UNION PACIFIC REORGANIZATION SCHEME Work of the Committes ns Outlined Mosts General Approval—Recelvors Ask the Court to F.x Thelr Kate of Sai~ Ary—Raitrond Notes. The plan of reorganization of the Union Pacii s outlined in yesterc morn: ing’s Bk gives general satisfaction at head quarters, assuring at it does an impartial and fair consideration of ail the interests in volved in a property whose indebtedness touches nearly 250,000,000, system But #he plan does not ne y contem: plate any hasty action on the part of the reorgamization commitiee in removing the servants of the court from their positions as seceivers, In point of fact, the receivers may hold office indefinitely, or until s time as all the indebtedness of the comp has been taken care of. “The committee of rearganization, in the opinion of a well known lawyer, will only attempt to bring all the interests of the road together upon some general vlan of financing the company. This may include the issuing of now mortgages, the scaling down of the interest, the extension of the government licn, and the satisfactory equipment of the eravo financial problem with the smaller holders of Union Pacific securitios. A first mortgage holds seniority over a government lien, while a government lien holds priority over a collatel trust note. 6 inter ests can be united probably upon some general plan of reorganization whether the little fellows who hold Union Pacific curities will agrce to a compromise on a less rate of interest. is one of the questions which the committoe must decide for itself after the most careful canvass of the situ- ation. “Heroin lics the greatest danger of fore- closures,” a5 the attorney remarked. *To Keep the property from disintegration the present interests would have to arrange for tho purchase of these claims or A new com- pany would have to be reorganized for the purchase. The government also might con- clude to be a party to the scheme of securing a larger intercst in the system, in which event 1t would come in as a private party and take its chances with tho rost. KICKED ON THE DECISION, 1y Chairman Caldwell’s Raling Not in Popu- tar Favor i Local Rullway Circles, Theve is trouble brewing for tho *low joints. as the local passenger agreementis called, and something may be heard to drop in the not remote future. Yesterday the members of the local agreement hicld a meet- ing at the oftice of the secretary, James W. Munn of the Klkhorn, and after reducing the secretary’s salary 10 a small pittance procecded - to rrange the manner of voting under a decision of Chairman Caldwell of the Western 1’assenger assoc ia- tion, who apportioncd the votes as follows: Northwestern, Burlington, Rock Island, 1; Missouri Pacific, Milwaukee, 1. Tu giving threc votes to the Northwestern the chairman held that tho 0, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha_and the Northwestern were each entitled to one vote, while the threo votes for the Burlington included the B. & M. in Nebraska, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the K: s City, St Joe & Council Blufts. The Milwaukee und Rock Istand serious! object to tls unfair arfangement aud it.is understood will protest against the nction of Mr. Caldwell in deciaing upon matters which goucern the local agreement entively. Mr. Charles Kennedy. gencral northwest ern passenger agent of the Rock Island, pro- tested vigorously against the mjustice, stat- ing that under the arrangement his road could be muleted in damages for circum- stautial irregularities by the combina- vion of the Elknorn and Burlington, of the Rock \ Island, for business. He regarded = the cement of little value, as the We | gz ociation was fully capable of righting any wrongs that_mighi be done in the payment of commissions or cutting rates. fle said e didn’t propose to submit 10 such un infamous injustice and would bring thematter vefore bis general passenger agent for correction “Mr. Caldwell has Jooked through the rose-colored spectacles Western Passenger ussociation,” tinued, “and has, therefore, not grasped the situation us vresented from a local stand- point. e has pluced a club in the hands of tiese rouds Lhiat might be used with fatal results were the systems so inelined, Upon its face there has been the grossest favorie- ism shown the settlement of this que: tion and i don't propose to stand it.’ Mr. I".

Judge Dundy took the matter under ad- visement. Mr. Thurston also filed in the federal court in the receivership matter the inter- vening petition of James (3. Harris of Bo ton. He represents that at the instigation of Vice President Atkins of the Union Pa- cific, prior-to the appointment of recsivers, he, as treasurer of the road, transferred from his custody as treasurer to his custody as trustee the sum of $334.32088, set apart for the payment of coupon interest then due on the bonds of the company. He asks the court to approve this trust save with re. spect to about $40,000, to which the re ceivars object. About 830,000 of this repre- sents coupons of the Fort Worth road, now in litigation, and the balance the coupons of Kansas lines. 'The objection of the reccivers to these items is that the roads in question held _properly no bonds of the Union Pacific on which they were entitled to interest.

