e LANSING AND LONG QUARREL Lancaster Oounty Judge Acoused of Dishon- esty by His Daputy, RATHER QUEER COMBINATION AT LINCOLN Why & Nebraska Colonel with Six Years Exporience tn Ofice Lost His Posi- Hon—Thought the Conrt R ords Irregular, Lixcor.x, Sept. 1.—|Special to Tna Ber.]— | e report to the effect that Judge Lansing had discharged his deputy, Colonel Long, because the latter presumed to bea candi- date for the office to which the judge him- solf aspired fora second term is untrue, The geal diMoulty has leaked out. Yestor- Gay afternoon there was a conference in the judge's private office, and the Board of County Commissioners, Judge Lansing and Colonel Long were the participants. A few days since {t came to the ears of the county Judge that Long, who had some time before eirculated tho announcement that he was a eandidate, had further supplomented it with the sensational charge that Lansing was a defaulter and that he had not reported to the commissioners fees which he should have done. Yesterday Lansing discharged Leng and demanded of him that he explain s charges to the commissioners. Long charged in effect that Lansing had recorved fecs in the shape of court costs from Harwood, Ames & Pettis which he had not accounted for and that he had also failed to account for fes received for the makiug of transcripts, Tansingexplained the charges fully, and the commissioners retired appar- ently satistied therowith. The judge stated that the law firm had a note of his for collec- y nlso owed considerable court receipted his note, and he re- ooipted the court costs. Long, who has been it theofiice for six years, and who has always Xept the books, was absent at the time, and Lansing nhad a clerk take a record of the cases in which costs had been satisfled to be given Long when ho returned. The clerk Pigeon-holed the paper, and forgot to give it to Long when he came back. Later on Long made out a bill and sent it to Harwood, Ames & Pettis, Up came a representative of the law firm and demanded 10 know what it meant. The colonel was as- tonished and asked the lawyer to be per- mitted to take a copy of the receipt. He did 80, as the lawyer says, for the announced urpose of givln;:(l!rm r credit on the books, ut instead of ‘doing so sprune it on the imlln as evidence in support of his charge. Lansing contended also that by Long's advice the transcript fees had never been charged up, but the latter alleged differ- ently. The opinion of the county attorney has been asked on tiiis point and the matter “dropped for the time. As it is now Long is out of & gice, fat job. and proposes giving his former chiaf a wrestle for the judgeship. Broke Up the Family, Mrs. Lillian K. Shilling loft last night for the home of hier parents in Boone county, Jowa. Behind the simple announcement is thestory of a domestic tragedy that has Just reached the light of publicity. Her husband, Alf J. Shilling, was a member of the drug firm of Shilling Bros., leading bus- iness men, who were implicated in some of the state drug coniracts, as exposed in Tue Ber last winter. He had a very pretty wife, who was aware that she was very pretty. She liked the society of friends, and edjoyed it more than Shilling liked. Some time in July she went to Chi- cago, and not returning when she had agreed Shilling went after her. As the story goes they hada quarrel in which he struck and beat her and called her vile and opprobrious names. He returned without her, and sold out his interest in the drug business. The wife foliowed, and sought the advice of attorneys, she claiming that he had disposed of his busiuess for the purpose of robbing ‘her of any participation in the fruits of their mutual inaustry. Shilling got wind of her intention to seek o divorce, and as he was violently in love with her sought to dissuade her. Finding it useless he swallowed a doso of poison, and only by superhuman efforts of the doctors was he saved. This act delayed the divorce proceedings for a time and the wife went to her parents’ home in Perry, I, ‘When she heard he had sold out his busi- ness, she came back to Lincoln, secured the household and shipping them to Iowa fol- lowed last night herself. Shilling is said to have gone to his old home in Indiana, State House Plokups. Commissioner Erion today shipped 500 Yolumes of the report of the labor bureau of 1891-92 to the Worla's fair for distribution, Jenkins W.

