OMAHA. @hey Find That the Present Charge of $20 Per Car on Live Stock 18 Fx- cessive and Recommend a Rate of $25. Taxcory, Neb,, June 23.—[Special to T me. | —Tho state board of trans portation met #his afternoon at 2 o'clock at the call of the rotaries to consider a report submitted by oreturies Garber and Gilchrist under the resolution adopted by the board wherein the secrotaries were instructed to investigate as 20 the cost of the railroads and to report a schedule of maximum rates based on a reason- able rate of income upon the capital actually nvested in thoe construction of the roads, In- cidentally a report was submitted with refer- gnce to the complaint of G. C. Barnum vs the Union Pacific railway company concerning the rate on shipments of live stock from Qolumbus to South Omaha. The report given Pelow was submitted by Secretary Garber: P The complaint, in substance, is of the rate of trausportation of live stock from Columbus go South Omaha. ® The facts are as follows: The respondont's Yate for the transportation of live cattle and hogs from Columbus to South Omaha is $20 per thirty-foot car, other lengths taking fixed porccntigos of that rate. Tho distance from ‘olumbus to South Omaha by the railroad of the dofendant company is _approximately inety-two miles. The rate of shipments of ve cattle from Columbus to Chicago by the e of the defendant and its connections was, the time of the briuqhu{ of this complaint, { cents por hundred pounds, subject to & pitmiinte \arize of $43.48 per car. T his rate s the result of o war on live stock rates be- tween competitive lines carrying the live stock traftic from lower Missouri river points 10 Chicago, the results of that conflict being 10 reduce the rate from Kansas City to Chi- €ago from 25 cents per hundred pounds to 124§ cants | sion of changes, Tho prevailing rates to South Omaha on five stock from stations within competitive distances of Columbus are as follows: Schuy- ler, about sixteen miles cast of Columbus on the Union Pacific, $23 per car; Benton, half way between Schuyler and Columbus, §20; Duncan and Gardner, cight and fourteen milos respectively west of Columbus on Unioni Pacific, §20 each; Oconee, Platte Cen- ter, Burrows, Mouroe, Matson and Genoa, stations north and west of Columbus on the Republican Valley branch of the Union Pa- cific, the rates are §29, the same as at Colum- bus. While Bellwood and David City, south- east of Columbus on the Burlington rond (the last nawed city is a_competitive point be- tween the Union Pacific, the Elkhorn and the Burliugton), the rutes are 826 spectively. Columbus is a ma acific. Its situation entitles it to as low if not lower rates than are mude from stations further distant and lo brauch lines of costlicr traftic service, Your sceretaries find that a rate of £29 per car, standard length, on shipments of live cattle and hogs,” from Columbus to South Omaha as compared with the rates prevailing from stations located in competitive territory with Columbus, is uniust and unreasonable and an act of discrimination against shippers Columbu: ving of live stock to market is po- tself. The character of the service er proportionate consideration than the charges for the sume, The smallest Limit in time of transit is of the greatest im- portance to shippers. An unnccessary delay of an hour or two results in a shrinknge in weight for which a few dollars less in tho freight charges is no adequate compensation. Anud yet it is undoubtedly true that the rates nerally on live stock are lower in view of he service porformed, and risks assumed in trausit by the carricrs than on any other trafic. ‘The rate shown aro not to the road. From the rate is deducted 75 conts Wheitever _shipper bods tho car; §1.50 1s uid the stocle yards company for hauling he car to the pens and for unloading tho samo, Tt is the conclusion of the secretaries that $25 por car, standard length, is a reasonablo rato for shipments of live cattle and hogs from Columbus to South Omaha; other sta- tions within the territory adjacent to Colum- bus to ho adjusted in _conformity therewith ppon principles of equity and justice, | STATE HOUSE NEWS, The following notarial appointments were made today by Governor Thayer: J.