City Clerk Groves has just comploted his list of property of the different railroads centering in this city that is subject to tax- ation. He will submit the same to the coun- cil, sitting as a board of equalization.

The boys are saving un their voices and there will be yelling galore. Milton, the flaming rod and white bull terrier mascot, will be there in all his glory and make his presence and powers felt. Nebraska is said to be In fair condition for ahard fight. The personnel of her team is as follows: Hopewell, tho fearless and experienced center rush, will line up agaiust the giant Rogers, and although he is much inferior in weight, ho will perform his duties in his own peculidr and masterly way. Dern will play right guard. He is a very light man for that position, but he has met nobody yet who has overmatched him. Dern is a uew man. but he plays like a veteran, and by many he is called the best man i the eleven. Whipple, battle will rest with be one the Omaha boy, will play right tackle. Last year he played on the Omaha High school ecleven. He has played a re- markable game this season, and when he takes the ball it is a sure gain. Wiggin will play right cad. This is his first game, but he has had lots of practice on the second eleven, and he is & hard and sure tackle. Wilson will play left guard. He also1s a light man, but he plays low and is a hard man to move from his tracks. Oury, of last year's Omaha High school team, will play left tackle. He is a strong min and makes steady gains around the end and through the line. He will play a hard game in the prosence of his Omaha friends. Johnston, last year's captain, will hold down left end.

He will play quarter back. This is his first game, but he will astonish bis Omahs friends by his tackling and blocking. Flippin, the good natured, famous colored half back, will play with his old time force add impetuosity. He has had hard luck this season. He has been 1n bad shape every game, but plucky man that heis, he would let no injury, however serious, keep hiw out of a game. Today heis in his best shape ana he will surcly puncture holes in lowa’s stone wall line, A. E. Yout, called little Yont, is right half back. He has done most of Nebraska's ground gaining this vear, and he is a_dandy. Hecen buck the line or circle the ends with equal facility. 4. G. Yout, yelept Big Yout, is like a bull behind the line.

