EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY,?¢ THE MORMON'S ZION. ‘What Tourists See to Marvel at in Utah. FRE APPROACHES To SALT LAKE CITT—A LAND OF SCRIPTURAL NAMES AND OF AGRICULTU- RAL PROSPERITY—THE GREAT TEMPLE AND ‘THE TITHING HOUSE. (Correspondence of Tax EvExIxc Stale Saur Lax Crry, Uran, Sept. 18, 1885. Though this city and region have been writ- ten up by a thousand journalistic pens, yet no country in the old world presents points of greater novelty and interest to a tourist, both 4m its physical and social aspects. In coming here from Colorado, over the Denver and Rio Grande railway, for quite a hundred miles after erossing the east line of Utah, from Grand to Green rivers, the eye rests upon the most deso- late waste of clay and sand, encrusted with al- Kali and devoid of vegetation save the inevite- Die sage brush. The main Rocky mountain ange is left behind, and at Green river the ‘Wasatch frowns in front of us, while about 50 miles southward we descry the rough out- Hine of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, below SbeJunction of Grand and Green rivers, its two Bove of the Wasatch we follow the Provo river which leads us intothe Utah valley and empties into Utah lake. Approaching this valley the aight le as gladdening to the eye as was the land Canaan fo the wanderers of old when they Stcarde,irrigntod 9 streain brought Sn the rea mountain sides-and ‘comfortable, cheerful look- light colored adobe or sun-dried brick cover the landscape. At each stopping it is vended by waite as luscious and muei ‘ashi girls, which is cheaper than your m market affords Aitalfa is the wn for cattle food, both here of zone any other crop. It resembles clover, hav- ings similar leaf and a purple blossom. With- but irrigation two crops @ year are raised, and with irrigation four crops’ are produced. It same from California, and, I believe, will find its way east. Utah lake is fresh, and the river Jordan flows from it northward into the Great Salt Lake, which is some 20 miles northwest of this city. "The Mormons are NOTHING IF NOTSCRIPTURAL, and have given names to the notable features of their peculiar land accordingly. Mount Nebor stands as a towering landmark to the southward, and this, the chosen cit of the saints, they call Zion; It is, indeed, a beautiful city, with streets 140 feet wide, laid out at t angles, according to the cardinal points the compass, streams of clear water from the mountains coursing along their sides, each square containing ten acres, and, in the resi- dence portion of the city, with from eight to ten houses on each side of the square. Fine Stores line the main business street, one of Which, occupied by “Zion's Co-operative Mer- cantile Institution,” is of white marble, front- ing 100 feet by Gver 300 feet in depth. The Nquor saloons are large and stylish, as they heed be to pay the license, which is $100 per month. What a revenue this would produce am Washington! The buildings belonging to the church are on a grand and expensive scale, but have been sooften and specially described that I will only give them a passing notice. ye tabernacle is oval-shay |, a8 every one is are. Its longer axis 1s 256 feet, its shorter 150 feet, and is spanned by a single ‘arch, with- out any’ supporting columns. ‘Tt will seat 10,000 persons. Patti sang in it five times to an audience of over 11,000 on each occasion, and was delighted with its acoustic qualities. ‘When I was in it to-day a party of us stood at one extreme, and while a pin was Sropped the other, 250 feet away, we heard {t dis tinetly, and a whisper around the side Is heard as plainly as one in the whispering lery of St. Pauls Its organ is the second iusfze inthe United States, and was manufactured here. Close by the tabernacle is assembly hall,a fine stone edifice, where smaller church gatherings are heid as well as secular entertainments, But the temple is the Mormon pride, though far * trom being completed. Work has been in_pro- gress on it for twenty-three years, and I was told by an officer of the church that it has already cost $3,000,000. It is of granite quar- ried from the neighboring mountain, near the famous Emma and Ontario mines. The main walls are nine feet thick,and have reached their intended height, but the towers are only about 100 feet high, and are to be 1 od 204 feet respectively. The most interesting place to the visitor, however. is THE TITHING ESTABLISHMENT, where good Mormons bring, asa free-offering to the church, a tenth of their income, or of the products of their industry, each in its season. Itconsists of several large buildings, and a courtyard for wagons, enclosed by & high stone wall. There we saw farm-teams bring alfalia, grain, flour, vegetables and fruit of all kinds, With which we were allowed to regale ourselves while a Mormon attendant glibly descanted upon the merits of his faith and its peculiar in- stitution, quoting Scripture with the fluency ofan evangelist In its support. From these tithes the church helps {ts poor and pays the laborers employed in buliding the temple and iu