Report of tse Utah Commission, Which
Two Members Refused to Sign.
from the Noe York Sun.
Washington, Oct. G. L. Godfrey, A.
r Williams and Arthur L. Thomas, consti
tuting a majority of the Utah Commission,
have filed the annual report of the commis
sion. A memorandum at the close of the
document says that Commissioners Carlton
end McClernand dissented from many of the
, jews expressed therein, and did not sign
the report.
The population of the Territory is esti
mated at 200,000, a gain of nearly tiO.OOO
since 1880. The valuation of the property
pssessed is $35,605,803. The prosperity of
the past seven years has been equal to that
rf any former period in the history of the
{Territory. On April 1 the total Mormon
copulation in the Territories of Utah, Idaho.
Arizona, Wyoming and Now Mexico, and
{he States of Nevada and Colorado, was
nfi3,383, officially classed as follows: Three
First Presidents, 11 apostles, 05 patriarchs,
ti. 444 seventies, 3,733 high priests, 13,411
elders, 2,423 priests, 3,497 teachers, 0,854
deacons. 81,283 members and 46,639 chil
dren under eight years of age. The total
church population of Utah was 132,297.
(since the death of John Taylor, which
event dissolved the first presidency for the
third time in the history of the church, the
government of the church rests upon the
quorum of the Twelve Apostles, of which
Wilford Woodruff is President. The Mor
mon church teaches the members not to
enter the Territorial courts to settle their
difficulties, but has provided a system of
courts within the church. The payment of
tithing and other donations for the support
of the church is vigorously urged as a re
ligious duty The tithing for ISBO was
$540,000.
The strength of the non-Mormon element
is estimated at 55,000, and they now own
about one-third of the assessed property of
the Territory. The different religious de
nominations have in Utah 62 churches. The
Methodist denomination has 26, the Presby
terians 18, Catholics 6, and so decreasing
through five other societies. These several
churches have established and control 87
schools, with an aggregate of 0,668 pupils
and 230 teachers.
Since thh passage of the Edmunds law in
1882, 541 persons nave been indicted for un
lawful cohabitation, and ‘289 of these were
convicted. The number convicted of
polygamy was 14. Many of the persons
indicted have fled to escape arrest. The
national laws relating to bigamy and
polygamy have been in effective operation
for about three years. The Mormon leaders
and their obedient followers have made no
concession to its supremacy, and the issue
is squarely maintained between assumed
revelations and the laws of the land.
The first annual election under the act of
Congress prescribing a registration oath for
voters was held on Aug. 1 of this year, and
resulted as follows: The Mormons elected 10
Councillors and ‘2l members; the Liberals or
non-Mormons elected 2 Councillors and 3
members. The total vote cast was 16,901.
On the subject of the movement for State
hood, the report says that in June last a
convention was held, which adopted a con
stitution with great unanimity. It declares
bigamy 7 and polygamy to be misdemeanors,
and fixes the punishment therefor. It also
provides that no further legislation shall he
required to define these offenses, and pro
claims the separation of church and
State. The instrument is silent as
to the offense of unlawful cohabitation.
The non-Mormons declined to recog
nize or join in the proceedings of the con
vention. In the election which followed
upon the adoption of this constitution the
non Mormons refused to vote, and the
monogamous Mormons cast 13,195 votes in
its favor, only 500 votes being cast against
it. The commission regards this State
movement as an effort to free the Mormon
church from the toils which the firm atti
tude of the government and the energetic
course of the Federal officers have thrown
around it, and opposes it.
The commission renews its recommenda
tions of last year, except such as were en
acted into laws at the last session of Con
gress. The commission also recommends
that authority be conferred upon the Gov
ernor of the Territory to appointselectmen,
county clerks, assessors, recorders, and su
perintendents of district schools.
A STORY OP THE WAR.
The Fate of a Young Soldier Made
Known After Twenty-four Years.
From Die St. Loui* Globe-Democrat.
Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 30.—One of the
romances of the war has just developed here,
in which the only son of one of North Caro
lina's Governors figures. Gov. Todd R,
Caldwell during the war resided in hand
some style at the quiet little town of Mor
gantown. Of an old and honored family,
be was proud and had but one object of in
tense affection —his son, John—a handsome
lad not 20 years of age. In the winter of
18fy this only son begged to be allowed to
go to the army. Entreaties were of no avail,
and his father and his mother at last con
sented, with teal's, that he might join the
Army of Northern Virginia. He enlisted in
the Thirty-third regiment of North Caro
lina infantry, in Lane’s brigade, Pender’s
division, A. P. Hill’s corps.
