REPLY T0 LAWYER THURSTON. The Relations of Omabia to the Union Pasifio Railroad, A TENDZRFOOT GOVERNMENT DIRECTOR, A Protest Against Transferring th Deeds to pepot Grounds and Bonds Before the Road Raises the Embargo. Owuria, Jan. 2.—To the Editor of Tire Bee: You have given Mr. Thurston a_hearing n your columns. 1 think the other side of the uld be stated tion of the Union Pacific company in attempting, in violation of a written contract signed by its president, by authority of its board of directors, May 1, 1500, to exclude the Milwaukee road from its bridge and to prevent its trains and cars from running into Omata and delivering passengers and freight without transfer in Council Bluffs, is the most important rallway event which has oc- curred to Omaha since the decision of the so called terminus case. Presumably, this ¢ 't was approved, before exeoution, by the solicitors and coun sel of the Union Pacific company, including Judge Dillon, If it is an illegal contract (which scems to have been discovered by a government director since Mr. Gould has recovered possession of the road), the law _provides aplain way by which it may be set aside, To set aside contracts s the province of the courts, In this caso the Union Pacific has taken that question into its own hands, de- claring the contract void, and by force aud in violation of an injunction issued by the state court, has torn up its tracks and locked its switches, practically (to enforce the policy pursued under Sidney Dillon for twenty-five years) to forco the Union Pacific business onto tho Towa side of the river. This lawless vroceeding is resorted to to prevent precisely what the company, through its Union depot organization, and its guaran tees and those of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad have contracted with the eople of Omaha to allow, the consideratior For Sehich is the $150,0000f _bonds. voted 1o ald of thonew station. Omaha cared littlo for the new station, as such, The chief con sideration of the issue and delivery of lose bonds was the agreemen’ of the Uniort Pa. not only to allow all the Towa roads to cross the bridgo with their own trains and cars and motive power, but to proeure the oc. cupancy by these road ible, of the union depot now in course of constructic The contract with Omaha, when the bonds shall have been delivezed to Kountzo Broth ers and the deeds delivered, will have been consummated on its part. O the part of the Union Paciflo company, or the Union depot company, which, practically, may be re garded a5 the same, the contract to allow the fowa rouds to cross to Omaha is still In the future—yet to bo performed Judgitig by the action of th- " »lon Pacific fn respoct of the Milwaukee, wuab prospect have the people of Omaha of ‘ever seeig the Towa roads cross if the Union Pacific pr oses to bo its own judge of the legulity of the contracts it enters into? It seems 0dd that o government director, who was in office when the contract with tho Milwaukee was entered into, as late as December 2ith (only o day of two bo- fore the passenger traius of tho Milwukeo were Fefused access to the bridge) should have been vrite an elaborate letter 1o the president of the Uuion Pacific ques- tloningz the logality of this contract. In all probability, that lotter was drawn Ly the Jnion Pacific people and the subservient overnment, divector signed it at dictation n fact and in truth it is a_mere pretense on which to base action; a device to sugar-coat the utter lack of good faith in the trans- actior The people of Omaha and Lincoln are vitally interested in the new Rock Island line, ‘which, for its transit from Council Blufts to Omaha and South Omaha and thenceforward over its owa track to Lincoln, rolies upon a contract simllar to that with the Milwaukee. The effect of this trans- action is to destroy the Rock Island line from O to Lincoln. Instead of going futo effect January 1 it waits the tedious « tormination of the legal question in the fed- eral courts, unless the injunction shall vrove ive Of what value are the protestations of Judge Dillon, #s sot forth by Judge Thurs ton, to the effect that the Union Pacific will keep 115 contract with Omaha. It cannot Xoep it if its position in respect to the Mil- wanice is correct. Neither is Judge Dillon the man who dictates whether contracts shall bo kept or broken, since Mr. Gould has ro sumed his interest in the Union Pacific When did Judge Dillon disc the ille- ality of this contract! How did he advise §ir. Adums whon Mr, Adams appended bis signature! ‘The lesson of this business is that no con- tract is to bo kept with anybody when it in- terferes with the wnterest of the Union Pa- aifie, and the quicker the peoplo of Omaha wako up to that fact the berter it wiil be fpr them. The people are blandly told that Mr. Bond, acting on bebaif of the Union Pacific, i ly to mako another contract, What is the use.of making conteacts if their legality is to be decided in the manner applied to tho present Milwaukee contract! Better ten years of litigation in the courts to settle the que.iion whether contracts of this character may be wantonly and recklessly cast asido when their ot reaches communitics like Omaha ncoln and the whole