FIGH1ING FOR BUDGE, A Prohibition Massach Has a Lively Time. BostoN, June ¢ Special Telegram to the Ber |=The efforts of the small police force in the old town of Amesburg to enforce the liquor law have caused intense excite ment, bordering on riot, Liquor has been brought in from the neighhoring city of Newburyport, and the_efforts of the police bave mainly been directed toward sus- pected express teams, rank Currier, a well known teamster, drove rapidly into town on Friday evening and Officer Goodwin, suspecting that he had a supply of liquor In his wagon, ordered him to stop. Currier paid no attention to his command. when the oflicer drew his revolyver and fired into the air, he says, thinking to frighten him into stopping. Currier did not stop, however, and a big crowd gathered. Threats, generally threats of violence, were made,but the officer escaped unharmed. On Saturday the affair took 8 new turn, Currier elaiming to have been shot. and pointing out a hole in Liis coat sleeve as evidence of his narrow es cape at the hands of the officer. e went to Newburyport and swore out o warrant against “ofticer Goodman for assault with & dangerous weapon, and in the afternoon the officer was arrested by Sheriff Avers and taken (to Newburyport. He was almost immedi- ately balled out. Saturday afternoon the police made several arrests, Yn which both officers ana people became excited and several assaults ocenrred on both sides. In the evening the oflicers were informed that they w wanted on one of the streets fmmediately, and went to the locality only to learn that a tri had been perpetrated—that while they were rushing off to check an imaginary trouble liquor had been spirited away, ‘The officers became angered when the trick was discovered, and 80 when another suspected wagon hove in glght Cicer Goodwin leaped un behind. It is said that the liquor was suddenly inaterialged in the wagonand loosed in the hands of waiting friends by the driver. A crowd then gathered about the wagon, and hoots, yells, cat-ealls and offensive epithets were in order, Theoflicers, three in number, made an effort to clear ‘a way throush the crowd and then the excitement becan to intensify. A prominent citizen questioned Ofticer nodwin’s right to act while under bonds for an allezed crime, and a hot discussion followed, which wound upin the arrest of the eitizen referred to. While Ofticer Goodwin was on his way to the sta- tlon with his prisoner, he was sct upon by a crowd, led by several well-known man- ufacturers, and the prisoner rescued. Then, after driving all the ofticers into the station, the crowd in- gisted upon a speech from the rescued man, e assented, and, mounting a box on the malin street, proceeded to deliver an {nflam- matory speech, which set the crowd wildana turned them into a mob, They were then ripe for any mischief, and after parading up and down the streets shouting and yelling, and uttering all sorts of offensive epithets at the expense of the leading spirits in the temperance warfare, it is said that they smashed in several win- dows at the house of a well-known clergyman and committed other dis- raceful acts. By this time it was midnight. The mob continiing about the square and the police heing powerless to restore order, Judge Cate was called from his bed to read the riot act, which tiad the effect of dispers- ing the mob. tts Town Defaulter Wilson Remanded.

