. THE OMAHA DAILY THE CITY VIADUCT BONDS. ‘What Will Bs Done with Them After They Aro Registered ? VIEWS OF THE MAYOR AND CITY ATTORNEY' Flow the Bonds Passed from the City Comptroller Through T. L. Kim- ball to State Auditor Benton, The question of turning over the $150,000 viaduet bonds o the Union depot compiny, in view of the rocent action of the Union Pa- cifio railroad comnany in freezing out the @hicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chi- cago, Rock Island & Pacifie, which desired to cross the bridge nto this city, was the subjectof much discussion among a number of the city officials yesterdaymorning. When solicited for his views regarding the asiguation, and as to what he would do with the bonds, Mayor Cushing said that there ‘Would be no starchaiber session when the bonds were turned over. The city comptroller ‘and city attorney would both be on hand, and some of the aldermen would also be present as witnesses, If tho railroad compu man- aged to get hold of the bonds in some other way it would be fllegal, and he thought that it ‘would lay vhe railroad officials criminally lia- ble, The bonds were eific or to the ot to go to the Union Pa- Union depot company direct, but were 0 be turned over to Kountze brothers as trustees, by whom they were to be held for acertain period. He did not be- 1lieve that the attempt of the on Pacific 1o abrogate and annul their agreements with the Rock Island and Milwaukee companies ‘would have any bearing on the delivery o the viaduct bonds, as the contract with the clty is that the Unfon Pacific shall allow the othier roads to enter the union depot, and the regulations bearing on the use of the bridge and its approaches are with reference to tho uzeof the union depot, which will not be completed for another y City Attorney l’ulxpll-lnn was of the opinien as to ‘the irrelevancy of the recent action of the Union Pacific a3 far as wrning over the bonds was concerned. He said that the union depot company had no claim on the bonds at the present time, but th were to be delivered to Kountze brothers as trustees, and this delivery was not to take place until the depot company had turned over their bonds of $200,000 to the city insuring the completion of the plans as spécified, and the bond of the Union Pacific to allow all roads equal rights over the bridge after the com- pletion of the depot had also been filed. An examination of the depot grounds and the work on the new structure must bo made to determine whether or not the work already done amounts to $160,000, which the contract specifios must be the' case beforo the bonds are turned over to the trus The bonds over which so much anxiety felt are now in the hands of the state auditor at Lincoln, where they were taken for the purpose of being recorded about ten days ago. City Comptroller Goodrich wok the bonds to Lincoln for that purpose, but the auditor was not to be found,and as the comptroller would not leave the bonds with- out securing the auditor's receipt for them, gr was compelled to bring them home with m, Shortly after his veturn he was waited upon by Mr. T, L. Kimball, third vice- president of the Unmion Pacifie, who stated that he was anxious to have the bonds re- corded and agyeed to take them to Lincoln for that purpose. He later sent his private secretary for them and they were delivered to him, the comptroller receiving thy secre- tary’s :olrl. n view of recent developments, this action on the part of the comptrolleris what is causing him to feel very uneasy. The bonds ‘were sent to Lincoln and de ed to the au: ditor by Mr. Kimball’s secretary. The ques- tion now causing agitation is “To whom will the auditor deliver the bonds when recorded —to the comptroller or to the man from whom ceived them (" Comptroller Goodrich has telegraphed the auditor to hold the ponds until he can get them, and under no circumstances to turn thom over to anyone else. He realizes that if the bonds et into the hands of tho railroad company through his mistake it places him in & very unpleasant situatic Officials at Union Pacific headquarters teiophoned the city comptroller yesterday to ascertain the assesscd valuation of the city and the amount of tl bonded in- debtedness. The desired information was gD The anxiety of the railrond company inRhe matter is utiributed to the fact that i the'eity’s bonded indebtedness would there by e: d the constitutional limit of 10 per cent of the assessed valuation the bonds can Regarding this phase of the question the mayor said that he had some doubts about the value of the bonds, as he was notsure that they would notincréuse the bonded Indebtedness” of the city beyond the limit. Whatever may be the action of the aunditor withreference to recording the bonds, the comptroller will not rest easy until they are again in his