E. Dallln, the noted Boston tcul ptor, who Is a native ot Utah.

Just SO years ago the cornerstone ot this unique structure, standing alone among American religious Ins tltuttont was laid amidst the most impressive ceroiuonloj.

On reaching the site the Mor mon president accompanied by the apos tles procooded to the spot and striking bis cane In the earth, suld: "Here will be the temple of our God. Here are the 40 acres for the temple. The city can be laid out perfectly square norm ana south, east and west." At 8 P. M. the entire body of pioneer set convened on the templo grounds ana ratified by ununimous vote the action taken by tholr leader.

Tho laying of tho cornerstone, which took place April 6, 1h53, was symbolized by unfurling the Deserel national flag; the Nauvoo ana other nanus enlivened the air. The procession moved through the future town anu formed tue most curious spec tacle ever witnessed on this continent. For many years all rock used in the build ing ot the temple was hauled from the ouarrlos la Little Cottonwood canyon by cx to ana hi this way it frequently took rour uayt to onng a single rock from the quarry to tne temple block. The In vasion of Johnston's army In 1K97, culled tue siormuii war, anu many other inci dents Interrupted the work which has practically been done within the lust IS years. While the building bat boon under the supervision of tovornl architects, the designer, in fact, was Brlgham Young him self.

The massive structure of the walls and tho peculiar Hlyle of the architecture us shown In the accompanying rut renders It not at all Improbable that Brlgham Young in aesigning 11 had an eye to its possible utility as a fort in case of war as well as Ut availability for the worhlp of God accord ing to the ritual of the Hoot of Mormon. on the southeast corner of the temple tuofk, between the temple and the tabor. nacln, both of which be built, a heroic statue In bronze of Itrlgham Young will be erected.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER BOYLE'S FLAX, The first election under toe Baker ballon law It In progrets at McKees Eockt, and the new borough on the Ohio It the center of attraction to politiclani throughout Allegheny county. The entire population at tome time time to-day, it it tafe to tayr visited the polling place, which it at Lewi Roll's restaurant near tbe Pittsburg Lake Erie railroad nation. Many polltl. clam who wanted to witness an election conductod uryl or the new law, visited tbe little town. County Commissioner Boyle superintended the arrange- bient ot the voting bootbi late' evening; Representative Weaver aid I Webb Murray went down thit morning, i There was a large crowd around tbe polls, but good order prevallod.

Those who did the electioneering worked under great difficulty, being compelled tons "specimen" ballots and then bad to trait to tbo honesty of tbe voter to cast bit ticket al desired. At 11:15 o'clock 176 ballots bad been cast. Indicating that a very heavy vote would he polled. Tbe election moved smoothly, showing that tbe offlceri understood their duties, but It Is anticipated that many ballots, Improperly prepared, will be cast. County Commissioner Boyle Introduced an Innovation that contributed greatly to facilitate tho receiving of tickets.

Inttead of the Juugo of election being seated at the end ot the table farthest from the gnard rail, be wai located at the entrance to tbe voting tpace. Tbut placed, tbe judge wai enabled to conduct tbe examination of challenged votes and not Interfere with others who wantod to catt their ballott. Tbe guard rail, which is a heavy chain. It stretched across tbe room, a tew feet from the door. The table at which the election officers are located Is In the middle ot the room.

The Judge ttts at the end of the table and at each side Is a clerk. Also at the tide ot the table, near tue ballot box, are the two Inspectors. Tbe ballot box, which is about two feet square, it on another table at the end of tne officer', table. There are 15 booths, and they extend along two tldei of tbe room, with; a tbo guard rail. Not moro than 10 voters are permitted at one time Inside of tne room, outside of the guard rail, not Including the watches.

A voter approaches the guard-rail entrance, anuuuncet hit nunm and place of residence, and If hit name iappears on the ballot check list and he it not challenged, be then enters the voting space, obtains a folded ballot from one ot the clerks, and then enters one ot the booths. He Is allowed only three minutes to prepare hi ballot. He has tue right to ask the Judge to appoint tome person to assist hi in In the preparation ot bis ballot. After bit ballot bus been prepared be then gives it to one or the Inspectors, who ruarxs the number and deposits it In the box, after the other Inspector makes the proper entry on the voting check list. The voter then goos to the opposite side ot the table and pusses out or the room.

