Special Detective Pianeo of the Fremont, Blkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad made a neat capturo last night. For some months the company has been losing goods from its trains and no expla tion could bo given as the cause. The scheme bas been for whoever it was who did this thieving busiess to get on the bumpers of the freight train at the street yards and break the seal of the c door before gotting in. When the train pulled out these partics would loot the earand be- tween the fair grounds and Fort Omaha throw off merchandise of ull descriptions und when tie train reached West Omaha station get off, and,coming back, pick up the goods which had been thrown off. In this way tho company has lost thou- sands of dollars worth of merchanaise. Last sight Dotective Pineo came down to the Grace sireet yards and made a search of the placo. Freight No. 3 was made up and ready to leave on time—10 o'clock. Pinnco noticed a man mount the bumpers, and to all appearances he was just stealing a ride. The detective got on a couple of cars away from where the man was scon to get on. . When the train reached Omaha Heights Pinneo noticed packages of all sorts being thrown from the train. He ran over the top of the cars and caughta man in the act of throwing off a butt of to- bacco. Pinneo placed him under avrest and about 11:30 he was brought to the central station.

EASTERN COMMITTEE 1S MOVING SLOWLY Formal Proposition of the Transcontinental Lines Latd Before the Body Yestorday, Subject to Indefinite Dellberation Prior to Adjustment. Ciicaco, Jan, 19.—[Special Telegram to Tu Bee.|—~The committee of general pas- senger agents reprosenting the transcone tinental lines, composed of MeNeillof the shurg of the Southern Northern Pacific, Whit- ney of the Great Northern and Lomax of tho Union Pacific met in conference with stern committee of the Western Passenver assocfation in the Rookery this morning < Thae transcontinental representatives made known the agreoment as alrendy pub- lisiied, by which the Great Northern and Northern Pacific are hercafter to quote cven rates to north Pacitic coast, Puget Sound and California points. They next recommended for the consider- ation of the Western Passenger association the differentials agrced upon by the north- en lines from St. Paul to San Francisco via Victoria ana ocean, namely, 0 on first- class tickets and #5 on second class tickets. In this recommendation the Union Pacific Joined. Pacitic, Feeof tho Rates Propose: Then they asked tho western roads to establish a rate of &5 first class and $47.50 second class from Chicago vin St. Paul, and ocean to San Francisco. The nt rate from the Missouri river and St. be und is §50 first <5 arnd §15 second class, scussion t followed the quostion was at once raised by one of the eastern committee as to how much would be_conceded to the west- ern roads in the divisions that such an arrangement would necessitate. After all threa proposals had been stated and discussed the transcoutinental commit- teo withdrew and during the entire afte noon the eastern committee was in session, considering the question in its various phases. The committeo arrived at no agreement, and is not yet prepared to give transcontinental peopie an answer. Want Several Things Settled. The transcontinental lines have consumed u great deal of timo in reaching their pres- ent position, and it is now certain that West- crn Passenger association roads will ask not only a reasonable time for covnsidering the matter, but will also +insist on the satisfa tory adjustment of several griovances relat- ing to the payment of commisslons, demor- alized round trip rates, ete., before they ratify the transcontinental agreement. Furthermore, the feeling scems to be that thoy are not willing to ratify highor dif- ferentials via Victoria and ocean to San Francisco than £ first class and 82 50 second class. They will asi that certain rates be tendered them by the northern lines for basimg purposes before bringing the ques- tion to a conclusion. The whole question will go before the gen- eral assocration and be fully canvassed be- fore a final answer is given. - COLORADO EASTHOUND RATES, Thelr Demoralization Threatened—Eforts to Arrange Matters. KANsAS Crty, Jan. 19.