THE OMAHA DAILY IBEE: TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1804, WNEILL 1S NADE RECEIVER Takes Oharge of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company's Lines, WHO WIS SUBORDINATES WILL BE Flood Loss on Oregon Branch Not So Great an at First Supposed—Itinorary of the Next Commerciai Club Excur- slon—Rallway Notes. In the United States cireuit court for the Ninth ecireuit District Judge Bellinger yes- terday granted an application for the ap- pointment of a separate recelver for the Ore- gon Rallway & Navigation company, and named Bdwin McNeil, general manager of the lowa Central raflroad and one of the directors of the corporation, recelver This appointment is In line with the information exclusively published in The Bee several weeks ago. Mr. McNeil, who I8 now in Portland, will at once enter upon the duties of his office. The Oregon Railway & Navigation com- pany, including the Oregon Short Line, com- prises 2,017 miles of rail and water lines and has been a very important Union Pacific fac- tor, allowing that system to enter Portland and the sound country. The Oregon Rallway & Navigation company extends from Huntington to Portland, a dis- tance of 404 miles, Willow Junction to Heppner, 45 miles; LaGrande to Elgin, 20 miles; East Portland to Albina 1 mile; Lowel cade to Upper Cascade, 6 miles; Umatilla to Washington, 201 miles; Farming- ton to Spokane, 60 miles; Pendleton to Walla Walla, 47 miles; Harbuck to Pomeroy, 29 miles; LaCo Colfax to Moscow, 23 mile o Dixie and Dudley, 13 miles; Winona to Seltice, 47 miles; Tekoa to Mullan, 86 miles; Wallace to Burke, 6 miles, with 9 of water lines. It is now asserted that J. P. O'Bricn, general superintendent of the Jlowa Central, will have charge of the operating department of the Oregon Railway & Navigation com- pany, and that a number of employes of the Union Pacific will be given responsible positions with the Oregon company, Mr. McNell having expressed a desire to take care of as many Union Pacific men as pos- sible, although the -auditing department will 'probably be run with a less force than when the road was formerly an inde- pendent company before its amalgamation with the Union Pacific. A. Gavin, chief division clerk in Mr. Southard’s department, auditor of passenger acoounts, has accepted the position of chief clork of passenger acounts with the Oregon Railway & Navigation company when that road breaks away from the Union Pacific. Mr. Gavin is one of the oldest of the Union Pacific employes, and has been with the road quite ten yeors. In fact, he has seen all the roads that now make up the great system come into the fold, and he sees them now breaking away. = J. B. Living- ston, chief clerk under A. J. Van Kuran, freight auditor, has accepted the position of chief clerk of frelght accounts under Mr. Benson, who will be the auditor of the Oregon company. Mr. Livingston is al:o an old timer on the Union Pacific, having been chief clerk in Mr. Van Kuran's de- partment for seven years, previous to which he was for many years a traveling auditor on the Kansas and Colorado divisions of the Union Pacific. A to the order having been given that all rolling stock belonging to the Union Pacific should be sent east from Portland, Mr. Orr, private secretary to the reccivers, said that he could not vouch for the correctness of the rumor. Such would be done_ naturally in the event that the Oregon Railway & Navigation company recelve a separate re- ceiver. He stated that the Oregon company would have quite an equipment to begin business, but could not specify the number of engines or cars without going to consider- able trouble. The application was made by the Farmers Loan and Trust company of New York, who recite that they hold in trust bonds amount- ing to $4,835,000, interest on which, due in December, 1893, has not been paid. The complaint states that the complain- ant Is informed and belicves the Oregon Rallway and Navigation company is in- solvent and wholly unable to pay its debts or obligations; that the property and prem- ises covered by mortgage constitute very in- equate securities for the payment of the amounts due on the said bonds. In consequence of the embarrassed condi- tlon of the financial affairs of the Orcgon Railway and Navigation company, the com- plainant charges that the rights of all par- ties interested cannot be fully protected otherwlse than by the judicial sale of the property covered by the mortgage and this is necessary, and asks that this property and its appurtenances be placed under the control of a receiver. Edward McNeill's bonds were fixed at $100,- 000, which will be furnished within a few days, when Mr. McNelll will take charge. ot the road. RAILROAD CAUGHT NAPP! Chicago Great Western Mises It by Not Attending a Mecting. CHICAGO, June 25.