AK a rule our streets havo un fsxctilliMit natural foundation of clean gravel, the iittrfacu of which Ims during tin; forty years been subjected to a process of Krimlinu by'the wheels.of passing vehicles and as result" we now have a covering several inches in thickness of -finely powdered, stone which in sttmiriur is an unbearable dust, in winter (in iiiipnssjihlu mud, and at uil seasons a detriment and disgrace lo our citv.

Tin: continued inhalation of tlii.s polluted dust is u. menace to the public health, and the concern of every thought- I suggest, ae a means of lessening both the dust nnd mud and at tho saino time advancing a step in the direction of permanent pavemeiit.s, tliai, our sl.reet surfaces generally be reduceu bv cutting them clown four to six inches, or to sucli depth as will remove tho wornout material ana e.xposft a new surface of clean gravel, winch properly dressed und rolled can be made equal, or bur 1'lttlo Inferior, to a macadam pavement, and ut intlnitely less cost.

AH each successive surface shall become worn out, it can in llKO manner be removed, until the proper sub-grade shall have been reac.hed, when the permanent pavement can be put down without any direct outlay for graduation. In tho meantime- we win have had all the benefits of streets as free from dust or mud as can bo expected from macadam pavements. As y.general proposition tho wornout material of our street surface should be carefully gathered up and removed, in place of being buried, with all the absorbed filth that it contains, under a covering of new material hauled long distances at. groat cost. The plan of cutting down instead of filling up to maintain smooth surfaces, will on most of our streets prove the cheapest, and is unquestionably tbo sanitary method.

I recommend it for al streets having natural gravel foundations, and especially on streets thar, require cutting down to admlt'of permanent pavements. Respectfully, A. F. DOKEMUS. PGTfTtONS oamo In, as usual, and us a rule asked for ovoi-ything tho City Council could grant.

Allen, a judge of" election In the Fourth precinct during tho re- corit school election, came up yesterday in Commissioner Greenmari's Dickie Youns, tlio principal wit-ness, was on hand and was represented by Assistant County Attorney Eastman. In a shore tlnio Messrs. McCallum and Kessler appeared in behalf of the defendants, and' asked that a continuance bo granted on tbo grounds that defendant's counsel, Judge Powers, Judgo Dickson, Mr.

Ferguson and Parley Williams wore unable to bo present, and that tho defendant was unable to go to trial on that account. Mr. Young arose to remark that ho had no objections to a continuance, but that he bad believed the defendant Avould waive examination or ho would have for sub- pcenas for 150 witnesses that lie expected to introduce. But tho defendant wasn't trying to evade an examination, and McCallum so announced; wherounon. Mr.

Eastman declared that it would, tako four or five days to examine tho witnesses "for the prosecution. And when McCallum informed him that the defense had between three and four hundred witnesses, the court looked wild, and at onco consulted a catalogue of lightning type-writing machines. Dick suggested that tbo Court get a new soon, because there was going to bo some fuu. Ho knew lie had been elected, so bo did. because every man bo had talked to since had told him ho voted for him, and ho had talked to lots of people, so he bad.

It was finally agreed to tho hearing until Friday at 2 p'. m. Tho bearing will doubtless occupy two or three days. NO TTIAOE 0.1T A FUGITIVE. Mrs.

Wilhelminn Brooks of Logan has been about tho streets since Sunday, from sunrise to sunset, looking for the divorced partner of her sorrows and the boy ho has got away with. The Probate Court awarded her that boy when tho decree was granted live yours but tho old man has proved too quick for her, and skipped off with tbe youth the other day from Provo whero his mother was visiting her sister. Mrs. Brooks has discovered- where Brooks lived on Third South bub also discovered to her sorrow that bo bad sold his furniture and tripped gaily away with tho child, leaving her disconsolate. An expressman moved his things, but who expressman is would bankrupt a prize-rebus fiend.

Mrs. Brooks has been to tho Police and United States Marshals, but still the youth is not. Sho regards Mr. Brooks as a of Richard m. Slip will be for a few days in Provo and tlien go'homo broken-hearted to Logan.

NOT ITjLKGATj. A. Cowles, a former resident of tbo Sunflower cqrtimonly called Kansas, was before Commissioner Norrell yesterday charged with illegal, registration. Tho information-was swon.i,..out by his employer, Contractor. It was claimed that Cowies had only resided in Utah since March, 1S90.