—A general demoral- ization of the Colorado east bound rates is threatened and Secretary McCullough ofthe transmissouri passenger committee today iscued a call to the general passenger agents of the lines intercsied to mect in Kansas City Monday in order to adjust affairs be- fore they huve gone too far., Colorado rates have been somewhat trou- blesome for some ‘Time. the action of one or two of the transcontinental lines in with- drawing from the ussociation has made iv very difficult to adjust consequent differ- cuces, Lor several weeks past it has been known that the brokers of Denver have praciically been making the rate to cer tam Missouri river points, aud there is danger that Denver agents may meey the reduction over their counters if something is mot done to rectify the matte According to present rate shects, tho rate from Colorado common points’ to St. Joseph, for example, is the same via Kansas City as vhe ratd is to Kun- sas City. This fact seems to have been so well advertised by the Denver brokers that many ticker purchasers have gone to the broKers for their Kausas City tickets, know- ing that they could get a_reduction equal to a part of the coupon reading from Kansas City to St. Joseph, which coupon could be disposed of at Kunsas City. What applies to St. Joseph applies also to intermediate points, and other points similarly related to Kansas City. “There are also some entanglements result- ing from the operation of the California Mid- winter tes, which the general passen- zeragents will bé called upon to unravel, It is expected that both Chairman Cald- well of the Western Passenger ussociation and Chairman Fiynn of the Colorado and Utah committee will be present at Monday's meeting. TO ORGANIZE A POOL. Rallroads Mov! to Better Regulate Pas- songer Kutes. Cureaao, Jan, 19.—Thero is some talk of the organization of a passonger pool which is to have control of all business between the Allegheny and Rocky mountains. The | western roads will take the initiative m the matter and endeayor to secure the co-opera- tion of castern connections. The princi object in forming the pool will be to do away with demoralization in rates which usually follow in the wake of the choap taviff mado for lavge conventions and important meet- ings of all kinds. The railroads cluim they lose every year hundreds of thousands of dol- lars in this way. Theorganization may take the form of a passenger pool, but the scheme is not sudiciently developed 'for this to be certain Has Mo Vidonds, Cuicago, Jan. otwithstanding a heavy falling off in gross earniugs, the Chi cago & Northwestern road has got more money for five months operations, ending November 30, to_devote to the payment of dividends than it had from its tafie for o like period in 1502, This result been brought about by the management of tho road. The November gross receipts de- creused §448,801, but the balance remaining for dividonds, after all charges of all kinds were paid, was only $17,055 less than in 1802 Gross eavnings for December decreased #500,000 and net earnings £500,000.

UNION PACIFIO ACCOUNTS MIXED, Court Orders that Leavenword Topeka & Southern Business Be Separated. Following the lead of the Orogon Railway & Navigation company in asking that a sop- arate account be kept on the part of tho Union Pacifio systom, tho Leavenworgh, To- puthwestern has also boen granted a scparste account by Judge ,Dundy, but upon totally different grounds. The Leaven- worth, Topeka & Southwestern extends from Leavenworth, Kan., to Meridan Junction, adistance of some forty-six miles wholly within the state of Kansas, This voad. op- erated by the Sante Fe, in Judge Dundy's opinion did not come within the operation or control of the recoivers, and not desiring to make his agents responsible for moneys and rolling stock over which they had no control, issued the order granting the Leavenworth, Topeka & Southwestern a te account- fng. The road has hardly paid operating ex- penses, and has been a weight of considera- ble proportions upoi tiie Union Pacific, as in the case of the Gulf system . But the changes ordered by the court in the manner of keeping accounts are a source of constant worriment to the auditing de- partment, although thoroughly 1nformed as to the necessitics of each of the cases where- in separate accounts have been announced. When the order came for_a separation of the Oregon Railway & Navigation com- pany's account the svstem of keeping the accounts was changed from the “invoice” plan to the “bill’” manner, dealing_with all matters originating on the Union Pacitic for the Oregon Railway & Navigation company as if intended for a_foreign corporation, as the Burlington, in the matter of repairs to cars and other festures which constantly occur on & big rail- road system. The embarrassments in the accounts are clearly descernible when 1t 18 recalled_that prior to October 13, when the Union Pacific_passed into the hands of the receivers, the “invoice” feature ob- tawed, which is_exceedingly simple as com- pared to the “bill” manner with voucher attachment, which followed immediately after the appointment of receivers by Judge Dundy. The accounts under these civcum- stances are decidedly mixed and, in the language of one of the men in the auditor’s ofee, “we do not know where we are at.” Yestérday Mr. Young hept the wires hot be- tween Omaha and Boston over the complica- tions that are constantly occurring under the “bill" system, and he nsked Mr. Mink to issue a supplemental order changing back to the “invoice” plan, a circular to that etfect having been practically agreed upon. SIGNED THE CONCESSION, President Dinz Helps Forward the Inter- oceanle Rallway Project. City o MExico, Jan. 19.