2 ‘Whitebreast Coal company vouchers for that conl that went out to the asylum. The doctor examined all of the vouchers and then told the court that as far as his knowl- edge went all of them were correct. He had checked them with the coal bills and had not found any discrepancies; after that he approved them and they v I~m to the Board Public Lanis anda Buildings “Who transmitted these deficiency bills to the logislature’ asked Mr. Webster. “I do not know, but I know that they got there," : » 1o you know if they were investigated? “Only by hearsay.’ “When you approved the vouchers had you compared them with the books ! “Yes, sir, 1 and they were correct o far as 1 could learn.” “When youleft the asylum were these vouchers showing the amount of coal re- ceived?” “There we the number present wher " o duplicate vouchers showing f cars, but T don't kuow the Abouts of the books and pa- “Did you examine Sewell & Co.'s flour vouchers bofore you approved them “‘Yos, sir, I did, but if they showed no special corrections, I did not examine them 80 closely; I nev approved any voucher without T believed it to be correct. 1f1did not do 8o mysclf I always caused them to be examined before approval. “Did you ever know, during 1801, that coal was bemg stolen?” *‘Yes, siv; from the switch, and men were placed there to stop it.

Mr. Lambertson objected to the record on the ground of incompetency, Judge Pound suggested that the re- port was made before the respondents went into office. © The report was admitted. There was nothing more that Mr. Webster desired to draw out on the direct and so an- nouncing he turned over the wituess to be cross-examined. How His Report Was Mado. “Doctor, in making this report you do not show the deficiency?” asked Mr. Lambert- son. **No."” replied the doctor, “that would have gone into the next report.” “Then there should have been 3,036 added as the amount paid for coal “Yes, sir; [ thiok so.” “In commending the skill and integrity of the board, you referred to the members of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings and to the gentlemen who preceded these respondents?” . *Yes, sir; for these men were not then in office, " 'The same is true with reference to Lauer and Pass?” “Yes, sir." “Did vou have all that you could do over there, looking after the patients?” “T was kept pretty busy. *Are you a bookkeeper? *No, sir.” “Did you check these accounts over, if they were not called to your aitention?” S\No, sir.)” *You had a general supery “Yes, siv: that's it.” “Did you go out and check the car num- bers?” “No, sir; usually the vouck on them the number of the conl came.” The witness was shown a I of vouchers which did not ¢ T8, “Why did you not require the bers to be placed upon the voucher “I can’t recall any special reason “Why did you require car numbers on Betts & Weaver's vouchers, and never re- uire any car numbers on the vouchers of the Whitebreast Coal company 2" ST can't say.

Webster offered the bond and official oath of Dr. Knapp in evidence. There was no objection. After this thero wus the bond and oath of office of J. Dan Lauer. Mr. Webster offored the boud of J. | W. Bowman. Mr. Lambertson objected for the reason that Bowman had nothing to do with the case, but before the court ruled the | objection was withdrawn Governor Thayer in vidence. Joseph R Webster for the respondents said that he had some documentary evidence, which he wanted to introduce. Gaining his feet Mr. Webster read from the message of -Governor Thayer, in which document he | commended the management of the hospital and showing the low death rate out at the institution. mbertson stated that as far as the re concerned, it did not make much what the ex governor though Maxwell replied that the passage | red to eould be marked and it would be looked into, John L. Webster hoped that the court would understand that the respondents did not suspicion the subordinates as being dis- honest, especially those who were endorsed by high ofticials, idenco of the Engincor. Engineer Mohlor of the hospital testified that he went to the institution sometime in 1880, SWhen was the new boiler put into tho green house?” asked Judge Hayward for the respondents. “How large was this new boiler?

POLYGAMY IN 18, How the Law is Belng Disregardod—A Local Paper's Story. SALtLake, U.T., May 15.~The Tribune printed an article this morning divectly in- timating that the reason that there have been s0 few prosecutions for polygamy and unlasy- ful cohabitation for many mounths past, is because the officials ignore offenses of this | kind and refuse to prosecute them. It gives | a long list of polygumists who have | their “plural wives, alleged, just | over the line in Idaho and Wyoming, begiu- ning with the case of Bishop Oscar Dunn of West_ Millville, Cache count U. T. He was, it is stated, arrested by a deputy mar- shal on the charge of living in polygamy with Jane A. Walsh, and she was about to be- come a mothe The deputy then reported to the headquarters of his district in Ogden. On his return home the deputy e the fol- lowing report to the commissione “I am | s instructed by Cassin not to 4 the wit. nesses in that The chiel aeputy we have been trying to lay a golden egg in this territory and brealk it up."” The article proceeds: by the golden egg? No one appears to know. Noexplanations can be arawn out, but in viow of what the ofeials are doing, it probably means that it is intended to win over the Mormons to the republican party for the purpose of making this & republican state, through winking and ignoring all cases of violations of the laws touching beastial practices of Murmonism,” In the case of Dunn no witnesses wero subparnaed, and when the bishop appeared for trial he was so defiant and audacious as to tell the commissiouer, thut “the deputy told me that he would not subpenea the witnesses and that 1 need not bring my plural wife to tho trial,” and so the case had | 10 be d nissed, The article then adds: “Now, that we are | to have a change of oftic from the repub- | licans back to democrats and o party which has beca boasting for the past four to seven now you are trying to | “What is meant years t ‘we prosecuted and convicted more Mormous than over did the repub- licans, is coming into power, the lovers of | good government will anxiously wateh the results, 1t has been protty loudly whispered that the bourbons are just as anxious for the | Mormon votes as the republicans and th the volicy of the present adwinistrs . on will warm up the situation with many sweet | promises and will go further than have the republican oficials toward winning over the saluts to their party. We shall soon see | what is to come," The article then goes into details and ! mentions the names of & number of Mormons in Utah, 1dabo ana Wyoming who have from Lwo to five wiv ow York, May he Infanta Eulalie husbaud Prince Antoine, embarked at4 o'clock this afternoon in the steamer Maria Christing, for New York.