When the polls opened this morning at 7 o'clock there was great rivalry among tbe voters to cast the first ballot In this state under the Dew law. Frank Thomson, wa tne fortunate person, anu he is proud ot the honor. The members of tho board conducting tbe election to-day ure: Judge, Thomas Boyd; minority inspector, James Talbot; majority inspector, John Zinkior; clerk. Hugh Rodger and Albert Smith. The watches chosen by the different parties wore John Muioney and John Cuugheytor tho Citizen' candidates Mark Tucker and Joseph Kiel for the Triple Alliance candidates, and 'Squire Byron appeared in the role of watcher fur tue Tax Reform candidate.

Tbe Republican and Democratic candidate were the same, with the exception of election Inspectors, ana occupy two columns. The names of the citizens' candidates occupy another column, but the names of some of tho opposition candidate also appear In the same list. There Is no headline to designate the citizens' ticket a.nd as a result the candidates and their friends ar very bitter. They claim that the opposition put up a Job on them. To vote for the citizens' each name must be marked, whoreat one mark utthe top of the column containing the names or the candidates or eituer tue Republicans or Democrat! It all that 11 ueeossary.

NO AMEHICAN l'OPE. Uisbop llortemnu Talks on the Al- fairs of the Cburob. Bishop Hortsman, the newly consecrated bishop of the Cleveland diocese of the Catholic church, was a passenger on the Ft. Wnyne expross, westbound, this morn ing. Ho hat been visiting bit brother In I'bliadolphla and Is returning to Cleveland.

In conversation with a l'BE88 re porter Bishop Hortsman slid: "My reception at Cleveland wai very gratifying Indeed, and though 1 have only been In that city six weeks I am much t'leased with the people, ana believe I shall like my office there very much. The people are kino ana nospicaoie to a marked degree, and my labors among tuem will not be burdensome In the lest." Speaking of the leading lights of the church Bishop Horstman said: 'I regard Cardinal Gibbons ana Bishop Ireland two of the brightest men In the country. Thoy are active, energetic and alive to the needs ana best Interests ot the church. They are great men, and It would be needless to say their efforts are being appreciated." "Will the head of the church ever be brought to America?" asked the reporter. "No, I think not.

The great body of the Catholic church Is In the old world, and I' think the pi will remain there. It would doubtless create a serious disturbance to attempt to have the holy see removed to this country." "Do you think Cardinal Gibbon will ever be pope?" no; there are otners wno stand oe-tween him and that office. On wnom the honor win tall I do not know, but It will be omaone la the old world. Speaking of the pope.do you know, Pope Leo Is a wonderful mail, I don't know man In the church that ha greater vital. lty.

He is nearly 85 years of uge, but he It till active and take as lively an Interest In the affairs of the world as be did In hit younger days. Not a single person In tue church is better posted tuan ho, nnd bo now nearly as much about amirs in tills country as we do ourselves. We will have to go a good ways to flud bit equal, canassurayou." WITn THE TERROR OF DEATH. Trent Townsmen Not Anxions to Encounter the Murderers. MILLER IS HIDING VERY NEAR More of ilocbstetler's Friends Said be Slated to Die.

to FISIIER LEADS A POSSE TO IDE HILLS. Somerset, April for wn at might bo charitably termed back' wardness on the part of toe men who have frequently said tbat they were willing to bunt Miller and I'rltts Into tholr graves those red-handed murderers would In all probability have been prisoner before now. A note was received at Tren postofflce from William 0. Miller about o'clock yesterday afternoon, Its contents relating to a certain business transaction which is explained below. The note was brought to the postofflce by Miller's two small daughters, aged about 13 and 16 years respectively.

