Kelley. Another mutiny seemed probable yester- day in the Kelley industrial army at Wal- nut, Iowa. Col. Spead, whose popularity with the men is as great as that of the coni- tmander, positively refused to obey orders on the march, and it was apparent that any at- tempt to discipline him would cause a split in the army. Spead has been inclined to be unruly ever since Col. Baker’s discharge, and has secretly sympathized with the ex- colonel, As the army neared Walnut, Kelley ordered Spead to march with the commis- sary wagons and look after them. Spead Promptly replied that he was doing all he could, and would not follow the command- er’s instructions. A decidedly hot exchange of compliments between the two men followed, and for a time a general row was imminent, as the Sacramento men promptly took sides with Spead, while the San Francisco division favored Kelley. The latter finafy turned away with the remark that he would settle the matter later. ‘When the men reached Walnut they were in a state of Cane excitement, and predicted serious trouble before night. A short distance beyond Walnut the army halted to discuss the tmpendi trouble. Spead attempted to make a 3; and im- mediately a wild scene ensued. Cries of “Spead,” mingled with shouts for Kelley. The men formed opposite bodies and a fierce fight seemed imminent. For fifteen or twenty minutes the scene continued. continued trying to speak amid cheers from his followers a howls and threats from Kelley's men. oem were gathered and clubs were waved, While crowds from Wal- nut retired to a safe distance in expecta- tion of a conflict. At last Kelley climbed upon a wagon and began a speeeh. Men ran from all directions shouting “Kelley,” and soon over half the army had gathered about . He talked quietly and dispassionately, attempting to quell the angry mob. He in- formed them ‘that court-martial had been held and that the captain should, by a vote of 20 to 8, reduce Spead to the ranks. “We are going to Washington,” he shout- ed, “and I believe we will go together.” ‘The men cheered vociferously, and Kelley ordered them to dinner. This quieted the men down, and the fight was, for a time at least, averted. The entire trouble is the re- sult of jealousy between the San Francisco and Sacramento divisions, to the latter of which Spead belongs. Soon after the army left at least one hundred men left the ranks and started across the country in various directions. Kelley disclaimed all knowledge of the wholesale desertion, and asserted that he knew of but ten or twelve men who had = but the men in the ranks bg rem edged that their comrades were leavin; Many of the men who left started to ride east on the Rock Island freight trains, and others started on the return trip to Council Bluffs. It was stated by some of the rail- road officials that 600 men had left the army since their departure from Council Bluffs, but a careful count fails to show that this is a fact. The army as it left Walnut number- ed 1,118 men, but it is apparent that Kelley will be fortunate if he reaches Des Moines with 1,000. +0 Nelson Waterbury Dead. Nelson J.

Now He Tells of the Dismemberment of the Union and the Downfall of the National Capital. SALT LAKE CTTY, Utah, April 20, 1894. In a lonely spot on @ bench of the Wah- satch mountains, not far from Provo, re- sides an old man who came to Utah in the early days as captain of one of the hand- cart companies of emigrants. He was even at that time recognized as a seer and reve- lator, and, according to general belief ‘among the enthusiasts comprising his com- peny, was recognized a favored one of God, the mouthpiece through which was made known the Divine will, and to whom was revealed the future, Known to the world as Joab Smallwood, he insisted that his name was simply “Joab;” that the family name of Smail- ‘wood was # worldly attachment, but that he came from a line of prophets, and that the Smallwood name was an honor be- stowed upon the family by his presence. He was at once accorded a high place in the priestly councils upon arrival in the valleys of Zion; his voice and his warnings ever being against the ungodly and the unregenerated, who had at a later date forced themselves within the confines of the holy land. His voice, whether under inspiration or not, was always against those who refused or neglected to accept the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith, in the oe made through other chosen vessel In 1854 he was located near Nephi, and was then given to revelations, and was frequently consulted by Brigham Young, who was supposed to be inspired whenever he conceived some new scheme for the | benefit of himself or his people. The apostles, recognizing the usefulness of the modern Prophet Joab, took especial pains to spread broadcast ail his utterances and urge upon his people to heed them as the words of God. In November, 1854, Joab Smallwood, in a long revelation, predicted the late civil sl and the long train of events following A Remarkable Phophecy. He then declared that out of that strug- gle would come freedom to millions of peo- ple, who, in some future age, would possess ja kingdom of their own. Added to these | were the following words: “But even at the close of the struggle between the peo- ple of this nation, in which hundreds of thousands will have sacrificed their lives, the bloody chapter will end only gt. = chief of the reunited nation been stricken down by the hand of Boge rn sassin in his own capital city. The man who is destined to free millions