THE RIVER-BANK ROMANCE. How the Unlon Pacific Is Not Op- posing the Nebraska Central. A MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD fhe Unfounded Story Which the World-Herald Published to Oreate a Prejudics Against the Viaduct Bonds, A Tne. “There is abaolutely no trath in the World- Herald's statoment,” smd Vice President Folcomb of the Union Pacific, “that we are obstructing the Nobraska Centra’s proposed bridgo schome by building twenty-oneor any other number of tracks across the line of its site. It is intimated that we are not only trying to mjure the Nebraska Centrai’s chances of getting a bridge, but ask that corporation to keep its hands off and make 0 fight on tho viaduct bonds. Such a state- ment is surd, but it shows how desperate Mr, Hitchoock is becoming in bis effort to defeat the bonds, “The quickess way for anybody who doubts what Isay to tind out whether this story in the World-Ferald is truc or false, 1 for him to go down on the bottoms and con- vince himself. We are laying one track from a point near the smelting works to the property of the East Omaha land company, That is on the low level ground and could not, even though it does cross tne path of the' Nebraska Centrul's proposed bridge, bo considered an obstruction to that enterprise. It runs afong the river bank and would bo from twenty to forty feet below the elova- tlon of any briage.” “When " did you track?'” *“I'he Union Pacific and Burlington com anies entered 10to & joint contract to build t when Mr. Potter was general manager and long before the bond proposition for the Ne- braska Central bridge was thought of. 1 don’t think the men interested in that corpo- ration will say that we are doing auything to obstruct their plans, The World-Herald's soreed is 0 dovoid of facts as to be a com- plete give away. It is nothing more nor less than a tissue of falsehoods and misrepresen: tatous from beginning to end, gotten up purposely to injure our chances of carrying the Tenth strect viaduct bonds, T. L. Kimbail, the third vice president, confirmed everything Mr, Holeomb had said and added: “It will be an unfortunate blow to Omaha if theso bonds are defeated. It would sim- ly prevent the expenditure next year of not jess than half a million of doilars, to say nothing about the cmployment that & great many luboring men_would be deprived of. Furihermore, the $150,000 in bonds asked for are to secure an improvement in the shape of @ viaduct that will cost §200,000. Therelore, the city will getallthe benefit. Besides that, the company is, under the agreement, compeilea to spend as much more on the depot building before it can touch the bonds. I can assurc you, so far s the No- braska Central bridgo is . concerned, that wo have never eithor through lobbyists av Washington or otherwise, lifted a finger to obstruct it. Our tracke on the bottom could not. be considered an obstruc- tion. If such a bridge as the one proposed i8 buiit it would necessarily require a long viaduct approach, similar to tho Douglas street bridge, and thus carry its tracks above every thing thoy term an obstruction.’” Mr. Poppleton, who bas large interests in the north part of town, was scen. Ho said that beforo he resigued tho general attorney- ship of the Union Pacific the East Omaha laud company had made arrangements to enlarge. At _his and others' instance prop- erty owners morth of Sulphur springs ar- ranged to have mot more than one or Lwo tracks laid out to East Omaha, The Bur- lington road, through Mr. Holdrege, joined in the enterprise, the purposo being to devote that part of the city to trackage for manu- facturing and milling purposes. Mr. Pob- pleton does not believe that the laying of these few tracks will interfere with the con struction of the new bridge approaches. John A, McShane and J. H. Dumont, who are identified with the Nebraska Central en- terprise, declare that thero is no foundation for the' World-Herald's report. *1 don’t undcrstand,” said Mr. MoShane, *‘where they got such information, I do know, howcver, that tho officials of tho Union ' Pacific ~ are friendly to our proposition and will do all they can to help it also. On the other hand, we are strongly in favor of the viaduct bonds, re- gardless of what position anybody may take towards tho Nebraska Central: I can’s un- derstand what exigoncies should exist or what condition people can put themselves in to oppose and vote agalnst an lmprovuu\en! that 18 for the public benofit. If there is any reason why this city should not vote $150,000 in bonds t0 secure an improvement cost- 1o halt. bF three-quarters of a million 1 have not been able to discover it. No, the Union Pacific company is not obstructing our plaus.” Mr. Dumont endorsed Mr. MeShano's views. conclude to lay this A Wila Ride. General Superintendent