THE CONVICT'S IMPORTANT SECRET.
Sensational Development in the Trial of
a Criminal In th. Utak Prison—Why
KlTort. Were Made ln Hi. Be
half, Without Friends.
Salt Lake, April 19.—Enoch Davis
lies in the Utah penitentiary awaiting
the death sentence as an atonement for
the murder of his wife. He is a poor
man, without friends. His case was
appealed to the supreme court of the
United States, and the decision of the
lower courts, ordering the infliction of
the death penalty, was sustained.
People of the Territory who are con
versant with the facts connected with
the cruel murder for which he was
tried are anxious to know why he is
not executed, and are equally con
cerned about the cause for so much as
sistance having been rendered in at
tempts to secure an acquittal by prom
inent men.
It now comes to light that this is the
only known living person who owns
the secret to a great gold treasure hid
den in the dark canyons of the Wah
satcb mountains. The gold fields are
supposed to be the richest in the great
west. They are situated in an almost
gorge, about sixty-five miles east of
Salt Lake City, on the Uintah Indian
reservation. The Indians will not per
mit prospectors to pass within five
miles of the alleged treasure vaults.
The American Asphalt company, com
posed of Denver and New York capi
talists, almost succeeded last spring in
securing a lease upon these lands for
the ostensible purpose of working the
deposits of a nhaltum. Some inter
ested pa.-' thought the company in
tended to seek for gold, and. through
the e • r ' , legate Rawlins, pre
vented t u> being granted.
Several m men of Salt Lake ( ity
are very mu ited over the s' ry.
A man in Sa : a county has the ly
diagram m. Davis descripth s of
the country, h e prisoner has offered
to go in shea i:h and chains to the old
sluices worked by old man Rhodes
years ago Ihe is assured protection
and his life is spared. The old timers
of Utah have looked longingly at those
canyons for my years in the liopo
that some day they might be permitted
to inspect the supposed rich pockets of
go\d.
THE 10 PER CENT BANK TAX.
Mr. Swanson, of Virginia, Has Foiled th#
Democrats of the House.
Washington, April 19.—Mr. Swan
son, of Virginia, who has been making
a poll of the democrats of the house
relative to a bill repealing the 10 per
cent bank tax, says that 121 democrats
favor unconditional repeal, 37 express
themselves for repeal with safe restric
tions; 31 are opposed to any measure,
believing only in the extension of a na
tional banking system, while of the re
maining democrats, some have no opin
ion upon the subject and the rest are
absent from the city.
Mr. Swanson finds, however, that
only about ten democrats who favor
unconditional repeal will refuse to vote
for a compromise measure based on the
lines suggested by him in these dis
patches.
PHOSPHATE FIND IN TENNESSEE.
Long Knowledge of the Deposit and Ignor
ance of the Value.
Chattanooga, April 19. —A tremend
ous phosphate deposit has been discov
ered in Bradley county, Tenn., about
twenty miles above Chattanooga. The
vein so far as known is sixteen feet
wide and about nine miles long, the
depth not having been ascertained.
The owners of the property have known
of this deposit ever since the war, but
until a week ago, never knew what the
strange substance was. They have re
peatedly tried to burn it for coal. There
is considerable excitement over the
discovery.

FAILURE OF MARK TWAIN’S FIRM.
Charles L. Webster & Cos.. Publishers, Are
Hr.ven to tbe Wall.
Nf:w York, April T 9 assign
ment of Samuel L. Clemens (Mark
Twain) and his partner, Frederick J.
Hall, who compose the firm of Charles
L. Webster <fc Cos., hook publishers at
07 Fifth avenue, was tiled in the county
clerk's office yesterday just at the close
of business. The assignee is Bain
bridge Colby, of 40 Wall street, with
Stern & Rushmore, attorneys. The
assignment was without preference,
and the deed was signed by Mr. Clem
ens in this city.
Bradstreets reports that the business
under the firm name of Charles L.
