Tho cars will be gatherea by the B, & M. ®nd Union Pacific roads and hauled to Omaba. F'rom there they will be msde up 1nto two traius of thirty cars each and taken to Chi- ©ago over the Burlington route. From Chi 0420 to the seaboard the Pennsylvania road ‘will take one train and the New York Cen- tral the other. The transportation from the Anitial shipping point to the seaboard will be absolutely free, In this convection Governor Thaver re- weived several letters of interest. One of these was from Chauncey M. Depew. presi- dent cf the New York Central, in which he waid that he had presented the matter of free transportation to a meeting of the Trunk Line executive committee. George R. Blanchard, chairman of the Central Traflic ussociation wiil have full charge of all ar- rangements for shippiug, ete. : James McCrea, vice president of the Penn- sylvania line, writes: “We wiil take great lensure in forwarding, free of charge, from “hicago to New York thirty cars of corn ‘which the people of Nebraska are sendiog, the understanding being thatthe other thirty cars will go east via the New York Central.” George C. Smith, assistant general mana- ger of the Missouri Pacific, assurés Gover- nor Thayer that his company will cheerfully co-operate in the way of free transportation. Clay County's Generosity, Clay county hus mlready contiibuted oue «car load of corn for the Russian doaation and today a letter was received by Secretary of State Allen from L. J. Titus of Huarvard stating that the Russian farmersof Clay «county would “contribute another car load providing free transportation could be secured.

Might Have Been Serious, A Missour1 Paciflc switch engine and a Fromont, Elkhorn & Missourt Valley pas- senger train collided at the crossing of the two roads in this oity last night. Both en- giue and train were moving slowly or the accident might have been more serious. As it was, . J. McMahon, a traveling man, was cut and bruised about the left cheek. Ho ‘was standing near the door of the passenger coach ready to step off when the train pulled up at the platform. The collision threw him violently against the door. No other pas- ngers were injured but all were thoroughly shaken up. Lincoln’s Water Supply. A public meeting was held at the court house this evening to discuss the old prob- lem of the city’s water supply. It has be- ‘come a sottled conviction with many citizens that Lincoln needs a more extensive water works system. Opinion on tne question as to how the system should be extended dif- fers. Some favor anew plant. At the meet- {ug this evening Councilman Burns. chair- man of the water works committee, pre- sented his views ut length. He [avored the construction of a water plant. that would be sufficient to meet the requirements of the city for along time to come. He behieved that a start on the new system should be made this season, and he backed up his state- ments with an imposing array of facts and tigures. Getting Ready for the Fair, Secretary I'urnas of the State Board of Agriculture arrived in the city tonight and ‘will in the morning open an oftice in the Lin- coln hotel for the purpose of receiving entries for the =tate corn exhibit, which will be held in Grant Memorial hall, in this city, Tuesday- and Wednesday of next weeic.

Western Trafic Association AMuirs Did Not Sult Him at All, New York, Jan, 15.--Mr. Jay Gould was seen at the Windsor hotel and asked what truth there was in the report thau he had re- tired from the Western Traffic association. Mr. Gould replied tersely : “There isno truth init. You must not believe all you hear." Mr. C. P. Huntington of the Southern Pa cific railroad said, 1 reference to the story that Gould had tendered his resignation of a vlace in the Western Ttaffic association, that he was not present at the meeting when the question of cut rates came up, but he under- stood Mr. Gould was greatly irritated over what he deemed an injustice and nad served the usual ninety days uotive of withdrawal. Mr. Huntington said he did vot believe the association would be disbanded as hus been stated. He thought Mr. Gould was a man of great common sense and he was contident that the matter would be compromised. He was not aware that the Southern Pa- cific had done anything wrong in the way of cutting rates, An appeal, nowever, had been made to the board of presidents, and until they passed upon the matter he could not say what course the Southern Pacific would pursuo. Mr. Huntington admitted thav if the case was decided adversely to his com- pany the guilty party in his employ wouid have to go. A local paper says the Western Trafic.as- sociation will 1n all probability break up within the next six months. A" represonta- tive of one of the largest railroads in the association said after the meeting that in his opinion another meeting would never be heid. It is atated taat the meetings at Wiad- sor, supposed to be harmonious, were quite the reverse. On Monday, after some routine work had been done away with and several questions of appeal decided, Mr. Gould, who had so far been taking an inactive part in the proceedings remarked quietly that if some action was not taken in the cases ef three roads which had been guilty of rato cutting, the Misrourl Pacific would_be with- drawn from the associatio. The original of- fender in the charge of cutting was the South- eorn Pacific. The sugar rate was cut from $1.85 per 100 pounds to $1.65. The Atchison accepted this rate and passed the freight over its line. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy out the rate on wool and this made a foundatior of a searate charge. There was no response from any of the guilty ones nor from Presiding Officer Millér. Thereupon Mr. Gould rose, picked up his hat and walked out of the room. After Mr. Gould retired the subject of the arvaign- ment of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in one case, the Atcnison, Topeka & Santa Fo in another was iguored or passed over without action. It was said that they did not deny that they were guilty. Vice-PresidentS. H. H. Clarke remainea throughout Monday's ses- sion and watched the proceedings closely without comment. On Tuesday no action was taken on the rato cutting cases and yes- terday Vice-President Clarke served notice on the association that the Missouri Pacific railroad would withdraw in ninety Cays. After throwing his bomb he straightway withdrew. The other members, were start- led and so much taken back that after only a fow minutes talk a motion to adjourn was put and carried. A prominent western railroad mar who attended the meeting said to a reporter: “No, 1 don’t think we will ever meet again. As I'iake {t, Mr, Gould has been fair. ~ He simply demanded just treatment, but the trouble was this time that men involved in the rate cutting occupied too high places and the roads which they represent do not nropose to discliarge them. ““I'ne discharge of Vice-President Stubbs, of the Southern Pacific, and Thomas Miller, general freignt agent of the Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy, I understand, was de- maunded, Guilty ronds upparently aro not disposed to take their own medicine. Mr. Gould wanted them to live up to the agree- ment, the sume as he had done. “I'he outlook for the Western Traffic asso- ciation was promising, buv it now looks bad. M, Gould will have to take the subject of witharawal before tue board of directors of the Missouri Pacific, but of course his de clsion will be raufied. 1 think that he will now endeavor to pat his old scheme of a railroad clearing house through, He may have had & move of this kind on foot ail aloag for all I know. The retirement of the Missourl Pacific from tho Western Trafiic association does not of itself wmeaa tho breaking up of the association, but the addi- tion of two other roads will make it actual disbandonment. Of course Mr. Sage will probably add the lowa Central to the Mis- sour: Pacitic, aad Mr. Gould's influence will add some other roads, thus leaving the asso ciation without & quorum. In any case the withdrawal of the Missouri Pacific road, if carried out, would leave so large a gap in tho territcry covered by the association that 1ts break up would be only a matter of time." i Use Hallor's Barbea Wire liniment for cuts,old sores and sprains—horses and oat - tle always get well. e PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