Dickenson and the nowspaper representatives who went out with the fast mail train on its first trip had an experience between Evanston and Ogden that they will not soon forget. On account of hot boxes and one or two other in- cidenes that caused deiays, forty min- utes' time was lost between Cheyenne and Laramie, which because of the steep rades could not be made up before reach- fg}«,vunamu. From that place to Ogdon, the tract is nov ouly full of sharp curves, around mountain peaks and along the dizzy edges of the deep canyons, but has an ascent of 210 feot to the mile. Bill Dowuey, & famous knignt of the throttle "was the engineer who hooked on at Evanston, and when told that he must make up the forty minutes and get into Ogden on time, he smiled quietly to himself and said: Al right.” The distance is seventy-six miles and Mr, Downey covered it in seventy- ave winutes, but he nearly frightened the life out of everybody on board, In filml around some of thoso curves he rew the passengers out of their seats and made them seasick, Twice Mr. Dickenson pulled the bell rope on him to slacken his woed but this ouly disgusted the fearless illiam and impelled him to go much faster, Want Federation. ‘fhe Union: Pacific engineers at Laramio aro favorable to the federation plan. At a largely attended weeting held by tnem they unanimously voted to adopt and ratify the articles recently proposed. One engineer is quoted as sayivg: “*Wae propose to see if this ndiscriminate slaughtor of men is to continue. Under the a::lanl. wanagement no man oun this division any security whatever, He1s liable to e ordered to quit at any minute, When the dederation is completed we shall make no re- quests; we shall make doemands, Of course we shall insisi upon the removal of T'rain- smaster Parsons, but our prime demand will e that Superintendent Darr ve displaced. ‘The demand will be in the interest n( the men who have been temporarily laid off for trivial and insufficient reasons." froiisddasnl A GUOD COMMITTEE.

The Art Exhibitiop Is Attracting Un« usual (nterest, T'he art exhibition rooms still attract many visitors, who study the pictures, crit them, and in ome cases buy them. They wander through the gallories, form in groups, and chat of art and the possibility of Omaha becoming an art center. A great many of the pictures grow on one the oftener they are seen, Some pitures have come in since the openiing of the exhibition that are worth looking up. Ove of the latest is & charmiag water color hungn the chi Itis calied *Gill Brook, Lieutenant C. A. Worden, U. S. A Mr. ‘Worden has succeeded in getting a wonaer- ful atmospheric offect, uud the picture breathes of the cool, swéet quiet of a woody nook. Tho pictures of Mr. J. C.

A head of Whittier and a study of “A City Rose,” both in cruyon. The city roso is o dainty city maiden, a veritable bud. The portrait of Whittier is a faitbful portrait, but not so characteristic as might be wishod. In the china gallery is a good bust por. trait in plaster of Mr. Lininger, by Willism Bruett. It is an excellont likeness only marred by the bronzing. Mr. A. . Cameron has two excellent still life studies, one u squash and somo tomatoes and the other a rather Bohemian combina- tion of a glass half full of wine, and the in. evitable corncob pipe and package of tobacco. Mrs. Balback exhibits screen, on the va- rious panels of which are painted snow-bulls, lilacs and morning glories. The handling of theso rather difficult flowors is excellent. The visitors today were maiuly out-of- town art admirers, ‘Thero were delegations from Plattsmouth, Waterloo, Nebraska City sud Tekawmab) and quito & number of them. M. Lininger sugzested that the peopie of Omala exhibit o little more enthusiasm in buying the productions of our home artists. The cheap daub and the tea store chromo idea is a thing of the past in Omaha, and the owners of the many beautiful homes in this city are casting about for art works to brighten their walls. Many of the pictures hava already boen spoken for, and it is thought & large number of them will be disposed of before the close of the exhibition. Anguish Unspeakable is endured by the victims of inflammatory rheumatism, and any form of the discas may reach that agonizing phaso or atuac the heart and cause death, Unhappily they who feel its prelimary twinges seldom realize this, Like other possibly dangerous maladies, rhoumatism is often disregarded at the outset. Well will it be for nim if this brief warning shall serve asa warning of future peril or pain to a reader troubled with incipient rheumatism. The proper sequel will be on instactaceous resort to the great preventive depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, whoso brevet of professional com- mendation popular experiance has confirmed.