When the campaign opened in 1863 no
soldier was more daring than young Cald
well, and he was soon promoted from the
ranks. In May he was made a second lieu
tenant, for his gallant and meritorious con
duct. His regiment went into the Pennsyl
vania campaign. At Gettysburg he was
present, and in the hottest of the fight. On
'he afternoon of July 3, 1863, his regiment
swept up a slope within fifty yards of the
federal lines, went closer yet, and bayonets
were crossed. Suddenly the line moved
"Ark a little. Young Caldwell was never
reen alive after that moment. He was at
the front when the backward movement
began. His father used all the influence of
woney and position to find the lost soldier,
'"it unavailing]}'. The authorities refused
to allow the graves to he opened. It could
not. lie ascertained whether he was dead or
6| i\e, and the matter became one of tiie
mr >st terrible uncertainties. Under the
Mrain the minds of the father and mother
"dip nearly overcome. The father, grimly
nursing his great sorrow, forbade any one
*" mention the son’s name, and the terrible
story was never alluded to, even bv the
mother.
In lsTl Gen. Caldwell became Governor
the State. Two yeans later, in 1873, an
soldier named Lucas, from
Hyde county, was elected to the Legislature,
"ml came to Raleigh. Home one told him
" MO right the sad story of the death, or
supposed death, and mystery of John Cald-
Vl " The next day Lucas called on the
bovernor and told him the truth at last .
Lucas was in another regiment, and had
observed young Caldwell’s brave bearing,
“s’he} were near together. In the terrible
moment of tho repulse he had seen young
: a‘dwell shot down while separated from
m." men and fighting hand to hand a New
> ork soldier. After hearing this story and
t ic further details of the burial of Oald
*’°l‘ by Lucas, the Governor locked himself
ln his room and was all day in tears. He
never told his wife of the revelation by
Lucas, and told it only to his private seciv-
A few days ago Maj. Charles W. Cowtan,
or New York city, wrote your correspon
dent saying that he had in his possession a
eommission of an officer in a Nort h Caro
lina regiment, which he had picked up on
he battlefield of Gettysburg. His regi
ment, the Tenth New York, hold the line at
Point, just after a terrible charge by
jhe North Carolinians, in which the fair
haired and boyish officer was brave in the
extreme. Mat. Cowtan hail examined
some of the .lead Confederates, who so
thickly strewed the grounds at the works,
And near one found a torn ami bloody com
mission, on which was legible
dniy “John Ca” of the name. Maj.
owtan expressed a desire to return
tins commission if any relatives of the
'lead soldier could he found. Tho cormnis-
Aion was found to be that of the long-lost
“01m Caldwell. Yesterday the commission
was sent Mi's. Caldwell, and this blood
stained and torn piece of parchment is, she
writes, all there is on earth to remind her
of the dead son. For years she cherished
the hope that her son was alive and in some
prison. In fact, all the prisons were search
ed for him through the influence of Gov.
(now Senator) V anee. It has required
twenty-four years to ascertain the true
story. At the same time the commission
was sent her she was first made acquainted
with the told Gov. Caldwell iu 1873.
BAD BUTUNSELFISH.
Prisoners Giving Up Half Their Dinners
to Save a Starving Family.
From the -Veto York Herald.
Vincenzo Juliano, an Italian who put two
pistol balls into the brain of Giuseppe
Dadona, a fellow countryman, during a
drunken quarrel in Newark last June, is
now in Newark jail awaiting trial for mur
der.
His young wife, a typical peasant of
Southern Italy, with brilliant black eyes
and swarthy complexion, is allowed to visit
him three times a week.
When she first began to go to the jail
Warden HeVtry R. Baker, who lias a prett y
tender heart for a prison official, was
touched by the woman’s grief, and felt pity
for the child she carried m her arms anil
the two little ones who trotted by 7 her side.
One day the prison officer noticed that
Juliano’s wife had concealed under her scant
shawl a little bundle. The little woman
uttered a cry when the officer examined it
and disclosed half a loaf of bread and some
bits of meat. It was half the murderer’s
dinner.
Win Warden Baker was informed he
sent tV woman and her little ones to his
residence and, after seeing that they ate a
hearty meal, he gave them some things
from his own table to take to their home.
How the prisoners in the jail learned it
all nobody knows, but the next visiting day,
when Juliano’s wife and little ones came,
they found bread and meat enough in his
cell to keep them from hunger for a week.
They were thieves and thugs, cutthroats
and confidence men, but they stinted them
selves to give half their.dinner to Juliano
for his wife and hungry babies. That is
the way the murderer’s wife and little
children have been kept from starvation.
One day, about two weeks ago, Mrs. Ju
liano knocked as usual at the prison en
trance. She had been weeping and the
bright black ey 7 es were blurred and rimmed
with heavy circles. The woman almost
fainted with emotion when she met her
husband—there was nothing in her arms, so
she threw them about his neck. Her baby
was dead.
