SALT LAKE.
The Adaltery Case of High Priest Hawkia
-Testimaay af hi Better Half.
Salt Lake, October 21. The court
was occupied all day with the Haw
kins adultery case. The cross-examination
of Mrs. Hawkius elicited
nothing materially new. She testified
that Hawkins gave no reason for
takinz other women for wives, except
that she had had her day and it was
S roper he abouid nave some one else,
he said she had borne him seven
children at the time he took another
wife. The defense offered no testi
mony, except to prove the marriaKe of
IiaHUlun W1LU too HCVUUU .U'J LU.1U
wile.
General Max well spoke for the pros
ecution, and, assuming mat tne de
fense would rest uuon plural marriaKe
as being part of a religious faith, ar-
Sted that polygamy was in direct vio
tion of both ecclesiastical aud com
mon law. Fitch concluded at a late
hour for the defence; he concluded
that Hawkins, being a Mormon, had
no intention of committing a crime,
and intention was essential to convic
tion that there was no law against
polygamy when he took the second
wife and he could not be guilty of
adulu-rv. U-cauae he was legally mar
ried to one woman according to the
usages and customs of the Mormon
church. United States Attorney Cas
ken will sum up this evening, after
which the case will go to the Jury.
A number of additional arrests for
lascivious co-habitation have been

NORTHWESTERN ENTERPRISE.
A Sub marine Cable to be Laid Across
Lake Mleblgaa.
Milwaukee, October 21 .The
produce men and bankers here are
agitating the question of a sub ma
rine cable across Lake Michigan to
open up a new route to Michigan and
Canada, and an investigating commit
tee has been appointed to confer with
telegraph companies and ascertain tbe
facts required in regard to the practi
cability of such a movement. The
KoKioinaiin transportation company
have offered to lay the cable free of
expense. The object ot this move
ment is to have two lines ol commun
ication, so that if one fails, as in the
case of the Chicago line during the
fire or by storms, there will be an
other route open for business. It ia
thought that the increase of business
in the Northwest and Southwest will
keep both routes fully occupied. The
Canadians here are urging the project
with great vigor.

J. W. CHAMBERS, Clerk.
At a special meeting of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, held in that city
last week, the subeot of the practicability
of constructing a canal from the Missis
sippi to the Atlantic ocean was discussed.
The remerks below were made by Colonel
Fro bell, who addressed the meeting. The
Constitution reports tbe substance of his
remarks asfoilowai
The President then Introduced Colonel
Fro bell to the members, who oommanded
tbe interest and attention ot tbe large and
intelligent audienoa to an elaborate and
remarkably interesting statement of tbe
practicability and importance of tbe pro
posed canal from the Mississippi to tbe
Atlantic, through the State of Georgia.
To illustrate the importance of this under
taking, he gave a history of the origin,
progress and Anal completionjof the Erie
canal, connecting the oity of New York
with the great Weat, whose increase aud
growth were the wonders of the age. But
now they are looking out for it her nut
lets. The aid of government has been
sought and obtained, surveys have been
made, p'.nnntiave been suggested to con
nect the Ohio river with the great lakes
but these being obstructed by ice from five
to six mouths In the year, oannot satisfy
the demand of the growing oommerce of
the West.
"A better route baa been surveyed np
the Tenneaae river the obstructions at
tbe Muscle shoals were to be removed;
continued through Virginia to Lynch
burg, to connect with the James river,
but part of this route would require con
siderable distance of railroad a much
belter, nearer roots was found right
through,Oeorgia,from tbe Tennessee river
to Rome, Georgia, and from there up the
valley of the Btowah, thence serosa th)
Chattahoochee near Iluluth, thence south
ward to Maoon,
"The summit level will be between the
Etowah and Chattahoochee rivers; an
abundant supply of water can he bad at
all seasons :i.. elevations are not so
great nor locks sc numerous aa on the
New York and Erie canal. There is every
reason to believe that Congress will give
all reasonable assistance. A bill ia now
before that body, and has passed two
readings, for liberal aid to the great
national enterprise. The whole cost of a
canal in Georgia, seventy-five feet wide
anu nve feet deep, win not probably ex
ceed ten million dollars. The cleaning
out of the river may involve two or three
millions more. The importanos of this
enterprise, uot only to Georgia, but to the
wnote country, oannot tie estimated.
The Bpeaker contrasted the cost of trans
portation by wagon, by rail and by water,
showing that by rail t ia seven and one
half times dearer than by water, and
aevenly times dearer by wagon,