—The Chicago Great Western road has been beaten In its fight to have short line rates to points west of St. Paul apply through Kansas City on the basis of Sioux City rates. The chairman of the Western Passenger assoclation ruled that the Chicago Great Western had a right to make use of such short line rates, but at a meeting of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Rate Sheet association, at which the Chicago Great Western, through an accident, was not present, it was declded to Issue the rate sheet without showing the rates in it. The Chicago Great Western, when it discovered what had been done, asked a ruling from the chairman of the Western Passenger asso- clation finding the Issue of the rate sheet unauthorized. The chalrman has dismissed this demand on the ground that the Chicago Great Western should have been at the meet- ing in question. That road will make the rate claimed, irrespective of whether it ap- pears in the rate sheet or not. Present relations between the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific, 50 far as passcnger business is concerned, will continue in statu quo pending the decision of President C. P, Huntington of the latter coinpany on a proposition submitted by President J. W. Reinhart of the former for the settlement of the matters in dispute between the two companies in response to the claim of the right of the Santa Fe to apply short line rates to San Francisco via Barstow and Los Angeles. Columbia River Receding. A party of Union Pacific officials made a trip up the Columbla river last week In the steamboat T. J. Potter, and the result of that trip has been received at Union Pacific headquarters with a general statement of the damage done by the high water. The water has receded sufficiently to leave the Union Pacific tracks exposed along the shore, and they are In seeming good condition for being under water so long. Between Port- land and Bouneville there are only a few filled-in bridges out, the ballasted track be- ing In fair shape and has been saved along the riverside by bags of sand placed as barricade at short intervals. No serious Jandslides are to be seen, although in some laces the track ‘has completely disap- ared and entirely new roadbed and tracks will have to be bullt at some places be- tween Umatilla and Portland to connect he tracks that have withstood the encroach- ents of the river. Superintendent Bax- ter, who was with the party, says that the road between Bonneville and Portland can be entirely repaired in three weeks. In the vicioity of The Dalles nearly 700 men are at work blasting the sides of the moun- talns for a new roadbed, and the work of reconstruction will be pushed rapldly to completion. It is the beliet of the officlals that the @amage done by the recent high waters will uot amount to s0 much money as at first supposed, although it will run high into the hundreds of thousands The Northern Pacific has resumed travel from Portland, and is running through trains from that city to the east without change. Aunother Commercial Club Train. General Manager Doddridge has been asked by Assistant General Frelght and Passenger Agent Phillippi of the Missouri Paci prrange @ special traln for the Commerclal | club of this city, leaving Omaha Thursday morning and after making many stops re- turn Friday night. Mr. Doddridge at 2 o'clock telegraphed Mr. Phillippi that the train would be provided for the Omaha job- bers and others who desired to join the party. The itinerary will be as follows Leaving Thursday 7 a. m. by way of the Plattsmouth line, the first stop will be at Murray for ten minutes; ten minutes at Unfon; one and one-half hours at Nebraska City; ten minutes at Paul, fifteen minutes at Ju- llan; taking dinner at Auburn, using about two hours; stopping thirty minutes at Howe, and thirty minutes at Stella; also thirty min- utes at Verdon, arriving at Falls City before 6 o'clock p. m. Returning, leave Falls City 6 a. m., running direct to Auburn; stopping ten minutes at Glen Rock and fifteen min- utes at Brock; thirty minutes at Talmage and about fifteen minutes at each station between Talmage and Crete; take dinner at Crete, and leaving there about 2 o'clock by way of B. & M. to Lincoln; leaving Lincoln about 3 o'clock, stipping fifteen minutes at all stations (except Walton) between Lincoln and Weeping Water; thirty minutes at Weep- ing Water; from Weeping Water thence to Dunbar, stopping fifteen minutes at each sta- tion; from Dunbar direct to Omaha. Raillway Notes. B. H. Payne, assistant general p agent of the Unfon Pacific, is in St. 1 The Burlington hauled Sunday people to Burlington beach, Lincoln, Grand Island and Columbus lines. J. A. Munroe, freight trafic manager of the Union Pacific, left for Chicago last even- ing, as did J. O. Phillippi of the Missouri Pacific. The Union Pacific brought In on its Nor- folk trains nearly 1,200 people to the beach, but the absence of farmers on the train was particularly roticed, townspeople forming the bulk of the excursionists. A washout on the Crete Missouri Pacific, between Sprague, Sunday prevented Pacific from running Its excursion train from Crete to Courtland beach. It is the intention, however, of the company to try it again next Sunday. =4S Balloon nightly at 8. Courtland, oS Sy T SHOW ON 1,000 from branch of the Hickman and the Missouri THE BIGG EARTIH.

