cARRINGToN's IMPRISONMENT.
Box Elder Notified That It Must Foot
the Bill.

Logan, April BIN the Darlington
trial yesterday a rather ticklish ques-
ton came up in regard to the payment
of the expenses for keeping Darlington
during his term of imprisonment The
law requires that Darlington be con-
fined here, and the Box Elder repre-
sentatives displayed a very unfair de-
sire to have Cache county put up all
the expenses of Carrington's confine-
ment.
County Attorney Nebeker entered
positive protest against any such pro-
ceedings, and Judge Hart alluded very
forcibly to the unfairness of the prop
osition, and stated that he would not
have accepted Carrington's plea had re
known that Box Elder was unwilling
n reimburse Cache. Attorney Zane
said he didn't want his client lmprls-
oned i'm Brigham City. as the jail there
is the vilest den outside of Cuba. Judge
Hart in imposing sentence. however
served notice on the prosecuting attor-
nev of Box Elder that the expense
must oe borne by his county

THE CITY VS.. GRosHELL.
Judge Norrell Decides the City Can
License Ticket Brokers

Judge Norrell yesterday rendered his
decision in the case of Salt Lake City
VS.. Oscar Groshell, finding the issues
for the city.
The city charged Groshell with con-
Quoting the business of a ticket broker
without license from the municipal
ity, and sued to recover the amount
claimed, 500. The case was tried in a
justice court and judgment rendered
for the plaintiff, from which the de-
PENDANT appealed. and contended that
his business, that of ticket broker,
was interstate commerce, and that the
city had no power to impose a license or
a tax on any busine - carried on under
the interstate commerce law.
Judge NorrelI held that GroshelPs
business had nothing to do with inter-
state commerce, and that the city had
power to license the business of a
ticket broker. GroshelPs testimony
showed that he did a business of $4,000
a year. and his honor thought that a
tax of 800 on that amount was not I'M
reasonable.

FARMINGToN's BOY SOLDIERS.
National Guard Order May Force
Company E to Disband.

Pennington. April f3.-Word comes
from Bountiful that there is strong
probability that the national guard or
der recently promulgated will have the
effect of disbanding the Bountiful COM
panv. There is said to be number
of young men in the company under q
wears of age whose parents were not
willing to have the boys enlist and
hence a disruption of the organization

Salt Lake City Sued.

Alma Pratt has filed an action
against Salt Lake City to regain the
possession of a Griffin road machine or
it's value, $3.50.
The plaintiff alleges that on Jan. l,
1890. he owned and was in possession of
the machine. and that on Jan. 30 of the
same year, by reason of i'll health and
anxiety, he became incompetent to at
tend to his business affairs, and was
committed to the insane asylum, where
he remained until April IL. 1895. B. W.
briggs, jr., had possession of the ma
chine as agent for the plaintiff, and it is
alleged that in May or June, 1890, the
defendant took the machine without
the consent of plaintiff or his agent,
and has never returned it.

A SHATTERED IDOL.
People of Coalville Have Gone Back
On Mckinley.

Coalville. April 12.-With few excep-
tons. the people here were disappointed
with the presidents message. Even
many of McKinley's most ardent adj
mirers (and he had 107 out of 523 reg
istered voters here on the day he was
elected) not only looked and felt cha
grined, but even expressed their I'M
qualified disappointment in their idol,
and sore dissatisfaction in his evasive
message to congress. Some called him
cowardly. while others applied cpl
thets far less tender in their denun-
citation of him, and declared that he
would not be in it at all in 1900. Com
ments made upon Consul General Lee
and his loyal actions, lauded him to
the skies, and had his route to the
national capital been via Coalville, a
reception and demonstration would
have been accorded him here equal to
any in Georgia.

BELIEF IN WAR.


The Spanish per cent bonds were with
out support at any of the European cen
ters, and the heavy tone OF Americans
helped the growing belief in war The
early weakness on the local exchange was
due in great part 10 liquidation of foreign
account in American securities Sales or
all the international stocks for London ac-
count were more urgent than at any time
since the Cuban question has been at is
sue. There was not such added pressure
of local liquidation in the early trading
1t is not improbable that the large selling
for London account was influenced Dy the
money markets condition in London.
The open market rate for call money
there has been raised to about the bank
also risen to 3ls per cent. compared with
the hank rate of 4 per cent. and money
hardened appreciably in Paris today.
FOUR PER CENT.
With call money in the local market re-
spending with a rise of per cent, there is
no diminution in the pressure in foreign
centerS for gold to ship to New York 1t
is the expectation in Wall street that the
Bank of England will raise the rate of its
discount 10 6 per cent should war be de-
clared between the United States and
Spain.
With large stocks of exchange in New
York still to be drawn upon this condition
of affairs might easily have been the i'm
pelling cause for London selling of Amer
lean securities in an effort 10 ameliorate
the exchange condition. There were some
very heavy holdings thrown over in the
final dealings today. and no confident
support was manifest anywhere in the
list.