—President Diaz has signod the concession for tho comple- tion of the cxtension of the interoceanio railway from the town of Matamoras, in the state of Pueblo, to Aculpico, on the west of Mexico. The new concession goes under the namo of the Tzuca railway and the concessionaire is Senor Javies Algiera. The monc the completion of this road was rocently secured in London. and it is expected that work on its completion will be pushed. ' Its comple- tion will soon make of Aculpico one of the best ports in the west. Salvation is Nou Freo, A gentleman, well known in railroad cir- cles, just returned from Denver, speaking to a representative of Tue Beg regarding the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf situation said: “There is a growing belief in the Queen City that Mr. Teumbuli, receiver for the road, will not be able to work out anywhere near the salvation of the system he so fondly anticipates and that before June comes it will be back in the Uuion Pacific fold, very penitent for ®ver having strayed away. There are so many contingencies to be taken into comsideration that the Denver people, pavticularly railroad men,are a commencing to doubt Mr. ‘I'rumbull’s ability to manipulate the road so that it will meet its fixed charges when they fall due. Of course he will be given the faivest kind of show, but as has been well said, you can't et blood out of a stone no matter how hard you may press it. “Mr. Trumbull is also having considerable difficulty in finding just the right men for the important positions, the declination of Mr. Deuel to sever his connection with the Union Pacific for the general superintend- ency being an unexpeeted blow. There pre a number of men suggested for the pldce, but Mr. Trumbull has lately been in the habit of surprising his friends regarding appointments, and a well known railrond man from an eastern line 1s thought to be slated for the plac ‘Will Pay the (nterest When Due, New York, Jan. 19.—The directors of the Missourl, Konsas & Texas Railroad com- pany have decided to pay the interest dus on February 1 on their second mortgage bonds.

DOLLARS DOWN Bat Masterson Insists on Cutting Any String the Duval Olulf H4d on the Purse, —erar ADMIT THAT THE 'AFFAIR IS A FROST Subseribers to the Purse Are Making n Great Hustlo fo Get Even on the Few Rod Hits Who Are ou the Ground. JACKSONVILLE, Jan, 10.—There is much trouble in the Mitchell camp over the way the purse has been fixod by the Daval club peoplo. The Englishman thinks the club has a string tied to the §20,000, and that it s the intention to draw it back just as it comes into the hands of the fighters. Bat Masterson, Mitchell's friend and adviser, came to Jacksonville today and had a red- hot time with Bowden ¢f the Duval club, Masterson insisted that the endorsement on the check should be so altered that Reforee Kelly could convert it into money or turn it to his personal account before he left for tho battle ground. He insisted the club should declare tho match a contest the moment the men toud the scratch. This would prevent any action by the club, such as having the battle stopped by the sheriff or his deputies after a few rounds had been fought, calliug it no contest, and reverting the purse to the club again. The club agreed to his proposition and matters were satis- factorily arranged. 'ws When He Has Enough. en was asked tonight to give a purse of #10,000 for i battle between Dan Creedon and Bob Fitzsimmons, The proposition was refused quicker thun it was made.

The sports are arrivine from Now York and tae north- east in small detachments, and thero is every waication vhat the crowd in attend- ance next Thursday will be a small one. The fact that no tickets are to be sold for less than $25, with a not remote possivility that %50 will bo charged, hus had a deterrent effect, which is aiready notic able. The club today reiterated the ta that %0 will be the price if there are less than 1,000 and §25 if more than 1,000. Gen- eral alarm has been aroused along the line, not alone by the sports, but by the hotels, transportation companies and merchants who subscribed to the fight sclieme, WARM.
