TR G I A gt THE U, P. INVESTIGATION, Attorney Holmes kes the Stand Before the Commission, New Yonrg, May 4.—1ho examination into the affairs of tho Union Pacific railway was resumed by the government commission to- day. Hon. David T. Littler, whose duties as a member of the Llinois legislature de- tained Lim from the former sittings, was present. Artemus Il IHolmes, one of the eounsel of the Union Pacific, was a witness, He related the manner of the construction of the Union Pacific. There were originally four roads, the Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific, Northern Pacific and Oregon rail- road, In the fall of 1876, the Kansas Pacific became one of the combination of bond- holders of the Denver Pacific. Mr. Holmes sald that the total incumbrances on the road in 1877 was bonded for $22,181,600 with the nterest £4,55,750. This covered the whole road from Kansas City to Denver. The stock ,of the road was valued at about $10,- 000,00, At the time the government lien was $6,304,000, The capital stock of the Denver Pacific was about 4,000,000, A re- celver was appointed for the Kansas Pacific in 1876, From 1573 to 1576 the Kansas Pacific was as low as $2 or £5, the Denver Pacitic 840, while the others of these urities named were practically valueless. nning in 1877 marked and decided improvements were no- ticed in the business and prospeets of the Union Pacific um-urh the development of the country which had been considered worthless previous to that time. The mort- age on the Denver extension was sued in oreclosure, and the time having arrived when the interests of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific ronds were evidently identl- cal, consolidation was effected and the mort- d, the Union Pacilic assuming the This was In the spring of 1868, Holmes related how it was _ that in 1850 the 20,0% sheres of Denver Pacific stock in the hands of Gould and Sage trus- tees the mortgage wasreleased. Ilolmes directed b{Stlnoy Dillon to draw a c laintin the matter and served it on the trus- 8, It set forth that the Denver Pacific stock had no market value and added noth- 1n0g to the value of the securities held in the hands of the trustees. The answer virtually submitted the complaint to the court and the stock was released on the stipulation that other sscurities would take its place. L. M. Ruggles was appointed referee on Holmes’ suggestion, and Russel Bage, the secretary of the Kansas I'acitic and others were cxamined. Ruggles reported January 21, 1850, Holmes examined the referea’s report and declared it was not in the handwriting of Ruggles, but couid not say whose writing it was. ‘The decree was dated twenty-four hours after the ftindings and the stock was released. Holmes said he did not know at this time that the articles of consolidation of the Union and Kansas Pacific were in preparation, though they bore date of January 24, the day after the date of the decree. Dillon did all of the business of the contolidation and Holmes knew nothing about it till afterwards. The Denver stock transferred to Gould, Sage and others, and later after consoli- dated, was exchanged for consolldated stock at par, and the latter stock was salable at 100 cents on the doilar. Mr. Anderson asked why the Denver stock, which Dillon had sworn January 17 'was of little or no value, had not been trans- ferrcd to the Kansas Pacific directso it would get the benefit, instead of going through the hands of Gould, Sage, Atkins, rederick L. Ames, Dexter and their asso- clates on the Union Pacifie, when the day after this decree was made the transfer was m-lnlo., and it immediately became of tull VRitieY ue? Witness explained that Gould exchanged ansas Pacitic bonds on cross country branches for this stock, then pat it in for equal shares of consolidated stock after the consolidation. 'The value of stock beecame $3,000,000 immediately and holders, whos names had been given, drew 8 per cent divi dends on it up to 1885, when the Union Pa- cific ceased paying dividends, ————— SPORTING NOTES, National League Games.

