THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 1850 BOARD OF TRADE MEETINC. Watertown Wants Omaha Business Men to Pay It a Visit. A NEW RAILROAD FROM DENVER. All About the Deep Water Conven- tlon—Proposals For Endorse- ment of Looations For the World's Fal An Interesting Session. Yifteen members of the Omaha board of trade responded to Chairman Martin’s call for order last night ana at once settled down to business. It was a lively meeting and was opened by Secretary Nason, who remarked that he had collected rents for the past month amount- ing to $1,442.66. His report was placed upon file and then an invitation from tho Water- town capital committeo and board of trade 1o come up and see the town was read. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Thompson, 8 Watertown delegate, jumped to his feet and announced that the railroad fare would Do $11.75, and that tickets would be good for thirty days, and further that the city he rep- resented would pay all slooping car fare and board for the party, and that he wanted 500 members of the board and other business men to come up, bring their families and have a good time. The train will leave the Webster street depot at 6:45 to-night and after getting to Sioux City will be hauled to Watertown as a special. Mr. Thompson had the cash to pay all expenses, and conciuded by inviting all who desired to at- tend to call on Secretary Nason at or before 11 o'clock this morning and get matters ar- ranged. A suggestion by Mr. Nason on behalf of several citizens of the city who wanted a permanent exposition in Omaha, but didn't ‘want horse racing mingled with it, broucht Champion S, Chasc to his feet. Mr. Chase wanted a permanent exposition, but, such an arrangement wouldn't be worth anythin unless horse racing, which 18 a sm«mdifi sport, went with it. It 1s racing that draws crowds, und people is what Omana wants, Secretary Nuson then moved that a com- mittee of three, of which the chairman should be one, be appointed to go to St. Louis in October and get a~ few points on how to run a fair. The proposition carvied and the chair announced that tho balance of the committee would be appointed later on, But at adjournment nothing had been dono 1n the matter. The attention of the board was directed to A communication from J. H. Anderson, pros- 1dent of the board of trade of Newton, iy regardinge the construction of a line of rail- road [rom Omaha to Newton and thence to the gulf, via either the Union Pacific from Omaha to Newton, or the Etkhorn and Santa Fe from Omaha to Superior and thence southward. Appended was an opinion from John A, Wakefield, cliairman of the commit- tee on transportation, to the effect that as matters stand at present nothing can be done; that while the Union Pacific has made @ survey from Manhattan to Newton, they will not build fora year. The documents were filed, ¥ The dclegate from Watertown then ob- tained the tloor long enough to remark that the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Des Moines boards of trade will all visit his city on Wednesday and ho wanted Omaba to join the purty. Mr. Chase then made a few remarks con- cerning the deep water convention in 1890, which will be hela in Omaha, and spoke lib- erally in regard to the favorable feeling pre- valent in the west in favor of a harbor on the gulf, which prompted the man from Watertown to again rise and assert that all Dakota wanted a deep water barbor in order that their goods might come through Omaha instead of Chicago. Letters from Washington, New York and Chicago, asking thav the board lift up its voice in favor of each city for the World’s fair, were then read and relogated to the spindle, . Then Mr. Nason perpotrated a genuine surprise by reading a letter from Paris, which is as follows: Panis, France, July 20, 1889.—70 the Sec- retarics of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Chambers of Commerce—Dear Sirs: I wish you would kindly mail me three copies of each annual report with statistics for 1885, 1880, 1857, 1888 and 1880. We are aboutw build a short line from Denver to your city, viu Lincoln, to connect with the proposed Denver & Salt Lake short line. We wish to show the Europeans by your reports and sta- tistics the wonderful and rapid advancement of your cities within the last five years. Oscar C. SiLpAcH, Rue Scribe. Mr. Nason informed the board that he had sent the documents, and after allowing the gentleman _from Watertown a chance to make oae flnul appeal, the board adjourned. B The Watertown Excursion. The excursion of the board of trade to Watertown this evening promises to be a sucvess. An invitaticn has been extended by the “‘capital committee,” who will provide for the entertainment of the visitors.

