POPP After Twenty-four Years a Pacific Attorney. (From Saturday Evening Bee, January 14.) Hearing a rumor that Hon. A. J. Poppleton had tendered his rosignation as the general attorney of the Union Pacific, 8 Brg repre- sentative called upon that gentleman in his office in the headquarters building, and asked if the report were true. Mr. Poppleton re- plied that it was. When is yous resignation to take etfect 1" he was asked. “At once, if possible; and not later than April 1" Mr. Popploton replied. “1 wrote out my formal resignation a fow weeks ago, and sent it to Judge Dillon, the company’s general attorney in New York, at the same time accompanying it with a letter giving my reasons for resigning." Mr. Poppleton then stated that the princi- pal reason for his resigning was that his health would not any longer permit him to continue the laborious duties .of his office. The close confinenent to business, he said, is becoming too great a tax upon his eucrgies. Besides he has reached that age when, if he ever intends to take a rest or have any re- ereation, he must at once cut loose from his presentsemployment, He is ot compelled to work any longer, and he desires to be in a position to do whatever he feels inclined, without any interference by routine duties. It is his intention to devote himsclf to his private interests, and to travel, not only iw Union this country, but in Kurope. He will have an ofice in the mew Pirst National bank building, and make it his headquarters, but he will not enter into general practice. 10 he takes any cases they will be only those of the most in- portant character, and involving large inter. ests. Prom now on Mr. Poppleton to take life much easier than he has for the past twenty-five years. Mr. Poppleton has received from Mr. lon a letter in vegard to his resignation. Mr. Dillon expresses great surprise and regret that Mr. Poppleton has decided to take this step, and hopes he will reconsider the matter. He also says that it will be very difticult to find a successor, but in the event that Mr Poppleton’s action is final the company will have to begin at oneo to look for a lawyer qualified to fill the import ant position. Mr. Poppleton, however, is determined in signation and cannot be induced to re- consider the matter. He had been contem- plating the step for nearly a year, and cannot afford to any tonger sacrifice his health, Mr. Poppleton has made Omaha his home for over thirty-three ) He is one of the ploneers who located liere in 1854, when the place was but a mere hamlet of the frontier. Mr. Poppleton is a native of Michigan, hav- ing been born in Troy, Oakland county, July 24, 1830, Until the age of fourteen ne re mained upon his father's farm, and attended the coun trict schools. He was then given his preliminary training for college at Romeo, Michigan, and was sent to Union college, Schenectady, N. Y., from which_institution he geaduated in July, 1851, From September, 1551, to May, 1552, he taught Latin and Greek in the instiiition at Romeo, where he had been prepared _for college. | Mr. Poppleton had read considerable law during his college cours, and entering the ofice of C. 1. & | Walker, of Detroit, he was admitted to pr tive in October, 1852, after an examination by the supreme court of Mich Clinton Briggs and Jonas Sceley, who boeame prom ineut citizens of Omuha, were admitted at the same time. To complete his preliminary legal training Mr. Poppleton attended a six months' course at John W Powler's law schiool, Poughkenpsie, N. Y., x Aking wud the' trial of altics.

T'he next was appointed attorney of the Union Paci Vice-President Durant. From that d: he continued his general practice until 1 In that year the road was completed, and much _important litigation arese from con- struction contracts, Thercupon Mr. Popple- ton accepted a re from the com- pany, and has ¢ eral attorney of the syste tion located in Kansas he has had charg 1, claim, tax and ot that por arising in Tow Nel 4 oming, Utah, Iduho, Montan: the local attorneys in all these jurisd reporting to_ him, and being subject to his stion and supervision, In 1855 he was de counscl of the managing und cutive oftices at Omaba, in _re spect to all matters avising in Kan sas, and on October 1, IS, Kunsas was placed under his supervision and control.

The managers of banks, how- ever, are cautious in their operations and enerally insist on wide and safe marging ked by undoubted secur The inquir from speculative mterest in grain and provi- sions wus only moderate and those who were regular customers of banks were readily accommodated. There was considerable our- reney forwarded to the interior. Merchants are purchasing grain to some extent and storing it in private elevators, and the move- ment of live stock is gradually improviog. “The receipts of money from couutry merch- ants have been fair, as they have been ool- lecting some accounts up to the close of tho year. Packers have been moderato bor- rowers though their demands were not par- ticularly urgent, and they succeeded in ob- taining all the favors asked for. Wholesalo merchants have presented considerable paper for discount, and they have been readily accommodated. Not much paper is offered on the street. Rates of interest were steady and unchanged at 7@y per cont on call and @8 per cent on time pup with 4 good . share of the good offorings accepted at 7 per cent. In castern moncy markets tho demand for discounts continues moderately active, with interest 08 ranging at per cent.
