————— L AN IMPORTANT CHANGE. A New Svslcm_ul Accinnting Adopted Bv the Uvion Pacific Road. Varions Rallway Matters of Looal and General Interest, With the first of the month there goes Into effect over the entlre Union Paclfic systom a new system of keoping accounts In tho freight department. Theold cum- bersome system formerly in vogue is to be done away with entirely, anda new one adopted entirely different in its char- agter and workings, The new system is one which Is used, for the most part, on the castern roads. A gentleman in the freight department has kindly furnished an account of this important move, for press publication. “‘The change to be made to-day s not an office change, but a complete change in the manner of keeping the accounts in the freight auditor’s department. Under the old _system agents at the stations send in their “‘way bills receiv- od,” as they report them with the money a8 they receive it. The new system will have the forward- Ing agent send an Impression of the way bill to the freight auditor’s office. The orginal way bill goes with the car to its destinatlon, where the receiving agent keeps the bill on file, to refer to in the future, and the freight agent has the tis. sue copy on file in his office, w0 that in case any difforence occurs 1t can readily be found. Here- tofore tho agents have made s daily abstract, and would close their accounts at the end of each month and a great deal of business dated duricg the current month, that dld not reach them until the following month, would come in the next month; while our new way 8 to hold open the accounts until all of the busi- ness datea during any month, shall reach the office and tho oftice and thus have each month’s business complste in our abstract. We are then able to refer to the accounts and at a glance can see how 1t stands, while under the old system it might be months before we counld tell how an account was running, owing to some of the month’s business being put in with another month. From an econ-micesl standpoint there is very little saved in point of work except to the agenta, who will make foar reports and a recapisulating statement each month, in- stead of a dally report as formerly. The new system_places a better check on thoe agents for the reason that we can tell more easily just exactly how an account atands and whether they have Jorey” and in half an hour did not card whether Omalia was a pott of entry, sea port, or poit of tho New Jerusalem. — LATE TRAINS. The Sequel of Heavy Snow on the Raile, Snow was reported as existing in plen- tifal profusion east and west of this point. Asa consequence most of the evening trains were late yesterday, schedule time belng temporarily abandomed. The Burlington & Missourl River overland train from the west, due here at 8 p. m., last night was six hours late. The Missouri Pacific incoming train from the south pulled in laet night three hours late. The Chicago & Northwestern train was about two hours behind echedule time. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha train, due here at 5:30 last even- ing, was six hours late. The Denver train on the Union Pacific pulled out of the depot last night one dour and forty minutes late—delayed by slow connections, e — SELF SURRENDER. A Hunted Soldler Gives Himselt Up as a Deserter, Yesterday afternoon Officer Curry was approached by a young man whe wanted to give himself up to the law. His his- tory,as told by himself, savors a trifls of the curlous. He said that he had form- erly been a Uuited Statea soldier, being amember of troop M, Sixth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Bayrd, N, M., near Silver City. He cut adrift from military life, preierring for a time the question- able life of a deserter to the honorable toil of a soldier’s life. Since that time the military authorities have beeniflook- ing for him. He has been hunted from place to place, in each town being haunt- ed by the fear of detectiou, ar- rest and the penalty usually meted out to the deserter. Finally, a day or so ago, he came to Cmaha, While walking through the strects of the city, he met a young man by the name of Gaorge Burke, whom he had known well in Sil- ver Clty, and whom he knew to bo any- thing but well disposed toward him. He was well aware that he was under the surveillance of the man Burke, who probably would give him up to the law. Antlcipating an inglorious arrest at the hands of the enemy, he surrendered him- solf to the local authorities, who will in remitted cash enough to balance. The through business will be reported as heretofore, except that reports will be made weekly instesd of daily. Under the old system in reponlng prepaid charges a ‘‘double entry” statement was made, while the new plan simplifies mat- ters and thus saves a great amount of work on the partof the agents. There are 108 men employed in the freight auditor's office and although the new plan will save considerable work, there will be no clerks discharged, as there is a large + mount of werk to be done in clean- ing up the past year's business. The system was lnaugurated by MMr, D. D. Davls and is the same system used on tho Michigan Central, with slight modification. T. L. Kimball, assistant general man- ager; J. W, Morse, general passenger agent; . S. Stebblns, general ticket agent, and P. P. Shelby, general freight ent, the U. P. officers, who went to ansas City to attend the meeting of the Colorado T'raffic association, returned yesterday morning. The bueiness of the meeting was harmonious and uneventfal, The outcome was satlsfactory to the rep- resentatives of the,various roads which sent delegates, the Denver & Rio Grande, Atchlson, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Union Pacific. A pool agreement relative to Colorado business was signed, which will remaln in force until March 3lst, 1885. W. F. McMillan, who has been chief olerk in the general freight department for three years, was yesterday appointed assistant general freignt agent. r. Mo- Millan has been in the employ of the company for thirteen years. His promo- tlon has been a well earned honor. W. H. Griffets, assistantgeneral freight agent of the Pennsylvania Central, was also appointed assistant general freight agent. 