The County Commissioners Canvass- ing for Several Chairmanships, There is a very pretty preliminary skirmish going on over the prospective orgaunization of the county commissioners’ board for next year. The retirement of Mr. Mount breal the combination and the old members are wondering what disposition can be made of Mr. Berlip, Mr. Anderson wants to be chairman of the new board. He regrets very much any change that will take the chair- manshipof the finance committee out of nis hands, but is willing to do the martyr act this time, especially as i his capacity of chairman of the board, if ne gots i, he would be ex-officio n member of all committees and have his little say just the same, Mr. Corrigan will support Mr. Anderson for the chairmanship of the board and expects the chairmanship of the finance committee as his reward. Mr. Turner and Mr. O'KKeeffe “aint sayin’ a word.” There ig also an_aspirant for the position now held by Webb, the commissioner’s clerk. Mr, Bruner, the superintendent of jnstruction, doesn’t want to see the county deprived entirely of his services and since he can’t be superintendent any more, is quictly seeking the appontment as clerk for the commissioners. Mr. Anderson favors him and Mr. Mount would also if 1t would do any good. The change, however, if any is made, will_not occur until after the new year and Mr. Mount's influeace at that time will be that of an outsider, We are the Peoble, Business men from Nebraska for Chi- cago, Milwaukee and all eastern cities will please note that by the new iime scheSule (in effect from and after No- vember 17, 1889), they can arrive at Omahaabout 4 p. m., can do business or visit with Omaha merchants and friends for nearly two hours, and can then take the through Pullman sleeping car of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway short line fast truin at Omaha depot of the Union Pacific railway at 6 Y m.

Frank Kirkland, an employe of the Union Pacific shops at Kansas City, met a horrible death Wednesday night in a peculiar andae- structive wreck in the Union Pacific yards in this ci John Kirkland, the father of the deceased, is asquatter and has two frame shanties standing en the south side of Jones streot just west of Sixth street. The switeh spurs of tha Union Pacific run to within a few feet of the more westerly of the houses and are unprotected at the ond by the customary bumping-vosts. This shanty was 14x20 feot in dimen siovs and was used as a swrage room. It was filled with oid furoiture, coal and u varied assortment of junk.