As a-defense lie set up that ha came hero In May 30,1889. and that he continued to livo here until March, 1SOO, when ho wont back homo for two weeks to dispose of his stock amd homestead preparatory to moving to Salt Lake. The Commissioner held the defense a good one and tho man was discharged. AN UNSAVORY CASE. To-day at 2 o'clock Messrs.

French Sowers of theUIntab Hotel and sundry of tho boarders will appear In Commissioner court as witnesses against a lot of Mauds, FrankJes, Birdies and Sadies who havo for a time occupied tho three stories above tho Timed office on Commercial street. Tho complaint against thorn was filed by Attorney Critchlow yesterday, and alleges that the sirens aforesaid aro naughty girls and that they ply their vocation in tho building mentioned, that is contrary to tho statutes and must stopped. Messrs. French Sowers are interested -in getting thorn out of tho building, because their presence atl'octs the CJintah trade.

Tho caso promises to be full of Interesting situations. ANOTHER. WIPB-BlSATEtt. William Thompson, tho man whom THE TRIBUNE referred to a day or two ago as being tho prospective defendant in a dl- vnrco case, was arrested yesterday, charged with brutally beating his wife. He was taken before Commissioner Grcenman, and, in default of bail, sent to tho Penitentiary to await trial.

Thompson is an English- cockney and was married to his wifo Jn-London. For a time the woman put up with his outrageous conduct, but iinally concluded that she could stand it no longer and loft him to join her mother in Brooklyn, N. Y. Her husband soon followed her, arid upon arriving in America promised to reform. But bo didivt, and his wife again loft to co'mo with her mother to Salt Lake.

Thompson came on. after a time, and by various promises induced her to raako another attempt to put up with him; but all efforts were unavailing. On Monday Thompson got up in his wrath and chastized her. She thereupon had him arrested, and yesterday he was put behind the bars, ilorc.bo broke down and bogged hard to be forgiven, but the little woman was obdurate. Mrs.

Thompson is a delicate, sweet little woman and' has a very pretey little baby. Three others havo died. for divorce which will be filed in a'day or two will allege some very startling facts, any oneof would be sufficient upon which to base a Third DiEtrict Court. Tbc following business was transacted In tlio District Court yesterday: Jens Larson was admitted to citizenship, after which tho case of James W. Carrigan vs.

R. G. McNieco et al. came up on a motion of defendants for a new trial which was granted. In tho case of Sophia vs.

Tho. property affected is owned by about twenty-live The petition sets up tbo fact that by widening and sbra.ljjhtouing tho alloy and making of it a street, all the adjacent realty would be greatly." benefited and its valuo'enlwnced. The matter will bo brought to the attention of the Court'in a day or two, at which time a description of all the property, together witli a plat profile of the proposed street will- be submitted.

who has been availing himself of tho privileges of his religion until he ran against a snag In tho way of deputy marshals. Tho other morning Benuott and Kedfield went out for Jenkins, but Jcauotto Jenkins, his aged and legal wife, camo to the door and declared ho was at home. Three or four small children were in the house and a babo five weeks old was in tho old lady's arms. To a question by tbo deputy the aged matron, 'who has crossed the boundary of three-score years, replied that they wero all hoi's. This of course silenced the marshal, who had lived long enough in Utah to know that such little occurrences arc matters of every day note, but a pair of the old man's shoos caught his eye, and he commenced an investigation.

Under tho bed and in every possible place lie could think of, but no Jenkins. At last a rip in tho carpet was noticed, and pulling it to one side ho found a trapdoor. It was only a mi mile's work to open tlio trap and haul out old man Jenkins, together with tho genuine mother of tho baby that tho old woman bad endeavored to palm oil' her own. Yesterday afternoon Jenkins was brought before Commissioner 1-1 ill on a charge of adultery, and tho evidence of his legal and plural wifo being plain and direct, bo was bound over to answer to the grand jury in a bond of SlOOO and his plural as a witness in tho sum of StiOO.

BUikDINO IML'KOVKMIENTS. The foundations of the great Walker building are far enough along to give some idea as to wbat a fine structure It will bo. Active work begins tbis week tearing down the small buildings' on East First South street occupied so long by the Culmers and by Charlie Auer. The Culmers will put up a t-hrec-story business building there at an early day. Walker Bros, yesterday began the work of tearing down tho old.

building in rear of tho St. Elmo Hotel, on Third South. Tho structure is one of the in Salt Lake, and will be supplanted by a new business block three stories in height. C. Sura Nichols of the Mornina Miiror will inside tho next few days be compelled to move his office.

