T0 DISCOVER THE GUILTY Alleged Viaduct Boodlery at Lincoln to Be Investigated at Once. SUSPICION RESTS ON ALL ALIKE Acoumed of Trylng to Rob the Property Owners Tlave Not Heen Named— Opening of the State Fair— Lineoln for & Day, Neb., Sept. 8 —[Special to Tnr somewhat sensational rumors which have gained currency in Lincoin within the past twenty-four hours in regard o an allegod attempt of several members of the eity council to extor: money from tho property owners interested in the viaduot appraisement damages is the talk of Lin- coln today, and it is more than likely that a rigid investigation will follow. The investi- gation is all the more likely from the fact that the parties making tho charee do not give the names of the councilmen who are suspected of a desire to line their pockets at the expense of the interested property owners. Consequently the suspicion rests upon all alike. T'hie vinduct damages havo been source of «rouble to the city 1 for two month and the p ple of th city have been making some rather broad hints as to the real cause of the d When the damages to abutting property were ap- praisod the amount did not sasisfy some of the property owuers, although Mayor Weir asserts thata part of them were perfectly content. An injunction was secured from the distric y & uew appraise- ment order the origins a fruitful award to 54,000, about $16, more thu the figure was fixed at in the first instance. Ihen Mayor Weir made a public protest it an interview in Tus Bee and a engthy and somewhat acrimonious discus- sion followed the mayor's statements in L} local papers of this city. After much delay and many disappointments the railroad con- panies finally agreed last Wodnesday to ad- vance the money necessary to pay the dam- ages to the property owners j council would pass another ordinance gua anteeing the repayment of the money Loaned to the city, It was to pass this additional ordinance that the extra session of last evening was held, Beforo it got together, however, the word was sed around that there was to be no quorum, for the reason that certain members of the coubcil had made a demand upon the property owners for $1,000. The mayor's informant of the attempted hold-up Wi 10 less o person than Judge C. L. Hall, ono of the judges of the district court. The high standing of Judge Hall in this city makes it improbable that the charge will pass without an_investigation. In the meantime, the passage of the required ordi- nance at 2:30 o'clock this morning has balked any attempt of the suspected councilmen to 0 Secure the $4,000 as a price Tor thelr sup- port of the muttor. The danger of bribery has passed, but the fact that a demand yw: made for nioney still remains to ranklo in the breasts of the councilmen who desire to keep their organization like Cwsar's wife, above suspicion, Judge Doane's Mandamus Case. The hearing in the mandamus case brought by Judge Doane ot Omaha to compel the managers of the impeachment cases to pay him an additional compensation of $500 was Tesumed before Judge Strode of the district court this forenoon. Manager Colton did not muke s appearance and so the weight of his testimony could not be addea to that already given by Managers Casper and Barry. Judge Doane placed two witnesses on the stand to give evidence in rebuttal. They were Judge Pound and Attorney Snell, both of whom assisted in the prosecution of the impeached oficials. Their testimony agreed with that given by Judge Doane. So the judge has no further light upon the verbal contract entered into between the contending parties to the present suit. But 1t is barely possible that ha will not be called upon to pass upon the evidence. The attorney for the managers raised the point that inas- much as the managers were, by virtue of their connection with the state legislature and by the authority conferred upon them by that body, -either a legislative or a judi- cial body, and that such being the case v would have no right to enter into a contract ‘with Judge Doane that might bind tho state. Judge Strode has taken this point under ad- visement and states that he will render a decision next Tuesday. Judge Doane is the only oue of the three attorneys who has made any demand upon the managers for additional compensation, but it is by ed by the manugers that in the event that the Omaha attorney succeeds in compolling them to pay to him the additional amount he asks, theother attorneys, Judge Lambert- son and Judge Pound, will also make a similar demand. The case will go to the supreme court whichever way Judge Strode may decide it next Tuesday. First Day of the Stute Falr. The “Columbian year state fair” opened today for the purpose of completing entries and everything is rapidly being pl in shapo for the large attendunce which is ox- pected next week. The usual work of re- pairing aud redecorating the old buildings has been satisfactorly accomplished and everything is in as good a condition as it is possible to makeit. Regarding the exposi. tion itsell, ex-Governor Furnus and others connected with the management are positive that the fair will be as great a success this year as it has ever beeu in the history of the state association. By special arrangements with the World’s fair ofticials nine of the lnrgest und finest herds of blooded cattle 20w on exhibition at Chicago will be brought 10 the Nevraska state fair early next weok, Private exhibitors are briuging Live stock all the way from the state of New York, and already overy stall, shed and pen is filled, “The county collective exhibits promise to be much better than has been auticipated, and peovle who are possessed of the idea that the presout yoar has been disastrous to the agricultural” interests of the stato are destined to a surprise. Lincoln is making the usual preparations for the reception of large crowds and it is evident that all who come will be taken care of. Lincotn in Brief., W. A.

