'TAE PARDON OF SCHLENCKER [— Bovernor Thagers Action Basod on the Btrongest Recommendations, NHE WATERLOO BRIDGE OASE: An Answer Filed By the Union Pacific Denying the Authority of the Board of Transportation —Lincoin News. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAC.| governor yestorday stated that he was ank to say that he belicved he had made a istake in the pardon recently granted Fitz- ®immons for a crime almost exactly like that yommitted by Schlenker, whom he pardoned bn Friday last. The governor has not as %ained but what the facts presented for Fitz- "simmons’ pardon were true, but the relatives jof the man have not kept their promise in re: Igard to Fitzsimmens’ acts since he was par- doned. Schlenker's fricnds, after Fitzsim- #mons’ release, have worked industriously for tis pardon. He had several years longer ‘than Fitzsimmons and with a good record at Ahe penitentiary, and the petition was a vo- uminous one for his pardon. The following s the text of one of the communications: “Understanding that an appeal is to be made to you for a pardon in the caseof Hen A. Schlencker, convic of murder in the second degree, and sen tenced to imprisonment for fifteen years in the penitentiary, I desire to say that, being conversant with the circumstances of the case and having personal knowledge of the character and habits of the prisoner prior to his eonviction, and having favorable reports of his conduct in prison, I most heartily syi- pathize with the movement for a pardon that will anticipate his relvase in due course of law in a few months and restore him to citi- zenship. Your obedient servant C. H. Geue. I heartily concur in the foregoing : Cuanies H. Gorep, N. I HARWOOD, G. M. LAMBERTSON, W. J. Laus, . M. MARQUETTE. Judge Pound, who presided at the trials of Schlencker in the lower courts, said, in a tter to the governor; “Iam in sympathy h the movement and join in the request and of the petitioners. From™ all T can rand learn concerning him und his con duct, T am led to believe that the public in- terests will be best subserved by Lht‘«xer: ise, in his betalf, of the pardoning powe Ex-Warden Nobes, of the penitentiary, ccommending Schlencker's pardon for his general good conduct and, taking the place and circumstances of the crime into consideration, Mr. Nobes' conclusion was that Schlenclker was a fit subject for execu- tive clemency and that if pardoned he would make a good, upright, honest citizen. John C. Watson, of Nebraska City, who ‘was prosecuting attorney at the final fer court, in which the plea of murder in the second degree was accepted from Schlencker, wrote the governor that he accepted the plea and sentence as the evidence was not entirely conclusive for a erime of a higher characte: notwithstanding the indictment. son also referred to letters that he ceived from the ex-warden and warden the penitentiary relative to the good charas ter of Schlencker while in prison and con- cluded that he believed the well being of society and the ends of justice would injured by executive clémenc, Smith the prosecuter in ‘case, it ap- proved of a pardon and Warden Hyers, while not expressing & recommendation, told the governor that if pardons were granted he thought Schlencker should be first. THE UNION PACIFIC'S ANSWER. " The Union Pacific yestords led board of transportation the fo in the Waterloo bridge case: lil'(tu ¢ the Board of Transportation of the c of Nebraska. In the Matter of the mplaint of J. R. Watts Against the Union Pacific Railway Company. The respondent, the Union Pacitic railway company, comes and shows cause aguinst the finding and order of the board of trans- portation of the state of Nebraska made in this cause on the twenty-third day of Decem. ber, A. D., 1887, by the following answer, as provided by the act of legislature of the state of Nebraska, creating said board of transpor- tation. Respondent denies that the allegations of said complaint are true as therein stated, but admits that the first track built by the Union Pacific railway company from the Elkhorn river castward to the bluffs opposite to what now is the village of Waterloo, cousisted of an entire embankment without trestles or water ways, but respondent states that ut that date there were few or no scttlers re- siding upon lands adjacent to said cmbank- ment on either side of the river, that there was 1o town, village or collection of inhab- itauts upon the presemt site of the village of Waterloo, and- that the . grade as laid at the time was wholly different 10 the present, that the cut in the bluffs west of Elkhorn station was comparatively light, and that the elevation of the grade upon the khorn bottom between said bluffs and the Elkhorn river was very low, making un as- cending grade from said Elkhorn bottom across said bluffs which was steep and diffi- that in the years 1566 and 1867, when said embankment was _carricd away by a freshet or inundation of the Elkhorn river, the Union Pacific railroad had not yet been aoceptod by the government as a completed road, and that the work thercon at that point was temporary and provisional, sufficient for the operstion of the road and the trans tion of freight and passengers tomporarily until said grade conld boreduced to its proper standard; that it admits it to be true that the temporary and provisional grade was swept away by the inundation, and that in hastily rebuilding the same a trestle was used about 400 feot long, which continued to be used until 1850, but respondent denics that during this period and more than any other period the land upon which the town of Waterloo is