A Gorgeous Military Kvent at the Armory of the Omana Guaris, Last evening the Dodge Light Guards of Council Bluffs made a formal call on the Omaha Guards, and a grand dress parade was the resuls. The wisiting guards were met at the corner bf Fourteentn and Doug- _Jas by a detachment of Omaha Guards, " under the command of Lieutenant Mulford, who escorted thera to the armory. As the head of the line turned on Capitol avenue fireworks were shot off at the door of the " armory. - On arriving ot the Omaha Guards' - headquarters a dress parads was held, which was witnessed by hundreds of Omaha's leading society people. It was a splendid and imposing spectacle, Captam Scharft acted as conductor of mili- tary ceremonies, ana Lieutenant Aichison, of the Dodge Light Guards, as commandant. Lieutenant Reed, of the Omaha Guards, was adiutant and Sergeant -Wetnberg was ser- geant major. Lieutecant Dixon commanded Company A: Lieutenant MeNeill, Company B; Licutenant Webster, Company C; Lieu- tenant Mulford, Compaiy D. Albort Butsch, of the Sixth infantry, was bugler, and the drum corps was led by Mr. Stevenson, A dance followed the evolutions, e ILLEGAL AOTS, ©Charged by W. J. Connell Agains City and County Officers. Late Saturday night a suit was filed in the district court entitled “William J. Connell vs. John Ledwiclk, A, J. Seaman, the city of Omaha, the county of Douglas, John Rush, oity treasurer, and Heory Bolln, county treasurer.” It was an application for an in- Junction against the sale for taxes of certain real estate owned by the plaintiff. The latter says that in 1537 tax lov 7, section 22-15-18, was assessod at $3,500, and without notice to him, or any complaiot baving been made that the assessment was oo low, the com- missioners raised it to $12,000, and for 1889 to $14250. This year, after the assossor turned it in at $13,000, as he had done the yoar betore, the commissioners on their own motion ran the valuation up still further to 5,000, Mr. Counell also declares that he has always been ready and willing to pay his taxes: that he bas tendered payment of the ghclpnd levied by both aity and county. He rthor alloges that the levy for 1887 ana 1888, on 212 acres of land owned by bim in sections 20 and 7, in township 15, range 13, was | , excessive and unauthorized. ‘Without legally wdvertisiog the authorities undertook to sell this at sheriff’ sale, and A. J. Seaman and John Ledwick figured as the protended purchasers, The Iatter now claim a tax warrant lien upon the Jand. In addition to these transactions, the plantift charges that the levy on lot 11 in Johnson's addition, of 51-10 and 11 in Grifin and Smith's addition, lots 1, 2, and part of lot 4, in block 240, and the north half of lot 5 in block 233, for 1888 and 1839, are as- sessod unlawfully and excessively. He claims that in making these levies and as- sessments the city and county failed to sit as a board of equalization, neglected to giveno- tice as required by law, but proceeded arbi- trarily and illegally. To prevent the ecity and county from offering these lots for sale he asks the court to enjoin the collection of taxes; also the issning of deeds to Seaman and Ledwich for the land sold to them. Judge Doane 1ssued a toemporary restrain- ing order, and set the hearing of the .Epum- tion at 10 o’clock on Saturday, September 23, George A. Hoagland has commenced suit in the district court against Charles Samuel- son, the Byron Reed mmrnny.

This is the onfy reaching all parts of Washington territory, is the only line running colo- nist sleepers through the territory di- rect to Tacoma, and is the only line via which through tickets can be purchased. The Northern Pacific allows stopovers at all points in Washington territor; to holders of second-class tickets read- ing via their line. e LOCAL PULLMANS, The Upholstered Palaces of the Street Raitlway Company. The car house of the Omaha Street Rail- way company is well filled since the arrival of the new trial cars to be used on their elec- tric line, These cars are of a particularly elegant design, costing $1,409 each, and are the only ones of equal cost and finish in the United States, except some operated in Cleveland, O., which are made exactly lke these. Tho cars were made by the John Stepenson company of New York., The interior is elogantly upholstered, and warmed by the latest improved heaters, The cars have wide platforms, an improved whneel fender, which greatly les- sens the dunger of accident, and are painted a tasty cream color, which gives them an at- tractive appoarance. Over the platform are bounnetsigns on which are painted **Hanscom Park and North Twenty-fourth street,” the ten cars now in the city being intended for that line. The bill of lading for fou received yesterday and the cars are expected to urrive in a day or two, The dynamos for the power house are also on the road and ex- pected daily. They will be set up immedi- ately upon their arrival and the company hopes to be operating their Hanscom park line as soon as this is done. Twnzul" motors and twenty carg have been ordered for this fall’s delivery and they will be operated this winter, “‘We have never had any experience with electric roads here during a hard winter, but. we will have an opportunity to try them this year, aud if everything works satisfactorily we will operate nearly all our lines by alec~ trioity next year,” said Superintendent Smith. The company’s paint shop is pushed to its capaci determined o ropaint all its old cars, horse and cable. Those that have been fiu- isheda look as bright as though new.