of the state of g Contracts veen tho Rock Istand and tho Union Pacific for running privileges to the Rock Island aro said to have existed for sey. ars, covering Union Pacific track be- n Kansas City and Topeka and betw een man and Denver,and also local roads in Kansas, and the Union Pacitic is said at tho present’ time, under such contracts, to be running over rock Island track in Kaus The Milwaukee contract in terms is not o coutract for running privileges, but simply a o contract for crossing the bridge with its own motive power and trains, depositing its business in Omaha and South Omaha on tracks of its own, tobe thence switched Unfon Pacific engines to the different wa houses and houses of business. Under the terms of the Milwaukee contract the Union Paciic is paid for handling ull the cars of the Milwaukee and transacting ail its terminal business, and it pays the full value of the use of the Union Pacific tracks and bridgo for the purpose of depositing its freight and senger business on the west sido of th souri river, and thus avouding the in fence, aunoyance aud loss of the lowa trans- for. The principal to be decided in_ the Milwau- keo caso will practically determine tho power of the Union Pacific company to keep up and maintain the toll gato of the last twenty years at the cast end of the Union Pacific bridge. Fortunately, the mattor has at lust reached the courts, which must de. termine it To proceed any farther 1 the conveyance and delivery of property to the union depot company or any other organization under the control of the Union Pacific company, upon the contrict of guarantee of that company that this tll gate is to bo _taken down, in the light of recent events, is the last extreme of foily. TAXPAYER. WAS ADAMS' CONTRAOT LAGAL? Why the Union Pacific Freezes Out the Eastern Roa 1s, When the injunction case of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul vs the Union Pacifio, to restrain the defendant from interforing with the ruuning of plaiutif's trains over the Union PPacifio bridge, was called for a hear- ing in Judge Doane's court yesterday the petition for removal to the federal court fited on Wednesday by the defendant came up for consideration, ‘The petition stated that the amount in con- | troversy was over &40, and that the plain- if's alleged cause u( action restod in a cer- tain contract executed and signed by Charles Francls Adaws as president of the defendant corporation. T'ho petition alleged that sald Adams had no right, power or authority to sign any such contract, as it was doue without the con- sent of the stockbolders of the cowpany, whercas, under the acts of congress rolating %0 the operation of the rond, this contract should have been submitted to the stockholders, either at ageneral or specis meet n furthor alleged that the e tract in controversy was illegal, and the fore null and void, inasmuch as it conveyed to the plaintiff aroad not organized by an act of congress, many of the rights and priv- i 'S solely vested by congress in the de- fendant, and which the defendant bad no right or power to convey, deed or sign away as a federal corporation, except with the con sent of congress, The petition further alloged that the de cision of the case depended solely on the proper_interpretation and meaning given to the certain acts of congress lating to the construction and maintenauce of the Union Pacific railway On this showing Judge Doane ordered the case sent to tho federal court, and the clerk I sded to muke out the transcripts The Case in the United States Court. The injunction case of the Milwaukes road against the Union Pacific came up in the United States court yesterday afternoon, whither it had been taken by the latter com- puny Judge Thurston, for the Union Pacific, nsked the court to set aside the restraining order of the state court and hear the case on its merits the same, as an application for an injunction would be heard. He claimed that the Union Pacific had no right to allow another company to use its tracks aud bridge and collect its own toll The Union Pacific, he said, was ready and willing to haudle all trains of the Milwaukee with the former's engines. Mr, 1% for the Milwaukes, argued that the question involved the construction of u contract which the Union Pacific had taken upon itaelf to decluro void. Thia contract, he said, had evidently been considered pood at one'time, asit scemed to bo signed by body Juldge Dundy stated thac he did not feel like setting nside the restraining order of the state court until he had heard a. ents on both sides. He refused to set the order Aside, and set the case for hearing on Mon- day at 10 a, m. Omahaas a Way-Station. king on tho freeze-out, a well known citizen said yestorday “1.don’t, believe the people of Omaha fully understand Mr., Gould's action fn bre the arrangement between tho Union and the Milwaukee and Rock Island roads to use the terminals at Omaha. “In the first place, ex-President Adams had no right under the Union Pacific charter to make a contract binding that road for 999 years at a nominal or any other sum. The offect would be to make Omaha nothing but a way station on a thr line between Chi cagoand Denver. In thav case, Chicago and