0N THE BRIDGE AT MIDNIGHT, The Toion Pacific Embargo Raised by a Milwaukeo Freight Train. PASSENGERS NOW CROSSING THE RIVER. Welcoming the First Throngh Train— Rock tsland Plans—Union Depot Matters ~Justice Brewer's Decree in Full, Atlast. A new ora in wostern railroad af- fairs dawned yesterday morningwhen the first solid passengor train left the union depot by way of the Milwaukee line for; Chicago and the east, The long drawn out controversy over the right to use tho Union Pacific bridge was ended, and a happy feeling pervaded the cir- cles of railroad officials from heads of de- partments down to yardmastors, The sword of Damocles which had hung suspended over tho heads of thres great rail- way systems, had, by virtun of a de entered by Justice Brewer, been sheathed, and the bloodless battle was terminated by the circuit court ordering tho acfendant com- pany to proceed to comply with the contract entered into by the Rock Islund and tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul on the one hand and the Union Pacific on the other. The Milwaukee having been granted tho exclusive right to use track , on the north side of the depot, midnight freight trains commenced crossing the bridgo as 1f it had been the commonest occur f the world 3 At 0:3) yesterday morning passenger train No. 1, east bound, lett the depoton this side of the river and pulied in_on the Milwaukeo tracks at the transfer, Council Bluffs, with- out even so much as cven a ripple of excite- ment. Victors and vanquished were seem- ingly satisfied that tho only ~thing to be done wiis to obey the mandate of the court, and per consequence they went about it in the most methodical manner consistent with the whortuess of the time in which to arrange temporary rules for the running of the trains. At Main streot station, Council Bluffs, tr No. 2, which left Chicago Wednesday eve at 6 o'clock, experienced a slight délay w ing upon the rightof way, which came th minutes after the regular'scheduled time of leaving. The run across the bridge was without ineident, although several veprosen- tatives of the road adjourned to the dining car where the new departure was appro- priately celebrated. Superintendent C. A. Goodnough was there in a light suit, his 180 pounds of avoirdupois shaking with suppressed merriment whenever the question of bridge right was mentioned, and the twinklo in his mild blue eye showed how much he fated the removal of the emburio vlac his line for nearly u year. Assistant intendent Bunker, \\‘l‘ll\ headquarters at Marion, In., gave bis chief earnest support, although he'did less talking than the head of tho operating department. City Ticket Agent James K, Preston in the glory of o s! blondo beard and a hopeful head of hauir was the proudest man on board. He was in his clement, not like Swinburne’s maiden, but jubilant over the fact that he could Iand passengers in Omaha without Dbreaking up the train on the Towa side, Yurdmuster Lon Kondall flitted tween tho locomotive and the rear, alert, cautious, ready for any emer- gency which might avise. = 1. D. Himphrey as conductor and Jack A. Hearno n the cab completed the personnel of the fivst train over the Milwaukee road run solid into Omaha. In_addition to these ocials. W. Kinnan, in charge of the dining enr, aided materially inproperly celebrating the event, whiloJ. M. Lane, local agent of the Milwau- kee at Council Bluffs, enjoyed tho beautiful hills which lie to the westward of Omaha from a scat in one of tho front coaches. Without the least stir the train pulled into the stution, the busy scenes around the place mude still busier by the passengers from the Milwaukee, neral Freight Azent Union Pucific stood on the broad platform when the train came in, He was the only representative of the defendant systom to the contract in sight, A smile to Mr. Good- nough was the only indication that he appro- cuated the turn things had taken, reo, in be- Munroe of the THE ROCK ISLAND READY. Running Its 1to Omaha. Arrangements Through Trains Tho Rozic Island put in its connections Wednesday uight with the Union Pacific tracks at South Omaha and Beatrico and the local accommodation train ran through yoster- day morning from Nelson, a poiut boyond Lincoln, to Council Bluffs, For the prosent a combination freight and assenger train will be run each way daily Fotweon tho Blufts and Nolson, Atime table tor tnrough trains is being prepared s rapialy as possible and will bo put in effect about August 18, at which time the through passenger trains be- tween Chicago and Denver will be run through Omaba. The Omaha routo is short- er than the one via St. Joseph at present used by the Rock Island and the run between Chicago and Denver will be shortened t three hours by the change. Through fr trains will be pat on about the 16th prox. Until this time card is put effcct tho passenger trains from tho Towa division will bo run solid imto Omaha, commoncing today, with the tran which avrives in Omaba at' 6:35 p.m. The train which left Omaha at 4:30 was made up ou this side, and ru solid across the bridgo. This train included the private carof Presi- deut Cable, in which were the prosident and Judgo Withrow, who returned to Chicago. A conference was held Wednesday night between Thomas L. Kimball, presiderit of the Union dopot compauy ; President Cable of tho RockIsland, and Mr, (ioodnough of the Mil- waukeo. At this conference it was ugreed that the Rock Island and Milwaukee should be atlowed to use the present depot tipou payment 10 the depot company of # pro rata propor- tion of the intercst on the property used as a temporary uepot and yards, and a proportion of the cost of maintenance and oporation, based on wheelage, in accord with the agreement made between these companies, aud the dopot company last year. When the so-called union dopot is com- ploted, if it over reaches that point, another agroemont will bo made botween the parties for the use of the structurc. in ™ UNION DEPOT, Time