Webster & Cos. was started on May 1,
1884, by Charles Webster and his wife’s
uncle, Samuel L. Clemens. The firm
started in to publish the works of
Mark Twain, but afterwards added the
works of other authors, principally
subscription books. They also handled
miscellaneous books.
The financial strength of the firm
was centered in Mr. Clemens, who was
supposed to be worth several hundred
thousand dollars. Mr. Webster with
drew from the firm in 1888 and died on
April 26th, 1891. Frederick J. Hall
succeeded Mr. Webster in the firm
upon the latter’s withdrawal in 1888,
and has since continued as the active
manager of the firm’s business.
Besides Mark Twain’s works, the
firm published memories of General
Grant, the life of Pope Leo and other
books. In 1891 the firm began the pub
lication of the “Liberty of American
Literature,” in which it was under
stood they put SIOO,OOO and which tied
up a part of their capital.
They continued to have a subscrip
tion branch, but were making trade
books the feature of the business.
Their certain resources in the business
amount to $150,000 to $-?00,000 above
any debts. Mr. Clemens is worth from
$300,000 to $400,000 outside of his in
vestment in the firm.
TREATED TO A SURPRISE.
Representative Meyer Pre-cuts a Bill to
Bland's Committee.
■Washington, April in. Mr. Bland’s
coinage committee met yesterday for
the first time since the silver seignior
age struggle, and were treated to a
genuine surprise.
Representative Meyer. < f Louisiana,
was present to urge his Li ii for coining
the seigniorage and L r low interest
bonds, and in doing so he stated au
thoritatively that the in ensure had the
approval, and was uggested by,
Secretary Carlisle, and in the judgment
of the secretary would he signed by the
president. To this extent the bill was
regarded as an administrative one and
as satisfactorily overcoming 'the objec
tions of Mr. Cleveland’s veto of the
Bland bill.
The members of the committee came
together after many weeks, no meet
ings being called after the Bland seign
iorage bill was reported to the house.
There was a large attendance at this
meeting, however, Bland being in the
chair.
The measure was discussed, but no
conclusion was reached. Secretary
Carlisle was shown the statement made
in the coinage committee. He declined
to discuss the merits of the Meyer bilL
It is learned, however, that the bill, as
originally prepared, was presented to
Mr. Carlisle, who, at Myers’ request,
dictated a revision of it, the presump
tion being that, as revised, it met with
his approval. It is not believed, how
ever, that the matter has been brought
to the attention of the president, and
whether he would approve it if pre
sented to him, is problematical.

ANOTHER LABOR RIOT
Trouble Between the Detroit Wa
ter Board and Polish Laborers.
CULMINATES IN WAR TO DEATH.
The I.nborprK Spent a Restlens Night, Cau
cusing and Planning as to Further
Developments—More Trouble
is Hourly Expected.
Detroit, Mich., April 19. —The Polish
laborers spent an excited night and
held various meetings looking to some
steps as to yesterday’s trouble. This
trouble had been brewing between the
water board and the Polish laborers en
gaged to lay the pipe extensions east of
the waterworks, near Connor's creek,
four miles east of the cit3% over the
question of wages for some days.
These men were quarrelsome, and re
fused to go to work themselves or
allow anyone else to do so, but no
serious outbreak occurred.
Yesterday, however, an angry look
ing mob began to gather, and later
there were more than 500 men, carry
ing pick-axes and spades, patroling the
road. Four policemen were sworn in
as deputy sheriffs and a force of thir
teen men were put to w ork.
The strikers threatened to kill the
finst man who dared to attempt to do
am’ work, and wnen one of the men,
more daring than his fellow workmen,
jumped into the ditch, he was savagelj’
assaulted. The handful of deputies
were overpowered and the strikers
were left in possession for the time
being.
The mob further armed itself with
clubs and cudgels. Sheriff Collins was
telephoned for and hurried to the
scene, taking with him half a dozen
deputies. After a eonfei-ence with the
water board it was decided to abandon
the work for the day, and then the
clash came. When Engineer Williams
attempted to withdraw liis men peace
full y the strikers became furious and
made an onslaught on one of the men.