'he entire superiutendency of the freight business of the road will be dlvided between Messra, Griffetts and McMillan. The road is to be divided into two sections, and one seclion will be at— sigued to each. The snow blockade in Oregon has not {zt been lifted. Unton Pacific w.st- turn surrender him to the wmilitary au- thorities at the fort. e — THE LEGAL TALLY. Matters About the Various Local Tri- bunals, There was nothing of interest in the Udited States court yesterday. Judge Dundy adjourned court until after New Year'’s, and will sit again on the bench Friday and Saturday hearing a tew minor motions and entering certaln orders, The court will then close for the November term, and will convene at Lincoln, Janu- ary 6. An attachment was issued in this court yesterday to the Michigan Stove Com- pany, of Detroit, upon the property of F'. A. Snow, who s indebted to them in the sum of $1032 25. In the district court yesterday no husi- ness of importance was transacted. Judge Wakeley lssued papers of commitment for David Dodson, convloted of embezzle- ment, and George Bratto, convicted of larceny. They} will be taken to the Lin- coln penitentiary by Sheriff Miller Satur- day morning. In the county court letters of adminis- tration were 1ssued yesterday in the mat- ter of the estate of L. C. Johnson, de- ceased. e — AN UNAUSPICIOUS EVENT. New Year's Morning the Occasion of a Small Fire. About 1:30 this morning fire was dis- covered In the City Steam Laundry, Eleventh and Douglas, by two young men passing in that viclnity. An alarm was promptly turned in from box 42, Thirteenth and Douglas, which was promptly attended to by the fire depart- und passengers are still hold, as they havo been for the past four days, at Huntit gton, Ore,, the western terminal connesiion of the Union Pacific road, A c.ugratulatory telegram on the oc- caslon of the advent of the new year will bo sent out by General Manager Calloway to-day to all the heads of de- partments on the Unlon Pacific lincs. A generul observance of the day will take place throughout the tem, and the local headquarters, as well as that of the B. & M., will be closec for the day. OMAHA AS A BEA PORT. A Diversity of Opinion Leads to a ‘Slugging Match. Yestcriay two men met in an up- town saloon and after indulging ina “Tom and Jerry” they sat down and be- gan to talk of matters in general, The conversation finally drifted to the sub- jeot of Omaha as a port of entry. This was the rock upon which they split. One of the men, who we will call | their fricnds in t Brown, said to hls companion, Smith, [mother of Mr. Fitch, who will make Omaba that Omaha was now a seaport. #0b, what's you giving us?’ said “Smith, **how can Omaha be a sesport when it's 1,500 miles from an ocean?” “*Well, said Brown, *‘I'd like to know what the ocean’s got to do with it. Did n't congress pass & bill makirg Omaha a sea port]” “Not by a long shot,” said Smith, “and you are a fool.” Brown differed with Smith on this point and hot words followed, which were in tumn followed by still hotter blows and the two men slugged away at each other until they both looked as if they had been 1un through a sausage-g:inder, The proprietor of the place finally separated them and explained to Brown that Omaha was not a seaport but simply | at the Southwest Pry aport of entry and also explained the | Rev, T, difference between the two. the whole business. ment. The firs, at thetime of diecovery, was confined to the third story and by dint of hard work was held there and did net materlaly damage the other storles of the building. After holf an hour's steady and ekillful manipulation of the streams, the fire was under con- trol. The 76, which orlginated on the third floor, 1 supposed to have caught from a defective flue in the rear of the story. Tho entire damage by the fire could not, this morning, be accurately deter- mined. Itis probable, however, that it will not amount to over §200, The laun- dry 18 the property of Wilkins & Evans, who also own the building, e —— PERSONALS, M. Toft is visiting friends in Chicago, W.

The Last Day of Grace for the Tax pavers, A General itnsh at Both the County and City Treasarer's Oftices, At an early hour yesterday morning tho offices of the coonty and clty treasurers were thronged with men and women who had neglected to pay thelr taxes until now, Notonly were offices filled but a long line of human beings was formed on the outaide of each office waiting to gain admission in order to pay into the treas- ury what was required of them. Al taxes which worenot pald last night bocome delinquent, and upon all delin- quent taxes a penalty is attached. Upon county taxes delinquent, a penalty of five por cent is added, and upon city taxes not pald to-day a penalty of one per cent a month is added. The cause of all this rush is that tax. payers have been hanging on to their money just as long as possible, many of them not feeling able to spare so much ocash at this season of the year. Each person doubtless thought, ‘I will wait until the last day and that will bs plenty of time.” That would have been the cane if only a fow persons had thought thle, but when many hundreds were of the same opinion it made a grand rush and the treasurers and thoir deputies und clerks were rushed all day long At the office of the county treasurer there was experienced the most difficulty, as the office is so arranged that it is very hard work to modate a rush, and many persons who wero on hand and ready to pay tl taxes could not get near enouigh to the desk to make a tender of their money. The question is now raised whether or not taxes can become delinquent and a penalty be added when the persons were on hand to day, ready to make payment, DRAMATIZING DON'T PAY the use of the K.

How the Day will bejSpentinfOmaha —The Amusements offerad, The time for “turning over a new leaf” is at hand, even at the door and many a man who has been saying to himself I will quit this or that bad habit on New Years day is oven now losing courage, New Years day is a day when a great deal of “swearing off”” is indulged in and if all the good resolves and promises made on New Years the millenium would cert But alas too many of the men who‘‘swear off’ do it in a sort of a “Rip Van Winkle” fashion and say to themselves “well as this is the fi time it don't count” and the promise is broken almost before it is made. A great many persons indulgein a grand hurrah on New Year's day, all the while promising themselves that this is the last one, and just s soon as_ this one is over they will " not touch another drop for a whole year, For a few days after New Year's there are generally a good many solemn and sober faces to be seen, for many men who are in the habit of “swear- ing off” keep their promise made to them- selves fora few days, and it is terrible hard to be asked to indulge in a nice, hot “Tom and Jemy,” and solemnly shake the head and_ say, “‘No, thank you, I've sworn off.” New Years in Omaha will be about the same as any other day. Business will go onasusual, A fow business houses may give their clerks a half holiday, but as a rule the stores will bo kept open the en- tire dsy.
