Lander presenting tho papers to the sapreme court of Texas. ‘After reciting the interest the complain- ants havo in the property the bill further shows that the gross earnings of the “Fort Worth & Denver City - Rail- way company, including the gross reve- nues of the Pan Handle Railway company, from the lst day of January up to the Sth day of October, 1802, have been only about the sum of $1,110,407.04, as, against gross earnings for the similar period of 1802 in the nmount $1,204,281.38, whereby railway companies, defendant. have suffered and lost in gross earnings in the year 1893, up to the Sth day of aforesaid, in the amount of 818378374 as compared with the gross earnings for similar period of the preceding year, and the bill further alleges that from the best fnformation obtainable it is the belief of the orators that “‘for that portion of the year 1804, up to October 8, the loss of net revenue for the said companies has been considerably Tmore than $100,000, as compared with the same period of 1802, The conclusion of the complaifants being that the loss in ross revenue to the said Fort forth & Denver City Railway company for the year 1803 will considerably ex the sum of $200,000 and the net loss to the campany for the same period will undoubt- edly exceed - §150,000, wherefore they ask relief from countiess cases that will arise through the inability of the company to pay the interest on bonds and other charges goming due as well as maintain the road, Ppay operating expenses, etc. Appenl for Kecelvers, Mr. Thurston, who prepared the bill, as svell as all the papers in the case, says in his sppeal for receivers: Wherefore your orators ayer that the rail- way lines, the engines, cabs, rolling stock, equipment, personal and other property of the . dofendant ' companies are liable to be solzed won by execution and process of divers ana various courts, ut | the instance of tho 'unsecure {and present judgment and prospective judg- ment creditors of said company: in addition 10 which the individual creditors of the said companies will ussert their remedies in diffe ent courts agaiust - the propertles an assots of tho sald corporation d fendants aforesuid, and a race of dil enco will result and judgments and prior Fios will e nttompted and lovies and attach- ments will be laid upon the cars and engines of euch of the said several companies, Which Lawill grently interfere with and ultimately provent the sald railway companies from the performance of. their duties us comnion Flers, and the transportation of United Sta malls and property will b stopped.

TRADERS' TRAINS, Omaha Refmlers Eutertain Buyers from Towns on the Mussouri Paeific. The retail merchants of Omaha have for the past week been looking forward with no little interest tothe coming of today as the time set for the trial of their pet scheme, the running of semi-weekly excursion trains to this city for the accomodation of ceuntry buyers. The trial train was started from Falls City yes- terday and arrived in Omaha at 11:30 over the Missouri Pacific. The train consisted of four coaches and a baggage car and brought in about 200 people, not a large crowd, but a fair number for the first train. The fare from Falls City, a’ distance of about 150 miles, was $2, and points this side proportion- ately less, rauging down to 60 cents, The excursionists were required to buy their own tickets, the retail merchants of Omaha agreeing to refund the cost of tickets to all such as bought goods of them. Parties hold- ing tickets costing §2 were required to buy §£0 worth of goods in order to get their money back and cheaper tickets and a pro- portionately less amount of goods. On alighting from the train the excursion- ists were invited to take seats in busses proviaed by O, K. Scofield, the cloak man, and were given a_free ride to his place of business without being placed under any ob- ligation to buy anything. People in thatyvi- cinity were considerably prised to see seven busses drive up and deposit a crowd of people at Sixteenth and Farnam streets. Otner merchants had providea other ways of showing attention to the excursionists. Some gave their customers tickets calling for dinner at the restaurants. ‘The excur- sions were evidently in the city for business and very little time was spent in sightseeing, but they distributed themselves' around among the retail houses and commenced making the day’s purchases at once. The retail merchants expressed themselves as very well pleased with the exveriment and think that it is worth repeating. Some are in favor of makinga strong effort to bring 1n peopla from Towa, where the country is older and more thickly populated than™ in Nebraska. The intention, however, is to run the next train in over the Nebraska extension of the Rock [sland, ome of the most enterprising of the retail merchants of Omaha havé been working on this scheme for some time, by which people out in the state might be enabled to do their shopping in Omaha. A good many cities the east have made a _success of ~oxcursion trains for retail buyers, and it was argued that the same thing might be done here. The onterprise, however, is meet- ing with no