Patrons of the Omaha public library who neglected to obtain a supply of literature suf- ficient to carry them through the present week will have to restrain their thirst for intellectual pursuits until next Saturday and possibly next Monday. The library is on the move. Early yesterday morning the doors of the rooms in the Pexton bluck were closed and a placard informed the public that no books would be exchanged until next Satur- ay. Then the young ladics who have charge of the numerous thousands of volumes com- menced to take them out of their cases and pack them in boxes. The s themselves had to be lowered from the third story windows with a block and tackle, as there was no other way of getting thém out of the building, owing to their immense size, In order to avoid confusion and to prevent an unnecessary delay in reopening the li- brary to the public, the work of removing the books is entrusted to the regular force of library assistants alone. No one else Is allowed to handle a book until it is deposited in the packing case to which it belongs. Then the packing cases are transported to the new bullding, the case placed in its des- ignated position and the books put in their original places. By this method the work of removing the library is carried forward with systematic expedition and no confusion is likely to result. When the removal is a finished fact the doors of the library will be again thrown open and the public will be served with its favorite books with the for- mer facility. When the library is finally deposited in its permanent home there will exist the neces- sity for at least two additional assistants upon the working force. The new assist- ants will not be selected until the librarian, Miss Jessie Allen, returns from Colorado, which will be within a short time, It is then proposed to establish a library train- ing school In connection with the library, where parties who desire to become ‘orofes slonal librarians may obtain the knowledge n ary for success. Applicants for posi- tions in" the Omaha public library will be required to serve six months in the train- ing school without pay before they will be admitted to the regular working force, The library now consists of between 40,000 and 50,000 volumes, and the acting librarian stated yesterday that the total number would be nearer the latter figure. All the books will be placed on the first floor, together with the offices and the large reference room. As the library grows and more room be- comes necessary, the offices will be carried upstairs. The building has a capacity for at least 200,000 volumes, but the friends of the library are enthusiastic enough to be- lieve that the time will come hefore many years when the additional ground to the south of the new building will have to be utilized. The Byron Reed collection of hooks, colns, rare manuscripts and pietures will be placed on the second floor with the reading room. The Reed collection will not be ready for the public untll some time in the fall, as preparatlons for its proper care have not yet been made. The books donated to the library by Mr. Reed number about 5000, many of them being rare works and still many others first editions of great works which are rapldly fncreasing in value. But it is ulon the valuable collection of coins ‘bresented to the library, and known all over the United States as the Reed collectlon, that the library 1s to be congratulated. This collection 1s by universal consent awarded the first place among all the collections in this country. e Just Oue-Half, the regular fare will be charged 4th of July excursionists on Unlon Pacific lines.