possessicn to be turned over by him to the mayor, which will relieve him of all responsibility The bistory of these bonds and the ordi- nances passed by the council bearing upon them, et directly or indirectly, are as fol- lows: On _August 16, 1889, an ordinance was vassed declaring the nccessity of construct- ing a vinduct on Tenth street over the Union Pacific and B, & M. trac nd ordering the Ccity engineer to make survoys and furnish Pplans and specifications. Another ordinance was passed October 30, 1880, ordering an election held for the pur- pose of voting upon the proposition to issue coupon bonds to the amount of $150,000. On the 25th of the following month the election was held and the bonds were voted. At a council mecting held January 22, 150 the plans and specifications of the city engi- neer were approved aud the mayor was in- structed to appoint three freeholders to ap- prase the damages to condemned property. On March 20, 1800, the last ordinaunce was ruod, requiring the railroad compunies to uild a viaduct the length of which was not 10 exceed 800 feet, and work to be commenced ‘within thirty day: The viaduct is now practically completed, and next in order will be an ordinance ac- cepting the structure. The superintendent f construction announced that the viaduct {l()ulfl'b‘n}‘flum,l to the public on Wednesday or Thursday of this week, but whether ro- cent complications will tend to delay this ‘event is a matter of conjecture. Phe action of the Union Pacific in refusing to carry out its contract obligations, is tho talk of the town. The Rock Island's new lines through south- ern Nebraska and Northern Kansas are almost parallel with the Missour1 Pacitie, and the arrangemnts agreed upon would take the Rock Island direct to Colorado Springs,wh the Missouri Pacific reacnes Pueblo, ouly forty miles bolow there. To Gould's objec- tion to huving the territory of the Missouri Pacific_encroached upon is therefors at- tributed the attempt of the Union Pacific, under its Gould management, to head off the new line of the Rock lsland at the Missouri river, 1If this done, the opinion is that the new line of the Rock Island just completed be- tween this city and Liucoln will become ractically worthless for at leasta year, un- il the union denot is completed and occupied. Under the terms of the agreement between the Rock Isiand and the old Union Pacific management, tho - former | conpany was to use the latter's trac to South Omaha and Detween Lincoln and Beatrice as weil as a short tretch into Denver, while the Union Pacitic 'was to have the uee of the Rock Island's new line from South Omaha to Lincoln. The abrogation of these agreements virtually leaves the Rock Island in the same condition It was bofore, with n;‘n addition of over fifty miles of 1solated track. In thoe event that the Rock Island resorts to the courts to compel the Union Pacific to fulfill its contract s logal coutest of perhaps two years duration would result. A re- sonroe to spanuing the Missouri with another bridge would place the Rock Island under the necessity of closing the gap between the end of the bridge and South Omaha and between Lincoln und Beatrice, all of which Would prove expensive and consume much amo The course of the Union Pacific, it is held, shuts off the promised fast trains and better service botween Omaha and Lincoln, lunited tralos 0 Denver aund the mountai and keeps anothier castern road out of Omabn. Tho Rock Island is prevented from openiug ~ its direct line from Chicago to Denver, and must continue to travel its roundabout route, which incroases the distance fully one hun dred miles, Auditor Benton Talks Out. Lixcons, Neb, Doc. 30.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bre.| State Auditor Benton ays that the depot and viaduct bonds were sent to the state auditor’s oMco for registra- tion two weeks ago. Toduy thoy will be istered ana tomorrow Auditor Bonton will go to Omaba and, accompanied by Mayor Cush- ing and other officials, will deliver the bonds to Thomas L. Kimball, third vice president of the Union Pacific. Auditor Benton declares that there is no poweron earth that can deter the delivery of the bonds; thatthe stipulation between “the city and the Union Pacifi refers only to the use of the union depot, and does not in_any way affect the use of tho bridge over the Missouri, The suggestions made in Tnr Ber this morning, he says, cannot cut any figure now. It is too late. Mr. Benton says he met Mr. Nash of the Milwaukee ro ssterday, in Omaha, in ro- ard to the shutting out of the road repre- sented by him. *“I'ho_gentlemon representing the roads shut out tried to get me 10 protect their in- terests,”’ says Mr. Benton, “by saddling overything on tome, They aro very smooth gentlemen, but I amon to their methods as I have known them for some time.