hittle opposition, as was to be expected. Country merchants do not like the iden of having their best customers brought to Omaha to do their trading and hey do not hesitate in saying so. The a jobbers are also very much opposed to the plan as i takes trade away from their customers in the country and gives it to the Omaha retail dealers. ~ The opposition on tho part of the jobbers is so strong that some of them have given notico that they would withdraw from the Com- mercial club if that organization gave any encouragement to the scheme. The retail dealers, say, however, that_they do not re- quire any help from the Commercial club and are r own responsibility. al club has taken no part in the enterprise and from the attitude of the jobbers is not likely to. The retail merchants of Omaha claim that the country trade is something that Omaha has had very hittle of and that they cannot afford to ignore the field. Morchants always regard country trade as the very best, as it is a cash trade and large in volume when once worked up. TROUBLE FOR 10WA ROADS. Western Freight Assoclation Lines Register a Big Kick Cnicaco, Oct. 24.—The lines of the West- ern Freight association have taken a stand on the question of division of carnings, which swiil make serious trouble for some of the Iowa roads. The association lines have come to the conclusion that for many years back they have been aliowing the Iowa roads too large u percentage, and have agreed after November 1 they will allow them only their local earnings. It has been the custom hevcetofore for the Towa roads to deliver *a car of merchan- dise to an association Line and receive anywhere from 40 to 52 per cent of the charges to the point of delivery. For instance, one of the small roads would have a car consigned to Chicago and would de- liver it at the nearest point of junction to Chicago tines, which would deliver it in Chi- cago. Thus the lowa line would not handle the car for over 100 miles. The connecting Jine would handie the same car three or five times that distance and allow the other line approximately half the total freight. This, it is now proposed to stop and the Iowa lines will receive nothing more than the total of the lccal charges from the point of shipment to the junction point with Chicago lines. President Relnhart and several of the di- rectors of the Atchison road were in the city today, enroute to attend the annual meeting of the directors of the road at Topeka Thursday. President Rein- hart denied the stories which had peen published lately regarding the bad condition of nis line, "He says it1s in a position to take care of all its financial oblizations, and the outlook was better al present than it had been for several years, The Union Pacific has agreed to the re- quest of the Western Passenger association committee for a conference on the question of immigrant business, aud it will be held in Owmaha on Friday or Saturday of this week. KORMING A GREAT COMBINE, Scheme to Secure the Carrying Trade of the Anthracite Reg. PHILADELPRIA, Oct. 24, —It is believed in this city the securing by the Vanderbilts of the control of the stock of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western is the first step in the formation of the greatest combine ever inaugurated in this country, and that before it is finished will inciude all the conl carrying companies that have terminals in Jersey City. The Lebigh company is said to be a party to the deal, notwithstanding the denial of officers of that company. It is known that on Monday Vice President Gar- rett of the Lehigh was in Now York in consul- tation with the Jersey Central, and while he stated today no negotiations were in pro- gress it is alleged they have partially settled sowe sort of an agreement. Such & combine would aim a blow at President McLeod of the New York & New England Railroad com- pany by cutting off all possibility of his en- trance iu the anthracite coal fields of Penn- sylvania. It 1s known that resident Mc- Leod is very friendly to the Lehigh Valley. While the Reading people deny all knowl- edge of any deal being made between them and the new coal barons it is believed the vers ave perfectly willing to enter into any agreement which will benefit the Read- otors, Sr. Lavis, Oct, 24.-—~The anuual meeting of the St. Louis & Santa Fe railroad stock- holders was held this morsng in the office of General Manager Morril, 361,588 shares baing ropresented.

Kaxs Crry, Oct. 24.—The Star's To- peka, Kan., special say: There is little liability of a strike on the Santa Fe system. General Manager Frey and the grievance committee of engineers and firemen employed by the system had a conference this after- noon. Mr. Frey stated that while the com- pany would be able to meet {ts September and October obligations in November it would not do so now. A strike, he said, would not hasten tho payment of salaries a day or an hour. The committee was satis- fied and departed with the understanding that the men would walt until the company could pay them, Grievance committees from Emporia and Argeutine will confer with Mr. Frey this afternoon. He thinks a similar conclusion will be reached.