They Enter Upon an Investigation of Union Pacific Affairs, MR. POPPLETON IS SAT UPON. Next Year's Teachers—Arrangements For the Fourth—Ferninst Sune day Base Ball—The Apolio Concert=0Other Local Investigating the Union Pacific. Two of the members of the Pacific in- vestigating committee, appointed at the last session of congress, to examine into the cost, maintenance and relation to the government of the Pacific railroads, arrived in this city yesterday morn- ing. They came from Chicago over the Chicago & Northwestern road. They are ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison of Pennsylvania and Hon. D. T. Littler, of Lllinois. The former is chairman of the commission. He isa tall swarthy gentleman with rather a severe aspeet and prominent features. Mr. Littler is a round pleasant looking and ponde ous gentleman with silvery har, They met Messrs. I L. Kimball and A, J. Poppleton, in the oflice of the gencral manager at 2 o'clock. A desultory con- versation ensued, in the conrse of which they nformed _both these genlte- men what information they desired u‘mlcr the act of congress appointing them, These points in brief were pools, re- bates, constractive mileage, commercial, stone, coal, ana freight and passenger rates on the main line and branch roads. Mr. Littler further informed Mr. Kim- ball that he would be expected to inform them concerning the considerations upon which he bases the deductions which en- able him to make up the re which he forwards to the oflicers at Boston. It was also stated that infor mation would be sought concerning passes, the number of them issued, why, and to whom granted, and the method of granting them. Mr. Kimball was then asked whose business it was to approve of vouchers, and replied that in his de- partment it was customary for him to do s0. This department combined the freight and passenger business. They mquired the number of de- partments and were told that the principal ones were the de luw.‘ construction and engineering and and, Mr. Poppleton was asked 1f he ap- proved of all the legal vouchers of the road, and replied that he approved of all of the vouchers of that kind west of the Missouri and outside of Kansas, In re- sponse to a number of inquiries, the commissioners were inforn; that Mr. Cumwings was land commissioner of the road and assistant general manager. Mr. Kimball was also requested to give if possible the cost of transportation per ton across the plains, between 1850 and the completion of the Union Paeific road, also the cost of the same since that event; also, whether since the last, dur- ing the latter veriod the government had granted aid of land to competing lines of either the Union Pacitic or Central Pa- citic road and to what extenc the grant had impaired the earnings of the latter roads. Mr. Kimball said that he was not pre- pared to answer these questions immedi- ately, and was promised all the time he might require. It was agreed that he would be able to answer some of them to-day at 10 o’clock. Mr. Poppleton said he wus able now to answer all questions relating to the legal dckurlmcnt. Mr. Cummings was called at 3 o'clock. Considerable time was expended in hunt- ing for the general land commussioner, and finally Land Commissioner Me- Alhster was called. He was nsked a number of questions as to the affairs of the department and the lands and taxes of the company. Governor Pattison conducted the examination throughout as chairman of the commission, and was thorough in his questioning—so much so that the land commissioner was at loss often to reply and hesitated. He was assisted in his replies by the attorney for the company, Mr. P(;vr leton, and Comp- troller Mk, Mr. ilister was asked if it was not the policy of the road to permit land to remain unpatented in order to avoid taxes. He said it wasnot; that they had re ed patents on & mil- lion acres and if the patents applied for would have been granted, they® would have taken out a million more. He was asked how the taxes were paid, by whom, the methods of. entry, and a great number of questions, which were not promptly or satisfactorily ans- wered, Mr. Poppleton interjected and said the company was not able to get the land sought in that no positive instruc- tions had been received from the presi- dent. Mr. Littler asked how much land the comfimxy was entitled to for which patents had not been applied. The ques- tion was not answered. It was asked why the Union Pacific had not selected all the lands it was entitled to under tho land grant. It was replied they were in a location not yet determined, Mr. Pop- pleton volunteering that there was a reat deal of land at the base of the Rockies not yet taken. Finally, after a rreat deal of time had passed, Mr, McAl- lister was given a list of the points upon which the commission desired informa- tion and was allowed to depart until he could look up the subject. The auditor of the company was called for and sworn. Mr. Young was closely ques- tionea as to the system of conducting the account of his depart- ment. The questions were searching and covered every minute detsil of the auditor’s affairs. The freight-earnings book was called for. It was brought in —a voluminous document. The com- missioners opened it and finally Gov- ernor Pattison came upon a total. His index fingor stopped and he said, ‘‘Mr. Young, 1find here a total of $119,727.80 for the month of July, 1886, Please ex- plain this.”” 1t developed that the amount, together with one of $103,418.90 for June were rebates and overcharges refunded for the entire Union Pacific system. The commissioners kept turn- ing the leaves of the ponderous volume. Governor Pattison struck a $600 item for oils to the Standard Oit company. He asked many questions about it. Another item for spokes, 314, was indicated. He asked the auditor to explainit also. Gov- ernor Patterson called for a nurber of other vouchers. Mr. Popplcton arose from his char and asked permission to be heard. It was granted, dnd he said with considerable warmth that he considered it unjust to advertise through the public press the business of the Union Facilic company. The commissioners should have every facility for pursuing the in- vestigation, but it was hardly just to ex- ‘:l e the private affairs of the company. e objected because the public press of the city was represented and the affairs of the cumpnnly should not be sown broadeast over the country. Tho?' should be kept aquiet until the commissioners were ready to spread them before the public in its own way. He wanted the investigation earried on secretly. Governor Pattison replied that the