The Burlington people havo decided to erect an oflice building on tbe site now occupied by the- Mirror, which will be two stories in night, sovcnly- four feet deep by sixty. The lower part will bo occupied as storerooms while the railroad company will occupy tho upper story with its ollices. COAL AND COKE COMPANY. The Emery Coal and Coke Company Is a recently formed organization of which T. P.

Murray Is president. The Jiew corporation is formed principally of Salt Lake men and tbo mines of coal and iron which they propose to develop aro enormous. They aro situated near that is the iron mines arc, and tho deposits are very rich. The coal deposits are In Emery county in Huntington cauon and comprise 3200 acres of land with numerous veins, one of which is 8 and the other 11 feet thick. A lino of railroad will be surveyed up Runtington cauon to the summit and thence- down Salt Creek canon to Ncphi.

The affair is yet in embryo, but will be pushed soon, according to all accounts. UNDEIIWUIXERS' ASSOCIATION. The various insurance agents of this city have decided to organize an underwriters' association, which will bo formed at an early date, active preparations now being tinder way. The agents claim that such a body Is absolutely necessary as a matter of convcnienccif nothing else. All other cities have similar organizations, and they arc of great service, not only to the insurance men but to the insured.

UNION There is little more trouble in the Plumbers' Union of tbis city, and while it Is not of a. serious character it involves a delicate point in unionism. A short time ago several of the men employed by David James were lined by tbe union for conduct not in accord with the principles of tbo union. They refused to submit to the fine and tbe plumbers suspended them. Then a committee from the union' called on Mr.

James and informed him that the men were non-union and asked him to refuse to employ them longer. He declined, and. Moudny the men as a union refused to go to work. Negotiations were at once entered into by the men and the Master Plumbers, and yesterday the latter decided to sustain the journeymen. The result of the entire affair is that tho men employed by James will settle up and tbat harmony will once more reign.

Taluiable A J.KAK IN JAY OFKICK. There is evidently a leak in Jay Gould's Now York Is giving out the work. Recent Associated Press papers contained a Kansas City dispatch announcing that a private dispatch from Now York stated that, Gould had wired H. P. Waggoner of Atchison, the Missouri Pacific general attorney, lo bring a suit to compel the Kansas City Union Oep'ot Company to admit the passenger trains of the Kansas City, Wyandot-to Northwestern road to tlio depot over the Missouri Pacific tracks.

Mr. Waggoner denied that he hud ro- any such dispatch, and said that ho did not think ho would bo called upon to take any part in tho controversy. Last night tho dispatch arrived and Mr. Wag- go nor will bring tho suit as stated. As the dispatch did not reach its destination until twenty-four hours after its publication by the Associated Press, it is very certain that somebody in Gould's otllco is selling or giving away news.

A BIO URIIX5E. Portland dispatch, August 1st: Georgo S. Morrison, chief engineer of the Union Pacific Company's bridge across tho Columbia, on tho road to the Sound, is In this city. His plans for tho bridge aro about completed, and work will be begun as soon as nil legal obstacles to its construction aro removed. The bridge will bo of stciM, with an upper roadway for wagons, and will bo much tho largest west; of tnc Kockies.

Tho raw will be one of tho longest In tho world, being feet long, 50 feet high and 22 foot wide, Tho draw openings wijl bo 200 fcot wide In. the clear. The cost of the bridge will bo $7,000.000. Working gangs are strung along tho lino of tho from Vancouver to Kalama, and a large foreo Is at work 011 tho road between Olympia and Tacoma. THE COAL, THO1T11L13S.

Officials of tlio Union Pacific havo stated repeatedly thai tho trouble among tholr coal minors at Rock Springs was virtually settled und that work has been resumed. This statement Is only partially correct. About one week ago. General Manaser belts of the coal department gave notice to the miners that they could continue work until August 1st under tho old rule. Ac that time, he assured them prices tinder tho screening system would bo agreed upon; also that in no case shall tho prices fixed bo such as to either roduco or Increase tho wages.

On tho strength of this assurance, all i-he English-speaking miners and tho Chinamen returned to work, but tho Finns, Austrians and Italians remained out. Another, and what may prove a serious difficulty has been encountered. It is now charged that tlio company Is having its big engines on tho Wyoming divisions supplied with firo boxes which will burn coal screenings. Inasmuch therefore as tho miners, under the screoji system will j-oceivo no pay for mining screening or steam coal, they naturally protest against) tho company making such, uso of it. They claim that this Is a scheme on.

tho part of tho company to get as much fuel 'as possible for nothing or almost nothing because tbe cost of this material is estimated at not more than 10 cents per ton.