The Pauley Vault Agent Does Not Answer the Charge of Bribery. It was anticipated, with a great deal of anxicty on the part of county officials gener- ally as well as many contractors, that the trial of Charles L. Wundt, charged with bribery in the Pauley vault job, would com- mence in the district court yesterday morning. There were many spectators present who had cvidently come for the sole purpose of listening to the case, Every one concerned in the case was pres- ent with a noticeablo_exception. The excep- tion was Charles L. Wundt. It will be remembered that Wundt was in- dicted by the last grand jury for attempting to bribe’ County Commissioner O'Keeffo in connection with the contracts for the vaults in the court house. When the indictment was returned Wundt came forward and presented C. W, Hamilton, president of the United States National bank @s his surety on the $1,600 bond, fixed by tho court. At the'end of last term of court Mr. Mahoney informed General Cowin, counsel for Wundt, that if he would agree to haye his client on hand for trial this term he would not require the formal reuewal of the old bond, as is customary when a case of this kind is carried over from one term to another, Mr. Mahoney says that General Cowin agreed to this. Last week the latter was notified that the case would come up yesterday, but for some reason the general failed to have his client on hand. Mr. Mahoney says he will proceed against Mr. Hamilton if Wundt is not immediately produced. Tho worst that could befall Wundt in case of convietion would be simply a fine of 500, Judge Clarkson made an order fixing the bond of J. H. Clampitt at $1,000. It was done at the request of prisoner’s 'counsel. Before making tho entry the court called upon Mr. Mahoney for his opinion in tho ciso, tho point being that the lower court had fixed tho bond at §1,500. Mr. Mahoney explained how Clampity had been brought back from Balti- more after running off while under a $1,500 bond, but added that he thought a bond 'for 1,000, if a good one, would be just as likely to hold him as ono for %00 mors. Counsel ~for prisoner said that his client had, in running away, acted upon the advice of 'those who v then, but aro not now, his friends The first count in_the information against Wm. A. O'Leary, the Council Bluffs hack- man chi ith robbing a pascenger of $100, was dismissed on motion of the county attorney, and he will be tried simply for lar- cony as bailee, Judge Hopewell and a jury took up the case of John P. Mertis, a German about fifty- five years old, against the Union Pacific rail- road compuny, for $1,199 damages for injuries received by being run into by an engine at Sheeley’s station about four years ago. One of Wertis' ribs were broken and his shoulder dislocated. Judge Doane is still holding court in the equity court room. and yesterday took up the [ of Mrs. A. M. Lewis against D. C. and William Patterson. Mrs. Lewis secks to recover the title to her home in the northwestern part of the city, in Ragan’s addition, alleging that a deed to the property was obtained by the Patter- sons by fraud. Mrs, Lewis was put upon the stand yesterday and testified that the Patter- son brothers had induced her to trade her Omaha proper pme lots in San Diego, Cal., and pe i paper which was Tepres iption of the property, but which afterwards turned out to be a warranty deed for the Omaha property Patterson. She was to have received a certain sum of money, by the terms of the agreement, but nothing more was said to her about the matter and Patterson sold the prop- erty to a third party. At this time Patterson was keoping company with Mrs. Lewis' daughter, according to Mrs. Lewis’ test mony, and promised to deed the property to \ L the da ter it sheswould marry him.