There are only two little mouths to feed
now, and half of Juliano's prison ration and
the gifts from Warden Baker’s table keep
the gaunt wolf from the door.
Juliano, who is a good looking young
fellow of 37, said yesterday in his broken
English:
“Me no lika eta when me wife an me
babie bav notink.”
Warden Baker says he is one of the most
obedient prisoners under his charge.
Mrs. Cleveland's Luncheon of Bread,
Butter and Raw Tomatoes.
From the Baltimore American.
Philadelphia, Oct. I.—Mrs. Cleveland
was pretty well worn out when she started
for Washington at nearly midnight on the
occasion of her recent visit to this city. She
had just come from the big dinner given to
the President by the Historical Society of
Pennsylvania and other learned bodies.
While her husband and the other guests on
the floor were discussing a superb menu she
and a coterie of other ladies looked on from
the Prince of Wales’ box, and had nothing
more thrilling than the substance of many
laudatory speeches.
She had her mind, however, on a good,
solid luncheon on the way home, as an order
had been left at a fashionable hotel near by
for something uncommonly good. As she
was seated in her compartment of the
drawing-room car that President Roberts
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
placed at her disposal, and the train was
about to start, the French head waiter from
the hotel came in with his face as sad look
ing as a figure on a tombstone.
“Madam!" he exclaimed; “madam, some
thing terrible has happened! Ah, very
terrible!”
“What?’ asked the President's wife, in
alarm, her face beginning to pale.
“You remember the luncheon!”
“Well?’
“We came with it here too soon. There
was no fire here anywhere, and we were for
bidden to make one, for fear of filling the
depot with smoke, and so rendering it objec
tionable to your nostrils, Madam.”
“Yes.”
“And so we sent it back to the hotel to
keep it warm. My waiters, who have just
come from the hotel with wraps for some
of the ladies, were not informed, and so they
have left the luncheon behind.”
“Oh, it is nothing,” answered Mrs. Cleve
land, with the spirit of ’a martyr. “We
shall thrive; but dear me, lam hungry. I
forgive you now; but is ihere really nothing
to eat on the car?’
“Nothing, madam.”
“Nothing t ”
“Except, madam, some bread.”
“Bread! Then we’re all right."
“And some butter, madam.”
“Good!”
“And some tomatoes. We intended them
for salad.”
“Tomatoes? We revel in luxury.”
Off the train started, and f°r half an hour
afterward, apparently, the first lady of the
land gayly munched bread and butter and
raw tomatoes. She expressed only one
regret—that there was no salt for the to
matoes.
How Bismarck Became the Capital of
Dakota Territory.
Front the Chicago Tribune.
A story is told of a game of poker that
moved the capital of Dakota. It was at
that memorable winter session at Yankton
where several towns were flitted against
one another as to which should secure the
coveted honor, it happened that two tow ns
were tied on the vote, and a single addi
tional ballot would have secured the prize
for either. It was in this condition of affairs
that a job was put up to secure the single
lacking vote by inveigling a poker-loving
member into a game of draw.
There were four iu the party—three from
one of the rival towns and the proposed
victim from the other. The game was in
an upper room of a hotel, and play was
high and furious, as the participants had
full nurses. The great game was after
awhile opened with SIOO in the pot, It had
liecti agreed to give the victim a line hand,
and to give one of the other three conspira
tors a hand that would beat it. He got the
hand, looked at it and said, as lie raised the
ante: “It will takes3oo to draw cards."
The other two conspirators passed out,
and the victim raised S2OO. They seesawed
until $2,000 was up, when they drew. The
conspirator took one card to four kings.
The victim hesitated, and finally took
three. Then the betting began, and did
not stop till $2,000 more was on the table.
Then the conspirator made his side oven
and said;
“I am out of money, but I’ll raise you
100 acres of land in Beadle county. No, I
won’t, either, but I’ll tell you what I will
do—l’ll bet you my vote on the capital.”
“Done,” said the victim, and the hands
were spread out. The conspirator hail four
kings and retujhtvl for the pot.
“Hold on,” said the victim, ns lie laid
down four aces. “Your vote will bring the
capital to Bismarck,” and it did.
Ilis hand had been a queen full on aces,
and he discarded the queens, but where he
got the aces nobody could tell.
The Richest Man in the World
would be floor without health. The dj ing
millionaire consumptive would exchange all
he is worth for anew lease of life. He
could have had it for a song had housed Dr.
Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery” before
the disease had reached its last stages.
This wonderful preparation is a positive
cure for consumption if taken in time. For
all diseases of the throat and lungs it is uu