Millard,, of the Union Pacific, thinks that President Adams and party will arrive 1n Omaha about next i'ri- day and probably remain here thiee or four days. Speaking of the dispatch from Texas which says Mr. Adams is spying out a route to the gulf, Mr. Millard de- clares the subject has been under con- sideration a long time, According to his statoment, General G, M. Dodge, president of the Denver, Fort Worth & ‘lexas road, has veen making overtures for months looking to the consumation of a deat Wwhereby the Union Pacific can, by taking a lease of his line, secure a southwestern out. let, and thus have achance at the heavy through business which is now virtually coutrolled after leaving Galveston, by the Southern Pacific road. “1 presume, however,” Mr. Millard con- tinu that there are some people in Omaba who will make a vigorous protest aguinst the Union Pacific diverting its trans- continental trafic at Cheyeune, but the change would not affect us in the least. You see, by coming into operative management of the Deuver, Iort Worth & Texas road we would have a direct line from Cheyenne to Galveston.” Railrond Surgeons. The Railroad Surgeons’ Society of Ne- braska is making extensive preparations to render the yoarly meeting at Omaha, Octo- ber 1, a grand success. Reputable prac- titioners of Omaha and the state are invited to participate. The secretary sends a special invitation to railroad surgeons who live in adjoining states, especially Iowa, to put in an appearance. For Seasickness Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate, Or. W. W. Blackman, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “Tam very much pleased with it in seasickness. Several cases have boen brought {o my attention where it afforded prompt re- jof.” HIS FAMILY EXECUTORS. They Are Thus Appointed by the Late J. T ulsen. The will of the late John 'I'. Paulsen was filed for probate in the county court. Itisa lengthy document, sotting forth in the most minute detail the disposition of his property. Firet he directs that all debts agaist him at the time of hus decease be paid in full. Then to nis wife, Anna C. Paulsen, he wills, dur- ing her life time, exclusive control, use of and the benefits arising from lot 9, and the west thirty-five feet of lot 8, in Oxford addi- tion, and lots 32, 83, 34, in Paulsen’s addi- tion, his household goods and personal prop- erty. After all debts shall have been paid he directs his executors to sell whatever real estute remains or rather enough of it to give his wife, four sous, Edmund, Herman F., and William, and two daughter, Emma C., and Augusta, $15,000 each. All real estate then remaining goes to his son Edmund hen the latter shall reach twenty-five years of age, Should he die previous to that time, the proverty in question is to bs divided equally among the others. The dow- ery of his two daughters is to be placed to their credit, at a good rate of interest, payable annually in some safe bank or trust concern. He names as his executors, his wife and four sons. A ROBBERS' ROOST., A Discovery Made Since the Hamilton Arson Oase. William Hamilton, who was arrested Sat- urday night, charged with having set fire to the house of his nephew, W. E. Hamilton, in Harlem lane, has made a statement, in which he charges his nephew of beinga thief, and of keeping his house as a rendez- vous for thieves and a storehouse for stolen Roods. He also asserts that his nephow has @ horse and wagon, which he uses nightly in making forages on his neighbors. The sen- ior Hamilton claims that the house which was buined was tilled with stolen goods, bedding and clothing taken from clothes-lines in various parts of the ci The burn, too, is alleged to be filled with lumber, shingles, carpenters’ and pain:ers’ tools which young Hamilton has taken from buildings that are being constructed in some of the thriving suburbs in the northern part of the city. An addition recently built to the house which ‘was burned, according to the prisoner’s story, was built of lumber stolen in this manner. The police will investigate the charges. The charge of arson against Ham- ilton will be heard on Wednesday. Cbhamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhces Remedy. This medicine cau always be depended upon, not only in the milder forms of summer complaint, but also for malig- nant dysentery and cholera infantum. The lives of many persons and especial- ly children are saved by it each year. HE 18 TOO OBSTREPEROUS, Edward Miller Will Be Compelled to Give Bonds to Keep the Peace. When Edward Miller, a married man of about thirty-eight summers, is given his free- dom from the county jail, where he is now serving out a sentence, he will again be ar- rested. For Edward is a bad, naughty man, He was sent to board with his namesake in the county