THE DUN'S REVIEW FOR THE WEEK Reports from Business Uentars S8how a Good Trade and Flattering Prospeots. INCREASED EXPORTS OF BREADSTUFFS Money Easy and Dealers Well Supplied— 4 Weather Helps Trade In Many tons—Wall Kteeet for the Week— Clearing House Statements, New Youx, Jan, 15, ~R. G. Dun & Co's weokly review of trade says: It was sug- gestod two weeks ago that the exports in December were likely to be extraordinarily large. The preliminary reports just issued indicate that the rye exports in that month were probably the largest ever known, for while no increase appears 1 cottons and ox- ports of provisions, ocattle and oil were slightly less than & yoar ago, a gain of $20, 100,000 appears in breadstuffs, making the net increase in principal 1tems $17,540,854, or nearly 25 per cent, indicating that tho aggro- fato exports for the month will probably ox- ceed $116,000,000 against about 13,000,000 last year, when the amount was greater than it had ever been in any month. The exports of flour increased 50 per cent and exports of wheat are 15,600.000 bushels against 4,800,000 last year, while exports of cotton are 43,000,000 ‘pounds greater in quantity, though no increase appears in value owing to'the low prices, These enormous exports overshadow all other features in tho commercial situation. They insure large sup plies of money, if ever needed, but av present the markets are everywhere well supolied, except at southern points, and bevter supplied there than a week ago. The treasury dis- bursements have been large and there is no reason to look for a lack of supply of money. Anotner fact of large importasce is that the OMAHA DAILY BEE output was not diminished in December as is usual, owing to the stoppage of furnaces dur- ing the holidays, but was 158,082 tons weekly, against 188,183 on December 1. The market is fairly active, though the enormous ontput gives buyers an advautage, and Alabama and Virginia are offered at low prices. Favorable Reports from Business Centers, Copper is flat, and in tin there is little change, but lead is weak at $4.20, and the market for coal very dull on account of the very heavy output. The wool propuction last year is estimated considerably larger than that of the year be- fore, but the stocks on hand are somewhat larger, indicating that the consumption in 1801 has been about the same as in 18%0. The market shows no important change, and just at this season none is to be_expected. Bad weather checks business at Boston. At Hartford wool is less active. At Philadelphia no change appears in the important branches of trade. At Baltimore exports of breaastuffs for the last six months of 1891 werae in value $155,- 939,108, a gain of mare than $100,000,000 over the previous year. Pittsburg reports no change in the iron market, though prices for finished iron are growing stronger. At Cincinnati tobacco is in active demand and froe orders are noticed for boots and shoes. At Cleveland trade is larger than a year ago, though in some lines inactive, and the tide seems to have turned in pig iron ore, At Chicago sales of dry goods, clothing and shoes ave larger than & year 8go. So0me 1n- crease is seen in barley, 25 per cent in cattle, a third in flour, corn, oats and hides, while receipts of wheat and dressed beef are double last year's, but a decrease appears in cured meats, lard and cheese, and the wool raceipss areonly half as large as a_year ago. Trade Helped by Colder Weather. Trade in St. Louis is. helped by colder ge.:h“' and also at Milwaukee and St. aul. At Minneapolis the flour qutput is 178,000 barrels for the week, against 110,000 a year ago. At Duluth sales in 1891 amounted to $20.- 000,600. At Nashville trade is quiet and money easier and at Little Rock and Montgomery trade is dull, while at New Orleans cotton shows some improvement and sugar is steady, with money in more active demund. Depression of business o the south, on account of the low price of cotton, still con - tinues. Breadstuffs have bsen much weaker since the publication of the government reports, and wheat has fallen 1% cents, corn 1% cents and oas three-fourths of a cent, Ex- ports and receipts continue large, though the colder and less favorable weather to some extent restricts the movement. Coffee is un- changed and oil has advanced 3 cents. Cot- ton fell to 7.70 cents during the week, the lowest price for forty-three years, but has since recovered to 7.70 cents, though receipts and stocks are remarkably lurge. The de- pression at the south is not relieved by talk at the cotton convention, and probably can- not be 1n any way except by free sales of cot- ton, which is now held for higher prices. ‘The business failures occurring through- out the country during the last seven days number 8R), as compared with 435 last week (eight days).