now situated was free from inundation, and rospondent is advised by its cngineers and believes that the existence of said trestle re- lieved said inundation to avery limited ex- tent, if at all. That in the year 1530 the ' respoudent undertook to” conform the road from Waterloo eastward to & point a short distance cast of Elkhorn sta- tion to such a permanent grade and structure s its engineets regarded as necessary for the economical and safe operation of its road in tho transportation of freight and passengers, then inereasing vapidly in extent and import ance, that the cubankment was raised oast of the Elkhorn river and towards the Eik Born bluff, and that the cut in suid Elkhorn bluf was raised to such an extont as to con titute, with the raisod cmbankuwent, an cas) and workable grade for the business of the road between tho Elkhorn river and the horn station, that at that time the trestle was discarded and the embankment made solid upon the ad: 1 instruction of the chief ongineer of that such action was necessary in order to secure the convenient, economical and safe transportation of freight and passengers over said road, and that at the same time after making careful and ex- haustive sur grade said chief engincer was of the opinion that the closing of said trestle and the build- ing of said soiid embankment had little or no effect in producing so-called inundations at $ue town of Waterloo, whioh, in the meantime —Dbetween 1870 and 1886—had become an in- corporated village, as shown by the last con- sus. of nbout three hundrod and fifty persons, 1 respondent submits that it is advised and belio that it can establish to the satisfac. tion of any board of expert enginecrs, that the construction of said grade was wise, nec- essary and indispensible to the safe and siccessful transportation. of the immense graffic in freight and passengers umnl..mll\ )‘\l\'mz upon the east forty miles of sail vith the lowing answer spondent further answering bolieves that said board of tra wistaken, as u matter of fa hat the excess of wuter overilo Dbanks of the Elkhorn river finds thiough the depression between the river and siid Elkhorn bluffs and b obstructed by said grade overd fAlows the pre ent town site of Waterioo hy reason of the construction: of said grade, but respondent believes thefact to be that'long before said grude was construeted and long before said Toud was buiit that the proseat town site of Waterloo . *vas rvepeatedly - overilow by wuter whenever n the Elkborn river fiient to carry it out of its banks. and ri- spoudent declares that the town of Waterlon was Jocated, Luilt and as siee roon geiu: pied with the full knowicdge of the fact LRt ovvrfluw is - le\'llnble and that 1t the liche railroad was Elkbhorn times of town of and overflowed, and respondent denies that said overflow, whenever it has occurred, has been injurious to the health of the citizens of Waterloo and victnity, or that it has ju- flicted any considerable amount of damage upon the property of the citizens of Waterloo, a8 18 evidenced by the fact that said citizens have a remedy, If the theory of the board of transportation is correct, for damages for very injury rred; that only one suit | or been brought against the railway lmny for such damage, and thatin that suit it turned out, upon trial, that the party had not been damaged and failed to recover verdict, And respondent further says that it denies that the comfort, convenience and accommo- dation of the public and of the individual citi- zens of Waterloo and vicinity, considered with reference to said overflow and inunda- tion is entitled to be counsidered aguinst the safety and security and convenience of con- tinental traffic in freight and passengers which passes over said grade and solid em- bankment, that to open said solid embank- le or culvert or hcan be placed therein will imperil the safety of trains and result, in the opinion of the respondent, in a vastly greater amount of injury to the public than can possible accrue from its mainte- nance, that it is unwise, injudicious and inde- fensible, in the opinion_of the respondent, when the citizens of Waterloo an and the pwpenv adjacent the adequate ref at law for whatever damage may bcmflnml upon them, to compel the railway company to mutilate and weaken and deteriorate its grade and roadbed by opening said solid embankment and thus converting & safe, strong and ure roadbed into an un- safe, weak and insecure rondbed. Respondent further denies that the low ground between the left bank of the Elkhorn river and the bluffs east thereof is a natural water course and that the natural flow of water, except in oase of uncontrollable freshets, is through said depression and avers the truth to b(‘ that at the time of such freshets and during their continuance no amount of opening, even the complete re- moval of the entare grade from the Elkhorn river to the bluffs, will prevent the inunda- tion of the town of Wagerloo. Respondent further says that the Union Pacific Railway company is a corporation formed by the consolidation of three other corporations in pursuance of the charter granting it corporate existence, to-wit: The Kansas Pacific railroad, eastern division; the Union Pacific railroad company, and the Denver & Pacific Railway & Telegraph company, all of which corporations have amalgamated and consolidated in pursuance of law into a single corporation known as the Union Pacific railway company, which now owns and operates the entire Union Pacifie systom, including the particular portion of ruud complained of by the complainant: that corporations were