This was supposed ut the Lime to be the extent of the damage done and no attention was paid to th Ckuntil 7 a.m., yesterday morning, when & wrecking crow was sent Lo clear up the debris. When the workmen pulled the freight car trom the wreck the dead body of # man was discovered lying among the debris in one corner of the room. ;l'h?l body proved to be that of Frank Kirk. and. Kirkland came here from Kansas City sev- eral weeks ago, having veen injured while at work in the Union Pacific shops at that place. He has been living with his sister on Eloventh street. Wednesdny evening he paia a visit to his father's house at xth and Jones street and left at o'clock to return to his sister's house. It is sup- posed that, instead of going home, he went into the storage shauty and lay down on Kearney’s bed, where he met his fearful death. His 'remains were removed to Drexel & Maul's, Kirland was twenty-seven years of age. and was unmarrie The elder Kirkland, while almost crazed witn grief at_the death of bis son, said be haa been expecting some such tragedy for a long time, He rofused to protect its switch tracks with bumping posts for the sole purpose of trying to terrify and compel him to leave b The railroad company was repe ; an attorvey and o rik from their keeal de- partment, us well as a_short-hand_reporter. ‘The family of the dcad man was ulso repre- sented by an attorney. The first witness examimed was W. L. Cook, the foreman of the yard crew which was handling the train which caused the accident. Mr. Cook testified that he cut off one car on the mamn line, and then cut off unother oar on the side track, gomg with this car to s1o0p it when it had reached the proper point, Before he had goue far he heard the train behind him break and saw several cars com- g down the side track. here is a pretiy steep grudo at that place and he set the brake on the first car, after which tio jumped down and caugit the runaw: set_the brakes on those and jumped oft. The brakes did not stop the cars, Lowever, and e heard them crash into the first car and then mto the house. ‘Lhe first house is about tiwo car lengths from the end of the track. Two cu and the forward tracks of tho third ear-loft the track. The cars were not ‘kicked” down the side track, but were ut a dead stop when the first cur wus cut off. When the engine “bucked up" the train broke two, and the cars started down the grade. On cross-cxumination by the attorney for the relatives of the deccased the witness #ted that he would not whether thero Was a “*bumping post” at the endof the track or not, as _he had never had occasion to go down tothe end of the track and did not know what condition it was in. After the cars had stopped he went to uhe houses and inquired if anyone had been hurt, but was told by an old gentleman thatno ono had been in the first houso and that those in the other nouse were all safe. He went to both houses twice, to make sure no one was hurt, and looked around by the light of his lantern, but found nothine. C. Fitzzerald, another of the train crew, was the next witness. He stated that he wus near the front end of ihe train, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, The engine was up near the elevator, The witness was out of sight of the accident. He went down to the scene about 9 p. m., but saw no one who was hurt. On_ being questioned by the atiorney the witness raid he had never been to the end of tne track and did not know whether there was a bumper there or not. There were thirty-five cars in the train, The next witoess was A. M. Summers, another member of the train crew.

The old man broke down when Lie twok the stand and could not control the teurs which coursed down his cheeks. In a few moments he recovered hus composure and guve his testimony in a struightforward way. He swid be had be on & visit to {riends and relatives in Iowa for about five months, and had not seen his eon since he came back. He returned home shortly before the accident and wentont again immeaiately. When he hoard of the accident he mquired if anyonc was burt and was told everyone was safe. He did not know his son had been to the house. He had occupied the houses for twenty-Lwo years and used the house nearest tho track for a storercom. Could ot say whether anyone slept in the old house or not as he had been away, ‘There had never been a bumping post at the end of the track, he said, and the cars nad run off the ena several times. A few months ago some cars had crashed nto the house and broken a hole in the side. Thomas Kirkland, a brother of Frauk, testifiod, His testimony was, in the mam, the same as his father's. He also stated that after the accident he looked over the ruins with a lantern and saw Kearney’s overco .t. He at once started to hunt for Kearney and found him in a neighboring saloon, e looked no further, as be had no idea any one ‘woulda be in the house except Kearney. On beiog questioned further the witness stated that when the cars ran into the house the last ime his father and himself had gone to the yardmaster and asked him to have the end of the track fixed so they would not kill any one, The yardmaster merely laughed and said be would sce about it. Nothing had been done to preveat an accident, Mrs. Aliie Kirkland, the wife of the last witness, was then examined, but nothiug new was elicited except the fact that the body when found was lying half way under the car, and the pillow under the head'of the dead man was vut clean in two, ‘Yhe trucks of the first car had passed through the first house and nearly through the second. When she heard the noise she picked up her two little chiidren and ran out of the bousa just @s the trucks crasbed into the house, upset- tiug the stove and breaking nearly every- thing 1 the house.