Some liquidation bas accordingly resulted, though the chief declines have baon confined to par- ticulur stocks like Northern Pacific preferred, which seem to possess inherent causes for weakness, Ono of the principal loyers used by the bears was tho alloged dissatisfaction of Mr. Gould with the action of the Western Trafic association advisory board in refusing to meto out tosome of the computing ronds the same prompt punishment to which the Missouri Pacific was ovliged to submit in the Leeds oase. Tnflueaces of this nature wonld have little effect on speculative sentiment wore it not that the recent rise has temporarily ex hausted the buytng power and left tho mar ket in_ what is termed an overbought condi- tion, Under such circumstances the ab- sence of European support is severely felt, but it would seem that the bull leaders themselves concede the nocessity of & reac- tion in prices, which would not oniy create a shore iuterest, but afford a basis for a fur- ther advance. Tho underlying sentiment continues to be favorable to a higher range of prices, though it is conceded that uncertain conditions and possible declines may rule for some little time to come. —— Small In size, great_in resuits: DoWitt's LittleEarly Kisers.

Ryan. Mr. Adams de- clares that the Nortoas are guilty of felony in keeping the bonds when they are fully aware that they were secured through a mistake, and ho believes that they could be sent to the penitentiary” for it. The report that Norton Bros. have sold the $1,741.15 worth of bonds secured by them through an error'on the part of City Clerk Ryan is declared incorrect by that official. ~ He says that:the bonds lie securely in the vault of the 'Packers’ National bank and the injunction secured by him against Norton Bros. precludas any possibility of the bonds being sold. He tidicules the idea of the borids being sold at all, as everybody now knows that they wers: obtatned by mistake and that they really (represent nothing, as the property owners will never pay the amount called for, as they have already paid for tho graaing. Yidsd Stole His Own Clothes, Robert Brown, & waiter at the Chambers chop house, was arrested yesterday for steal- 1ng his own underolothies, and was sentenced to ten days in the cotmty jail.

Having & more remunerative position offered - him elsewhere, Brown packed up his effects and ‘left with them. Inside of an hour he was arrested on the charge of larceny, as'it was claimed that 1t was the goods that were garnisheed. Chambers appeared ugainst bim and he was convicted. Brown declares that Chambers’ actions were prompted merely by spite work, as he wished the waiter to remain in his service.

Figaring on a Big Job to Acsommodate World's Fair Visitors, PRESENT PLANS NOT SATISFACTORY, Disposition Among Rallroad OMeinls to Question the fdea of Geanting the 1linols Central & Monopoly of the Trafe, Ciioago Buneav or Tae Bee, | Cuteaso, I, Jan, 15§ The exocutive cominittes of the World's fair directory has apparently just discoverad that there are two halves of the problem of World's fair transportation, and that the gotting of the crowds from Chicago to'the fair grounds Is the smaller half. The other, and as it now appears to the directory, the larger halt of the problem is bow to get the crowds into Chicago. Prosident Buaker really seoms to beliove that the two Illinois Central tracks, carrying 30,00) porsons per hour can, with the assistance of the cable roads and the Jako route, do all the business saiisfactorily. Raiiroad men in the directory ~ disugree with Mr. Baker on this’ as on many other poiuts, Tney object to the settlement of- fered by Mr. Baker as giving the Illinois Central a monopoly and as being therefore unfair to the roads which they represent. It is stated by a prominent railroad official who has, conjointly with other ronds, made n thorough canvass of the World's fair trans- portation problom, that the twenty vailroads of Chicago will spend an average of &00,000 each on increased station facilities, new roll- ing stock and other equipments necessary to handle World's fair traffic. This means a total expenditure of $10,000.000. Anticipating a Shortage. An official financial statement of the resources and linbilities of the Exposition company, just issaed by tho publicity aud promotion department, that £6,000,000 more than is in sight will be needed before May, 1863, and the directors are figuring how they wHl ot the necessary money in case congross fails to make the appropriation requested. It is thought in the latter contingency local capitalists would probably ioan it and take control of the fair with a first mortgage on the gross gate receipts.