created by the federal cangiress 18 pursuance of the constitutional powers of the government of the United States, for the transportation of troops, mu- nitions of war, army supplics, Indian goods, and other transportation required by the gov: ernment of the United States in_its deali with the Indian tribes, and in the prosecu- tion of offensive or defensive war and in the maintenance of its stores, arsenals and navy yards and other appliances for the mainte- nance of its army and navy, for the transpor- tation of mails and postal matter and the ex- ecution of its powers in_maintaining for the use and benefit of the United States and ail portions thercof of post routes and post roads; that in pursuance of said charter said Union Pacific railroad company built its road from Omaha, Neb., to Ogden, Utah, a por- tion of which is the section complained of in this controversy, and that since the year 155 the portion of the road complained of hus been operated and maintained under and by virtue of said acts of congress; that the method of the construction of said road, the terms of its acceptance by the government of the United States, the conditions upon which it should be accepted as a completed road, and everything necessary to comply with the law of congress authorizing the construction of said road, is provided for by federal law; that from time to-time as sections of twenty and l'nrty mil of said road were com- pleted, it was accepted by commissioners appointed by the president of the United States as a compliance with those provisions of the charter relating to the construction thercof, and that afterwards, upon a full and complete examination of said road by a commussion uppointed by the president of the United States, spted subject to certain additions and changes thereafter to be made, and which have since been made and com od in accordance with the terms and conditions of the uct of congress under which the same was built, and respondent in- s that the matter of the construction and up('x ation of said road are within the exclu- sive jurisdiction of the federal government and that the state of Nebraska, through its board of transportation or any other agency is without power to control or direct the ae- struction of any portion of said roadbed, or to require the reconstruction or the rebuild- ing thercof, or any portion thereof, and re- spondent says that at the time said act of cougress was passed, and at the time said road was constructod ‘the state of Nebraska was a territory in which the power of con- gress was supreme, and that the right of the federal government to incorporate said road and assume and maintain federal jurisdiction wver it cannot be questionad. ‘Wherefore, respondent submits that the ‘board of transportation has no jurisdiction to make the finding or order herein made, and that if the question is cognizable by umy ex- isting body or organization, its jurisdic n s d in the board of commi sioners created by the act to regulate com- merce passed and approved by the congress of the United States at its last session. Respondent furthor submits that if the board of transportation shall overrule this answer und the showiag thereunder to be made and shall be of the opinion that isdiction and power in the premises is ple- nary, that the order of said board as made is vague, uncertain and ambiguous and that it is impossible for the company to compl with with any safoty to itself or an ance of freedom 1 and annoyance after such orc all have been complied with, the respondent prays that the board of transportation may call to its aid & body of skilled and expert ginecrs, if essary, and so modify as to fix specitically the precise work precise extent of the work w be done by re- spondent inorder to accomplish the se 8 by complaint: that S made thr the rospondont, wholly upon tho discrotion and judgment of the engineors of the respondent 10 the extent and kind of openings 10 be ma in said solid embankment, when the judy. ment of said el is that no op can be made wiil effect the pu it by the complaina is of the upinio is made an ext horn river will result i Waterloo as heretofore, wid the respondent will be subje damage d litigation by reason of the do fective construction of its roadbed precisely as if the order of the board of transportation had not been made. Respondent therefore submits that it is the duty of the board of tra ation to make such order definite and ce: I the extent of the opening in said embani- ment to be made by respondent, and that such order should be made as to operate as a defense to said railwa; pmpany, when it is complied with, ugainst any complaint which may horeafter bo made by reason of the ob- struction of the flow of water said ai- leged dry channel near the Elkhorn blufs Respondent believes that the order of the board as made imposes upon the company an impossibility when it uses this languige: “The length of said opening must be suf- ficient to permit a free and unobstructed passage of the water so that the height of the water below or 8n the sonth side of said em bankment shall maintain its level with the ve sald embankment to a natural such result can only be accom bsolute removal of . o e Elkhern , five miles gations nundation n{ t in that case t to claims for the ¢ entitied “An unjust discrimbni rd of transportation, and and repeal articles 5 and » of titled ‘Railroad: all und parts of acts in with," is unconstitutionsl in its terms and on its face it or jurisdiction t hoard of n.mq. 5 make the order in controvers Wherofore, respondont prn)i-lhul said coul Plaist may bo disuissed.

