2 p —— e — DORGAN BEGINS HIS SIDE Oase of the Ktate Ooncluded in the Boodls Trial, RANDALL RECITES A LITTLE HISTORY Olreamstances Under Which Quantities of ol Were Delivered at Lise Asylam by the Accused and His Agents, Laxcors, Oct, ~[Special to Tie Ber. |— The Dorgan trial reached its second stage today when thestate fnished its case and the defense brought out its own witnesses. The caso continues to be listless as far as popular interest 1s concerned. The Lincoln daily papers, with one exception-~the Nows ~carefully refrain from making any rofer- ence to the ovidence offered by the state, and from four o ton lines in an obscure col- umn each day is all that their readers look to for information in regard to the case. The most important testimony offered by the state commenced yesterday. Among the witnesses yestorday was Fred Raoce, the bookkeeper at the asylum during Governor Boyd's ndministration. Mr. Race identified Dorgan’s signature to warrants and youchers. Another witness was W. C. Mc- Dormand, a B. & M. conductor, who testified s to tho dates when he hauled cars londed ‘with coal to the asylum switch. Ex-Super- intendent Knapp idontified his signature on the original voucher and testified that the conl used in the boiler rooms was shipped to the asylum in carload lots, while the coal for use in the kitchens was brought out in wagons. Randall on the Stand. The next witness was W. M. Randall, who figured somewhat prominently in the im- peachment trial, and upon whomn the attor- neys for the state relied for some of their most damaging testimony. He is now a resident of Valley county, bat formerly ived 1n this city. und while here was employed by Dorgan to haul coal from the cars om the asylum switch to the institution. Ho testi- fied that ho was in Dovgan's employ during the months of July and August,1801,fwoof the mouths in which some of the alleged frauds were perpotrated, He rofreshed his mem- ory by a frequent reference to the same memorandum book which was so conspicu- ous in the impeachment trial last May. In this book he had kept a record of every arof coul taken tothe switch and unloaded y himself, together with the capacity of each car, as indicated by the figures painted on 'the ca 0ss-examination he gave cars which he had unloaded, und stated that to the best of his knowledge he was the only man unloading coal at the asylum switch during the two months referred to. He stated further that the cars averaged about seventeen and one- half tons, Dr. Hay, the present superintendent of the institution, took the stand to testify as to the number of boilers inuse at the in- stitution. The state endeavored to show by this witness the difference in the amount of coal consumed during the summer months of the year 1891 and the corresponding months of the present year, but the defense interposed a strenuous objection. The coury sustained theobjection, Uninteresting Testimony. This forenoon the state had but little tes- timony to offer to complete its case. K. C. Merrill, a clerk in the ofiice of the White- breast company in this city, was first called to the stand. The stato endeavored to 1dentify through this witness Dorgan’s signature to the warrants, but he could not say whether the signature shown him was Dorgan's or not. A H. Berry, forenian of the B. & M. car department, testified as to the capacity of the cars on his voad. Their capacity, he sald, ranged from 40,000 to 60,000 pounds. The cars shipped to the asylum contained from 80,000 to 40.000 pounds. G. E. Mexiss- wor. a bank olerk, was shown Dorean’s sig- nature tothe warrants, but was unable to identify it. With this witness the state rested its case and tho court took an adjournment until afternoon. T. H. Benton, ex-auditor of publio ac- counts, was the first witness placed on the stand 'by the defense this aftornoon. He described at length the methods of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. He was skown a large number of vouchers ad- mitted by the court on behalf of the defense esterday. Some of these were for supplies urnished to the Solaiers Home at Grand Island. Mr. Benton pointed out the fact that the Soldiers Home vouchers contained no line beneath the ilems charged for upon which the party furnishing the supplies ©ould sign his name, certifying that the ac- count was cor L and unpaid THERE WE MANY SURFRISES, ity Veteraus and T and Children Entertained, Fremont, Oct. 21 Special to Tue Beg. |- — The Sons of Veterans gave a delightful en- tertainment to the Grand Army of the Re- public and Women's Relief corps last even- Ing and in the meantime were the subjects of a genuine surprise themselves.

But there was enough for all. The old soldiers of the city are consiaer- ably wrought up by the fact that a veteran B0 years of age hus been confined in the pounty Jail on a sentence of ninety days, sixty of which are on bread and water, for the “erime” of drunkenness. The poor old man is not only suffering for want of proper mourishment, but from rheumatism, and an effort iz being made by the old soidiers of the city to liberate him on a writ of - habeas corpus.