Bartlett of Omaha secured com the supreme court toduy on Grew of the American Savings bank to pay certain checks issued provious 1o the failure of the bank. The court ruled that the issue of checks was equal Lo setting aside that amount of money for a specific purpose, aud that for this reason such checks were preferred credits. Dourt House, Judge Strode was engaged all morning fn hearing arguments on the motion to dissolye the injunction sccured by the Coldwater Na- tional bank to restrain the receiver from paying out money on the 10 per cent divi- dend, but the decision was reserved until Monday. The bank claims $6,000 as a trust fund, the amount of a note sent the Capital National for collection, and the procecas of which are among the S ussets. main point invotved was a_question of juris- diction, although it was also contended by tho defense that the federal statute, whilo providing that a national bank may sue and be sued, prohibited such processes as inju tion and attachment of the bank or its prop- erty, and was superior to the state statuts ‘which gives the rewedy of injunction when the plaiotiff believes that an act of the de- fendant may result in making any judgment socured ineffectual. During the course of the hearing Mr. Lambertson asserted that the cumsll'ull\' had reserved 50,000 to meet l‘!‘“ such emergencies as this cluim, but Mr. ure didn’t believe it, and sarcastically re- marked that one United States officer, the bank examiner, had said Dick Outcalt had given sec y for all of his indebtedness when he had done nothing of the sort. The Ishpeming National bank of Ishpem- ing, Mich., sues the Capital National bank on one of the Western Manufacturing com- pany notes, which Mosher unloaded upon it, Mary L.

PARK COMMISSIONERS, Names Discussed for the Now No Action Taken, The parkcommission held another meet- ing yesterday afternoon for the purpose of sBlecting some suitable name for the Parker tract, but as the members could not agree upon what the name should be the christen- ing was deferred until some other time. During the early stages of the meoting, Nebergall & Whitmore offered to clean out the artesian well in Hanscom park for the sum of §60 and put it in a condition o that the water would come within 175 feet of the surface. The offer was accepted. Mr. Tukey suggested that it would be a wise thing for the commissioners to take up the boulevard question and complete the cireuit by deciding what route would be fol- lowed from Elmwood park to the Parker tract. The surveys, he said, had been made and the commissioners should select one or the other. The whole matter was referred to the committe i ion, to confer with the st Having disposed of the routine business, Dr. Miller remarked that the time for agree- ing upon a park name for the Parker tract had arrived, and that owing to the fact that there had been a suggestion that the land be given the name “Miller” park and that on account of baving some delic: about dis- cussing the name, he would ret Before goiug he_stated vhat if the Jand was given his name it was without his consent, as he no desire to immortalize himself in that manner, When the doctor left the room the secre- tary read a lensthy lotter from A. J. Pop- pleton, in which that gentleman urged that the tract should be named Curtis park in honor of the late General Samuel R. Curtis, the man who was instrumental in building tho Platte Valley branch of the Union Pacific railroad, and a foew years ago died in a carrisge while riding from this eity to Council Bluffs, Regarding the war record of the late Gen- eral Curtis, he was the man who whipped the confederates to a finish at the battle of Pea Ridge, one of the battles fought during the rebellion. In his letter Mr. Poppleton wrote that the general had never madao his home 1 Omaha, his residence having been at Keokuk, Ia., though he had always main- tained a favorable attitude toward this city and was instrumental in giving it its first railroad. W. H. Alexander sent a letter to the com- missioners, in which he opined that the name of Miller would be suitable to the community, and that it would be as o monu- ment to the man who might be termed the father of Omaha's parks. Mr. Tukey thought that the naming of the tract Miller park placed the commissioners in a very delicate position, but notwith- standing that he did not like the name “Curtis.” The general was not-known by tho people of the city, and even the present geueration would ask *What Curtis do they meun " Judge Lake remarked that he had as much respect for Dr, Miller as for any man on earth, but on general principles ho was op- posed to the plan of namiog parks and pub- lie buildings after.living men, il again, the commissioners named the t MLl Parks but park, to the public it would look as though they had formed themselves mto a mutual admirati ociety Mr. Kilpatrick ‘said that as a rule he would not be in favor of giving the tract the name of any man who was alive, but this wis & case in which he did not think that the commission would be censured, owing to the fact that Dr. Miller was known to be a very