Loxe Pixe, Sept. 8—[Special to Tur Bre.)—-Amos Whitcomb, a young man about 19 years old, son of James Whitcomb, Pen- der, Neb., met with a painful accident near this place this morning, which resulted in the loss of his left leg. Several days ago he left Pender by toam on & hunting expedition with a companion. Their plan was to drive as far us Cody in Cherry county and put in thoir time at shooting game. This morning, shortly after daylight, they passed through town and drove on to the canon half a mile west of town, intending to pull up among the trees and 0 Into camp aud propare breakfast. Just as they had crossed the bridge and wers in the act of turning off the road, which is banked high, the wagon overwurned, caused by a 09 sharp turn. Men aud all fell out, and simultaneously one of the.double-barreled shotguns lying in the wagon discharged its contonts into Amos' thigh. Leaving him alone, his companion hurried back to town for a physician, who was soon on the spot. While alone Amos shoved admirable pluck and presence of mind through his pain by ing a ropo about his leg above the wound d tightening it by twisting it with a stick to stop the hemorrhage. The entive dis- charge of No. 6 shot from one barrel of a 10-bore gun enterad the thigh, cuusing an ugly wound and shattering tho bone into countless pieces. 1t was necessary, in ordor o save his life, to act quickly, and’ amputa- tion was decided upon. Surgeon McKnight performed the operation at tho juncture of the upper and middle third. It is pronounced a very clover pioce of surgery. Tha oper: tion was comploted so svon after the acci- dent and the loss of blood was so slight that it 18 believed the patient will recover strength very soon mu‘ the wound be healed.

THE OMAHA DAILY BRE: ¢ . Every Indioation that Union Pacific Em- ployes Will Resist Retrenchment. CONSERVATIVES COUNSEL MODERATION Sentiment Among Employes on the Over- land Route—Hopes for Amieable Settle- ment—Bridge Arbitrary—Views of A Rallway Man-—-Notes. A gentieman identified with organized railway labor, who is at present on the pay rolls of the Union Pacific and is adverse to seeing his name paraded in the public prints just now, is authority for the statement that most of the employes on the Union cific system in Wyoming and the west aro indulging in some very plain talk in their lodge rooms-over the proposed reduction of wages, This same authority says that it keeps the conservative faction of the organizations busy to counsel moderation and restrain their more radical brethren from precipi- tating a strike that would make railway his- tory. The battle is waging somewhat flercely on western divisions and it is generaily aamitted that the article in Tue Bee published last Monday covered the local sentiment of Union Pacific employes exactly without the slightest exaggeration, It is said that there 1s a general opposition to the proposed cut and if the radical wing of the western divisions comes out on top in the present discussion of the situation, a voleano of discord may burst forth suddenly and cause considerable trouble on the entire systom. From an excellent source, it has been as- certained that the olive branch to be ex- tended to the company will be adoption Y of either a proposition to loan the company a percentage of wages or else have the cut limited to sixty days. In event of refusal of the company to accede, the probability of a strike of deplorable magnitude is indeed flattering, 8o the knowing ongs say. The most radical wing of organized em- ployes openly tayors a strike before submis- sion to a reduction. One of these men told a reporter last even- ing that he would *just as le avetake chances of a good salary undera receiver as to submit. to further retrenchment under the present management.” He says that some of the high-priced officials would be dropped under a receivership and vhat his opinion was shared by many members of his lodge. Deplores the Present Orisis. A counservative railroader spoke strongly ogainst the idea of a strike at the present