com- missioners could not very well carry on the investigation with closed doors. They ing out thelaw as they had been sent oul to do. Mr. Poppleton declared that when the commussioners advertised to the public the private affairs of the company with the names of the persons to whom rebates had been given, they were giviag the company's competitors an advantage for which the competitors would &:y & great deal of money. e thought the cammis- THE OMAHA DAILY sioners did not want the minute details. Goyernor Pattison inquired . how . it could bo ascertained whether justice had been done unless individual accounts were examined, Mr. Poppleton said it would eripple and weaken the company. There might be no remedy; it might be one of the in- evitable things which the company had to stand, but it was an in{unlicfl. Goyernor Pattison said they had jour- neyed from Boston to Omahato take the matter of rebates, contracts, pools, ete. into account, and hadbeen assured of fuil facilities for obtaining the desired infor- mation, Mr. Poppleton replied with a sweep- ing wave of his hand, in a voice which ~ had grown tremulous, that the facilities were before them. But he didn't want a general pub- lication. It was not right for the govern- ment to compel not only expression of the aflairs of the company, but also of the business of shippers. He appealed to Mr. Littler as an old railroad attorney to sustain his position. Mr. Lattler seemed inelined to do this by moying that the commissioners ad- journ till the next day and consider the subject in the meantime. Governor Pattison was inexorable and snid he would not go into a star-chamber gession, ‘I'he commissioners could only hold an open session, ., Continuing, Mr. Poppleton said that if the Western Union Telegraph company or other corporations were asked to dis- close their business, the request would be refused. It was the duty of a common carrier to keep business affairs secret. They " would not only exnose the com- pnuf’n business, but shippers,’ also. It ght not to be done. ‘I believe the cord is clear from beginning to end,” said Mr. Poppleton shaking his eye- glasses energetically, and his rubicund countenance taking an intensified hue, “but it is a hardship!’ Governor Pattison wouldn't relent. Thereupon Mr. Poppleton suggested that he could direet the press publica that was to be made. Governor Pattison held that the courts could not direct the publication in the papers. Mr. Poppleton held that the courts could direct what was proper and what was improver for the papers to print. He thought the commissioners had the same power. Governor Pattison suggested that they proceed with the investigation. Mr. Lit- tler said ‘“‘perceed,” and Mr. Poppleton sat down s numbered 19,073 paid Holt ‘rancisco; one for E. Rachert, 18,944, M. Erman & Co., 5 Consolidated Tank Line comy (voucher mussing from auditor’s oflice); 10,383, rebate for lumber for bridge over Platte (on authority of Mr. Kimball). The vouchers were not open to the re- Bnrh'r'n ingpection, and that each num- er is not given in detail is due to the fact that 1ts points could only be gained as indicated by the questions put by Governor Pattison in reference to the voucher. Mr. Young could not explain whether same were for overcharees or for rebates, us the same form of blank was used for each. Governor Pattison—Do you regard that g suflicient voucher for the pay- nt of the amount? Mr. Young- Yes, sir. It is based on the authorities filed in my departinent. Governor Pattison—Explaia why the authorities are not attached to thes youchers. Mr. Young—It is to file the papers the freight-claim agent's oflice and this voucher is 1 S authorities. The papers are often bulk Governor Pattison—How much do the rebates in any one month amount to? Mr. Young—Ido not know. That can only be told by going back to the origi- nal papers upon which this voucher 1s based. Governor Pattison—Can you produce the original papers? Mr. Young—Yes, sir. Governor Pattison—Can you give me the total rebates of any one month in this book? Mr. Young--Yes, sir. the month? It was finally decided to examine Mr. Young to-day on food contracts and Mr. Johnson upon the vouchers. The latter is claim agent and Mr. Young paid the vouchers upon his signature certifying to their correctness. Mr. Povpleton the custom seperately in Will you select broke * out again before the commissioners adjourned about the matter of rebates. It seemed plain that the representatives here were not desirous of an open inves- tigation that those of the company in the east were. In reply to an objection Mr. Poppleton made about the search into the rebate matter, Governor Pattison asked: Supposinj as an instance that the Standard O1l company had been given a rate which was unjust to others, must the commissioners go through individual cases to see whether the rates to others in the oil line or cattle business had been fair? Mr. Poppleton wanted to know how they could determine it unless they knew of other rebates given. Governor Pattison—Suppose we find the oil company has been given an unfair rebate as compared with other shippers? Mr. Poppleton—How can you, unless you know of rebates to other shippers? Governor Pattison—We can proceed in that direction. Mr. Poppleton —You less you go into the terri- tory of other points where these shippers send goods. The commissioners have not the power. . Mu. Littler—The commissioners Have the power--the same pewer as a-United States court. Iwill read you a section of the law. Mr. Littler read the section and after further conversation relating to carry- ing the freight eurning book to the hotel for examination a% night (which was granted) an adjournment was taken to 10 o'clock this morning.

The choruses were in nearly every respect admirably given and showed that Mr. B. B.

An __improvement might be made in the quality of tone pro- du by the tenors, and the accesion of more good voices would be an advantage In precision of attack, shading and clear enunciation there was little left to be desired.

Many a time and oft, as he toyed with his he in public places, he had seen ng glances wander to it. An ugly an can command attention with a five carat stone, and Knox knew its attr: for the fair sex.

The vaqqeros looked ut the animal, but thought that riding him would be too much risk of ncck for that amount of money, and declined. Soon two suuaws came along and stopped to look at the horse. Mr. Smith, in his spint of fun told -hem he would give them $2.50 if they would ride the horse.

No sych thing had ever been on the back of fhe norse, but he left them have it.