of unfor- tunates will be unable to ward off the death blow by one acting under the advice of those so recently conquered. Peace will be restored, but again the bloody hand of the assassin will visit the national capi and again will a chief magistrate be stricken down.” These remarkable words were preserved, and their fulfillment gave the prophet a higher place in the estimation of his peo- ple. There are other but not so well au- thenticated ge oa extant, but which, according to those acquainted with them, have all been fulfilled. Another Prophecy. ‘Two weeks ago he called to his residence near Provo some of the ruling spirits of his church and gave them another revelation, in which he predicted the near dismemberment of the United States, the triumphant estab- Mshment of the earthly kingdom of Zion and the all-| influence and power of the holy priesthood. As related by one of the apostles who was present, and who places implicit belief in all seen and heard, the story of the prophecy is at least peculiar, and not uninteresting. “On the night of the 6th,” said tolic ruler of the church, “I felt “impelled to Provo and visit Brother Joab. All night long, unable to sleep, and incapable of diverting my mind to any other subject, I could feel the presence of spirits and angels, urging me to go at once, a8 words of im- port would be given me thro} the chosen vessel. Toward morning I about mace up my mind not to give way to such imagin- ings, when there aj —— in my room the Angel Moroni and the Prophets Joseph | Smith and Brigham Young, who commanded | me to at once arise and go to Brother Joab, then in his mountain home. I at once de- cided to obey, arose and made my prepara- tio On my way I was joined by four of the apostles whom the Lord has appointed | to govern and control the church. They had all ‘received the same admonitions that T | and were bound on the same mission. rriving at the residence of Brother Joab, to our surpise we found awaiting the other seven of the chosen, and as entered, the venerable brother said: “We are now all assembled, let us enter The Presence. “Passing into an inner room, we felt that we were in a holy place, and we knew ‘we were about to recetve words from Him whom we adore and worship. There was a deep calm, followed by an intense holy feel- ing, from which we knew that words of unusual import were to be given us. Broth- er Joab, stricken with years, but with a | | The Millenium Predicted. “Brethren, it hath been revealed to me, and I am commanded to tell it you, that the time of our redemption is at hand. The Kingdom of Zion will soon be established on earth, and the holy places will be ac- knowledged of all men. The temples of the Lord will be the sanctuaries for the faith- ful during the three years of blood that will soon be upon us, but the faithful will be preserved, and even we will see the be- vente of the thousand years of Christ's reign upon earth. The ungodly will destroy each other, but the faithful shall be saved. Before the year 1900 the United ‘States will be dismembered and five new nations will have been established on the American continent, the principal of which will be the holy city of Salt Lake and the Kingdom of Zion, into which none of the unclean will be permitted to enter. The destruction of the nation will be completed and the new nations established before the commence- ment of the new century, and I have been promised the glory of dwelling with my Lord on earth one thousand years, whose coming I now await, and whom you wil! all be permitted to see. Zion will be saved from the evils of war, but in the eastern and southern states, and in some of the western states, blood will flow, shed by the hands of brothers and fathers. The hand of man will be raised against man and desolation will follow. The faithful will turn their eyes toward Zion, and will es- cape evil only by fleeing thither. The time has come when the warning must be sent forth and the faithful withdrawn from the evils that environ them and from the dan- gers that will visit them. Unpleasant for Washington. “The city of Washington will be no more. The city of New York will be purified by fire and drenched with blood, and will then become the chief city of a new nation; bats and moles will be the sole inhabitants of Atlanta, Charleston, Chattanooga and Bir- mingham, their ruins remaining as monu- ments over the buried evil that once cen- tered there; and a great city will arise in the mountains, the home of the ruler of the new nation now being builded near Ashe- ville, where will be the seat of government. Chicago will be destroyed by the hordes within her borders and will be rebullded, purified and consecrated, and will be se- lected as the abode of those of the faith ‘sent there to leaven the people of the new nation.” In this strain Joab Smallwood went on predicting dire calamity to other cities of | the country, closing with an appeal to all who wish to be saved from destruction to flee to Zion and make their peace with | God. He said the Latter Day Saints would | | ward competition, MILLIONS TO BE COUNTED. A Huge Vault Filled With Silver Dol- lars Unlocked. The huge vault at the Philadelphia mint, known as vault C, in which has been sealed up for nearly four years 50,000,000 of stand- ard silver dollars, has been opened, and the Jong and laborious task of counting this big amount of money has begun. As the occasion was deemed one of importance, there was observed some little formality. Dr. Caleb Whitehead had gone on from