SAMPLE OF t& BEMIS VETO How the Mayor Dofénded the Oity Treasury Against an Attempted Raid. ABOUT THE HOWBEL JUDGMENT CLAIM Story of the Openingef Leavenworth Street to the River—Why the Approprine tion Was Tuened Down by the Executive, One of the most notorious attempts which have been made to raid the city treasury during the past two years is what has come to bo known as the “Howell judgment claim.” The Howell judgment grew out of the opening of Leavenworth street from Sixvh street to the Missouri river in 1887, The Howell Lumber company owned a piece of ground in thut vicinity and a strip off it was appropriated by the city, the Howell com- pany being awarded $1,000 damages and not assessed for auy benefits. This amount was not satisfactory ana the Howell company brought suit against the city, getting judg- ment. A levy was made against the abutting property to pay the cost of opening the street, ‘wmounting to $10,772.84. Warrants for this amount, were issued and turned over o the clerk of the distriet court to meet the amount of the judgment. These warrants have drawn interest at the rate of 7 per cent since Docomber, 1891, und £2,204.70 has been paid on them as fast as taxes were paid in. The Howoll company was taxed §,586, under this levy, but has persistently refused topay thoamount or any part of it. This judgment has_passed into the hands of ex-Councilman C. L. Chaffee and he has made persistent efforts to have the ful nmo\ml.rn(d by the city out of the goneral fund and the judgment tund. Three attempts have been made within the past year to rail- road this claim through, but each time the veto of the mayor has been sustained. Threo times the city council has voted to the claim, taking about $6,000 out of the general fund and the balance with intorest, amount- H Ao out of the judgment fund, ng it N £ 1ts Veto. Among the reasons presented by Mayor Bemis why this claim should not be paid. in the mannor proposed, were the following, in his veto message to the council September 19, last: esulting from this exten- sion of Leavenworth street were special in their nature and related only to property between Sixth street and the Missouri river and were in no sense a general benefit to other property in the city, 1 therefore veto this item for the reason that it is manifestly unjust to appropriate the m of the gen- eral taxpayersof the city, which has been contribured to the general fund and general Judgment fund of the city, to pay a special judgment rendered for the taking of prop- erty for the extension of a street across the Missouri river bottom which is never used for general travel, but is only used to reach the property specially benetited. I also veto these items for the reason that their allowance: and payment in the manner proposed is in direct violation of section 165 of the charter which provides that judgments against the city shall be paid out of the judgment fund or, whena special fund is created for that purpose, out of such special fund. - There can be no con- troversy rogarding:the fact that a special fund has been created for the purpose of paying this judgment, which it 1s proposed to pay out of the general fund. Such action is not only unjust to the general tax- payers of thecity, but is a_plain violation of the charter. “I veto these itemsfor the further reason that the proposed payment of the same out of the general fund and general judgment fund is in wviolation of another .provision of the charter. .I referto section:-601, which, provides asifollows: ‘Each und every fund created b this act shall be sirictly devoted to the purpoe-for which it was created and shaltnot be diverted, trans{erred or bor- rowed therefrom; any member of the city council yoting to so divert, transfer or bor- row the money in any fund shall be liable on his official bond for the amount so diverted, transferred or borrowed.” Protecting vhe/tieneral Fand, ““While the general fund may be used for any. legitimate purpose, tho general judg- ment fund can only be used for the purpose of paying general judgments for which no special funds are created. In view of the fact that warrants are now outstanding and in the hands of the clerk of the district court for the full amount of the Howell judgment, drawn on the special fund created for the purpose of paying the same, it is not only a plain, palpable diversion of the entire money in the general judgment fund, but 1t is also & wrongful and unjustifiable use of the money in the general fund to issue additional war- rants aggregating §9,445 on these two funds as is proposed.” Continuing, the mayor said: ‘The reason a greater portion of the remaining special warrants aro not paid is due to the failure of the Howell company to pay their special as- sessmeuts, which are now due and delin- quent. It seems to me a gross injustice to refuse payment or defer making payment to taxpaying citizens of Omaha who hold judg- ments against. the general judgment fund or have valid claims against the city, and turn over, withont authority of law, the funds of the city to a judgment creditor who neglects or refuses to puy the special assessment which was made to cover the identical judg- ment sought to be enforced.” The message contained several more rea- sons, equally pertinent, and couched in vig- orous English, showing the palpable injustice to the city at largo by the proposed raid, and when a vote was taken there were.only four votes in favor of passing the claim over the mayor’s veto.