Oldas he is, it was he who wasthe first to carry to his son the news of his election on Saturdny., M. Carnot had come down to Versailles on the morning of the fateful day, and had taken a room at the Hotel des Reservoirs, the num- ber of which, by astrange coincidence, was thirteen. ut it wasnot to this room that the news was brought. M. Carnot, on hearing the result of the second hallot, had gone to the palace of Versailles to be neaver his friends, and he was in one of the salons close to the corridor full of busts, which English visitors to Versailles will remember, while the fi vote was being given, He had drawn up an arm chair covered with green leatherin front of the immense window which looks upon what was once the garden of the king, and was sitting there at the bronze groups of statuary were becoming indistinet in the fading light, when suddenly he heard the sounds of rapid footsteps, and in an in- stant he felt himself seized in a strong embrace uml his face covered with kisses. As M. Carnot is a Frenchman, he was not astonished to find that he was being embraced and kissed in this way by his aged father, who for some moments said nothing. 1In fact, neaither spoke for a time, and it was then the father who exclaimed: *What joy for me, dear son!” Both father and son seem to have been affected to tears, and presently the new president said: *“You must come and live at the Elysec with me. 1 must have you always near me,” and to this the old senator, after some show of resistance, assented.

New York Journal: *‘Do you ever have sts to make queer artificial limbs?” ed of a manufacturer, who had a leg prominently displayed in a showcase. “Ol, yes,” was the reply, “we have all kinds of visitors, some of them want very odd things. Only a short time since a man dropped in. who wanted me to make him an artificial nose. It was not in my line, however, as 1 can nn!\' make legs, arms and finge compelled to decline his are many curious things ness. For instance. if a man only los his foot he is compelled to wear an e tire false leg, just as if he had lost his leg up above *m knee. TIf he loses his hand he is compelled to wear a fal arm, because otherwise it wouldn’t work rxght. and couldn’t be fastened securely. With a finger, however, it is different, as we cangenerally fasten_that ou 50 that no one could tell the difference. **Do you make cork legs,” was u The manufacturer laughed heartily as he repls “‘No, I do not; and I never knew one who did. The cork leg is a fable, and I suppose had its origin in that famous song about rnheer Von Dam.” the richest merchant in Rotterdam, who kicked a poor relative out of doors and in doihg so fractured his leg so that he was compelled to wear one made of cork that finally ran away with him. Anyway, I never saw a cork leg mysclf. All artiticial arms and le, made of wood, such as willow, basswood, or something of that sort. Phe wood is covered with raw hide to preserve it, and the top, as you see, is made of leather nicely padded, where it fastens on the stump of the veal leg.” ““What is the cost of artiticial limb “An artificial leg usually costs although we have made them as b as $150. An arm doesn’t cost quite so much, and fingers are less in propor- tion.” “How long will the limbs last?’ “We guarantee a leg to last fi although I have known one to be for fifteen years. If a man is careless and gets his artificial foot wet it will s00n rot, and then he will be compelled to have a new one fastened to his leg. We can put a new foot on just as easily as a_ shoemaker puts a sole on your shoe.” “Do you ever sell ready-made artifie- ial limbs?™ *Oh, no,”. responded the manufac- turer, “‘every one has to be made to order, because no two men ave exuctly alik When a man wants a limb we measure him very cavefully for it, as it must be exactly the same size as his natural limb, or he would feel awkward. It is made jnst as near the same shape of his natural limb as possible, and he soon gets aceustomed to it.” “You meutioned reque sometimes had for odd limbs. *Yes,” replied the manufacturer; “there vu\.hlen- man | meutioned wk wanted the nose, I have seen sev artificial noses, but never made any. They are usually made of : of Paris, and are generally fastened to the face by a » of spectacles caught over the cyrs. They generally have rather o qneer appearance, and don't look much like thg natorval article. They are also very expen as the f great deal of work on them, espocial in the coloring. The objoct, of course is to make them as mueh like the n ural-skin color as possible. I know an ald army officer who lost his nose in the war and had an artific one made. He was a very hard drinker, and be used to g0 to the man who made his nose every six months and have it colored up a lit- tle more, to make it look natural, ns he said, “I also knew a man,” continued the manufacturer, who lost an ear, and had one made of Indis-rubber. Jt was u beautiful piece of work, and wasa very delicately tinted the exaot color of a human ear. No one could have told s, worn ,that you the difference, and very few people knew that he wore an _artificial ear un- til one day he d din ahu and put it on wrong side before. He' came down town with it that way and created a great sensation before he discovered his mistake. “The queerest case T ever heard of,” continued the manufacturer, “was of a man who lost his lower jaw and had it rveplaced by an artificial one com- posed of = rubber and wax. an arrangement of springs could use it almost as well as an ordin- ary jaw. Then th the case of that boy at Belleville, N. J., who lost both hands in & machine last spring. His friends took up a subscription for him and had two hands made for him. From the wrist up they were made of ash and the hands were made of rubber, covered with kid gloves.