Washivgton to represent the mint bureau, Frank Sartori represented Superintendent Townsend and W. L. Bosbyshell, Col. Bos- byshell’s son, represented the former super- intendent. William E. Morgan, United States treasury examiner, was also present. United States Treasurer Daniel N. Morgan, who, with his son, happened to be in the city, and accompanied by Major Worman, witnessed the breaking of the seal and af- a made a tour of inspection of the The vault where this vast amount of coin- ed money has lain undisturbed is situated in the center of ‘the first part of the base- ment. Rusty Bolts Stick Fast. Major C. H, Townsend, cashier of the mint, having been given the combination of the vault, proceeded to open the outer door. This was easily accomplished, but when the inner door was reached some difficulty was experienced, as even after the combination lock was manipulated the door refused to open, the bolts from long disuse sticking fast. This was soon overcome, however, en- trance was finally effected, and the assem- that $33,000,000 had been placed there on February 7, 1890, with Major Meline of the treasury, B. F. Butler of the mint bureau and James C. Eyster of the mint present, and that, further, $17,000,000 more had been sealed up on May 26, 1891. The vault emitted a damp, musty odor when opened. Under ‘the glare of the elec- tric light the great wealth of stored silver was visible, see ee ne fost on & bags, had been placed. There were 50,000 each contataing: $1,000 in shining coin. These bags were piled up one on top of the other, the topmost almost reaching the arched of the vault, nearly nine feet high. Wealth Piled in Great Heaps. ‘The whole mass had been arranged in dif- ferent stacks. The first stack was thirteen bags high and eight across. Just in the rear of this was @ second stack, while still further back loomed up @ third. This, though, represents only one section of the vault. Altogether there are nine. The weight of this great amount of silver is 2,- ‘850,000 pounds avoirdupois, and the tremen- dous pressure of the bags upon the lower had cauyed a number of the latter to burst, causing their glistening contents to spread out upon the floor. The inspection of the vault was followed by the weighing of the coin, the bag con- taining $1,000 was taken and when its contents as to weight was determined it was taken back and used as a counter for the rest. As nearly all the bags were more or less moldy, this will necessitate re- | bagging the money, which is no slight task of itself. It will be nearly two months before the tal | Work of counting this vast hoard of minted money is completed. ———_-+e-+ _____ THE CHICAGO GAS TRUST. War to Be Opened by the Attorney General. ‘The war of the state of Ilincis against the great Chicago gas trust began yester- ofa tn *thesmigoult court of Cook county, Attorney General Maloney and two bril- Mant assistant attorneys general and a for- midable array of legal talent, representing the property owners of the city of Chicago, are to prosecute the quo warranto proceed- ings, and if the state is successful the charter of the gas trust will be revoked and the valuable franchises of the various companies: ting the association be- come worthless as the profit-bearing medi- ums which have for so many years been favorably listed on the great stock ex- changes of the country. The filing of the petition of the attorney general for to institute the pro- ceedings of quo warranto was made public shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. After detailing the well-known facts of the organization of the various companies, from which the trust was later created, the petition continues: “It is further in a verified peti- tion, supported by affidavits and other documentary evidence, that these four cor- porations are in a trust; that all of said orporations have, practically, a common board of directors, that is to ‘say, all, or mostly all of the directors are in one or \the other of the constituent corporations, and in some instances that the entire body of directors of one company constitute, with a few additions, the board of directors of another; that every act of the constitu- ent corporations indicates a common under- standing and common purpose. “That the same hand and head, or hands and heads, direct every movement of these artificial beings, and that the directions are toward a common end, and indicates a common origin, a common purpose, a com- bination for furthering their own inter- ests, that competition, or any incentive to- between them is entirely destroyed; the promoters of this scheme have and possess the stock of the four constituent corporations to the extent already mentioned (that ts that they owned 292,611 of the 299,368 shares issued and sold by them); that all the stock as obtained was canceled by these four corporations and new stock for an equal or like amount issued to the Chicago Gas Trust Company.” a MANBY NOT YET CLEARED. He May Have to Stand a Court-Mar- tial for Unsoldierlike Conduct. Lieut. James A. Maney, who was acquit- ted of the murder of Capt. Hedberg, at Fort Sheridan, may be called upon to face a court-martial. After the shooting of Hed- berg Lieut. Maney was suspended from duty by order of the War Department on charges which were preferred agairst him. Although acquitted by a jury of all blame so far as the shooting is concerned he cannot be re- stored to duty without an order from the department. The probable course of the department will be to refer the whole case to Gen.
