Fully :0.000 Latter-Day saints will attend the dedicatory ceremonies at the temple to-day. From Canada to -Mexico, from Europe to the islands of the Pacific the saints have journeyed to this city. Thousands of tourists are coming into the city and the indications are that 00,000 visitors will witness the ceremonies at the temple.

Must lie Politicians.

The second day's session of the conference of the Chnrch of Latter Day Saints was opened Wednesday morning by Counsellor George-Q. Cannon. The tabernacle was again packed, standing room in the aisle being at a premium.

After prayer by Apostle John Taylor Apostle Frankiin D. Richards addressed the conference. Apostle Richards said he was trying to love his enemies: that he hoped eventually to arrive utthis condition of mind, but it was a hard road to travel just now. Brigham Young, Jr., was the next speaker. Apostle Young said that politics is as important to the Latter Day Saints as religion and should be so considered by the Mormon church. He predicted that the destiny of the Latter Day Saints is to become powerful politicians and that the saints will become the rulers of the world. Apostle Young reviewed the history of Mormondom from the Nauvoo proscription and expressed gratitude for the deliverance and prosperity of the saints.

WoodrulT (.lets Another Term. At the afternoon session of the conference 1'-!,000 people crowded into the tabernacle and'between 3,000 and 4,000 occupied Assembly hall, where an overflow meeting was held.

The exterior ot the temple wns completed and tlie capstone laid June 0, 189'J, the thirtyninth anniversary of the laying ot the corner stone. The ceremonies were attended lij- over (10,000 people. A copper plate, inscribed with historical data, various church publications, photographs, etc.. were laid in tlie capstone.

It is surmounted by a llgurc representing the angel "Mnronl," a statue 1- feet in he'Klit, ot hammered copper plated with heavy sold leaf. It stands 222 feet above the earth and is a grateful and pretty nhjeet, holding to its lips a golden trumpet, through which is beine sounded the glad tidings of "the latter-day saints" to the people of the carlh The lintel "Maroni," according to the Mormon belief, appeared and rovealed to Josepn Smith the hiding place of the golden tablets, on whieli is inscribed the book of Mormon. This statue, as seen from the street, is a littltig crown to the grand architectural lines on which Iho temple is built.

HELPED TO KILL HIS BRIDE.

SensatJoiml Forced Wedding Ju Keutuoky EihU In a Oouhle Tragedy. Mokganfiei.d, Ky., April 6.—There was a sensational affair in this county Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Miss Abbie Oliver, of Sturgis, Union county, the beautiful young daughter of Mr. Taylor Oliver, was led astray some time ago, and Henry Delaney, a young drug clerk of Sturgis, was charged with causing her downfall. He denied it and both parties sought legal advice, but no proceedings were had in court.

Tuesday night about 9 o'clock the mother of the girl entered Delaney's place of business and at the point of a pistol forced him to accompany her to a carriage outside, in which her husband and daughter were seated. The four drove to Morganfield, a distance of 15 miles, and at o'clock Wednesday morning a license was secured and the couple were married. The party started home, but when they reached Tecrhim, about :j miles from Morganlie.ld, four men on horseback surrounded the carriage and began shooting. After the first shot Delaney jumped out of the vehicle and ran to the attacking party, who were supposed to be his friends, and the firing continued. The young bride was shot through the head and her father in the face and right arm. Mrs. Oliver alone escaped without a wound. She drove the team at full speed for a mile down the road and turned in at a farm residence. The attacking party followed, shooting at every jump. The girl was fatally wounded and died at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Oliver is fatally wounded. Mrs. Oliver recognized the members of the party and warrants for the arrest of four prominent young men are being issued. The families are of high standing and sympathy is with the Olivers. Mobbing is feared and the whole country is wild with excitement.

CHOLERA IS SHOWING.

It Reappears with Virulence In Its Old itusnlau fli'unttt. St. I'etf.hstiuho, April 0.—There is now scarcely a doubt that Russia is to again suffer from the ravages of cholera.' Concurrent with the setting in of slightly wanner weather the official reports show tlie recurrence of the disease in nearly all the places in which it wrought havoc last summer and autumn. Official returns have been made public showing from March 19 to March 20 then were sixty-five cases of cholera and nineteen deaths from the disease in the town of Orel. With its trade with the various sections of the country Orel is particularly liable to suffer from epidemic diseases, more particularly cholera, and it is also a point for the dissemination of the disease. The official figures place the number of cases reported from March ly to March yT in the government of Oofa, lying west of the Ural mountains, at eighty-four, and the deaths at twenty-nine. From Mareli 23 toMarch 29 there were ten cases and four deaths in the government of Yelisavetpol, in Transcaucasia. In addition to the bad showing of the above official figures it is a matter of common knowledge that the number of cholera cases and death's from the scourge are far more numerous in the governments that are not included in the returns. This is especially the ease in the govcrnents of Podolia and Saratoff, which were ravaged by cholera last year.

Lon'Tion*, April 0.—The British government has sent a circular to the post office officials in Great Britain and Ireland notifyingthem tliatsince March 22 there have been fifty-one deaths from cholera in L'Orient in the department of Morbihan, France.

Fatal Result of a Prize Fight at Syracuse, N. Y.

