people,
who pay for just the ride they get. The
Michigan Central claims TO be exempt
under its special charter from obliga-
tons to carry passengers at a lower
rate. The governor contends that the
company's charter was amended by a
general railroad law passed in 1891.

THE SOUND MONEY LEAGUE
CONFERENCE OF ITS LEADERS
AT CHICAGO.
Lack of Currency to Meet Business
Requirements, They Say, Is the
Root of Silver Evil.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The executive
committee os the National Sound
Money League, organized in Chicago
soon after the last national election,
held a conference here today with some
of the state vice presidents of the
league. The meeting was without sig
nificance, and no announcements were
issued Among those present were
President George E. Leighton of St
Louis; NJ. E. Ingalls,, Cincinnati; John
X. Cowen, Baltimore; II. P. Robinson,
Chicago: Secretary E. V. Smalley, St.
Paul: W. c. Cornwell, Buffalo; W. A.
Blair, North Carolina; John b. Jackson,
Pittsburg, and w. II. Royal, Virginia.
a letter written by Ex-Governor Nor
rill OF Kansas was read, in which he
stated that the sound money sentiment
was rapidly gaining ground in his
state. and, in his judgment, would
carry If It were Invested of all other
issues. state or local.
Mr.. Royal said the people of Virginia
had been led into the silver. movement
by reason of the want of sufficient cur
rency to meet business requirements,
and that. should a better banking sys-
tenn be established by which the smaller
cities and towns could have banking IA
cilities, the people would have little in
teroat = silver.
The others expressed the same idea.
A proposition was made looking to a
consolidation with the Indianapolis
movement, but the sentiment
of the meeting was against it, on the
ground that the Indianapolis movement
had for its prime object reform in
banking legislation, while the League
more particularly advocated the gold
standard ~
The conference adjourned to meet in
Chicago some time in April.

CASUALTIES BY STORM.
Review of the Recent Blizzard Which
Swept New England.

Boston, Feb. "A score of persons were
drowned and 100000 loss inflicted by the
storm that swept eastern Massachusetts
and Rhode Island Monday night and
Tuesday morning. Four unidentified
bodies lie in the coroner's Office in CLIQUE
ester. Five more are in Lynn brought
over from Little Nahant where the
schooner Charles H. Briggs was wrecked.
Twelve unidentified corpses are reported
TO be at Bakers island, in Salem harbor
They, too. must have manned some of
the schooners which were lost in Glouces-
ter harbor.
That there are others in the waters
Of the bay seems almost certain. Wreck
age is strewn up and down the coast from
Cape Ann to Cape Cod Thirty schooners
were wrecked in Massachusetts bay. On
land the loss by the storm seems to have
been confined entirely to property.
Twenty-four hours elapsed before direct
Geographic communication was restored
between Boston and the rest of the world.
The electric car service in the vicinity
was restored by noon. but in most of the
smaller towns the trolley lines are still
crippled.
The cost of the storm in this city is es-
timated at s., 42S, 900.

NOMINAL DAMAGES.
For the Plaintiff In Valley VS.. the
Deseret National Bank.

Deseret National Bank.
Judge Cherry yesterday delivered
Judgment in the case of T. a. VALLEY
VS.. the Deseret National bank which
was tried and submitted some weeks
ago. His honor rendered judgment for
the plaintiff for 81 and costs of suit.
According to the complaint Valley
borrowed 81, 600 from the bank in 1892
payable in 1893. AS security he gave
two notes on John Beck for Sc 900. pay
able at the same time. Valley failed
to pay the $1,000 when it became due
and the bank sold the Beck notes in 1893
to James T. Little for $1,000 worth of
stock in the Pennington bank. Wal
leys note. bearing endorsement in ac-
cordance with the foregoing facts was
returned to him. In December of the
same year he rendered the bank 81, 900
and demanded the return of the Beck
notes. which demand was refused ana
suit was accordingly commenced for
their recovery. The case was tried be-
fore Judge Street in 1896 and judgment
was entered in Valleys favor for the
full value of the Beck notes. The case
was appealed TO the supreme court and
reversed and a new trial granted.
Judge Cherry's opinion says that two
points were raised for consideration:
first, was there a wrongful conversion?
Second, if there was, what was the
value of the notes at the date OF the
conversion?
In regard to the first his honor held
that the sale of the Beck notes was
merely a private sale or exchange and
the attempt to give it the appearance
of a public sale only makes the trans
action appear more suspicious. The
defendant was therefore guilty of a
wrongful conversion
On the second point his honor found
that at the time of the sale the Beck
notes had no market value and 81. 90
must De taken as their value and there
fore the plaintiff was only entitled to
nominal DANA yes