time. He admitted the power of organized labor on the Union Pacific system and said that the wheels of trafic could be completely tied up. He favored submission to the cut, as he had confidence in President Clark’s as- surance, published in the BEk, to tho effect that reduced salaries would be restored when the business of the road permitted. With evident regret this young ~man stated that the conservative element in the organiza- tions was at tho present time in the minority, and that unless the proposition soon_to be submitted to the company by a committee of employes was favorably con- sidered a strike or attempt at it, at least, was among the strong probabilities of the near future. The charter of the new American Railway union, or federation of local organizations, will arrive today. A secret meeting has been arranged for tomorrow afternoon, when affairs will doubtless assume detinite shape. Two organizations interested in the sub- ject met last ovening in this city. At each meeting 1t is said a practical unammity of sentiment prevailed, and that if the com- mittee of employes that will wait upon the ofticials of the Union Pacific is treated with indifference by the latter, or no compromise results from that conference, trouble will surely be the sequel. George W. Vroman, chairman of the griev- ance committee of the Union Pacific engi- neers, arrived in the city yesterday and reg- istered at the Arcade. “Mr. Vroman does not coms to Omaha for the benefit of his health,” remarked a rail- ronder last evening. *‘tecomes here for busi- ness. There is a *hen on,’ and don’t you for- got it.” WAR WHOOPS FROM THE WEST ‘ | | BRIDGE ARBITRARY, Views of a Rallway Man op the Great Octopus, A Burlington man had something to say yes- terday morning about the discrimination in favor of Council Bluffs on the bridge ques- tion and wncidentally called down the Rock Island and Mr. Snyder's statement regard- ing the history of the attempt to abolish the arbitrary. “T'he truth of the matter is that the Rock Island has been trying to carry water on both shoulders. Thero was never a special meeting called to discuss the bridge question, although It is true that the Rock Island ro- questod Mr. Midgley, chaiyman of tue Western Froight association, to call such a meeting, I think, for August’ 8, but before the mecting was called the Rock Island with- drow its request and tho whole matter fell through. “When we were checking up rates under the Nebraska maximum rate bill the ques- tion of adding 5 cents & hundred on freight betwegn Council Bluffs and Omaha came up, The Nebraska ronds contended like the Tows ronds had contended when the railroad com- mission was created in that state, that ex- istiug rates were entirely 0o low. It was, therefore, agreed to Luck on & 5-cent differ- ential on all westbound freight from Coun. | cil Bluffs, The order was sent out to add the 5cent arbitrary, but before anything was_done, other than the publication of tariffs, a delegation of Council Bluffs jobbers waited on Mr. Sage of the Rock Island and shortly after that company withdrew from the compact and announced thatit could not, for the present, ut least, allow the differen tial to bo added on Council Bluffs froight seeking entrance into Nobraska territory. “Now thero is something exceedingly sug- gestive of the ‘nigger in the woodpile in this, I make bold to give n reason for the sudden withdrawal of the Rock Tsland frowm 1ts posi- tion, and 1 Believe the facts will bear me out in the statement that the Rock lsland people and the implement and grocery trades of Council Bluffs have tied up for mutual benofit. With the understanding that as much freight as possible should be diverted 1o the Rock Island, the latter company agreed to withhold a8 long as possible tho arbitrary applying to Council Bluffs jobbors, An iuspoctions of the waybills of shippers from Mississippi river points to Council Bluffs will show that the Itock Island is doing the bulk of the business, which s significant in iteelf. The grand stand play of