In the first case, the North- western has aninety-nine-yearcontract with the “‘Overland,” rezarding the traus i of both passengers and freight to Pacitic coast points, the close alliance having been accomplished during Charles Francis Adams’ term_as president of the union Pacific, which is admitted to be a jug-handied affair, largely in favor of the Northwestern, “T'he use of the bridges and terminal fa ties enjoyed by the Milwaukee and Rock Island on payment of & yearly fixed rental will also play no inconsequential part in the uew regime, and there are several anxious general agents in Omaha, wh sire to know just what course the' re will pursue regarding said contyacts; which Justice Brewer found to be advantageous to both interests. Judge Thurston, when asked if the inter- vention of the cours would affect th tracts, said that all contracts wo doubtedly be continued by the court as long 48 their justico was not questioned by one party or the other, and that expediency would govern in matters affecting the (uture policy of the system “For the present things will run along the same as heretofore; but what the future will bring forth 1t is not now in our province to speak. All contracts affecting trafiic botween lines will be scrutinized and if botter arrangements can be made, undoubtedly some action will be taken looking toward that end. It is too early to speak of these matters now, the details of the transfer of the property not yet being complete. ““You n.ay say,” continued Mr. Thurston, ‘‘that the samo reccivers have been ap- pointed by auxiliary proccedings in the federal courts of Kansas and the Southern district of New York, the district m which Now York City is situated.” SERIGUS SITUATION. Effect of the Unlon Pacific Receivership on the Westorn Passenger Association. Cureago, Oct. 13.—The appointment of the Union Pacific receivers has proved a serious embarrassment to the Western Passenge ociation, for the reason that the associa- tion has no idea of the way in which the reccivers will vegard i rule receivers have been against railway associations, Today Gene Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific announced that the resolutions passed yes- terday by the association on the matter of basingon cut rates was satistactory to his line and would be accepted. ‘I'he Union Pacific then gave up the request for a change in the association method of doing business, save that it asked that the clause of the agreement reading that when an association line was forced to meet a competive rate made by a nonassociation line it can do 'so ‘“with the consent of the chairman,» within or without the association™ be changed w read “within theassociation.” This practically lets down the bars of the association when it comes to meeting competitors. The request was anted and the reading changed. When Mr. Lomax agreed that the Union Pacific would remain in the association he was ig norant of the appointment of the receivers, Later, when the information came, he said he was unable to promise anything, as he was without instructions and” could not telt what the wishes of the receivers would be, Tho Ohlo river lines are accusing the Ivania of flooding the market with readig from (| 20 to Cincinnati, The tickets, moreover, are said to be good for twenty, instead of ten days, as the agre ment provides. The Peunsylvauia's com- petitors declare it has been guilty of a gross breach of the agreement, and will have the matter investigated. Tho annual statements of the Chicago & Iastern Illinois for tne year ending Juno 30 shows gross earnings of $4,446,950; operating 0Xpens 2,07 net income from the roads, ces, $359,208, There was §105,112 paid in dividends, and the increase in not carnings was $264,231, compared with last year. COREATED SURFRISE IN DENVER. Actlon of the Omahs Unlookesd For There. Dexver, Oct. 13.—The appointment of re- ceivers for the Union Pacific railway today created considerable interest here, as it was entively unexpected. The attorneys for the company, Messrs. Teller, Orahood & Mor- gan, refused to say a4 word upon the subjoct, and it was evidont that the action of the Omaha court was us great a surprise to them as any one else.

His attorney in case, Judge Wells, this afternoon said 3 appointment of Messrs, Clark and Eller Anderson will in no way complicate our cas Our application was a prior one to this and one %o which Mr. Ames was a party in suit. Judge Hallett of the United States court can, when our case comes up for hearing in December, 20 ahead and appoint a receiver without any reference to these appointed to- day and iguore them entirely, ‘This matter has been decided by former decisions, but whether or not we will demand such action 1 canuot now say."” ourt Was Entirely Noticed in tho Senate.

The land is the most fertile of the Winnobago resc vation allotted by the government in 1803, nd borders on the Missouri river.

Major Burke and a friend, Dr. Allison Nailor of Washington, met Captain Daniels, and the big-hearted major groeted the boys' friena with the question: *How are you getting on about getting the children into the fair?? Just in the same old way,” replied the superintendent, So far as I can see the only way the children can have a look at the fair 18 00 see as much as they can s6e from outside the fair, and walk there to do it,” “Why, I am surprised at that,” said the major. *'T understood that the board of af- rectors had made a 10-cout rate for all the children. Didn’t they include the waifs, or was that rate only intended for the nice, clean, well-dressed and well-washed little boys and girls?” “'Oh, it included the waifs all right,” satd the superintendent, “'the only troublo is that they did nce give them the 10 cents.” 'hat's u shame,” said the major, and he qualitied the noun ‘with an adjective that does not look pretty in print, "1 tell you what youcan do,” he continued. *Yousend 1,000 waifs to the fair and call on Buffalo Bill and Ate Salisbury for the money. These litt @ zentlemen of yours are poor, but they kuow now to behave themselves, and it is au outrage that their poverty bars them from seeing what every child in this broad land should see.

S. Walker, a lineman in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph company at this place, had an exporience this morning which nearly cost him his life. In company with auother lineman by the name of Ed Wilson ho was engaged in & net work of wires on & pole at Thirteenth and O streets. [t hap- pened that the wires which support the trolley wire of the street railway systom were not properly insulated and every time o car passed the guy wire would rattle up against the telegraph wires. While Walker was engaged at his work the wire became crossed with the heavily charged electric wires and one of them happened to be laying acro$s his fa Ho received a terrivle shock. He could not loosen bdmself from the wires caused by the powerful cur- rent and was held in this position for seve minutes. By this time the electrie Huid had burned through the telegraph wire, thus broaking the current and releasiug Walker from his most painful and dangesou s posi- tion. His sufferings during the short period were something terrible and his narrow escapo from being electrocuted was nothing shor* of a miracle. Sued an Omaha Paper, W. C.