Now for Stralghtening Out that Mu idle. Since the decision of the courts in the bridge controversy the interest in the union depot case has rovived and a well-known citi- zon suggested that it was time for the board of trade committee to wake up if it proposed doing anything i the matter. *I'be board of trade appoiated a committes about two mouths ago,” sald he, %0 look into the depot situation and report whother anything could be doue to hasten tha settlement of the caso The committes started out with u great tlourish of trumpots, but went to sleep be- foro twenty-four hours had elapsed and noth- ing has been heard from it since. Now is the time for the committeo to do sometuing, if it hus any lifo loft, and accomplish the purpose for which it wus appointea,” An ofticial of the Unfon puny stated yesterday that the failure on the “part of the city to deliver the bonds to the depot company within the time specified had acted as a re- leaso of the depot company from all obliga tions in the premises and there was now no obligation on the part of that company to comply with the wishes of the eity in regard to u building or to build & union depot unless it chose to do so. i Moreover, the failure of the aity to give tho Union Pacific a quit cluim decd to the property on which the dopot building stands, prevonts that company from transforring the proporty to the uuion depot company, consequently the Hurlington company will refuse to put any more money into a building on ground to which the depot company has o logal title, Mr. John D. Howe stated, in reply to a question, that the injuction case in the state court would probably come up for fiual hear fog at the Septew ber term. 10 was asked If tho decision in the bridge case would have suy moral effect on the in- function case, which be replied depot com- | headws that he was amenable to advice from men who were stralghtforward, honest citizens, consistent 1n their advocacy of the cause of the community, but he should not be swerved by tho talk of men who were sub- servient to railroad bosses and who traveled over the country on passes, all of which is taken to mean that Mr, Howe might be per- suaded to withdraw his injunction if con- vinced that the best interests of the com- munity demanded it.

The Telephone People Don't Know How High to Build, PLANS FOR COMMODIOUS HEADQUARTERS, Combined on Crackers—Major Furay's Successor Selected — City Hall Work—Cole's Crazy Freak— Deserted Her Baby. Hon. C. E. Yost, president of the Nebraska telephone company, is in the east where he went for the purpose of submitting the plans for the new telephono building to the stockholders of the corporation. The plans were prepared by Omaha archi- tects and they will not be passed upon be- fore Mr. Yost's return home, It is not yet kuown whether the new structura is to be three or five-story building, but the probabili that it will be threo ories high and devoted exclusively to the use of the telephone com- pany. It will be G2xo2 feet in_size, and will be arranged to accommodate 10,000 subscrib- rs, although at presont there are not quito 100, 'he company also proposes to nut in an un- derground wire system all over the eity, and this will require more room in the telepnone building as the arrangements for counceting the wires as well as for protecting them against excessive currents will be much more claborate than for the overhead —system Tho lead pipo cables now bemng put up are intended to remain in place only until the new building is completed and —tho conduits for the underground system are built It is claimed that when the wires are lnid underground they are comparatively inde structible, whereas when strung overhead the lifo of 'a wire varies from ono tosix years, In the vicinity of the smeiting works and of the ralroad yards where much switehing is done the wires have to bo replaced overy yoar, and uptown whero these unusual cor- roding influences are not experienced, tho weatner rusts out the wires in from four to six years. The grading of Douglas street is what the company has been waiting for. before begin- ning the work of ex ation on their lot at the corner of ightoenth strect, A new multiple switchboard 15 being placed in the telephone in the Ramge block that will permit of haudling subscribers to the number of 2,000, A CRACKER COMBINATION. The New York and American Com- panies Udite Their Interests, The Omaha factory of the New York buiscuit company has passed into the hands of the National cracker company, a new con- cern which has also purchased the factories of the New York company at Des Moiues, Cedar Rupids and Denver. It is claimed that this move is the result of a combination that is to end the ruinous rate war that_has been waged for the past vear b, Ycrk and American buiscuit com is likewise asserted, that with the close of the war will come a radical advance in prices along tho cracker line. Mr. W. J. Cartan, the local manager, will remain here for about sixty days settling up the business of the Now York company, and will then wo to New York, where he will con- tinue his counection with that company. Mr. Cartan denied vesterday - that any combination had been formed, but admitted that the cracker war would probably cease for the present. Ho also denicd that there had been any advance in prices, but,of course, was not prepared o say that such an advance would mnot soon be made. Ho said that the tour western factories of the New York company above named had been sold to the National company, and that now there would be four big c tho New York, American, National aud United States. He said there wis o truth in the report that an agreement had been entered into whereby the trade of the country was to ve dvided, tho american to have the trade west of the Mississippi and the New York to monopolize that of the east half of the continent. One thing, however, is announced as an as sured fact—the factory here will continue in operatiou. RUSHING THEZ WORK.