A DEATH-BLOW FOR DANIEL DONOVAN.

A Seven-Round Contest In Which He I* Kuoeked Down Three Times In Sueee*aiou

.Joseph Uuntcc—Kllled by (lie l.siHt lilow.

SEVERAL AKIIKSTS MAIIB.

Syracuse, N. Y., April o. Daniel Donovan, of Cleveland, O., a middleweight pugilist, and Joseph Dunfee, of this city, fought seven rounds at Maple Bay Tuesday uight., and as a consequence Uonovun is dead. Dunfee is in jail for manslaughter and the referee and seconds are under arrest or fugitives from justice. The referee was P. .1 Douohue, sporting editor of the New York Recorder. Donohue was released on bail and returned to New York. The district attorney also threatens the arrest of others of the principals.

Details of the liattic.

The light was for S 00 aside and four ounce gloves were used. The. fight was allot one and neither seemed to have the best of it until the seventh round. There was cautious sparring at the start and then half a minute of sharp in-fighting, neither of the men seemingly having any advantage in the rapid interchange of blows. The referee separated the contestants, and when they came together again they stood for a moment glaring at one another like bulls. tfaine to the Last.

Then Dunfee shot out with his left arm and caught his opponent squarely on the jaw just below the ear. That blow should have ended the fight. Donovan reeled and then fell heavily to the floor. For two or three seconds Donovan lay helpless, then raised himself to his knees, and finally got upon his feet. He had scarcely done so when Dunfee drew back and swung out with bis right, landing on the left jaw. Donovan fell like a log. This time it seemed as if Donovan would not and could yot rise, but rise he did nevertheless, slowly and feebly With the dazed expression of a slron man about to faint. Again the terrible light shot' out, ami for the third time the Cleveland man dropped to the floor. There was no rising now. Flat upon his face the fallen man lay, as motionless as if he hud been dead for hours.

Died'of His Injuries.

Donovan did not regain consciousness, and died at the Maple Bay hotel at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Physicians who attended him say that he died from concussion ol' the brain. This was Duufee'o first battle as a professional.

The tight and its fatal termination havo caused much excitement here, more so on account of Sheriff Iioxsie's not interfering. It is reported that the sheriff will be removed from office by Gov. Flower, who a short time ago an nounced that under no consideration must a prize fight be allowed to go on in any county in the state without the interference of the sheriff.

FAILS OF ELECTION.

No Candidate lu Khodo Island Secures a Majority. Providence, R. I., April 0.—Returns of the state election are slow in coming in and the result is still uncertain. Returns from twenty-nine towns and cities out of thirty-six, and including Providence and Woonsockel, show Brown (rep.). IS,041: Baker (dem. ). 18,S24 Metcalf (pro.), S..S45. The vote is about 25 per cent, less than a yenr ago.

Undoubtedly there is no election by the people. Brown will have a plurality. The general state officers will be elected by the general assembly. There are at least eleven elections outside the cities of Providence and Pawtucket and the nineteen members from those cities are probably not elected.

The democrats so far have made a net gain of five scats, and it will require the second election to determine the complexion of the legislature. Returns as to congress are meager, but the democrats claim that both Bull and Page are elected. This is in doubt, however. The large number of second elections are due to the increased prohibition vote as the result of great exertious on the part of their national connnittce. Mr. Metcalf will probably have about 11,000 votes. Gov. Brown is confident that the republicans will ultimately secure the legislature, which will elect him and his colleagues.

UedoNHo Kkaoh, Cat., April c..- Purser Stanley, just lauded Irom the steamer Los Angeles, ropor.s picking up a boat about 40 miles north nf Kedondo which proved lo lie one from the ill-fated ship King .lames. The. boat left the ship when tire drove the crew from the vessel, about 2i0 miles off Point (onception. They left the ship at midnight of March SO, and lay bv tlie ship until 4 o'clock tlie following morning. At 0:40 p. tn. of March 1 the boat was capsized and four men were, drowned. The captain, his boy and the remainder of the crew climbed up on the keel of the boat and succeeded in righting her, but the boat was full of water and thev remained tip to their waists in water fourteen hours, when the men, worn out. exhausted and chilled, began dying, and one after another passed awav until eight,.iiieluding the captain's son, were dead.

Duly Four Survived.

The dead were thrown overboard and the boat was so relieved by this means that the living were enabled to bail her out. All provisions, oars and riggings of every kind, excepting a small piece of sail, were lost at the npsetting of the boat, and it was only through the ingenious contrivance of making the grating and boat lining into a rudder that they were, enabled to make any headway whatever. When picked up by the Los Angeles Wednesday morning the captain and three remaining members of his crew had been five days without food or water. They were so weal: a to be unable to stand or walk and had to be lifted front the boat. '1 he. names of those saved are (apt. William

Some of the men wen' like maniacs. They cried for food and water, and we exhasted ourselves in trying tc holp them down, Before each man died he would become incoherent and curse and pruv alternately. We could not go to sleep because we were afraid that some of the men in moments of Insanity would cut out throats. As the men died we threw them overboard. We couldn't have stood out two hours longer, We know that we were near Hucneme and if we had oars we could have got ashore. We were drifting there when the wind blew us out again.