Clark Begins His Work of Lopping OfF Heads. The first step toward the centralization of authority in the Union Pacific management was made yesterday in the appolntment by General Manager Clarkof E. L. Lomax 18 general passenger and ticket agent of the entiro Union Pacific system, Mr. Lomax has had the titie of general pas- senger agent for a number of years, but, nder the Adams administration, reatly had jurisdiction only over the Missouri river di- vision of the road, each of the other grand di- visions of the sy veing supplied with a separate general passenger agent. The extension of Mr. Lomax's authority does away with the position and title of geri- eral passenger ugent of the various divisions of the systems. The men who have held the the positions affected are: T. W, Lee, gen- eral passenger agent Paciflo di- vision, " Portlnd; Georgg Ady, gen- eral ' passonger agent Color and Fort Worth divisions, Denver; F. L. Lynd, general passenger agent of St. Joe & Grand Island division, & Joseph, with division and assistant general agents at Ogden, Salt Lake, Fort Worth, Kansas City, Pocatello and other division points. It is uot announced as to what other changes will follow Mr. Lomax's promotion but it will result in the first instance in very materfally reducing the number of titled and high-salaried officials in the passenger de- partment. Some of the present general pas- Joncer agenta Wil probably bo retained & division passenger men. TAE FREEZE OUT. Railrond Magnates Coming to Omaha to Talk About It. General Agent Nash of the Milwaukee road made no effort yesterday morning to cross from theBluffs with his train, feeling satisfled that he had alreadysufficiently emphasized his position as regards tho filegality of tho freeze- out by the Union Pacifle. PresidentCable of the Rock Tsland road was expected in the city yesterday to take to enable his company to make some use of the road which it has built from this city westward, It is understood that his company and the Milwaukee have engaged Messrs. Poppleton and Woolworth of this city to contest in the courts the abrogating of the contract regarding the crossing of those roads into this mly. A well known railroad man said yesterday: “You may not hove heard of it, but it is a fact nevertheless, that last summer the Mil- waukeo aud Rock Island entered into an agreement with the Nebraska Central for the use of the bridea of the latter and its terminal facilities in this city They also contracted with the Missouri Pu- cifle for the use of its line to South Omaha, That contract was signed by S. H. H. Clark, and was forwarded to Jay Gould. But he re- fused to sign it. The wizard saw what he wanted six months in advance. This proves conclusively that Gould has u finger in this contract breaking.’* “The Rock Island allows the Union Pacifio tho vight of its track to Lincoln; why should the Union Pacific oppose the'entry of the Rock Island " “Jay Gould does not want any other road to enter the territory of the Missouri Pacific as the Union Pacific would do by means of the Rock Island extention.” *But Gould has control of the Union Pa- cific as well as the Missourl Pacific, and the advaucement of the interest of the Union Pa- cific would innure to his benefit. Why would he restrain it from entering Missouri Pucific territory " “B e, I think his interest in the Mis- souri Pacific is greater than that in the Union Pacifie.” Omaha's Great Carnival.

Milwankse Officials Take Their Case Against the Urion Pacific Tnto Court THE CASE SET FOR HEARING ON JAN. 2. Ernest Stuht Granted an Order Tem- porarily Restraining the De- livery of the Depot and Viaduct Bonds. Jeneral Solicitor Fish of the Milwaukee road arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, and, as a result, at 8 o'clock last night in- junction procecdings were commenced against the Union Pacific company. The petition filed in the office of the clerk of the district court sets forth the fact that on April 90, 1800, at the requost of the officials of the Union Pacific road, the Milwaukee entered into a 999 year contract, on which 83,750 was to be pald annually for the privilege of using the Union Pacific track between Council Bluffs and Omaha, and for the privilege of running futo and using the new Tenth street depot. As'is well known, on Decemver 27, the Union Paciflc locked 1ts switches and pre- veuted the Milwaukee from carrying out its part of thecontract. Upon making this show- ing Judge Doane last night granted a tem po- injunction, and set the hearing for Janu- 2at 100 ck . m. Inthe meantime the on Pacific people are enjolned from inter- 1g with the running of Milwankee trains, eral agent Nash, n speaking upon tho oot 18 i We tried to eet but were blocked along , trouble, at every turn. \e consideroed tho matter beforo wo applied for the injunction, and fully understood what we were going into. To-day we shall run our Chicago trains into tho depot, and shall con- tinue to do so until ordered by the court to ontinue