Denver would getall the plums and Omaha nothiog but the husks. In - short, all the dis bursements, transfers and labor would bo lo- cated in Chicago and Denver and only fow train crows at Omaha. Tne main line through Nebraska is naturally an Omaha road, and the terminus should not beun wrenched from Omaha and transferred to Chicago and Denver. The “skinning pro cess" will bo too severe, and Omaha joobers will have no show against Chicugo under such a jug-handled arrangements. The peo: ple of Omal to_build up a great city. To do so they termi nal facilitics to the railroads. AS I said, this means_disbursements among our business men, increased population and_steady em ployment to our worky The 904 year contract with the Milwaukee and Rock Island roads will knock this out, and I for ono can_scarcely believe the people of Omaha will regard such a thing with com- piacency. 1f the Milwaukee and Rock Island 1t to come into Omaha, well and good, but let them make Omaha a terminus. They can acquire facilities, erect bridges, and help in every way to build up the city by the em- ployment of our workingmen to” create such facilities in Omaha and Council Bluffs. Omaha has no right tositup laboring for the benefit of Chicago and Denver, to the de- struction of her own vital energies. This is where some of aha people mixed up. The contr anged between Omaha and the Union depot. company and the Union Pacific have nothing to do with the contracts with the Milwaukee and Rock Island, against which Mr. Gould is fighting. They are en- i and distinct. Judge Thurston explained this yesterday in his interview with ‘Tni Bre. He showed that the Milwaukee road rejected the proposition to simply run into _the union depot, and in this way make western termmus. The Milwauke flor lurger game (with Omaha asa way station under the ¥ year contract on the route to some western point to be determined in fu- turd.) Our pavers and citizens are making avrcat mistake in confoundiog the two. “If tho city keeps the agreoment—delivers the $150,000 bonds in good faith, the Union depot company and the Union Pacific and Burling- ton are bound in £00,000 to finish tne depot for use in one year, and then to admit all rouds over the bridge aud to the depotat fair rates, with the alteroative ot arbitration if the can't agree. Anybody can seo this jneans that Omaba is to be the western terminus of these lowa roads under such >ment. “If the city violates the arrangement 1t ro- leases the dépot company and the Union Pa- afic and Burlington wholly from their obli- gations, The 1mprovements could be cut down several hundred thousand dollars, the time of completion extended at will and other roads shut out of the depot or bridge at dis- cretion. Any intelligent citizens can_see Omaha hias the best of the bargain by a long And 1t is a puzzle to determine the wninn-mn»mpxun break the trade. 1f anyone wants to see Omaha nothing but a y station under the % year contract in- stead of a great metropolis” under the unton depot, contract, he 15 taking a good way to ac complish it Omaha ought to stand by Mr, e “I think,” observed Joseph Barker, *‘that weought to have both the Milwaukee and Rock Island road run into Omaha, and I hon the Union Pacific and B.-& M. will not break their contracts, but that they will allow these roads to come iuto this city across their line as they agreed. If they dodecide 1o oppose them and o back on their contracts this city can no longerstand quietly by. It must use every means and spend any amount of money to have an independent _bri For one 1 am ready to bond this city and county fora half million of dollars and more if necéssary, and give them Jeffersou square for a depot site.”! John A, Creighton said there was no doubt whatever about the good results of tne run- 1ing of these two roads into Omaha and that they would come was equally certain. He further said that the hostiio corporations would soon _get together and settle their dif- forence, and he couldn’t seo much grounds for any very general worry over the matter. Milton Rogers was of the opinion that the question of a magnificent benefit to Omaha sultant upou the coming of these roads ad mitted of no argument. There was no use of entering into a detailed statoment of the in- terests that would be enhanced and that bould have them, if not by the ac- quiescence of the Union Pacific, via an inde pendent bridge. s Action. Mr. Ernest Stuht, who enjoined all thefe officers and the state auditor from transfer- ring the Tenth street viaduct bonds to the Union Pacific people, stated yesterday that he did so because of his remembrances of the treatment of the city in o sim- tlar case some twenty years ago. Then the city voted $200,000 bonds, and the cc pany after receiving them went back on its agreement. A velic of this botrayal of con- fidence, he claimed, could be found in the wunused foundation of & proposed headquarters which stands and has stood for t ¥y at the corner of Mason and T stree Whon the people of the neighborhood hear of the new bond question they came to him, and ho promised thatso far as be could de tho pledgos mado 10 them by tho Union' 14 cific would bo respected this time, even if ho had to bring action himself.