other public works. The population of the city is given as 25,000. There are about thirty wards, mepeh of which there is a school house, where lo ehurch meetings are also held. At present the church may be said to be decapi- tated, for its head, #¢., its president and two counsellors, Taylor, Cannon and Smith, have betaken themselves to parts unknown to avoid the dilemma, in which arrest under pending or rospective Indictments for polygainy would mvolve them. A ride oftwenty miles by rail took a party of us to THE GREAT SALT LAKE, and as we approached it the gleam from Its sur- face was of as light and bright a blue as that which comes from the Mediterranean to a trav- eler on the Cornice road. It is about 70 by 30 tiles in extent and a number of large islands rise in lofty peaks toa height of more than 3,000 feet above the level of its waters. A. ange in it was refreshing. It is notas cold as t ocean, but is much more salt, and so buoyant ‘& to give one a sensation of walking the water rather than swimming in it. On its borders are extensive salt works, and shee; cattle graze where the land has not yet be€n tilled, and may not be susceptivie of tillage. The cli? mate is balmy aud healthful, and, in short, na- ture smiles in every feature, “and only man is vile.” RB. Dr. Lloyd's Ditch. THE CORPORATE AUTHORITIES OF FALL'S CHURCH DEFEATED IN A NOTABLE LAWSUIT. Correspondence of Ture EVENING STAR, FALu’s CHURCH, Va., Sept. 30, 1885. The case of the corporate authorities ot Fall’s Church vs. Lester Lloyd was tried last Week at Fairfax Court House in the county court before Judge Sangster. Judge Thomas and his part- ner, James Love, prosecuted, and Walter Moore and John M. Johnson, of Alex- andria, defended. The case has grown out of the following fac For some years the surface water trom a portion of two Streets has been carried by a culvert under one em within a few paces of the crossing St#Mets constituting the business center of the village and emptied upon the village lot of Dr. | Lioyd. For some time he has made complaints concerning it to the council, but that body would do nothing to relieve him. On the front along the Leesburg pike there are two store- butidings; one connected with a dwelling in| which Dr. Lioyd lives. On the other front along the street which becomes the Court House Toad. is, at the lower corner, the new office of | the Virginia Register. In the offictal year of 1884 and 1385, Lioyd became more urgent to have the use of his lot conceded, but this majority declared that across the ‘lot was a “water course,” and that t must not be turned along the street. If the street was properly worked the water when It fell would run oif without harm to any one. The council would not have It worked. Lloyd then filled up the ditch. The sargeant was ordered to clear the ditch. Lioyd brought the sargeant be‘ore a jus- | tee of the peace and he was fined. Chen ‘the | mayor fined Llovd for interference $50. This | case Was apppealed to county court. In this case the public took great Interest and when it was submitted tothe Jury it took only 15 ininutes to decide it and sead the council out of court with a big bill of costs to pay.

Ferdinand Ward's Recent Statements. Ferdinand Ward said Saturday to reporter of the New York Sun: “After the failure of Grant & Ward the liabilities were said to be $16,000,- 000 and the assets $11,000,000—a deficit of $5,000,000. I went to work and prepared schedules showing where their money had gone toand who benefited by it, These schedules were given to Receiver Davies, and he has been ina position right along tomake public the names of the persons who recelved this money. A large part of it found its way into the pockets of Warner and Fish. The former received $1,400,000 and the latter $800,000, as was shown on bis trial.” ae oe Tuesday night Ward gave press following’ sustement: “prepared schedules and gave them to Mr. Davies and Mr. John- stone, which show what disposition was made Of the money of Grant 4 Ward and the names Of the parties who received It, and the amounts received by each. One of ‘these statements showed that I paid out from 1880 to 1884 $633,000 for my personal account It also shows that of this amount I invested $573,000 in real estate and personal iy, all of which I conveyed to Mr. Warner the morning afler our failure, and which property the a- signee is seeking to recover from Mr. Warner for the benefit of my creditors. This leaves a balance of $120,000 as expended by me in liv- ing expenses during four years, but included in this sum 1s $120,000, received by me as profits on my individual investments—such as divi- dends on Evening Star mining stock, ete., belonging tome. This proves that none of the money of Grant & Ward has been appro- lated by me for my personal use in an: i yhatever wrong I have committed in the transaction of the business of that firm has in- ured to the benefit of other people and not my- self; but, pending my trial, which is expected tocomeon next month, my counsel object to my volunteering any statement of the who have received this money