Five Receivers' peace, of Evans is the Thorn, aus, ex-governor of Colorado, who projected the Denver & Gulf, is responsible for the flvst outbroak against the policy of the Union Pacific in asking for a receiver for his pet railroad project. There has been a prowing fecling in Denver railroad circles that the Union Pacific was not playing fair with the company it operates under closo traflic axreement, particularly in removing all the oftices of the Denver & Gulf company o Omaha The agreement between the Union Pacific and Denver & Gulf provides among other things that the new corporation then proposed to be formed should always be operated in its own intercst that an interchango of business should be had from and to all points on the railways of W, the Union Pacific Railway compauy, to and _from all points on the railroad of said, the Union Pa- cific, Denver and Gulf Railway company, at the pro rata rate per mile, not less on the Union Pacific, Den: on the iines of the Union Pacif vy y and that said proposed ¢ od corpor tion should maintain its headquarters at Denver and maintain an independent cor- porate existence, Times Grew Hard. But the times grew hard and it was found necessary, for_the purposes of economy, to wansfer the offices from Denver to Omaha, consolidating them with the general office ot the Union Pacific. The magnificent buildivg on Larimer street, Denver, which Mr. Evans erected, in couscquence of the transfer of the offices and the letting out of most of the ofticials, became tenantless and a deep gloom settled over the Mountain City. In April of last year, at the annual ceting of the stockholders of the Denver, xas & Fort Worth, a_resolution was pre- sented by Judge E. S Wells, which was the first clarion note against the Union Pacific. After reciting the manner m which the com- pany was organized and the total disregard of the articles of agreement on the part of the Union Pacific the resolution concludes: Wherens, The officers of the said Unfon Pacific Kallway company, so controlling the Mairs of this company,’ hive disrogarded aany of the provisions of the said contract, in that, First—They have removed the principal of- fice of the company from the city of Denver, in the stato of Colarado, to the city of Omaha, In the state of Nebraska.

But the resolution was never passed, as a majority of the stock of the company in the hands of the Union Pacific people was voted solidly against it. Things wont from bad to worse eyes of the Denverites, and the bill praying for a receiver was finally drawn and pre- seuted to Judge Hallett of @i eircuit_court of Colorado by ex-Governtr John vans. The bill contains all the allegations set up in the resolutions above, except at greates leagth. This case coming on for hearng @ forinight ago, Judge Thurston represented the Unfon Pa- L citie, his brief showing that it was for the purposes of ecopomy the transter was made; that the road was in better condition than ever before, but even Judge Thurston could not nge the situation, and Friday Judge Hallett filed an opinion fayoring ex- Governor Evans, Now comes the deluge. . Eniboldenga by the success of the Denver & Gulf people in breaking away from the Union Pacifio system, it 1s not im- probable that the Oregon Railway and avigation company, controtled by the Union Pacific under lease, the considera tiou_being the vayment of interest on its bonded indebteaness, will follow the lead of Mr. Lvans and also ask for some of the loaves and fishes, should a default be made of tho interest, which is quite likely. The oftices of this company haye also been tran: ferved to Omaha, although Portland raised the biggest kind o row ut the time.

PROVING A COSTLY STRIKE Numerous Disastrous Wracks Ocourring on the Lehigh Road. ANOTHER AWFUL CRASH AT WHITE HAVEN Two Teatns Collide and tho Wreck is Fired ~Poftions of the Town Consumed in at Fotlowed— me Theories. \he Itiaze WiLkesnanng, Pa., Doc. 2.~A frightful accident occurred on the Lehigh Valley at 4o'clock this morning. A froight train brought east broke in half about a mile north of White Haven, The engineer in charge did not notice that his train was dis- connected and proceeded on his way. A flagman and brakeman were on the rear end and they made every effort to_bring the runaway cars, which were going down the grade at a rapid rate, toa stop. They had nearly succeeded when wrock engine 71 came along behind. The flagman of tho runaway train was busy putting on the brakes and was not at his post to signal trains following. The angineer of tho wreck cngine says he saw no signal shead, and, while running at the rate of thirty miles an hour, he dashed into the caboose of the runa way train, which had almost been brought to a standstill. The engine plowed its way through the caboose and four cars ahead, finally landing in tho principal strect of the town, which runs parallel with the road The caboose stove set firo to tho wreck and in a short time the flimes communicated to the dwelling houses along the sireet. Bubn's hotel, the largest in the town, was soon in a blazo. The livery stablo and grovery store next caught fire, ‘The fire de- parcment worked hard and prevented the spread of the flames, The hotel was en- tirely destroyed, as was also the livery stablo and grocery store, Loss estimated at $21,000, d It 18 fearod that two or thres mon are buricd in the wreckage which is being cleared up as fast as possible. The flagman of the train has rot been scen sinco the ccident. This is the most disastrous wreek that has occurred since the strike began. After all the troublenwas thought to bo over the fire started again and the loss, it is now believed, will reach £30,000. Five Lehigh Wrecks Yesterday., Non-union engineers in the employ of the Tehigh were the cause of no less than five disastrous wrecks on that road yesterday in which two brakemen were killed and a fire- aind conduotor seriously injured. Nine engineers from Chicago arrived last night. They wera supplied with good refer- ences and will be given places av once. The company is investigating a charge against_some of the nonunion men now at work. It is alleged that there are a number of men in the employ of the com- pany who are Brotherhood men in dis- guise. The men are employed as brakemen. When the train is moving up grade it is al- leged the men pull coupling pins and cause the trains to part in several pl. This has caused many accidents and fatalities. Tywenty-four men quit the service of the Lehigh last night. They demanded their , which was rofosed by the com- men have employed Attorne, the company to recover their wages. The company's officials say the. are tired of men_ who work only a féw and then demand their wages. The company.clzims to have freight and coal cars yesterday. The strikers will hold a - mass Music hall Sunday afternoon. “The wreck on the Lehigh Valley railroad this morning at White Haven cost it £60,000, and if it is compelicd to pay for the property destroyed by fire in the town caused by vho wreck, the loss will foot up fully $70,000. A Lehigh Valley ofiicer said that the wreck was the most disastrovs in the history of the company since the Mud Run catastrophe 1 October, 1858, when sixty- eight lives were lost. Manager Voorhees' Statement. PritaneLria, Dee. ieneral Manager s of the Lohigh Valley railway made statcment tonight in reference to the White Haven wreck: *The accident this morning was caused by strikers pulling pins on freight trains which stopped in front of the station. The engineer made several attempts to start the train_and each time he found it broken in fresh places. There was so much delay resulting in this that before the train got away the train following it ran in to it and caused the collision. Lver since the strike began those of the who live at White Haven have been active in all manner of malicious mischief. “1t is idle for any pers this act and numerous othér instances of obstruc 10 our traius have not been caused by strik- crs, for the reason thai in every case where crowds have congregated or where arrests have been made for assaults a large propor- tion of those have been strikers.” ¥s It is Incompetency. PrimapeLriia, Dee. 2. —Chairman E. Clark, when asked tonighv what he knew of the White Haven wreck and its cause, said: “That wreck and the other unfortunate and deplorable ones that have _recently ocenrred on the Lehigh Valley road are sim- ply the result of either carclessness, negli- gence or incompetency of its men. It is simple 1mpossibility for a train to run into another if the approaching train is properly flagged. *Mr, Voorhees states the White Haven accident was caused by strikers uncoupling the car: What grounds are there for this statement? “If Mr. Voorhees made such an accusa: tion he has done so without reason. ue has no right to make such a swe statement unl Le has actual proof and can produce it, in which case he has re- course to the law and should nothesitate to bring proper action.