PLAN ADOPTED TO CURTAIL EXPENSES Each Fireman Must Take His Turn at Doing Thirty Days' Work for Ten Days' Pay—Eqaivalent to Lar, Cut In Wages. To curtall the expenses of the fire depart- ment, on account of a deficiency in the fund, with the least possible impairment of the efficlency of the department, has been a puzzling problem to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. It recently presented two propositions to the members of the de- partment for them to vote upon in order to see how the men felt about the matter. These propositions were that either the force or wages be reduced 20 per cent for the next seven months, beginning with the 1st of June. The result of this vote was announced last night as follows: Those in favor of reducing the number of men, 64; In favor of reducing wages, 4; not voting 23. Some of the firemen who voted to reduce the force instead of wages explained that they did 50 in hope that the commissioners would clean out some of the men who seem to think that a fireman’s chief duties ar> to sit around the engine house, look pretty and draw pay regularly, and when a disagreeable fire occurs shirk unpleasant and dangerous dutles. But the firemen liked neither propo- sition very well, and last night they pre- sented a petition to the board signed by eighty-six out of ninety-six members, as follows: That each member of tho fire de- partment take a leave of absence of twenty days without pay, and if necessary then for further retrenchment to take an addi- tional leave, sald leaves to be given at the discretion of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, and that the chief of the department be not included in this propo- sition. This proposition met with favor from all the commissioners and resulted in the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That owing to the lack of funds to maintain the present force, thirty men of the fire department be laid off duty without pay each month until further o ders from the board, for twenty days eac provided, however, that the men in the de- partment be permitted to sleep at their engine houses, and, provided further, that none of the 'men laid off leave the city without special permit from the board and that such men answer all fire alarme when they are within hearing, and that a failure to do o shall be cause for dismissal with- out formal trial; and provided further, that such men shall’ be under the same rules and subject to the same discipline as those not laid off; provided further, that the chief, assistant chiefs, superintendents of fire and police alarm’ systems, engineers and stokers be not laid off, but suffer a re- duction in pay, so that such reduction ip pay shall prorate with the reductions in the pay of the other members of the de- partment; provided further, that the com- mittee on men and discipline and the chief of the fire department determine the men to be laid off each month. After the passage of the resolution some of the firemen made the comment that in effect the action taken was simply equiva- lent to a reduction in pay, the wording of the resolution making the lay oft only nominal. Charles Kleyla preferred charges against Officer Prescott to the effect that the officer went into the complainant’s yard without due authority and shot his dog, which was tied up. The officer will be given a trial at_the next regular meeting. The secretary of the Policemen's Benevo- lent association Informed the board that the gross receipts from the recent picnic at Blair were $1,788.75, The Board of Educa- tion tendered a vote of thanks to the com- missioners for the efficient fire and poli protection furnished on the occasion of the recent school children’s concert at the Fif- teenth Street theater. Josiah Thomas, George W. Barnes, Peter Jorgensen, John Leary, Henry Heitfield, Ruffus Chamberlin and Henry Christiansen were appointed on the regular police force and their appointment dates from July 1. Ex-Detective Vaughn was allowed five days’ pay for the time which he was entitled to as leave of absence before his dismissal from the force a short time ago. In accordance with a request from the commissioners, License Inspector Hurst sub- mitted a rpeort regarding sales of liquor in drug stores. He inspected sixty-eight drug stores and found that fifty-five of them kept a correct. record of their sales of liquor, while elght did not. Three kept no record at all and two had not taken out licenses, claiming that they sold no liquors. The board thanked the Inspector for his co-opera- tion and the information. Chief of Police Seavey, as president of the National Chiefs of Police union, presented the commissioners with a framed picture of the chiefs who were in attendance at the first annual meeting of the union held in May in St. Louis. — - The Spring Medicine. “All run down” from the weakening effects of warm weather, you need a good tonic and blood purifier like Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Dunean’s Dumping Plan Adopted—Charges Agninst Landergren Not Sustalned. The absence of Chief Seavey broke the deadlock In the Board of Health yesterday and the members who opposed the dumping of garbage Into the river were able to carry their point. The mayor made a desperate effort to find some trace of the chief of po- lice, but he had left his office early in the day and none of his subordinates had the slightest fdea whether he was in Omaha or Patagonia. The garbage question was the first matter brought up and Health Commissioner Saville offered his former recommendation that the dump be established at the foot of Daven- port street. Duncan offered a resolution to the effect that the baulers be allowed to dump at any point not less than two and three-quarters miles from the city limits, providing that the dumping should be so car- ried on as not to cohstitute a nuisance and that the written consent of the owners of the ground be obtained and filed with the board, Saville argued that Duncan's scheme was not practicable because if they dumped one or two miles out of the city limits in one direction they would be in Iowa and if they went in the other they would strike South Omaha. The mayor said that several peti- tions had been presented asking that the dumping ground be located at the foot of Poppleton avenue and asked that the matter be not acted on until the attendance of the full board could be obtained. Duncan #ade a vehement specch, in which he claimed that the garbage men had tried to bulldoze him bscause he was cr'p- pled in one arm, but he had assured them that he was still able to deliver an upper cut with his left. He p-oposxl to keep his conscience from running down at the ieels even if he had to preai the othcr arm, and called for the question. Ths resolution was carried, the mayor and Commissioner Sa- ville maintaining their former position on the negative side. The commitfee recently appointed to in- vestigate the charges against Inspector Lan- dergren to the effect that he had used threatening language to councilmen while lobbying for an additional appropriation for the Board of Health, recommended that the charges be not sustained. This brought Duncan to the front again with his con- sclence, which he averred would be ma- terially lacerated if he should vote to’ap- prove the report of the committee. He attacked the dnspector savagely, claiming that he was an habitual drunkard and unfit to occupy a position in the employment of the board. His motion to lay the report of the committee on the table found no second and the report was adopted. No further action was taken with regard to in- spectors, and after approving a number of applications for milkmen’s licenses, the board adjourned. —— California cherries and peaches 90¢ box.

