Refore Gas Came In.

In the early days of no sidewalks
people who were wont to take their
nightly outings carried their own
lanterns, and this custom was adhered
to until 1884. when gas was introduced
for street lighting. The old Latin
school was built near Kings chapel,
and later on was rebuilt on the site
now occupied by the Parker house. 1t
has always been thought that Robert
Newman hung out the lantern on
Christ church for Paul Revere, but
now it is believed that the deed was
performed by the latter's confidential
friend, John Pulley. The grassh op-
per weather vane on Faneuil hall,
built in l742, had its origin in the writ

Several weeks ago Mrs. Catherine
Cummings. wife of b. +. Cummings
Sr., Of the Twelfth ward, contracted a
cold and was seized with severe ill
ness which developed into bronchial
pneumonia. She suffered greatly and
when, last evening, death came to her

modified by thankfulness that at last
her pain was ended.
Deceased was the daughter of Ben
janin X. and Mehitable (Sawyer) Hail.
and was born in Letter b." township
oxford county, Maine, July o. 1895, and
was consequently in the G3rd year of
her age. She came to Utah with her
parents in 1850, the family settling near
Ogden. In 1852 she became the wife
of II. F.. Cummings ST., who at an ad-
vanced age survives her. She was the
mother of six children, four of whom
are living, namely: h. +. Cummings
Jr., of the Dessert News" Prof. Hor-
ace Cummings OF the Utah University,
Imogene, wife of c. l.. Angel of this
city, and George, her youngest child,
who is unmarried and living at home.
Deceased was member of the
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints from childhood, and died in full
faith of the Gospel and with conf
dent expectation OF resurrection with
the righteous. She possessed the conf
dence, esteem and affection of a very
large circle of relatives and friends.

STANDARDS DANCED IN GLEE.
The Occasion Was the blowing Up of the
Maine-Anti-Ame Feeling.

New York. Feb. 23.-Engineer AL
bert Holdsworth and Assistant Engi-
neer j. Laidrow OF the British ship
Ollvedent which has just arrived from
Havana say that on the night of the
explosion they, with some others, were
ashore, They Were sitting at the end
of a pier at the south end OF the harbor
and about a half mile from the Amer
lean warship. Next the pier was a ferry
slip and the course of the ferry-boat
from the city lay past the Maine.
When the explosion occurred u lot of
Spanish soldiers and sailors in q res
taurant at the head Of the pier cleared
out and ran as If for their lives. There
was no immediate blaze from the ex-
plosion, but there were smoke and
sparks.
Two or three minutes passed before
the flames could be seen. While they
stood watching some GREATNESS Span
iards hurried down the pier bearing
fragments of the Names payrolls.
They said they had picked them up
on hill back inthecountry from where
the Maine lay The Spaniards wanted
to Know what the writing In English
meant and the engineers after looking
at the papers, told them. through one
of their party who spoke Spanish.
The Spaniards fairly danced In glee
at the fate of the Maine. The engin-
Ger said, exclaiming: "Ah, American
os. Americanos. They bring dynamite
here to blow up the Spanlards and they
get II themselves
The Spaniards got excited then, and
suspecting that the engineers of the
Oliyedene We're Americans began to
menase them. but Holdsworth and
I.aidrow made 1t known that they were
Enrlishmen and the Spaniards cooled.
when the ferry came IL was found
that she had passed the Maine just be-
fore the explosion and Spanish army
officer aboard demanded that the cap
tain of the ferry boat should head
about and go 10 the rescue. The ferry
captains hatred OF Americans was SO
great that he refused. The army officer
was so inccnsed that there came near
being fight.

NEW COMPLICATIONS FEARED.
Discoveries on the Maine Seem 10 Indicate NJ
Internal Explosion.
NOTHING YET DEFINITE ABOUT A MINE


New York. Feb. GA dispatch to the
tribune from Havana says:
The outlook In Cuba does not grow
more promising. The exact statement
IS that the government officials were
never so much disturbed as today. This
is partly due to information from
washington and Madrid. News from
those places which Is permitted to
reach the public is so meager that bet
ter Judgment can be formed in the
United tSates than here as to whether
their fears are exaggerated. Local de-
velopments Justify the serious view
General Blanco and his associates are
said to take of the probability of fresh
complications
The statement that divers have PEN
etrated the forward part of the Maine
and found nothing in the magazines
there to indicate an explosion seems to
be verified.
Attention is also given to testimony
regarding vibration under water before
the Maine went to pieces. Evidence as
to this fact is emphatic. How far 1t
justiiies the belief that the explosion
came from underneath the ship experts
may be left to determine.
The point has not yet been reached
where II definite opinion can be formed
regarding submarine mines Outside
evidence has been brought forward re-
garding the construction of such a sys-

New York, Feb. 23.-The Maine in

by the Intelligence from Havana con-

Economists, headed by Gown, Giberga
aud Amblard, says the Madrid corr
respondent of the World.
The majority of the Spanish politi-

side the insular government and des-

conducting negotiations with the insur-

The Heraldo. Senior Canalejas' news
paper. the impartial, and the military
papers, are rs loud in criticising the
radical autonomists as are the conser-
yatiVe organs of every shade, from the
TEMPO. the organ of Senior Silvela, to
the Epoca and the Nacional, the or
gans of Gen. Weyler and Senior Romero
Robledo.
The impression is that the conces-
sions of the extreme autonomists will
lead to making them masters of the
situation. as the moderates, like Galvez
and Montero, either will be tools in