bastile during the latter days of August, and will repine “in durance vile until September 19. The dual charge upon which he was convicted was robbery snd general cussedness. The former consisted of stealing Mrs. Miller's favorite nickel plated watch, while the latter was the ham- mering of Mrs. Miller and her twelve-year- oid daughter Tillie untii they each resembled a piece of raw beef. o To Mrs, Miller Edward owes his present Dosition in society, for she it was who sent him up, Since his continement he has vowed by all the little gods that ruled from Olymp: thav when ho gets out he will pulverize his spouse and scatter her ashes on the muddy surface of the broad Missouri. To this the lady objects, and with the assistance of an uttorney and a justice of the peace will compel him to put up the neces- sary bonds to keep the peace or linger in durance vile until Lo is weary. Mrs, Miller and daugbter live on Corby street in @ house owned by her. She and Miller have been hving together for twelve years. Forthe last two the old man has been a holy terror, and has threstened to cut, shoot and otherswise maltreat the partner of his joys and sorrows. About @ year ago the woman claims that he kicked the little girl in the back, and that sho has nov yet r covered from the effects of the injuries sus- tained. Now the iron has entered her soul and she does not propose 1o stand it any longer. e AT X. M. A, HALL, Members Combine a Small Amount of Business With Much Pleasure. The young men of the Y, M. C. A. blended pleasure with business at their rezular monthly meeting, held last night, and pleas- ure for the nonco took the lead. ‘There were any aumber of shortaddresses, orawrical efforts and songs. Amoug the features were two vocal solos by Mr, W. R, Carlson, the first, “When the Tide Comes In," and the socoud, 'I'll No'er Forget.' Mr. Carlson did bimself much credit and was the reciplent of hearty applause from the audience, as in fact wera all who partici- pated in the evening’s entertainment. The Crawer_brothers sang & vocal duet with much effect. Mr. W. S. Heller amused the audience with a number of reeitations in Dutch dialect, among whioh ware “Holfen- stein's Courtship” and “Marriage, from the Standpoint of 4 Harber.” ~ Mr. Heller proved bimself an admirable mimic and kept the sudience well entertained for & haif Lour or wore, After the social features of the programme had beeu given the reular routine monthly business was transacted, and after that re- freshments wero served. Peurs’ is the purest and best soap ever made, PROGRESS OF THE STATE FAIR The Exhibitions' About Ship Shape. Al In EVERYTHING LOOKS LOVELY. State House Mattbrs—New Notaries Puablic—~The Résads File Their Answers ' 0n the Coal Rates Order. P Sraser, LixcouLy, Sept 9. Something of a hazy atmosphere covered the state fair grounds vhis morning, with prominent indications of & rain, This hazi- ness continued until about noon, when it cleared up and the day was as fine as one could wish. There was no regular pro- grammo to-day except in the speed ring. In most of the departients the work of prepa- ration continued, and the superintendents and officers were kept busy answering the questions of the exhibitors and assisting them to place their products. An extra force of clerks were employed in the secretary’s office and the bustle aand hurry were kept up all day. Visitors ‘were scarce all forenoon, but the grounds filled up nicely in the afternoon to sce the races. The Rapid Transit, the Burlingtou and the Elkhorn roads ran trains out every fifteen minutes. Agricultural hall continues to be the chief attraction. Everyone on leaving the gate makes for this ball and is soon lost in the maze of the big pumpkins, squashes, cab- bages and beets, and the wonderful array of Nebruaska's greatest cereal, corn. The county exhibits, except Adams, are all in and have Dbeen put in position. Douglas county occupies the entire south half of the west wing, and the exhibit is not only large in size, but very complete in de- tail. The gentlemen who have this exhibit in charge have good reason to be proud of their work and the county can congratulate itself on the showing it has made. The exhibit of the Nebraska experimental farm in connection with the state university occupies the west eud of the north half of the west wing, and attracts considerable at- tention from the farmer visitors, Just east of the university exhibit is Cum- ing county, which is never behind in her products. Cuming county did Nebraska proud at an Iowa oxhibition two years ago, und sho seems to be keeping up her end of the string pretty well to-day. Chase county is divided in position. One part occupies the northwest angle and the other the southeast angle of the main build- ing, and her products, like all those from