Judge Dundy Comments on the Change of American Water Works Recolvers, The American Wator Works plant, which supplies the citios of Omaba aud South Omata with water, is a stupeundous affair, The magnitude of tho business may be estimated by a glance at the report filed to- day in the United States court by Mr. Ellis Bierbower and Mr. Alouzo Huur, who were appointed receivers for the plant last ruary. Tho report sets fortn a detailed account of the receipts and expendi- tures of the ofieo by mouths. The receipta bave been ovor £25,000 par month auring tho thme covered by the report. The total re- “ceipts @s given 1n tho report for tho oight mouths were §2:8,7 The aisburse- ments, incluging the #14,000 paid into court, were cqual to the receipis. In adaition th payiug tho running expenses of the plant, repairs, etc., a considerable WmMOuGL'Was ve- quired 1o pay iuterest on bonds The repert was filed and Judge Dundy issued an order cailiug upon the attorneys for the wing of tho corpuration which op- posed tho appomtment of the recoiver to sppear within ten days and show cause, AL thoy have any to sdow, why the report should uot bo vecelved. Speaking of the matter Judeo Dundy said *When | aopoiated Mr. Beirbower and Mr. Huut veceivers of this water works plant 1 took particular pains to have the matter so fixed that the interests of the city could not suffer. \While I only demanded a bond of $10,000 of them, ot the same time I made it obligatory on the partcf Mr, Hierbower to PaY tho woney into the court as fast as it sccumulated in sums of £,000. In that way 1 keep money enough under tho coutrol of the court to bridge over auy possivla ewer geney. Just how matters are going to work from now on I carmst sav.

SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE A BLUFF Members of Sehen the Park Board Think it 1s a © to Compel the City to the T th Owaers, Thers appears to ve a general misunders standing about the relations between Syndi- cate park and the pablic. This romantic and beautiful tract ot rough but attractive wood- and ts owned by the South Owmaha Land company. ‘The company numbers among i8 members several of the wealthiest men in Omaha, tucluding Peter lier, W. A. Paxton, Horman Kountze and others. The par« tract proper includes only about fifty acres ciug tho lakes and the ra- vine strotching along 1n & vorthwest and southieast dirsction botween Omaha add South Omaka about where Tweatieth street woula run if extended u half-mile south of Vinton. But tho tract known to the putlic as Syndicate park inciudes 103 ueres Iying cast of Twenty-third street, north of G street and south of A street and extending in a soutbeist direction to a point where Six teenth street would moet G street 1n South Omaba, About threo years ago the company made some expensive improvements about the lakes in the center’ of the Lract wudicating that it would be set aside some timo us o permancut park. For a time the water from the springs was utilized for general purposes in South Omaha but that was Hnally douo away with when tho Awerican Water Works compauy got control of the field. . Sinco the 1 ments were made around the lukes and springs in the center of the tract the place has bacome very popular ss a pleasure resort for picnic parties and pleasure seckers during tho summer months, Tne public looks Upou Lae place as a public park, but in this the 1 sion has been erronsous. The tract has never been platted excepting tor the couveaience of the ownersaud it has never been dedicated as o park atall, It is simply a picce of open land upon which the oWwners nave seen At Lo Mage SOme 1mprove- ments inaicating that at some tume 1t would be made & public vark. Positlon of tho Owners, Thero is an impression abroad that the adjacent lots outside of the l0s-acre tract have been sold by the company upon the representation that this was to ve s public park, but tho owners flatiy deny that they huve ever set forth any such a tuing iv the salo of lots. “Hereis ono of our blai member of the company, vourself whather ther about the par ‘Lhe park was not even meutionea in the deod and the member of the company to whom the reporter was tulking said tbat all their deeds were just like tnat oue. We ave not obliged to maintan park there,” he continued, “‘and we bave decided to fence the tract so that we can control it vetter. It will still ba obtainable for picric purpoies but parties who wish o use it will be obiiged to got permission of the company here atthe office. The company would scll the tract to the city at o very reasonable price but the park commissioners do not seem to want it, so we have fenced it in, ik deads,” suid a ou can see for anything ‘o it Have you heard any complaint from proverty owners m the viciuity of the park since you bezan Lo fence the tract in !’ None but the complaint of one mun, who es south of the park, who has been in tie habit of driving throu our grounds when ne came to Omahu, Ho complains that it is farther avound than it was through the pavk, But [ hardly think that we shall be oblized o take down the fence i1 order to letthat man bave a wagon road across our property.’ A memoer of the Pari commission was in terviewed with rogavd to tae attitude of the board toward the owners of Sy e park. Makes Trouble for the rd. “The trouble with the Synuicate park deal,” said be, is that the owners wanted tosellusa hole in the ground ata vers Ligh price. ‘The park commissioners wanted some land mlonz with tho hote, but tue owners of the tract wantea us to pay threo prices for iv and we refused to e ain the proposition, because we believes rk Bo, much better vy the publ toward AUR rviver and buy a more lovel and desirablo piece of ground. We have not succeeded vet in getting just what we want, but 1 thiak wo wiil oventu- ally get hold of a piece of land for a south side park that wiil be much more desiraole than the Syudicatetract and at a much lower price. 1am of the opinion that the owners of the Syudicate park tract thought that they would work up & tremendous puoiic sentiment when thoy began to feuce in thoir property and that the park commissioners ~ would oo compelled o purchase their lang, Buttney bave been disappointed in this. The_ aenument in tuvor of purchasiug Syndicate park is not what they hopea it would be, and I tnink in time thoy will sce that tho public can got along without theiv land and then. thoy will be willing 10 scll 1t at what it 1s worth, The land is 5o rough that they can make nothing outof it anvway, and they will eveutually have to sell it or giva it to cither Owaha or South Omana. That is my opinion about the mat at least. and 1 think tuere are other mewbors of the board wha ook at it in atout the same light.” Work is prozressing in owl but Bemis par g to wie shortness of funds nearly all work on the other parks, oxcepting the bullding of the hot house ut Hanscom, bas Leen suspended, veluud, the landscape gardener, wiil complete the plans tor Elmwood pa during the winter, so that work may be com- menced in the early soring.