Sheriff Collins ordered the mob to
disperse, threatening to shoot if the
order was not obeyed. The mob ap
peared maddened, however, and con
tinued the attack. Then the sheriff
ordered his posse to fire. He suited
ac tion to the words, and tired three
shots from his own revolver in rapid
succession. This was the signal for a
yo lev from the deputies, who emptied
their revolvers at the,advancing mob.
Two strikers were shot dead and at
least fifteen others are more or less
dangerously wounded. This had a de
moralizing effect on the mob, and it
fell back.
Foreman Cathey then jumped into
the excavation and began taking up
the pump. One of the strikers yelled:
“Are we going to stand this? Let us
all strike together.”
At this speech there was a forward
rush of the strikers, who held their
shovels and picks aloft. Cathey was
struck a blow on the head, which
knocked him to the bottom of the exca
vation. Sheriff Collins waved his arms
wildly and fairly shrieked to the mob
to stand back, but his efforts were
wasted. No attention being paid to
what he said, instead of retreating, he
drew his revolver and aimed it point
blank at the crowd. He fired three
shots as rapidly as he could pull the
trigger. Then a long-handled shovel
upraised behind him, descended swiftly,
and a corner of it pierced his skull. He
was struck again and again, and was
probably fatally injured. Foreman
Cathey is also fatally injured.
One member of the waterworks po
lice was seriously cut. The two strik
ers killed and all the wounded are
Poles. The trouble is not yet over.
In the afternoon and evening deputy
sheriffs scoured the Polish quarter for
the rioters, and fifty of the lawbreakers
were gathered in. The corridors of
the jail were filled with them. About
6 o’clock a group of Polanders gath
ered about the jail and made ugly dem
onstrations. One of them was shot in
the leg by a deputy sheriff and was
carted off to a hospital. The crowd
about the jail, mostly spectators, con
tinued until midnight.
The Polish quarter is all excitement.
A meeting was arranged in a Polish
hall, from which it was declared the
Polanders would march to the jail and
wreck it, but the police were watchful
and the meeting did nor materialize.
Poisoned Her Relatives.
Antwerp, April 13. —Madame Marie
Therese Joniaux, wife of M. Henry
Joniaux. chief state engineer of roads
and bridges in the province of Ant
werp. has been arrested by the police
on a charge of having poisoned several
of her relatives in order to obtain the
amount of insurance on their lives.
As Madame Joniax occupied a promi
nent position in society at Antwerp
and in other social centres of the king
dom, her arrest has created a profound
sensation. The succession of sudden
deaths at Madame Joniaux's residence
of persons whose lives were insured for
her benefit aroused the suspicions of
the police, and their investigations have
developed overwhelming proof of her
guilt.
Electric Plant Burned. ,
Sacramento, Cal., April 19. —The en
tire electric plant of the Capital Gas
company, which holds contracts for
lighting the city and running street
cars, burned yesterday. Twenty-four
dynamos were burned and a half dozen
of the most powerful engines on the
coa6t were practically destroyed. The
plant was one of the largest on the
coast. Loss. S3OO,(KiO.
IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.
Prominent Railroad Men to Confer With
Governor Nortben, of Georgia.
Atlanta, April 19. —On Friday morn
ing a number of the most prominent
railway officials in the south will
gather in Governor Xorthen's office for
the purpose of consolidating upon a
plan to induce immigration into the
south.
Exactly what the character of the
meeting will be, especially since Gov
ernor Nortben will be present and will
take an active part, is not known. It
is stated from good authority that the
governor has an original plan to sug
gest which will bring about the hap
piest results along the lines of the pur
: poses of the meeting.
It is also pretty certain that all the
| leading Georgia railroads will combine
; and possibly appoint a man in charge
j of a railway immigration bureau,which
- shall be headquarters for information
|of travelers and prospectors in this di-
I rection, and which further shall be the
repository of the funds furnished by
j the various railroads,
j The action of various roads in other
I parts of the south than Georgia in get
i ting together, and making earnest ef
i forts to call the attention of the north
western, Norwegian and German pop
ulations to the south and her advan-
I tages of soil, climate and situation, has
spurred the Georgia roads to make
similar efforts.