City Comptroller Goodrich, with a deputy, went t Lincoln yesterday and received from Auditor Benton the $130,000 Tenth strect viaduct bonds which it was thought at > time would be transferred to the Unlon Pacitic people, ——— Attention, U.

I'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE, UNIONPACIFIC RETRENCHMENT | It is Abomt to Make its Appearance all Along the Line, U.P. AND B. & M. DIVORCED AT LINCOLN. TRumors Regarding the Coming and Going of Union Pacific Officials ~The Burlington and Dead wood. Consternation was created among the army of clerks in the Union Pacific headquarters yesterday morning by the circulation of a report that thers is very soon to bo o radical reduction of salaries of clerical forces all along the line. The first step toward carrying out this order hns already been taken. Allof tho astorn agents of the Union Pacific, and there isalarge number of them, have had their salariss reduced, some of them very radically. This was noticeably true in the case _of the company's weneral agent at New York, who had his salary reduced 5 per cent. The order has been practically issued for a reduction 1 wages of clerks and agents amounting to from 15 to 5 per cent. Whilo some of tho titled salary drawer arein a position perhaps to meet” such a tion as is proposed, it would be rough on headquarters forces, most of whom_ aro etting an average of more than $60 per Mr. Resseguie's Retirement. The report of the retirementof General Manager Resseguie of the Mountain division of the Union Pacificis neither denied nor af- firmed at headquarters, although it has been gencrally understood that the retirement of iencral Manager Meek of tho Colorado § Fort Worth division would bo followed by a dropping out of the old general managers at the various division points, “Billy’’ Bancroft, late general superintendent of the Rio Grande Western, is mentioned as Ressoguie’s succes- sor with the title probably of division super- intendent, Bancroft is considered a first-class railroad man. He left the Rio Grande because of a ailure to agree with President Moffatt. “Ho Lhave n big job," said a local ofticial “if s Rossogiiie’s place, as the moun b of the Union Pacific is the har section of road in the country to manage Dissolved Partnership. The Union Pacific has withdrawn from the lease by which it used the Burlington passen v depot in Lincoln and is now running its trains into the old sption house. No expls uation kas been given for the change. It was understood that the Union Pacirc and Rock Island were to join ina union depot ab tho capital but the recent abrogation of contracts for bridge and terminal accommodations has indefinitely postponed all plans for such a pooling of intercsts. -In the meantime tho Union Pacific will useits own local depot at Lincoln, which is a mere shed.

The Burlington has completed four tun- nels on its Black Hills extension, one of them 1,155 feot in length, and is now within twen- ty-four miles of Deadwood with plain grad - 1z and track work abead. 1t is expected to have the liue completed and opened by Feb- ruary 1.

Such Dr. Gapen's Board Seeks to Fur- nish the City. There was a meeting of the board of health yesterday morning at which were present: Mayor Cushing, Councilman Chaffee, Plumb- ing Inspector Dennis, Chief Seavey and City Physician Gapen. T'he services of Health Tnspoctors Holmes, Sherrar and Stout were dispensed with, This was done because the limit of time which it was possible to employ them had been reached. They had been appointed upon the recon mendation of the special council com mittee organized to confer with the board of health, and it was unde stood that_they should hold their positions until the close” of the year 1800 As_the lifo of the old council has' about ex pired, it wa considered advisable that the tenure of offic of its appointees should cxpire with it. There was no money left to pay them. The board decided tomake another attempt to secure the payment by the council of a bill for §10 v ty physician. This ontlay was required in_compiling the vital statistics of this city upon which the census report could be based. The bill was presented half o dozn times to the council and as many times disallowed, it is alleged owing to0 tho efforts of Mr. Wheeler. It is thought the bill will bo al- lowed The board adjourned to assemblo again at the call of the mayor. Dr. Gapen says that_the health of the city is in fair condition and that while diphtheria still obtains itis by no means so provalent as it wiis somo time ago, These are about twenty cases of the disease in the city and others are reported from time to time as are also occa- sional deaths, The only tealth officer now in the employ of thecity is Mr. Pettit, B The senior propriector of this paper has been subject to frequent colds for some years which were sure to lay him up if not doc- tored atonce, He finds that Chamberlain's cough remedy is reliable. 1t opens the secro- tions, s the lungs, and restores the system to a healtny condition.