the wester part of the state, prove conclusively that Nebraska is a farming state all over. Washington and Antelope counties occupy the west haifof the north wing with very com- pleta and very attractive exhibits. The chief feature of these counties, like those in most of the counties on exhibition, is the big dis- play of corn, If anything is lacking to con- vince one that corn 18 really king and grass the queen of Nebraska, a turn through this hall will certainly convince him. Antelope county has a large and handsome live an- telope in its exhioit,' which not only attracts attention, but serves to exemplify the name. Thomas and Lancaster counties have the easy half of the north ‘wing. Lancaster is old, well settled and her capabilities have long been demonstrated, but Thomas, which is new and on the frontier, makes a showing which is very creaitable for the far west. I. S. Cutter and C. C. Wright, of Thedford, are in charge of the exhibit. = * @Dundy county occipies the northeast angle. Its exhibit of agricultural products are up to those of the more eastern counties, and have been very avtractively arranged by Mesars. Atkinson, Parsons, Startie and Renny. Be- sides their agricultural products, they huve mounted specimens of the beaver, the prairie dog, the otter and buffalo heads. Kearney, Perkins and Frontier counties occupy the east half of the south wing with exhibits which put to shame the old theory that corn could not be raised profitably west of the one-hundredth meridian. Thayer and Saunders occupy the west half of the south wing with attractive exhibits, in which corn is the chief feature. The Saun- ders county corn king and grass queen con- tinue to be the chief attraction. Hayes county occupies the southwest angle of the main building with an exnibition of corn and other agricultural products that would attract marked attention in any fair east of the Mississippi river. LINCOTN Bwunuxoanl OMATA Baw, } Horticultural Hall. Horticultural hall assumed shape to-day, and, as usual, drew the bulk of the visitors, The exhibit made by the state horticultural society, which occupies the entire west and north wings, is sufficient to demonstrate the fact that Nebraska is not only a corn state and a grass state, but a fruit state as well. Apnles, pears, peaches, plums, Apricots, crab apples, etc., in great abundance and of very fine auality cover the numerous plates on the shelves. The east and south wings are devoted to a show of plants and green house goads. In this department Omaha comes in for the lion’s share, aud 18 repre- sented by A. Hooge, Hess & Swaboda, W. H. Foster & Sonand J. W. & E. E. Arnold. ‘W. J. Hesser, of Plattsmouth, has a fine dis- play, as have Sawyer & Co.,of Lincoln. The only amateur display is by Mrs. Anna Parks, of this city. Her display compares very fav- orably with those made by the professionais. Ouster County's Exhibit. The rivalry at Agricultural hall for the first premiums this year will be even more intense than tast. It will be friendly, how- ever, and therefore of the pleasant kind. Visitors on entering the hall, who attended the fair last year, will be impressed with the prominence of the general exhibit at once. Iv is simply marvelous, and contains every imaginable product of the soil. More than prominent among the exhibits may be meu- tioned that of CUSTER COUNTY. It will be remembered that this county took the (our‘i)l'lncipll premiums last year, and 1t will ard for the same uonor the Many visitors pronounce exhibit in the hall glaoce. But a word as to what it is: Think of twenty varieties of wheat, fifteen of spring and five of winter, sixteen of oats, spring and fall rye, four kiuds of buckwheat, thiree of bariey, forty of corn, two of millet, three of flax, timothy seed, forty vavicties, 0f potatoes, fifteeu of onions, and then the pumpkins, squashes, melons, beets, turnips. carots, parsnips and everything of the sort and kink, and the reader gathers o faint conception of the mag- nificeace of this county’s exhibit. Every- thing is perfect, Withal the exhibitis ar- ranged to attract. The archway is festooned with grasses, nativp gnd tame, and the countless buudles speuk louder than words of the festivity of the soil and the worth of the county for grazing purposes. These show AINLESS 'ween seventy and eighty of the native grassos besides the different tame varioties, including the millets and clovers, Two hun- dred and forty sheaves of wheat, oats, e and barley also adorn the arch, besides broom corn, cane and corn in stalk. The ex- hibit is in charge of Superintendent W. H. Cramer, of Horwin, assisted by Mr. M. A. B. Martin and G. R. Russum, of Broken Bow; R. H. Thompson and J. L. H. Knight, of Lee Park. But the report of this exhibit would not be complete without mentioning the dairy