An Analysis of the Curious Body— Phenomena Accompanying Its Ap- pearance—Other Famous Meteors and Their Scientific Value. Within the last fifteen years there have been four meteoric showers in the state of Towa, Two of these were among the most brilliant of modern tim: One of the meteors fell at 12:20 o'clock on the night of February 12, 1875; the other fell about 7 o'clock in the evening of May 2 last. The meteor could not have been scen from_any other point_between Des Moines and St. Paul. ~ As it moved rapidly through the atmosphere it pro- duced a variety of sounds, none of which were at all conducive to the mental comfort of those not learned in meteoric lore. The noises were of a rolling, rumbling and detonating nature, and of such fear- ful intensity that they shook the houses as if they were moved by an earthquake, The heavenly body ex- ploded when about ten miles from the earth with a frightful sound and scat- tered meteorites weighing m one- quarter of an ounce to_ sixty pounds on a field threo miles long and one mile wide. While the meteoric field was in a thickly settled part of Towa county none of the stones are known to have struck either house, man or beast, says the St. Louis Republican. 1f anything or anyone _had _ been struck it would undoubtedly have been known. Meteorites fall with such force that one an inch square would kill any man, and almost any beast were they struck by it. There are not, how- evor, any woll authenticated cases of death. from such a cause in this country, and there ave but two cases recorded an) where, One of these happened fin 1654, near Milan, when a Franciscan monk was killed by a small m rite; and the other occurred July 24, 1790, near Bor- deaux, where a stone fifteen in diameter foll into a hut, killing & herdsman and a But the Damocles’ record of a tone is constantly suspended over our heads. But this should frighten no one, as only one person in muny hundred millions come to to an un- timely end in this singular manner, Notwithstanding the numberof meteors seen in space, very few of them strike the earth. Those that do not, go back in space. Theymove as fast through space us the earth, and sometimes much faster, The motion is retarded by contact with the air. Thisfriction gives the heat and consequently the light. Very fow of them are projected in such a way as to strike theearth. Asthe meteorshoots through spi if it has a motion which directs it towards the earth, the pressure con- the air under it and causes the the meteor fell in Towa in 1875, a meteoric stone, weighing seven pounds, was found precisely where ob- servers had seen a ‘“glowing coal” de- scond to the earth, Farmers working their fields in the latter part of the month found about 400 pounds of meteoric stones on the meteoric field. Thoso evidently formed only a small fragment of tho entire metcoric body, s0 the wholo mass must have weighed 5,000 pounds. This meteor ranks with those of Pul- isk, Poland, which fell Junuary 30, ; Kuyahula, Hungary, June 9, 1866; Orguell,” France, May 4, 1864 the ono which fell ~ in' Guernsey county, Ohio, May 1, 1860, and cen from the Ohio to the At- Parnallee, India, Februar Aigle, France, April 26, 180: which v Thi it Towa meteor consisted of an clongated pear-shaped mass of the most dazzling whiteness. Thebulk of the mass was about two thousand feet long and four hundred feet in dinmeter, the narrow white trail was about four thousand feet long and forty feet in di- ameter. The body was posteriorly en- veloped by a much less brilliant trail, hading from orange inside to green- ish outside, and ~ extending about nine miles along the path of the moteor. Persons in the track of the meteor saw such a brilliant circular disk of white light surrounded by an orage to greenish halo, the dim tight of which was constantly traversed by narrow bands of brilliant light, run- ning from the central disk in irregularl curved lines toward the cir As the body, increasimg in brill appavent magnitude, was rapidly ap- proaching the carth 'both men and ani- mals were overcome by fear, The me- teor, when it struck the atmosphere of tne earth and became visible, was at an altitude of 150 miles vertically above the town of Pleasantville, Mo., and finally exploded over a point threo miles south- cast of Norway, la.,, at an altitude of about ten mil While the meteor crossed the northwestern (Prairie) town- ship of Keokuk county it w n to divide into two equal parts, a small eastern portion continuing ifs motion northeastward, but soon losing its b lianey, and a seven to fourteen times areater western portion which remained intensely brilliant until its final explo- sion. 1t was the smaller portion of the meteor which produced the meteoric shower in Towa and Amana townkhips of Iowa county. While dividing the meteor produced two tremendous detonations after the main body had crossed the railroad at Marcngo it produced three terrvific detonations which shook buildings for miles avound. A variet sounds were heard over a 1 of 150 miles in diametos farthest away from the orbit it chimneys were fire. Those nearest the t prolonged rumbling and rolling scund, which they compared to a train running v h and long trestle bridge, The meteorite stones soon had a ma ket value. Two dollars a pound wer offered for all that could be obtained. One stone weighing forty-four pounds was found and sold to a *meteor broker” for $2.50, 1t was sold in a few days to an astronomer for 388, The meteorites are always covered with a black crust, mak ing them to all intents and purposes com- plete stones. The smallest stone so far lound weighs ahout two ounces, the largest 624 times that much or seventy eight pounds. The crust of the fragmen- tary stones is formedduring the cosmi part of their motion through the earth’s atmosphere, The crust is fusion, but simply to the he: outer layer of the stone to n i has been proved by Mennier. These meteorites are exceedingly tough, and it is difficult to break thém up; this is due to the iron grains being partly connectected by fibres and folia Still the nickeliferous is prese those sounded as if their tached masses, or occurs sporadically in the stone.