NEW YORK, June 25.—How many persons were drowned by the capsizing of the tug James D. Nichol oft Sandy Hook yesterday Is not yet known. The excursionists were from all over the east side, from College Point, from Brooklyn, and even from Hobo- ken, and it is thought probable that some of those drowned will never be reported or heard from again. The disaster is ren- dered more harrowing by the fact that most of the men were married and leave large families. The highest estimates in last night's dis- patches were probably within the mark, for today It is thought tha not less than thirty-six perished. So far, however, only seven bodies have been recovered. Those identified are: FRANK DUNN. HERMAN EVARD. KEYSER. THOMAS MASSEN WALTER BUCKRIDGE. The two last named lived in Brooklyn; the others in New York. Among the missing are the following, all of New York: Frank McAleer, William Moore, Albert Pabst, Frederick Vohling, Solomon Griesman, Christlan Zahn, Charles Burkhart, Henry Bishop, Frederick Fay, Edward Fay, John Fisher, Samuel Gutner, J, Higgins, James Hayes, Jacob Hebrauck, Joseph Hebrauck, Deil Horan, Louis Hochrin, Albert Ham. mond, John Kirschner, William Kirschner, William Langdon, Henry Miller, Hugh Mul. holland, Henry Peining, John Quinn, Wil- llam Schultz, Thomas Schlesinger, Willlam Truesdell, Frederick Underheit, Andrew Wessler, Charles Wettling, Emil Wolf, The pilot house of the tug has washed ashore ‘at Highland Beach, and so has a portion of the life raft. Among the wreckage washed ashore at Parkertown are two kegs of beer, Captain Hyde, captain of the ili- fated tug, was seen foday at the office of the owner of the tug. He is a young man, 25 years of age, and says that he has had a master’s license for the past four years. For the first time Captain Hyde told the story of the disaster: “You could count but fifty-elght passen. gers on the tug when she left the second stopping place at Pier 3, East river. There were five men in the crew, making sixty- three all told. “We had been lying off Seabright at anchor when the wind began to freshen. We soon raised anclior, Intending to leave. We were about three-quarters of an hour from shore. The sea, when we started, was not very heavy and hardly any spray came on board. The passengers, thinking that they might get wet, all crowded to the port side. 1 asked them ‘to divide up and part take to the starboard side, but no heed was paid to my request. The sea was somewhat choppy, but not what could be called heavy. Out- side some distance from shore it appeared much calmer than inshore. I thought if we ran out for some distance we would make better weather.~ We were in no apparent danger, except for the people crowding to the port side of the boat. 1 suddenly saw a heavy swell bearing down upon us, closely followed by a second one. I called again to the passengers to take the starboard side of the boat, but It was not done. The first sea boarded us clean over the bow and rushed aft. - The second followed closely, also boarding us over the bow and washed down the port side. This was caused by the heavy list on the boat. “When the first wave hit us I cried: ‘For God's sake get over to the other side I pulled the whistle rope then as a signal of distress and, seeing the great danger, tied it down. It kept blowing until the Nichol went down. After the boat had careened under the second swell, Al Hammond, a deck hand, and myself climbed through’ the starboard window of the pilot house and went overboard. I saw a number of people struggling in the water all around. The life raft was near the spot where the tug sank and I made for it. There were a number of pasengers on it and hanging to it, and their struggles capsized it As it went over I was struck by it and went down. When I arose to the surface I managed to grasp it again.