Easto, Pa., Dec. 2. A costly wreck oc- surred early this morning on the Lehign Valley road at this place in which two en- gines and Prosident Wilbur's combination car, the *Dorothy,” were completely dis- apled. Engine No. 192 going east overtook a coal train, loaded at Green's bridge, two and one-half miles from nere. The crash was inevitable. The enginear reversed his en- gineand be and the fireman jumped and saved their lives, The engine then started backwards at a terrific rate of speed and at Stockton’s station, Phillipsburg, erashed into the “Dorothy,” the crew of which jumped when they saw the runaway engine. The 192,being the heaviest of the two locomotives, succeeded in pushing the “Dorothy” back a distance of two miles, to the Abbot strect crossing, South Easton, where they collided with engine 41, drawing an eastbound coal train, Railroad men say that the engines came past Easton station at a rate of fully forty- Tive miles an hour. The wreckage is strewn along the track for a greav distance, Strange to say, none of the engines left the track. The crew of engine 192 has not been found. Orderiy und Quiet. WiLkespARRE, Dec. 2.—J. Scomin, ex-rail- road commissioner of Towa, 18 in town. He has issued an address which will be pub- lished in local papers tomorrow. Among other things, he says of the Lehigh strikers: “A more orderly and circumspect body of wen it has not been my lot to meet. Not even the breath of these men betrays the use of whisky. No acts of lawlessness or violence inthe smallest degreeare counte- nanced. In fact, some of these verymen have acted voluntarily as police oficers to protect the property of the company they have so long workea for and so faithfully.” Nushville switchmen Strike. S1.

The men are guarded by the sherif's deputies. At Hackett's the strikers were inclined to make a_domonstration, but the presence of - the officers had restraming effect. The break today was the first weak- cning of the miners, and the operators be- lievo it presages an carly victory. The strikers will be notificd on Monday to v cate, and if a settlement is nat reached at | Tuesday’s convention they will be evicted This may result in trouble. The strikers paraded botween Snowden and_ Gastonville last night, headed by brass bands, but there was no breach of the peace.

Great dissatisfaction reigns in Berln and Prussia generally with the seerctary of the interior on account of his orders issued for the observance of the last three Sundays of Decenber. 1t has heen the custom of the people for centuries to make these three the chief days for the purghase ot Christmas and New Year wifts: in fact, named “Golden Days,” because money realized upon these days equaled the totsl receipts of months the The Sun- observance law empowers the sec- rotary of the interior to suepend the law at his diseretion, and he 1ssued permits for the stores to close at 7 o'clock in the evening, in- stoad of 2 o'clock in the afternoon of those days. But tho press of all shades of opinion, the tradesmen societies, the Chamber of Commerce and the committee on council of Berlin petitioned Count von Buleksurg to grant that privilege of permitting shops to be open until 10 at night, representing that the very existence of large numbers of peo- ple depends on the sales thoy make on thesa “Golden Sundays.” So far no reply has been received, and the socialists claim a pel tence in this refusal will drive 5,000 addi- tional voters of Berlin into the ranks of tho ederalist party.

Such objects, the Hamburger Nachvichten continue well worth astruggle to obtain, but they ought not to have been forced to such an ex- tont until some substitute was found for the lost millions of wages, adding: “As it i they are an encroachment m the independ- enco of the workingman, which cannot fail to bring its own punishment.