CRIMINALS IN CAMP.
Coxey’s Advance Agent and Unknown
Smith Collect Money and Skip.
Hancock, Md., April 19. There was
a lively time after the commonweal
| reached Hancock. It was found that
I Pizarro Smith and “Cheek” Childs,
formerly the advance agent of the com
: monweal, had reached Hancock to
! gether, and representing themselves as
1 authorized agents of Coxey, had raised
j a considerable sum of money, how'
much -could not be learned, and de
camped for Williamsport, the next town
on the route.
Browne and Coxey at once issued a
manifesto to Charles Hubbert, sheriff,
| and the public, denouncing the recent
i commonwealers as imposters, and
asking their arrest should they be
! found. Childs, the advance agent, was
a young man of better appearance than
the average of the army, who had rep
resented the commonweal since the
start from Massillon, and consequently
had credentials from Coxey on which
the money was raised, lie is said to be
■ a nephew of H. C. Friek, of Homestead,
and has a bad record.
WILMINGTON PAYS A TRIBUTE.
' nthusiasltc Memorial Meeting Over the
■* Death of Senator Vance.
Wilmington, N. C., April 19.—Wil
mington responded grandly to the call
on her people to assemble and do honor
to the memory of the late Senator Z.
B. Vance. A full hour before the time
fixed for the meeting- the people were
gathering- in and around the opera
house, and by 3 p. m. the building was
filled to its utmost capacity with men,
women and children. The meeting was
called to order by Mayor Fishblate,
and opened with prayer by Rev. Dr.
P. H. Hoge.
Dr. T. S. Kingsbury presided, and

Waddell, C. W. McClammy, Colonel T.
G. Burr and T. B. Kingsbury.

Asheville, April 19.—The funeral

NO STRIKING FEATURES.
Small Cotton Market, With Disappointing
News to the Bulls From the South.
New York, April 19.—The Sun’s cot
ton report says:
It was a small market, with no
striking features. The early news was
disappointing to the bulls, both from
Liverpool and from the south. There
was no sharp fall in the temperature in
Texas reported, although it had been
predicted that there would be a drop
of 30 degress. Another depressing fac
tor was the large crop movement.
Prices declined slightly. An advance
followed on some local buying and the
covering of shorts. Later in the day
there was some disposition to realize,
and prices dropped slightly below the
final figures of Tuesday. Southwest
ern planting in some sections is several
weeks late.
GALLOWAY FOR GOVERNOR.
Oregon Democrats, In Convention, Endorse
the Administration of Cleveland.
Astoria, Ore., April 19.—The demo
cratic state convention met here yes
terday. The fight was over the chair
manship, the silver and anti-silver fac
tions being the contending parties.
Before a vote was taken, however, two
or three candidates withdrew, leaving
the field clear for Weatherford, a free
silver man. The platform, as finally
adopted, endorses the administration
of President Cleveland, favors an in
come tax,'declares for bimetalism with
out specifying free coinage, and up
holds the course of the party in con
gress i-s to tariff reform. Judge Wm,
G. Galloway, president of the state
board of agriculture, was nominated
for'g'overnor.

ROMANCE OF THREE PLANETS.
Joint Jacob Astor'* i chut an an Author
on Friday.
New York, April 19. The scientific
romance by John Jacob Astor, which
bears the alluring title of "A Journey
in Other Worlds; a Romance of the Fu
ture,” and which is to be published on
Friday by D. Appleton & Cos., is more
than likely to score a distinct popular
success and achieve widespread vogue
both as an amusing and interesting
story and a thoughtful endeavor to
prophesy some of the triumphs which
science is destined to win by the year
2000.
It is distinctly a story of the Jules
Verne class, and Mr. Astor has fol
lowed his great French guide into the
realm of imaginative scientific research
with a boldness that has developed
some vastly thrilling situations and re
vealed some amazingly interesting
features of life on the planets of Jupi
ter and Saturn, which are the regions
that he has chosen for his characters to
explore.