AROUSING INT) ST, Manngers Looklng Anxiously Forward to s Meeting of the Western Association. Ciucaco, I, Nov. 3.—Great interest is manifested in the forthcoming meeting of managers reprosenting the roads in the Western Freight association to be held November 10. It appears that some of the lines have disregarded the provisional ment which provided for the strict mainten- auce of tariff rates until united acuon could be taken on the wroposition to establish a tonnage pool. The Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis road is no longer making any pretense of matutain- ing rates from the Atlantic seaboard to tho Missouri river. 1t declares, however, that it1s oniy meeting the irragular competition of certain Chicago-Kansas City roads, and it threatens to rotaliate still further by ‘reduc- iug rates to the basis of 83 cents for first class from New York to Kansas City. Tho agreed basis is §1.145, “There seems to ba no likelihood eastern and western roads wi'l uniform basis of passenger rates for the World’s fair, The conditions ura widely different in the different territories, The et roads will be called upon to carey mauny more passengers than thi estern roads aud will not agree to a lower rate than a fare and one-third for the round trip from Atluntic coust points, Iiven atthat rate thoy expect to have moro business than they can possibly handlo with even their largely increased equipment. For this reason they are not in_favor of the proposed mass: moot- ing which they have beon requested to attend in this city November 22, [I'he ma- jority of the western roads will insist upon aone farorate for the rvound trip. Tno eastorn roads are willing that tney should make such & rate, but for themse.ves, will reserve tho right to m rate. that the agrec on a WAL Mal n Rates, E. L. Lomax, general passenger a; the Union Pacifle, said to a reporter yester- day morning that notwithstanding the Union Pacific was out of the Transmissours associa- tion siuce November 1, he proposed to bo very conservativo regarding rates and wouls maintain them as long as the other roals ad- berad 1o the agreement, ‘People an- ticipated that I~ would cut rates, said Mr. Lomax, *when we wero out of the association, but instoad of that I have put i winter tourist rates at a slight ad- yance over lust year. This will be our policy taroughout. “'As to our paying commissions to brokers on California business that is absolutel untrue. We are not engaged in the pas- time of cutting rates, our business at present bolug to hold' rates up 1o as- sociation agreements, for At best wo baven’t any too much business that we cau comfortably look after. You may say that wo are strictly sttendiug to our end of the situation and only ask com- vehitive lines to do likewise, !

Suddenly he dropped out of sight, but not out of memory, as there were any numuer of gentlemen, as well as a wife, all of whom were anxious to renew his acquatntance.