The matter at once reported to Constable ton Berg, U. C. Ilochstetler a number of niea who wore at was Mil and the postofllc at the time, but for some reason they decided after much discussion that they would not attempt to capture the murderers, who, there can be no doubt, were at that time not three miles distant. The little settlement of Trent lies on Laurel Hill creek, not a distance of above 11 miles from here and three from the scene of the murder. About the first discovery that made on visiting the place was that the effort on the part of the people ot the set tlement to capture Miller aud i'rltts had practically been abandoned.

Constable Berg and the other men who were stand ing about In the postofflce acknowl edged that the hunt had not been renewed slnco the sheriff's posse left Sunday morning. They did not know whether or not any men were stationed In the hills keeping a loo kout for the fugl tlves, and did not seem to like being quos tloned on the subject. All of the men were sure that the lugitlves wore within a distance of turee or tour miles or Trent and one of the men said that there cuuld be no doubt that Miller bad visited his home once or twice since the murder was committed. Despite this, with the excep tion of two young iellows who are em ployed In a saw mill near by, not one of the group seemed to be willing even to contemplate a continuance of tin man taunt, the simple lact mat-tor Is that there are scarcely a baltdoxonon tbat mountain In the moon shine district who have norvo enough to strike out into the woods and try to cap ture the murderers. This statement Is more than substantiated by the action of the men yesterday afternoon, wtien Ml ler's two daughters appeared at the small nostomce and general store over which A.

ii. Brugb presides. After they hud uimls a tew purchases they presented to Mr, Brugb a scrap ot paper on which were In scribed two messages. The first one whs dated March ill, and had been written by Mr. Brugh to W.

suld: "led- row owed Abe Fletcher some money and Fletcher was Indebted to Miller. Tedrow loit the money which was a Utile over 811, with me, out told me not to pay It over to anybody wunout an order. 1 tola the little girts about this, and told them to tell their father." The Iris were questioned and that tnelr father hau given tuem the note. They wouldn't say wuore tliey had re-celved It, except mat It was a good bit ago, and when questioned refused to answer except in monosyllables ana suspicious giauces. xueir whole manner plainly Indicated that they bad been told to answer 110 questions, and they soon leit the store rather hurriedly and disappeared up iho mountain road.

Miller's part ot the note baa evidently been written very hastily, the paper bjlng held upon some soft substance, as the pent 11 had frequently punctured the paper. I asked Mr. Brugh If lie had any ut Miller's handwriting about the store, and he snowed me an order for some gro-cerltts which the fugitive had wrlttun some weeks ago. I compared the order and th note, 1. ml there can be no doubt that both were written by the same person.

The receipt of this note was at once reported to Constable Berg, but ho dlu not seem ut all inclined 10 act upon the hint thrown out. lie was urgea to tukoti orb men up into the mountain and surround Miller's house, as It was evident that Miller was near uy, or his daughters would not have been In possession of the note, but both he and young ilochstetler and heveral tt the farmers wao were standing about wliu Winchesters or shot guns in their hands evidently did not like to consider such a and dually frankly couiessed that they were afraid to make the alteui pt. They said that tliey were already spotted, and uilgut be shot down without moment's warning. They preferred turning the Job over to the government 1 Ulcers. Sunday Ahe Fletcher, a warm friend to the luglllves, appeared at the little church, near Trent, Justus services were over, and told one of 'William Ilocbstetler's children that Miller aud Frlttt wanted to meet the Ilochstetler at an old sawmill upon tne mountain, about five miles trom Trent.

Fletcher said that he would carry the answer to Miller, giving the time when Ilochstetler would be ou band at the appointed place. I saw Hocti-stetler at the Trent postofflce. lie bellevus It was a plan to draw him into an ambuscade, and said that he would send some one else In tils place, hoping In this war to eaten the murderers In the trap which they had set for film. A posse ot several men were to accompauy the substitute. Ilochstetler is a nephew of the murdered man and is said to be afraid Df his own shadow since he received word from the fugitives that he mlgnt consider lnmselr next on the list.

His very expression is that ot a man who know that he is being hunted to death. He never walks In the roads, but skulks along In the shadow ot the fences, keeping In the woods a much as possible, lie was very suspicious about the reporter of a Pittsburg morning paper who was at Trent. Constable Borg told me that when the reporter left for Centervllle ilochstetler remarked to blm that he was positive that the newspaper 11.an was a detective who was shadowlug him.