OMAHANS WILL OBSERVE THANKSGIVING Program of the Day—Services at the Churches—Moral Feast in the Morn- ing—Vlensures of the After- noon and Evening. Born of the tribulations of the Puritan ancestors, Thanksgiving day has come down to the modern civilization invested with a wealth of associations which lhave been largely lost sight of in the lapse of centurics. The original Thanksgiving proclamation promulgated by Governor Winthrop amid the perils of a new world meant 1ar more to the scanty dwellers on that rugged ¢ v than President Cloveland's manifesto does 10 the millions of American peoplo toduy. With the Puritans it carried with it no Joyful anticipations of feasting and reuniel It was but tho recollection of continued hardships and disaster over which but a feeble ray of light beamed from the rift in the still gathering clouds. Just emerging from a night of afliction, the Puritans hailed the fiest gloams of sunshine with geateful hearts and on bended knees returned thanks to the God who had led them safely through the darkness. Derils of war ond famine and disease had all but compassed their destruction, tut pluck and enterprise had won tho day and with the tirst Thanksgiving dawned the future of the American republic. Observance in Omaha, ‘The praiso that will ascend from human hearts tomorrow in Omaha will not cele- brate deliverance from such perils as encom- passed our forefathers, but may be none the less sincere. It will be thanks for con- tinued national prosperity, for life and health, for family circles left unbroken in the passage of the year. It is but natural that with the changes wrought by time, the usages of the day should also receive the impress of more modern times. The ancient Thanksgiving of fasting and prayer would not be a popular holiday in these later times. 1 still a day of worship, but also an occa- sion when old associations arc renewed around the festal board—when the scattered links of the family chain are welded once more together, and happy faces and buoyant hearts reflect more fitly the spirit of the day. Thankful Hearts and Fnll Stomach The Thanksgiving dinner is essentially the feature of the day. Around it cling the ten- derest associations and most joyous mem- ories. Every dish with its grateful fra- grance represents tpe care and forethought of\some member of the household. Every glass and plate upon the taole is arranged vq[l:h a tender thought for the convenicnce 6f the guest. The preparation of this dinner is the center around which the domestic life revolves for days before. The fattest turkey must be carefully selected and fat- tened to just the right degree of succulent sweetness. The mince pies must be flavored just us_tho absent members of the house- hold will like to nave them, and every detail of the repast must be perfection. Tuarkeys by the Ton. Of course tho turkey is tho central figure of the repast. It is dificult to estimate the number of turkeys that will be offered up on the altar of Thanksgiving in Omaha this year, but a conservative guess would put the number at not less than 10,000. The average weight is about ten pounds, so fifty tons of wuriceys will congest the digestive organs of Omaha epicures tomorrow. Tons of these birds arrived in the various commission houses yesterday and many more vrill come today. ~Most of them _are shipped in from central and eastern Nebraska, where they aro fattened especially for the Thanksgiving market. Prices are 124 to 15 cents for the choice turkeys, but it is safe o say that by wnight a good turkey can be purchased for 10 cents, Cranberries of the best variety may be had at 10 ceuts per quart, while the other accessorics of the dinner will vary with the means of the purcha: Chickens are 8 to 10 cents, ducks 12!7 cents and goase 10 cents. Venison steak is 25 cents per vound and 'possoms are iu the murket at an even dollar each, Fowl Play Every Year, Probably not one in twenty of those who will assist jn demolishing these turkeys tomorrow have any idea how they are pre- pared for the market. This has become n fine art, and the process of plucking must be performed just so or much of the attrac. tion of the naked bird is lost. First the turkey is hung up by the feet. An incision is made in the roof of the mouth, and the feathers are plucked while he bleeds. Care must be taken not to tear the skin, and the plucking process is supposed 10 be com- pleted Dbefore the bird is dead. Then the throat is cut to hasten death, afier which the fowl is pluuged into water which is heated to nearly the boiling point. Before the flesi has had time to cool it is dashed into cold water, and then the fowl presents the fat juicy appearance thatmakes it at- wactive on the market.

Sty ASHORE OFF FIRE INLAND, Fourmasted Schooner in a Dangerous Posi- ton In n Henvy Surf, NEw York, Nov. 29.—A report reached this city this morning from Fire island that a ship went ashore last night off Smith volnt, opposite Belle point. It turns out the vessel was & fourmastod topsail schooner. She has a crew of nine men and women who are clinging to the rigeing. The life saving people have tried to reach her, but failed, owing to life lines not reach- ing the vessel and the surf is now so heavy that they are unable to go off in their boats. The vessel is four feet under water. Loan Hill station says that if the wreck age boat Merritt, absent down the const, was there, they could get them off. As 1t is it 1s doubtful if they will be able to get off before night on accountof the heavy surf runuing. The name of the ship ashore at Smith's point is the Louis H. Randall, Captain Haw- thorne, from Boston, November 15, and Hyanuis, November 20, for Coldport. The wreckiog steamer 1. J. Mermtt has gone to Smith's point to render assistance to the schooner ashore at that point, The crow is still in the rig, All on Board Periahed Swame Scorr, Mass., Nov. 22.—An un. known twomastod schooner foundered in deep water two and a half miles off here this afternoon. The wind was blowing o gale in shore at the time and the vessel completely disappeared from sight. No trace of the vessel could be discoyored. She was first sighted off Kehoe's fish market through a glass and a large number of horror-stricken spectators saw the flual act in the tragedy. A hifeboat from the Humane socoty's stavion has put off to the scene in the hope of rescuing some of the vessel's crew if uny remain above water. The lifoboat which put out to the scene has returned and reported having found a small boat bottom side up containing a coat ana hat. In the pocket of thecoat wasa card upon which was printed the name of “C. Hints, Bangor, Me." This was the only traca of tho ill-fated,schooner that could be found. The man who watched her us she went down reports having soen somo four or #ive people on board a moment before she was engulfed, and among them there ap- peared 10 be fluttering of the skirts of a woman. The unknown vessel is supposed to bo a coaster. The cause of disaster is attributed to a squall which struck her, ne u few moments before she seemed to suddenly careen 1o portand wentdown with a mighty swirl. —_—— PERSONAL PARA P>, W.