products, butter antl cheese. These are as fine and perfect as ever attracted at- tention at a state fair. Custer county will not have to beg for awards. York County. As York is one of the best counties in Ne- braska, 8o she has one of the best and most practical exhibits on the ground. It is in charge of J. W.:Small, a real estate man, Dr. M. H. Reedar and L. D. Stillson, of the Star. They have not attempted to spend their force on artistio elegance, but have placed on exhibition some of the best corn, potatoes, onions, beets, fruits, graios, grasses and other vegetables that are to bo found in the wast. They show also some celery raised by W. A. Yarborough that for 8ize, bleaching and crispness will compara favorably with the celebrated celery of Kal- amazoo, Mich. They make a specialty in this exhibit of the two great staples of Neo- braska products, corn and grasses, for which York county has a_well known reputation. Thoy also make a nice display of the pro- duct of the York Canning company. Visite ors will not fail to see the York exhibit in the north side of the east wing of agricul- tural hall, Art Hal The work of- proparation went on all day long in Ayt hall. In the early morning it looked like there was hardly room for any- thing more, but the drays and vans kept coming and unloading and the exhibitors and superintendents were flying hither and thither changing chaos into order. This evening Art hall is a ver able rairy bower. The Live Stock. Tre Ber has already noticed the horse dis- play to a certain extent, ana to-day it wishes toadd only this, that while the display is equal to that of any previous year, it would have boen much larger but for the unforth- nate misunderstandiog between the board and the officers of the Draft Horse Broed- ers’ association, which has hurt the horse show to a certain extent, but it is still very creditable to the fair. .

The Industrial achool bank, of Kearney, discourses entertaining music on the grounds. Superintendent Mallaleiu says he has good reason to be proud of them. Eastern Colorado is represented agricul- turally in a distinct builaing. Shirley and his sod house are attractions again this year. He nas a much better dis- play this year than last. His pets are his mammoth, pumkins, squashes and melons. The cereals also take a conspicuous place in his exhibit. There are a few very officious policemen on the grounds. The ostrich man is the constant center of admiring crowds, His exhibit arrived this morning. The birds are autractive but not pretty. They were plucked i1n July and much of their gaudy plumage is gone. The stalls and pens for the cattle, hogs and sheep are all full and the "animals will rank with anything ever shown in the west. Madam Marrenet was out on the track to- day exhibiting her park and saddle horse, Woodlawn, to the saddle and n harness. Her exhibitions are interesting and were witnessed by large crowds, who watched her every moment. The fish exhibit, which always draws the crowd, is bandsomer than ever. The poultry show and the bee and honey exhibits are all in place. The collected displays are all in shape and the fair will begin business in the morning at the old stand. Dr. Billings, of hog cholera fame, showed up to-day and gazed on the crowds and had them gaze on him. He says that he has the world by the tail in his new insurance scheme, ‘The attendance to-day was estimated vari- ously from 8,000 to 10,000. To-morrow is children’s day. The Railroads Talk. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minueapolis & Omaha and the Union Pacific railroad com- pauies filed answers this morning regaraing the coal rates recently made by the state board of transportation. The Gmaha road alleges that the board 1s not authorized by lawgo make any such an order; that the making of this order 18 in excess of their jurisdiction, and therefore null and vold. They deny that the rates now in force are unjust or unreasonable, but on the contrary are fair and equitable to all concerned, They assert that the rates proposed by the board are grossly unjust and unreasonable, and will not, if enforced, defray the cost of the service, leaving no return on the capital in- vested. That the company owns and operates 24112 miles of road In this state, which has cost $42,000 per mile, or a total of over $10,000,000; that the road is mortgaged at the rate of $15,000 per mile, on which they are paying 6 per cent interest, which, if the rates are at- tempted to be enforced, they will not be able to pay. The answer is very voluminous and full of stati and special pleadings in their behalf. The Missouri Pacific's answer is in much the same strain, and equally voluminous and full of special pleadings, The board meets the 12th to hear these cases. Dying F'rom a Rusty Nail Scrateh. C. F.