honorable gentleman and had a very warm place in the hearts of the Omaha people. Mr. Millard explained that on some of the points he agreed with Judge Lake, but that this was one exception, 4s there was no man in the eity more entitled to the honor than Dr. Miller and that there was none more de- serving of haviug his name perpetuated. He folt that it was erecting 8 monument to his mewory. Judge Lake suggested that the time te erect monuments was after men were dead and gone and not while they were alive. Feoling that they were not all of one mind upon the subject of & bame, the commis- siouers thought it better to take more time aud as a result the matter went over until some subsequent meeting. e Balloon tonight at Courtland beach, THE OM AHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, UNION PACIFIC PROSPECTS Will Brave the Present Orisis and Evade a Reoeivership. INTERVIEW WITH JOSEPH H. MILLARD Predicta that Salaries Will Be Restored— No Recelver—An Interesting Talk on Subjects of Interest—Federation Plan Among Employes—Notes. Yestorday was Josoph H. Millard's railroad any. Banking cares have so greatly occupled the attention of the president of the Omaha National bank mn the past sixty days that he has not devoted any great amount of time to the condition of the Union Pacific, of which heis one of the prominent directors, but today he dropped discounts and loans to talic to a representative .of Tue Bee upon the affairs of tho *Overland”’ systom.+ When asked about the funding bonds ma- turing yesterday, Mr. Millard said: ‘‘The twenty-year funding bonds falling due today have given the company considerablo un- easiness, but T am very happy to say .that their redomption has been provided “for. I think the amount of these bonds is some- thing like £5,000,000, beaving 8_per cent in- torest. Arrangements have been made to issue a now bond to those desiring to con- tinue bondholding at a lower rateof Interest, 6 per cent, han was originally attached to tho old bouds. Finances in Good Shape. ““There are many persons who are satis- fled with the condition of the road to invest their money in_ the company and to these the old bonds will bo exchanged for new ones running I think for ten or fifteen jears. But should the holders of ‘the old onds desire their money, the road is in a position to pay them the amount of their holdings. “'As to the condition of the_finances of tho company Tam pleased to say that it is fn a position to take care of present Habilitien, and with the inereasea business soon to oc- cur I seo no reason for all the visionary talk going the rounds regarding a receivership. All that talk is purely mythical, as the com- pany, while suffering like all wdstern roads, is on a solid financial basis. Of course, the strictest economy must be practiced, the man- agement must cut and save wherover possible and the road must be conducted very con- servatively. With these missions of the im- modiate future accomplished, I have no hesitancy in predicting that brighter days are in store for the corporation which has done so much for Omaha and Nebraska, not- withstanding that the Ames’, tho Dillon's and the pioneers in the building of the sys- tem, have been reviled and slanderea by the people of this community. Sequel of a Strike. ‘‘Suppose that there should be a strike on the entire system. and nota wheel be turned for thirty The people would then real- izo such a panic as never before, which goes to show that Omaha and the Union Pacific ought to have interests in common, because the Union Pacific is really an Omaha road. Time was when Mr. Dillon imagined that the town on the other side of the river would become a great railroad ana jobbing center, but I am pleased to say that toward tho close of that very busy life Mr. Dillon real- ized his mistake and gave Omaha. all the credit she deserved.” *‘Have you thought that the men working on schedule would aecept a reduction?” “I cannot see why not, when they come to understand the situation. It is a well known fact that the Union Pacific pays better salaries than almost any other road, and naturally the men want all the wages they can get. but as a reduction tomporary in its nature is imperative. I believe they will see the justness of the situation and accept a reasonable reduction. I know how greatly tha men at the head of the system hated to issue the order re- ducing salaries, but it was absolutely necos- sary, and the general order was issued. Of course salaries will be restored, but when, is entirely dependent upon the business of the company.” . Will Have a New Depot. Then Mr. Millard drifted to that moss- covered subject, the Union depot, and was frank enough to admit that he was ashamed of the present accommodations provided the publie, but on account of the financial condi- tion thought it was impossible to improve matters at present. “1 hope, however,” said he, with that rare smile which sometimes illumines nis features, “‘to live to see a fine depot erected in Omaha, but unless they commence protty soon I have my doubts about living to see its completion.” “The site for the new depot,” remarked Mr. Millard, *‘should be at the foot of Far- nam street and I believe all the grouna nec- essary for depoi purposes could be purchased for $200,000, possibly less. 1t would not cost anywhere near as much as people think and would be a lasting credit vo the city. Of course the subject of a new depot will be revived some of these days, whon I hope it will be pushed to completion without em- barrassing injunctions and other bother- avions. Times are considerably better and I know the Union Pacific people are very hoveful over the outlook.” HAVE NOT OBJECTED, No Protest to the Proposed Wage Redao- tion on the Wabash Milwaukee. CH10460, Sept. 1.