Fine Shooting Done Yesterday at the Belle Rifle Rang The first of the days of preliminary firing in the departmental rifle practice at Bellevue yesterday was characterized by a number of happy circumstances, There was almost a clougless sky and the wind streamers hung nearly motionless beside the poles. ‘The sun shone with more than usu tensity, but seemingly without effect upon the marksmen. Thoy assumed the various attitudes at tho several distances as if the firing were but recreation. ‘There was a larce number of visito tendance, somo having come from the g towns and ethers from this mujority of the lutter, bowever, drove to the range 1 private conveyarces, although not a few traveled by the B.'& M., ' taking the 9:30 train for Kansas City, ‘The public is welcome to these exhibitions of marksmanship on the part of Uncle Sam’s soldiers, The exhibition is an interesting one, aud affords eutertainment to those wio eck for information as well as those who i sire to spend a day in tho woods. In this latter respect, a wore beautiful place cannot be found in this section of the country, and of this fact one visit will convince the most sceptical. ‘I'he exercises are divided into morning and evening programmes, so that the visitor need spend ouly half a aay at the rauge if time should press upon him. An offort is being made to induce the B. & M. road to put on a train which will leave the range at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, reaching this city about 1:25p. m., e:pecially during the first four days of next weck, when tho competition proper will be in progress, but it has not yet been annonnced as to the "deciston which has been reached. 0 of the competition, Friday next, ualled by a zrand social gathering, e garrison band swill bein attendanco medals be uwarded to the victors by some distinguished military gentlemao. The programme yesterday included firing at 200 and 300 yvards in the morning, and 500 00 yards in the afternoon. ILhere wera fifty-soven competitors and each of theso fived ten shots at each of these distances, Previous to the firing, Major Benham, in charge of the competition addressed the marksmen, teiling them that he wished them if possivble to exceed the record made one year ago, which was greater thun ever made in thi department. He also stated that if any soldicr felt that any unduo means were taken by any competitor, he would consider it a” favor if he should be apprised of the fact. He wanted the competition to be a fair and square one, ana he would do all that he could to make it such for every person interested. If a com- petitor should see that he could mnot get upon the department team he did not wish that competitor to becomo discouraged, loso interest in the work, but rather continue for the sake of the department.

FORCED TO THE ALTAR BY A PISTOL. Mary McKinney Granted a Divorce From a Husband She Never A knowledged and Whose Name She Did Not Assume. Wasmivaroy, July 30.—~The strangest mar- riago a divoree court was ever called upon to dissolve has been annulled by o decroe of Justice Hagoer of the supremo court of the District of Columbia. Mary Stuart MeKin- L who was ‘‘wadded yot 1o wife,” was grauted a divorce from Charles 2. Reed, with permission to resume her maiden namo. Her ground of complaint was that sho had beon “married by force,” almost at the point of a pistol in fact, and that sho had never sus- tained the relation of wife to her would-vo husband. Mary MeKinney 1s about twenty-four yoars old. She can barely remember her fathor, who died when she was very young, and her mother has long an invalid; so for years Mary has had no ono to lean upon and 10 one to whom to appeal for aavice and as sistance. She was onc of the first clerks ap- pointed by Superintendent Porter to assist in tho census buroau. One of tho first ac- quaintances ske made in the census burcau was Charles Edwin Reed, a good-looking fellow, who was rogarded as an excellent clerk. The two young people worked by side for soveral months, and a close friendship grew up between them, Afte Superintendent Porter assigned them both to night work 1iteed was in the habit of es- corting Miss McKinney to her home in the carly morning hours, Reed was politely at- tontive, but never obtrusivo. As the day: wore by she noticed a slight change in him, but she is quite sure sho was totally unpre: pared to receive trom hi fove and offer of mavriage. It was the story. She rospected him and would be o sister to him, but she really could not love him, Reed did not grieve over his rejection. He told her very cooly, but with quiect emphasi that he wanted her to be his wife, not bis sister, and ended by declaring his firm con- viction that soouer or later she would change her mind and marry him. Ho was m 1o , he said, and could wait. Mary did not know what to make of Reed's conduct. She had expeeted to see him either angry or This cool, unmoved determination T, but she conten bidding him to call upon her, him as much as possible when engaged in hor aaily task. But was not to be shaken off so easily. H, epted hier at every opportunity, and e risked being handed over to the polico in order to have a few words with her. On her way to and from the bureau he would wait for her at quiet corners, and always with the urgent request that she reconsider her determina- tion.