them.” Superintendent Goodnow, who from Chicago last night, said: +All the Milwaukee wants in the matter is fairuess. We made our agreement in good faith, and then bought_ $100,000 worth of Omaha and South Omaha property, which we would be prevented from us purposo should tho Union Pacilo the poticy tbat it has adopted.” arvived THE VIADUCT BONDS. Ernest Stuht Secures an Order Pre- venting Their Delivery. It now looks as thoughsomeof the citi- zens were about to take a hand in the railroad fight. Late last night Ernest Stuht commenced suit against the city of Omaha, Richard C. Cushing as mayor,Charles Goodrich as comp- trotler, Thomas H. Benton as auditor of pub- lic accounts of the state, Alvin Saunders trustee, the Union depot company and Thomas L. Kimball, president of the Union de pot company. The petition sets forth all of the facts con- nected with the voting and issuing of the £150,000 of bonds to aid in the construction of the union passenger depot. It also sets forth the fact of the aeeding of certain property to Alvin Saunders, trustee, the cousideration for all of this being that the Union Depot company would construct a passenger depot at a cost of $400,000. The petitioner further alleges that the depot was to be open to all roads alike, upon their paying a certain rental to be agreed upon; that by collusion between the depot company and the Union Pacific road an attempt has been made to freeze out the Mil- waukee people and prevent, them from ran- ning their trains into this city. The plaintiff further alleges that the depot i in no wise similar to that represented by the sketch presented to the city coun- ¢l _and to the people before the bonds were voted, being much_ smaller, and cheaper; that up to this Uate the vouchers show thut onmly about 30,000 has been expended upon the structure, though it is well under way and up to a point where it would have required the ex- nditure of at least $150,000 had it been uilt uccording to the sketch submitted. Mr. Stuht gives as his reason for commenc- ing suit against all of these defendants that at the present time he does not. know where the bonds are, but if they are in the hands of Mayor Cushing or Comptroller Goodrich ho wants to prevent them from de- livering them to Auditor Benton and if they are in the hands of Benton he wants to prevent him from turn- ing them over to Mr. Kimball, president of the depot company, and if n ' the hauds of Kimball, to prevent him from disposing of them. This showing was made before Judgo Doane last night, an mjunction granted and the case set for hearing January 5, at 10:30 a. m. This same injunction prohibits the dis- posal of any of the real estate now held by Alvian Saunders as trustee. Mr. Nash Replics to Auditor Benton General Passenger Azent Nash of the Mil waukeo road takes exception to the statement in last night's Bee, purporting to come from State Auditor Benton. Ho says that he never attempted to influence Mr. Benton in any way regarding tho depot and viaduct bonds, and that all such statoments are misrepresentations of the facts. Mr. Nash says that he told Mr. Benton that the Milwaunkee road was not interested in the matter and had no quarrel with the Union Pacific or the depot company. Said Mr. Nash lust night: “Under no eircum- stances would we attempt to_do anytiing to invalidate the bonds,and I canot under- staud why Mr. Benton made his statement.” e Bad drainage causes much sickness, and bad blood and improper action of the liver and kidneys is bad dranage tothe human sfismm, which Burdock Blood Bitters rem- edy. Washington and Oregon. This new empire of the northwest is attracting universal attention and the reason for this is the almost unlimited resources that have recently been opened and the surprising growth of this region. Large agricultural areas; vast forests and immense deposits of precious metals are to be found in Oregon and Washing- ton, and by reason of the varied natural resources of the country this section offers unequaled opportunities for the investment of capital and location of in- dustries that are not surpassed by the older sections of the United States, The Union Pacific on account of its fast time, through Pullman sleepers and din- ing cars, free reclining chair cars and free colonigp sleepers from the Missouri river, is conceded to be the favorite route for persons going to either Wash- ington or Oregon.

Depends on the question up. The lamp-chimney ques- tion—what sort do you break ? Whatever sort your dealer deals in. How, do you think, he selects his chimneys? He buys those that cost him least; he can get the regular price for them; and the faster they break the more he sells. That's how he reasons. -~ Tell him you want Mac- beth's ““pearl top’’ or * pearl glass,” tough glass, transpar- ent, clear, not foggy, fine, of right shape and uaiform, Tell him you'll pay him a uickel more a piece, and that will cover his extra costs twice over, Tell him ycu don't pro- pose to breakany more, Try your hand at ruling.