In the case ot Slioonbsrger ft Tf. the Equitable 0 at company, Judge Ewlng this morning handed down an opinion which tt Importunt to natural gat con sumers.

The plaintiff bad a contract with the defendant company to supply them with gat, but thore was a clause In tbo contract to the effect that the contract should become void it the supply decreased to tuch an extent that gat could not be furnished. At the tl ins of the mak ing of the contract the production was 0.000,000 feet por day, and at the time notice of the proposed shut-on the supply had been reduced to something like feet. The plaintiffs sought to restrain the defendant company from shutting off the gas by bill In equity, and a preliminary Injunction wus granted pending a llnal hearing. The master round in favor of the defendant, und the opinion of Judge Kwing sustain tue master, iuo court tayt: "A shortage or gas belonging to aorena-ant company wherewith to supply the Plaintiff under the terms of their contract I established. This shortage teems likely to be permanent It may not be so.

Under the contract, which Is for a permanent supply ot gat Is preferred to tho general public, and at a price below the market value, aud under the tacts found by tho master, wo are of the opinion that the bill ot plaintiff should be dismissed without prejudice to their right to maintain an action at law for aamngos, or to me another bill under changed circumstances and condition.

Assistant Postmaster Edwards was asked yesterday regarding the Ilochstetler murder, and be gave a very interesting narrative regarding the actions of the deceasod, the murderer. Miller, Fletcher and others. "I was goneral deputy collector under Frank Case, and one ot my last official acts was the raiding of the still ot Uochstetler.

In this raid I was accompanied by lntornul Revenue Agent l'lnmmor, who now the of the United Brutes senate. We seized the still and worm, destroyed the rude distillery and brought the worm to l'lttsburg. Ilochstetler was caught, convicted and sent to the penitentiary for this crime. His detection was brought about in a rather queer way. Ilochstetler had been selling bogs to the different registered distilleries in that district, and this fact led to his capture.

The slop trom a dlstlllory Is distasteful to the average hog, and tney have to acquire 11 taste lor such food. When Ilochstetler' hogs were delivered at the distilleries It was noticed that they at once tuckled the slops like old stock. This fuTci bolng brought to the attention of tne revenue olllcers, they at once caught Ilochstetler; anu he was probably the first man In the western district of Pennsylvania to be sent to tne penitentiary by his hogs. "Abe 1'ietcuer, an old-time moonshiner and one of Hochstutler and Miller's partners, ran a regular registered distillery at one lime before tue Sixteenth Internal revenue district was consolidated. Ills distillery was the means ot getting more fine stills into the Somerset district, i'lutchor would order them, aud the fact that ho was running a registered distillery disarmed the revenue officers lrom suspecting him.

l'letcher ran this distillery for some time and used to make regular visits to Collector Scull's office, and always complained that the moonshiners cut nit harness and siole his things. One day a storekeeper and gauger visited the distillery and round tho place completely gutted, the still, worm, whisky and everything being gone, l'letcher rlalmed the moonshiners had committed tun deed, but the government made Gen Koontss pay the tax, at be was on l'letcher' bond. "In '83 or 'bi, In company with Collector Case and Major Graham, we raided the still operated by a man named l'eck, situated a mile from I'letchur's, three miles fr Ilocbstetler's and two irom Miller's. We recovered the still aud urn stolen from the Fletcher distillery. "Old man Miller, the murderer of Ilochstetler, 1 a queer genius, lie usod to wear a half moon, cut trom tin, pinned to hi bat.

He always goes armed, carrying bis revolver In his boots, and Is generally feared by the people In bis neighborhood. "Miller, In spite of the terror he bus In spired among his neighbors. Is a rgular coward, aud he showed this when he was arrested. He never would have faced Hocbstetlur alone, aud only did so when he had others to back him up. The Idea tbat moonshiners are crave Is wrong, as they win never face a posse unless they outnumber them largeiy.