—Today was the date set for the inauguration of the 10 per cent re- duction in wages on the Rocl Island, Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and Wabash roads. All other lines reported that they had experienced no trouble, and in view of the vast number of unemployed on which the roads could draw in case of a strike they were expecting none. The truth of the matter is, however, that the ronds have not made any such sweeping reductions as they at first ntended. This has as much to do with the absence of strikes as the num- bers of idle men. The Western Passenger association has decided on s onoe fare rate to Chicago and ro- turn from Nebraska. Tickets from all pownts in Nebraska will be sold Sevtember 10 and 11, good to return up to and including September 17. ‘'he July statement of the Wabash road shows an inerease of earnings over the same period of 1802 of $ for 1803 were #24 penses were §0 over the same p Plan for Federation, The committee representing the several trades and organizations on the Union Pa- citie, after canvassing the situation among themselves, decided upon submitting three propositions to the men on the system which should be cousidered in their lodges.

Secretary Gilliland, who has charge of the bureau of information,is withholding the ci; cular from the press until Monday, when it will be given to the public,his design being to place a circular in the hands of every employe of the system before it is given to the press.

Day of the ¥ Scho The last day's work 6f'the delegates from the various Christian ghawches of the state, now assembled in convention in this city, be- gan yesterday morning it the First church,at Twentieth and Capitolavenue, It was the last session of the Sunday school brauch, and the first hour was oecupied with routine business, including election of officers, which resulted as follows: President, A. W. Harmer of Hampton; vice president, H. J. Kirschsteine of Hastings; recording sec- rotary, Charles Atwater of Kearney; corre- sponding secretary and treasurer, A. J. Mer- cer of Fairfield. The xrlnulpll address of the morning was delly by J. P. Martindale of Olathe, Kan., who spoke on ‘“The Teacher Before the Class.” He advised more Lenderness, kindne: tloness and sympathy in theso relatio less of the tendency to censure and severely reprove. He related a number of instances in" point that had come under his observa. tion, in support of his ideas, which were to make the head of the class more of a friend, sympathizer and counselor, Robert Mofiitt of Cleveland also spoke on m:onl Sunday school work, as did W. ¥\ bardsou of Deuver. Prof. Birdsall of Devoted to Sunday Council Blufts prefaced a solo with a few practical suggestions as to methods in tho Sunday school room. The latter part of the morning session was devoted to an “‘experi- ence” meeting as to the good that had been done by the convention, and the probablo effect that it would have in the various church flelds in the year 10 come. Noon brought the ond of tho Sunday school convention, as the afternoon and evening will bo devoted to the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, and the series of conventions will adjourn sine die at the closo of the evening session. The plan fotlowed this year has not proven the most brilliant kind of u success, and it will not b repeated. A number of the dele- gates who have attended former conven- tions were enthuslastic over it as an experi- ment, but the practical working has not been what they expected. It was thought that to get the delegates from all departments of church work togetherat ono and the same timo would be productive of the awakening of & great deal of interest, and that the ox- peuses of the couventions would bo reduced. The result has been, however, that the first convention om the list absorbed the interest as well as the bulk of the money, and the 1ast ones on tho program fared the Worst., ‘To obviate this feature the convention work will be divided next year, the Mission- ary society, the Ministerial association and the Christian Women’s Board of Mis- sions holding their conventions Jointly at Bethany, and the Sunday school convention and that of the Young {'eoplu'u Society of Christian Endeavor going to Fairfleld, the former meeting on August 20, and the time for tho latter being changed to the last Tuesday in June. ‘The ofticers that have been elected by the various branches for the coming year are as follows: State Mi: J.