beyond what I have made as witness at the case of Mr. Holt, my asignee, as against Mr. Warner, I have, however, no objection to elther Mr. Davies or Mr. Johnstone making any or all the state- ments pubite.” Davies and Johnstone decline to make the schedules public at this time, the names are Dot those of persons who had any- thing to do with the fraudulent contracts, but merely persons who had discounted the Baper of Grant & Ward, and in most cases t heavily therefrom. THE GRANTS, A New York special to the Philadelphia Press says: “In regard to what was paid the Grants, it can be sald without fear of contradiction that they lost more money in actual cash than they ever took out, and were bankrupted absolutely by the matter. The attempt of Ward and his brother to mislead the public into the belief that the Grants got more money out than they put in is dented here in toto by those who know and is attributed to Ward's desire to distract public attention from himself and to prevent Search for the actual money which he and his fellow conspirators have undoubtedly stowed away somewhere. WARNER'S SHARE. “But the most extraordinary payments in this schedule are those made to one W. 8. Warner, and it is this particular branch of the stupendous stealings of Ferdinand Ward that is Just now attracting public attention. ‘The receiver of Grant & Ward is Mr. J.T. Davies, who belongs to the law firm of Davies, Work & MeNamee. This man W. 8. Warner is a brother- in-law of J. H. Work, and there are people here who openiy charge’ that the judge, who ap- Polnted Davies receiver was himself either a victim of Ward or in some other way interested in the fraudulent contracts. However this may be, a member of the law firm who now have the closing up of Grant & Ward's affairs is related tothe man who received alone $1,250,000 of the fraudulent profits.” In the meantime Warner, of whom but little is known, cannot be found. ——ee Butler Mahone’s Latest Escapade.

M. Van Au- ken, of Milford, Pa, retired to her room about" 11 o'clock Friday night last. Her husband fin- ished a letter he was writing and followed Mrs. Van Auken upstairs.

At the Lynchburg convention of colored men last evening R. B. Beckley was elected perma- nent chairman. An address to the colored peo- ple of Virginia was adopted, reciting that the time having come for withdrawing the unquall- fled support heretofore given the republican y. the convention declared itself politically independent. While professing gratitude to the republican party for what it has done for the colored race in the past, the address declares that “now the time has come for us to think, act, vote and speak for ourselves, especially since the republicans have practically aban- doned us. We know that many of our race have been murdered in the south, but the causes which led to these sad occurrences are traceable to the mismanagement of federal of- ficeholders. ‘These reasons lead us to adopt such methods and to so demean ourselves as to make friends of those whose interests are iden- tical with ourown. We therefore appeal tothe colored people to look well to the altered condi- tion of affairs, and in the future to make such political alliances as will most, advance our in- rests, educationally, fi iti cally.

FALL OF A GIGANTIC AEROLITE—THOUGHT TO ‘BE AN EARTHQUAKE, A Pittsburg special to the New York Tribune says: “It now appears that theshock felt within a radius of thirty miles of this city on Saturday afternoon was not produced by an earthquake but by the fall of a gigantic meteor, Its course was from northeast to southwest, It passed di- rectly over Sewickley toward Mansfield and the Chartiers valley. The explosion was heard at McKeesport, Braddock and Swiasvale, in the opposite direction, and at numerous other places within thatcircle. Those who heard it thought that some terrible explosion of natural gas had taken place somewhere, or that the boll- ers in some extensive mill in this city had let go. At McKeesport 1t was thought that there had been an explosion at the Edgar Thomson Steel works. At Can- onsburg, Bridgeville and other places the people flocked to the depots to learn the cause of the strange occurrence. On the Pan Handle road the trainmen heard the rumblli and describe it as resembling the rattling of heavy artillery over a solid roadbed. People rusbed out of their houses and hearing the strange thunder looked in bewilderment at the clear blue of the cloudless sky. Some said it was an explosion of gas, others that it came from the quarries where the workmen were blasting. Farmers at work in the flelds looked about t em in astonishment, but not a sign of anything was to beseen. The office of the Mans- Sela Coal and Coke company was shaken, ‘Tho type in the cases of a local newspaper office was sturbed. ot farmer near Sewickley saw the meteor rough the air at great ‘and disappear southward, He described it as being “lame as @ barn door.” At Middletown, Pennsylvania,it was reported to be the size ofg tin cup, In pass- ied. pieces ing over the town it burst and detac! fell to the ground.