THEY SAY THEY WILL STICK. The Richardson County Oase to Be In- vestigated by U. 8, Grand Jury— 1he Elkhorn Road Coming— Medical Association. Brick Molders Strike. Ninety-eight out of the 109 brickmold- ers employed at the yards in Omaha are out on a strike. On Tuesday the helpers of the molders—those who bear off and wheel brick—made a demand for $2 per They had been getting $1.50 to f The de d was refused by Livesey & Co., Whitman Bros., Bailey & Oleson and Ittner, in this city. One or two yards in South Omaha granted the demand. The helpersin the yards named thereupon struck. Although this action would have tem- porarily thrown the molders out of work, they supplemented the stand of their helpers yesterday by striking also. Some time ago the molders sccretly formed a union, and their action is therefore united, They state that they shall stand by the helpers to any extert. and will re- main out until the price asked by the latter shall be paid. In consequence, brick making in Omaha is suspended. The effect upon building will not be immediately felt, but i a few weeks, when the kilns now burned are exhausted, it may be, most seriously. All the strikers will hold a meeting in Spoerle’s park to-morrow night. UNITED STATES COURT. No Interference With Officers to Be Permitted—Other Cases. Dr. Gandy, of Richardson county, some time ago obtained a judgment in United States court against John Whit- comb, of the same county, which was made to apply upon hve stock, farm im- plements and personal effects of the de- fendant. The judgment was for money due to an eastern company, of which Gandy was agent. Upon the judgment an execution was issucd, and upon the day named therein for the sale Gandy en- deavored to have it carried out. Then, it1s claimed, seventy or eighty men sur- rounded the plaintiff, Gandy, and com- pelled him to sign an agreement to post- pone the sale until May 12, In United States court yesterday, Judge Dum(lly. in delivering his charge to the grand jury, directed them to find ndict- ments against every one of these seventy or eighty men 1f the facts should justify it. The judge was quite vigorous in his denunciation of the alleged acts of ‘Whitcomb and his neighbors, and said that indictments should be presented against every man, no matter what his standing, who had been guilty of the offense of delaying the law’s mandate, The Lincoln Journal company case, in which that company was sued for $75,000 damages for alleged infringement of patent on a hotel register blank book, by the James T. Hair company of Chicago, was decided in favor of the defendant, the plaintiff failing to appear and only asking for a continuance. Robert Martin's suit against the Union Pacific company, for damages alleged to be due from injuries reccived in the North Platte shops, is being tried. HEALERS OF THE SICK. Yesterday's Interesting Session of the State Medical Association. ‘The State Medical association, now in session at Masonic hall in Omaha, held a very interesting meeting, from a medical standpoint, vesterday. In the forenoon Dr. R. M. Howe acted as president pro tem in the absence of Dr. Moore. Dr. Merriam read a paper on the prac- tice of medicine in this section. 'The essay was comprehensive and contained many common sense deductions. It was discussed in a pleasing way by Drs. Manstield, Keppman, Bowen and Bridge. Dr. W. O. Bridge read a paper on The Diagnosis of Diphtheria. e learnedly discoursed upon the causes and symtoms of this most dreaded disease. So valuable were many of his suggestions deemed to be that the paper was referred to a com-. mittee for the purpose of securing its publication. Dr. Milroy read an extremely interest- ing paver on The Etiology and Course of Consumption as Influenced by the mate and Soil of Eastern Nebraska. He held that these two conditions were never as favorable to consumption as they were 1n the moist eastern portions of the coun- try, and that with Froper treatment no removal to Colorado or Wyoming was nucuunr{i » Dr. C. M. G. Biart made a report on Dermatology, and he was finally asked, 8o full of 1nterest was his production, to prepare a paper on the subject. The hearing of these papers occupied both morning and afternoon sessions, In the evening the question of adopting a new constitution was taken up. The new instrument was opposed by the older members of the association because of its containing, to them, an objection- able article relating to recording secre- tary. Under the present constitution the secretary does not vacate office every fm" a8 is the case with the other ofticers. He holds over uutil he resigns or is re- moved for cause. The new instrument places him in the same position as other ofticers. No decision was arrived at be- fore adjournment was taken, The programme for to-day was given in yesterday’s BEE. he following additional members were present yesterday: G. H. Peebles, David City; W.

Leis- enring, Wayne, President Adams' Expected Arrival President Charles Francis Adams and party of directors of the Union Pacific left Boston yesterday and will arrive in Owmaha on Friday or Saturday, probably the former. 1t is stated that a number of important matters will be settled dur- ing their trip over the road and their stay in Omaha. The new first vice president, Mr. Potter, will probably arrive with them. Among other improvements to be de- lerminefuvon along the road will'be the rebuilding of the Pacific company's hotel at Cheyenne, which was burned last year. Three plans have been submitted, one contemplating a cost of $75,000, an- other $30,000, and the third $40,000. In view of the prospective arrival of the B, & M. 1n Cheyenne it is thought probable that a large and spacious structure will be erected there, OTHER RAILROAD NEWS. P. E.

The ring was one of the most perfect, accord- ing to the oldest inhabitant, ever observa- ble from Omaha. One hour afterward 1t had disapveared.

D., VassarCollege, Poughkeopsie, N, ¥, WHY IS IT m and neuralgia are so pre~ valent? This question has seen satisfactorily answered, but it is certain that these diseases are only the most painful but amon g tho most nmon, and member of nearly every fami n the land is the victim of or . Ladies seem 1o be peculiarly liable to neuralgic at tacks, which, in the form of neuralgia, head- ache, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant occurrence. Not until the dis- covery of Attdophoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervovs headache, and they were gener ally conceded tobe incurable, but Athlo- phoros has been proved to be not only acertain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms but a safe remedy, 1If, in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept That rheuma freely open, its success is certain, and to aid thi Athlophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the neccesary ca- thartic, will be found to be a valuable aid to thg action ol the medicine, Athlophoros is no experiment, it has been tested and has proved its wonderful eflicacy. The Athlophoros Pills were orginally prepared as a remedy for use in connection with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and neu- ralgia and kindred complaints, Used in ction with that remedy, they area certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases arising_from vitiat- ed blood or general debilit; They are es- pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating, headache, constipation, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liver troubles. For di- es of women they are invaluable. These Is are perfectly harmless and may be safely used by adults or children, Testimonials of those who have been cured will be sent on application. Every drumTln should keep Athlopho- ros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Co., 123 Wall %\'cw York, will send either, car receipt of regular price, whi }‘:)()ltltlu for Athlobhoros and 50c¢ for the ills. About twenty years ago I discovered o 1ittle sore on my cheek, and the doctors pronounced ftcanccr. Ihave tried a number of physiclans, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among thenumbor were oneor two specialists. The medicine they appliod was like fire to the sore, causing Intenso pain. Isaw & statement 10 the papers telling what 8, 8. 8. had done for others similarly affictod. I procured somoat once. Beforo I had used tho second bottle the nelghbors could motice that my canccr was healing up. My general health had boen bad for two or threo years—Ihad a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of 8.8.8. my cough left mo and I grew stouter than T had been for several years, My cancer has healed overall but alittle spot about the sizo of a half dime, and it 1s rapidly disappear- ing. I would advise every one:with cancer to give 8. 8. 5. a fair trial. Mas. NANCY J, McCONAUGHEY, Asho Grove, Tippecanoe Co., Ind.