Lamplighter, the favorite, who went to the post carrying a ton of money, was sec- The winners time made fractionally as follows 14§ half, 51: three-quarters, 1:16; 1:4214 5 mile and a quarter, 2:00, Tho reason for the chilly silence with which Diablo's victor was received is rather ‘ult of explanation. Kven though the winner was an extreme outsider, which fact, of course had its effect, the race-going public are too generous 1o allow that to weigh in the balance and generally give applause where applause is due. The probabilities are that the people felt instinctively that they had in n measure been the vietims of what is termed a grand coup. Diablo was regarded as being in the fivst flight of hes two and three-year-old form, but after his third year his logs bo- came shaky. Since then he has been re- garded simply as a high-class selling plater that was likely to break down permanently in any race m which he started. The horse had raced three times at the recent Elizabeth meeting, winning once out of three starts. Raceland and Charade, two horses that ran in the handicap today, were the winners of these races and beat him v, His wonderful improvement in form today was, therefore, all the move stunning in its effect, ‘The Brooklyn handicap run today was tho seventh in the story of the event and was guaranteed worth $25,000. Of this sum the winner gets $15,000, the second norse $5,000 and the third horse 2,000 It Was a Horseman's Day. The day dawned bright and ', much to the delight of the many thousands of per- sons that had determined to see the rich stakes contested for.

By 12 owtlock a few hundred peo- ple had reached the course and these cagerly seized upon the best points of vontage, which places they retained at least until the eveut of the day noon several thous kings had entery that time unti s decided.

At handicap time at least 30,000 persons were present, Thescenes inand avout the track wero ok picturesque and exciting. The stand itself presented charming scene, the bright toilets of the ladi st 1o the 0 clothing of t} betting ring presented a wild and boisterou scene, The jam was something awful. man would go in smiling and looking spic and span, but ne would come out still smiling perhaps, but with his linen wilted ank his clothing torn and bedraggled. Crazy to Bot. Men rushed madly about looking for the odds they wanted and shuking greenbacks in the faccs ot the bookmakers when they found them. Rushing, pushing, jostling, shoving and hauling, theve was plenty, but it was taken good naturedly, for the crowd expected it. The first three races on the card were a mere relish to the spectators, only serving 1o whet their appetites for the biz event of the day. When therefore, the bugle called the horses to the post for the biz event, excitement was on tiptoe. It was just one minute past 4 o'clock when the horses were summoned from the haddock. Fidelio of William Daly's ving, was the first to appear and was ckly followed by his stable companion, ier, Then came Banquet, Nomad and celand, Michael Dwyer's +Old Bones,” as Raceland is affectionate! alled, was loudly cheered, as was Jocke son, who had the mount on Banquet, wle was next to come on the track, and g were Judge Morrow, the winner of ar's Brooklyn handicap,and 1llume,the presentative of the west in the and H.

After several futile attempts to get them in line for start, Starter Rowe finally, at 4:10, gave the horses the flag to an almost cot start. Judge Morrow, Leonawell, ‘Perrifier and Fidelio were a little in the lead, with Lamplighter, Charade, Pick- pocket, lllume and Mars in a bunch in the vear, Terrifier, true to the Daly tac- tics, immediately shot to the frontand set a clinking pace past the stand and to the back stretch. Here Leonawell, who had been strugghng for his head, pussed Territier and took a lead of two lengths. The race all through the back stretch was an exceedingly protty oue, All of tho horses were running well together and within striking distance of the leader. At the far turn Leonawell slightly increased his 1 and a shout went up from his ad- mirers. Their joy was short-lived, how- for turning into the = home streteh, Diablo, Lamplighter, Juige Morrow, and Illume moved up and joined the leader. A desperate aud highly exciting drive e sued, the horses running almost head and head all through the stretch. Less than a quarter of a furlong from the wire Diablo began to draw out and, soon getting clear of the others, won a grand race biv o length and a half.

A floml horseshoe was also pluced about the neck of the winning horse us he was led from the track. Scarcely a ripple of applause greeted these ceremonios, as 00 to 1 against could be ob- tained about Diablo's chances in the early betting, so little were his ulog the race considered. Straight mutuals on him, of which only twelve were sold, paid $204.50. One hundred and seven bookmak- ers did business in the bettiag riug, but they were utterly unequal to the task of taking iu the monéy offered them by the crowd.
