MORMON DEFIANCE OF LAW.
Church OfiicinI of Utah Subjected

A Church OfiicinI of Utah Subjected
to n Fine.
SALT LAKE. Utah, Nov 23.-Joseph W.
Taylor. a prominent official of the Nor
mon Church, appeared before District
Judge Norrel1 yesterday to receive SEN
tence for unlawful cohabitation, to which
charge he had pleaded guilty. Taylor is
an old man and married his plural wives
many years ago.
Before passing sentence Judge Norrell
asked him If he intended to obey the law
in the future. The defendants attorney
protested against the question, but the
Judge insisted upon a reply, whereupon
Taylor announced his refusal to make any
promises to obey the law in the future
The prosecuting attorney thought this de-
fiant attitude of the defendant should be
taken into consideration in imposing sen
tence. and the court fined Taylor $3.50. The
maximum penalty is $500 fine and six
months in Jail. Taylor is the first polyg-
amist during the present crusade to be
asked whether he intended to obey the
law. and his refusal to make any promise
is taken to indicate an intention on his
part to continue to violate the law.

CONFLICT BETWEEN PRIESTS.
Serious Trouble Between n Clergy
man and His Assistant.

SeThO0S irOuDIe between clergy
man and His Assistant.
CAMDEN, n. j.. Nov. 23.-The trouble
between the Rev. Peter Connolly. rector of
St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Glou-
cester City, and his assistant. the Rev
Michael Curran, which resulted in the lat
ter's arrest, had another sensational turn
yesterday. The quarrel was carried into
the very sanctuary, and Father Connolly
prevented his assistant from officiating at
the mass. 1t is said Father Currans vest
ments were torn in the struggle. During
the scene a woman tainted.
Father Connolly later had another war
rant issued for his assistants arrest.
Father Connolly makes serious charges
against his assistant. He says that the
Rev. Mr.. Curran. besides antagonizing his
policy in church affairs, had acted in a
manner to give rise to scandal. HE has
insulted persons in the parish" the rec
tor said. 'in such manner that their
fathers would almost be justified in shoot
ing him.
Rev. Mr.. Curran has many friends in the
congregation, especially among the young
er members. They say that his conduct
has always been gentlemanly.
Father ConnoIIy's friends say the assist
ant was induced to attack him by saloon
keepers. who hope to have the rector re-
moved, and then resume Sunday liquor
selling, which he stopped.

A TELEaRApH1c WONDER.
Messuges Sent mt the Rate of 122,
900 Words an Hour.

| CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-Messages were tele-
| graphed to Milwaukee and back again today
at the rate of 122, eco words an hour. This
extraordinary performance was achieved
by the Pollak- -virag automatic telegraph
invention, and was the first demonstration
of its capabilities ever made outside OF
Budapest. Hungary. where the device wa.
invented
This demonstration was in the nature OF
preliminary test Of the machine. but ii
was given unusual Significance by the fact
that messages were sent a greater distance
today than were ever before attempted by
the inventors.
The apparatus was first attached to a
wire extending from the Tribune Office
to Buffalo and back to the Tribune Of
flee again. and messages were sent over
this circuit at the rate of $4,000 words an
hour.
The distance of the transmission, which is
l.O62 miles. is greater than in any previous
experiments. The circuit between Buda
pest and Berlin. less than 200 miles, Is the
longest distance heretofore attempted.
Those who witnessed the exhibition were
j. c. Barclay, electrician of the Western
urlon Telegraph Company; ]. J. Grafton,
Adolph Weiner, attorney for Messrs. Pol
LAX and Virag; Adolph Herman. Hamburg
Germany, European representative Of the
Guardian Trust Company. of this city.
which controls the rights of the device in
America.
The operation of the apparatus was di-
rected by the inventors. The conditions
ur1er which il was necessary TO make the
tests over the long distances desired wer>
new TO the European electricians. and some
OF the necessary appurtenances OF the eler-
trical experiments were not at hand. 70.
this reason the test over the Buffalo circuit
was not completely satisfactory
While 90.GG0 words an hour were sent TO
Buffalo and back there came blur in the
receiver which temporarily stopped fHrther
experiments. This was due TO excessive
voltage in the telegraph wires. which. it is
said. can be easily overcome. and as soon
as some resistances which are being made
for the inventors are received the public
tests will be given TO which electrical sci
entists will be invited.
AT second test a circuit was made to
Milwaukee and hack over the lines of the
Western Union. The record made was 122,-
COO words an hour.
The invention in general is an automatic
sender and receiver OF electrical puisations,
which Will transmit more than 600 words
a minute a perforated strip OF paper. the
perforations representing the signs of the
Morse code, is passed through the sending
machine and the code signs are repeated il
the receiving machine.
The pulsations OF the electrical current
are reflected on small concave mirror and
are photographed as reflected. \ sensitized
strip Of paper receives the Photographic
impressions, and they are reeled out TO the
operator Tor translation much the same as
ribbon in an old Morse telegraphing ma

IMPROVED TOURIST sLEEPERs.
Railroads Are Accedng 10 Demands OF
Middle Glasses Who Want Better
Sleeping-Car Service

In response TO the demands Of the
times the o. r. & y. and its connen-
tious are placing In operation a much
better grade of tourist sleepers for Pa
Cl1c coast service than az any previous
dime. The largely increased traffic 70
this section OF the country has demand
ed all the Improvements OF latter-day
transportation, and In consideration Of
this the railroads are establishing a
service which Is excellent In every par
ticular. Not only are the wishes Of
first-class passengers served. but those
VINO are travelling to and from the East
on second-class tickets are splendidly
cared for There was a time when a
tourist sleeper appealed to a limited
number OF people who were travelling
on the cheap" order, in every meaning
Of the term Now. however, there has
been a radical change. With the bet
ter tourist sleepers in operation the
class Of passengers has been improved,
and one may now travel upon them
and enjoy all the privileges Of a first
class sleeper at greately reduced rate.
Daily on the o. r. & n. east-bound
fast mail, is attached one of these lat
est improved tourist sleepers, a model
of beauty and handsome appointments.
The new cars are almost an exact
counterpart Of the first-class sleepers. \
One noticeable feature Of the new
tourist cars is tn absence Of a smoking
apartment. The new cars being built
by the Pullman Company are not pro-
vided with smoking apartments. This
new departure has been taken because
OF the fact that most through trains
are provided with composite cars, which