Cricaco, Oct. 27..- Union Pactfic replied to the proposition of the Western Passengor association committee asking for a conference on the question of immigrant business, The reply is evasive, and has done much to strongthen the sus- picion that the road has already made von- tracts with immigrant agents. The Union Pacific says it is in full sympathy with the and alms of the committee, but it cannot do anything on the immigrant bus- iness until the association has brought over all the other trauscontinental lines. The matter of the conference 1s evaded, for no date is given as to whon it will be con- ventent for the receivers to receive the com- missioners. The result of this stand may lead to lively times in passenger business as s00n as the rush of traMo, which is now falling rapidly, is out of the w: The Central Traflic association lines have not yet fluished their vote on the proposition to extend the time of sale of World's fair tickets to November. The time is almost up which will allow the filing of rates with the Interstate Commerce commission, and if the votes are not a little swifter in coming in the lines will nave to make the rate on their own respousibility. Laughed nt the Threatenod Sult, The talk of General McNult, ex-recoiver of the Wabash, about bringing suit on behalf of several World's fair hotels against the railroads, because they did not reduce rates early in the season and thereby kept the people from coming to the fair and caused financial loss to the hotels, 18 laughed at by railroad men, Some of them declare that if the hotels bring suit they will return the compliment by claiming damages from the hotels for keeping the peoplo by their high s from patronizing railroads. Only one railroad mau would talk of the mutter in a serious way and he swore at it. An appeal been taken from the ruling of Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas- sengor association that he bad the right to announce all votes taken when the ballot was divided so that any line desiring to change its vote to the majority can do so. The matter is now being voted upon. PRUSIDENT FISH'S VISIT, Revival of a Rumor of an Iilinols Central Extenslon. ‘The visit of President Stuyvesant Fish of the Iilinois Central to Omaha at this partic- ular time revives the talk of giving the Illinois Central an Omaha connection or building the rond on the east side of the Missour! from Onawa, Ia., and effecting an entrance into the metropolis by erossing the East Omaha bridge, When the branch line of the Illinois Cen- tral was buils from Cherokee to Onawa,a distance of some sixty miles, it was gener- ally agreed that Omaha must be the ob- jective point of the big system, but for sev- eral years the talk has died out on account of the lack of facilities to cross the Missouri, either at Onawa or Omaha. The building of the East Omaha bridge, however, has ob- viated the difficulty, and it is prewty well known the Illinois Central people have had their eyes ou Omaha ever since the bridge Was a oertainty. 5 Although accompanied by the’ younger members of the family Mr. Fish, it is as- serted, drove out to the Omaha bridge Thursday to inspect the site and generally look over the situation. Onawa is practicaily on the Missourl river and it would not require more than sixty miles of track to get the Illinois Central into this city and give Omaha another rail con- nection with the easy and south, & connec- tion which has long been needed. It 1s thought that could the Nebraska Cen- tral people have flonted their bonds last fall the Illinois Central would have used the Ne- braska Central bridge, giving the road en- trance into the most central part of the oity, and by trafic arrangement with the Ne- braska Central could have easily gained ccess to Souvh Omaha. . Stuyvesant Fish and party left for On- awa yestorday morning via the Elkhorn in his special car. and will go from there to Cher- okee and Chicago via the Illinois Central. JIN HILL IS AHEAD, Judge shiras Dissolves the Restraining Order in the Sloux City Bond Case. Des Morxgs, Oct. 27.—[Special Telegram to Tk Bug.]—In the United States court today Judge Shiras heard arguments of counsel in the controversy over the control of the Sioux City & Northern aud Pacific Short Line railways. The suit grew out of recent failures at Sioux City, and a number of persons, firms and companies are interested in the outcome of it. The fight is claimed to be between the friends of the Great Northern road, which wants control of the Sioux City & Northern, and Sioux City and eastern ditors, whos oppose it. The case was brought at Sioux City by the Manhattan ‘I'rust company of New York against the Sioux City & Northern and C. H. Hubbara, assignes of the Union Loan and Trust com- pany of Sloux City, which held much of its stock and suffered severely in the recent crash. The last named defendant is intervenor. Tho receivers are Judge Huff of St. Louis and 8. J. Beals, named by trustees on the filng of the intervening petition, to which J. Kenned) Tod & Co. of New Yoric are made acfend. ants, und who it was claimed had sold the stock referred to, which, howover, was claimed by the creditors to have been illegal. Judge Shiras, holding court at Dubuque, granted a temporary order restraining J. Kennedy, Tod & Co. from making any further disposition of the stock in question until the hearing. Tho case came up on motion of J. Kennedy, Tod & Co. to vacate the temporary restrain. ing order. Judge Shiras granted the motion dissolving the injunction, which is a victory for the Great Northern people. The amount involved 1s §3,000,000.

Broomixatoy, IlL, Oaty 87.—General John MeNult, the attorney whe formerly was re- ceiver of the Wabash system of railways, has been retained by several of the syndi- cates who buiit and opeérated hotels in the vicinity of Jackson park, Chicago, during the World's fair to commence suits against the various railroad companies for damages, making unique allegations. General McNult says: ““The railroads in the Western Passengor association that op- posed the reduction of passenger rates to the World's fair arc liable for losses by hotels and other places of entertainment by reason of the custom béing kept away from Chicago by the high rates, The right to re- cover damages extends to all persons in or near Chicago who were proepared to entertain in any way visitors to the fair, but most clearly to those who built hotels’ and other piaces of accommodation near the fair grounds," The general holds that the conduct of the World's fair transportation committee, or some of its members, and a representative of the railrond association was collusive in its character, and amounted to conspiracy in law, but not in fact, to prevent the reduction of passenger rates to which the public and the persons making investment for the ac- commodation of visitors were entitied. WANT A TENSION, Reading Recelvers Ask Pormissi Honds to Seour PmaveLenia, Oct. 27.—The receivers of the Philadelphia & Reading railway have filed a petition in the United States circuit court asking for authority to use certain bonds now in their possession for the pur- pose of obtaining an extension of the Speyer loan; which now amounts to $2,500,000 and which became aue on the 34 inst.

The petitioners say they can- not comply with this demand unless they are permitted to use certain bonds which have come into their possession through ments with F. H. Prince & Co., B and other creditors of the Philadelphia & Reading road. The petitioners nssert that the New York committee of general mortgage and income bondholders join them in their petition and they usk generally that all their acts in re- gard to the loans due from the company be ratifled.