Mr. Sage, however, won't win & game, and 1 anticipato seeing this matter adjusted in the near future.” It is & well kunown fact that prospective jobbers looking to a location in Omaha have been beset with Council Bluffs poople and have been told that they could not afford to iceato 1n Omabia with the present differen- tials existing, Should they locate, how- over, in Council Biuffs they ' would have access to Nebraska territory on the same equality as the Omahn jobbers, but should they build into Omaha they would have to pay s b-cent arbitrary to ge into lowa territory. ln consequence, Council Bluffs gets the bost of the situation [Lwas for the reason above mentioned that the McCormick Farm Machinery company ATURDAY, located in Counctl BruM!ithough at one time they had soriously thalight of locating in Omahna. Al TEXANMATES, Western Passenger Assosiation Lines Will Take Action, Cnicago, Sopt. 8. —Sokthwestern lines in the Western Passenger: association had a meeting today to consider the rate situation in Texas. Tt developed, that World's fair ratos v ere being scalped at Calro, St. Louis, Hannibal and Kansas City by the manipula- tion of through tickets of the Texas roads issued from points in thiat state to Chicago, These ronds had beenmotified to so change the conditions of their tickets as o pre- vent the demoralization of World's fair rates, but the demoraliza- tion has ~ been allowed 1o go on uninterruptedly. It was decided at the meeting today to call the attention of the Texas lines to the matter again. 1f the matter is not remediod at once, through re- Iations will be terminated at once and an- other boycott inaugura ted. Notice has been given by the Union Pacific road to its conmections that all passenger rates to points south of Ashland, Ore., via Portland “that are less than the rate via Ogden, U, T., and Sacramento, Cal., to the same points, must be canceled. Rates to California points via Portland must not be less than the rates via Ogden and the South- ern Pacific road. When such are shown in the rate sheets at a less rate the rates via Ogden and Sacramento must be_applied, Socond class rates to Aspen, Glenwood Springs, Newcastlo and Red Wing have been abolished entirely. Bullding & Passenger Oar. Not many people know how much material enters into the composition of a first cluss passenger car. To build a passenger car of the best kind requires about 2,400 feot of pop- lar, 3,400 feet ot ash, 1,000 feet of white pine and 2,300 feet of yollow pino, 500 feot of the bast oak, 400 foet of the strongest hickory, 400 feot of charry, 400 foot of maple veneer and perhaps small amounts of other woods. Thero are four pairs of wheels and axles, two pairs of pas- senger car trucks, about 3,000 pounds of iron, 700 pounds of castings, 500 pounds of galvanized iron and 25) sheots of tin, Then add screws, chandeliers, air brakes, sash balay sixty or seventy glass panes for the windows and doors, stoves, seat fixtures, lamps, door locks, knobs and hinges, basket racks, window lifts, window fastoners and seat springs. and you have most of the hard- ware. Then thero are about 200 yards of plush, 100 yards of sheeting and 200" pounds of hair. When all these things are taken into the account no wonder can be felt that a passenger coach costs over $4,000. Tho materials do not cost this much, but beforo the car is put on the road about $1,200 will bo expended 1 lubor. About Rallroad Headquarters. “It took just $1,050,00 in currency to pay off the employes of tho Big Four and Chesa- peake & Ohio,” sald Prosident Ingalls the other day, “but we raised it and paid them alloff in cash, as we could afford to pay the discount better than they. Eighc hundred thousand dollars of the amount we rased without any premium, but §250,000 of it cost us just $6,000.” It is thonght a conferetice with the man- agement of the Union Pacific will be held next week by organized, Jabor looking to an adjustment of the wagh question, The Union Pacific will run a special excur- sion Sunday to Courtland beach f-om points north of Columbus.
