An Omaha paper says: The
reduction of the time of the shop
empkoyes of the Union Pacific,
which went into operation yester
day, has given ground to the sus
picion that the design of the reorg
anized Union Pacific company will
be to reduce expenses at the first
inception of its work, and thereby
put the property on a paying basis.
This reduction is based upon the
claim that the there has been a
sudden falling" off in the business
of the road, and that the rolling
stock of the company is all in good
condition, wherefore there is no ne
cessity of keeping the shop force
at work on full time. In this claim
there is no intimation that further
reductions are contemplated, and
the officals of the road say that
fulltime work in the shops will be
resumed as "soon as the business
justifies it.

R A N K L I N
(fought Nov. 30,
18G4) was, for its
proportions," the
Krandest battle
of the war.
This is the esti
mate of the hia
torian of tho Ar
my of the Cum
berland and biog
rn nh 01 nf ifs
great command
er, Thomas B.
Van Home. Van
Home wroto his
history of the Army of the Cumberland
at the request of General Thomas from
Thomas' private journal and other doc
uments furnished by him.
In concluding his summary of Frank
lin Van Home says: "The salient fea
tures of tbi3 battle were the position
and action of tho two brigades posted
in front of tho main lino and the gal
lantry of the Third after tho enemy had
carried tho intrenchments ou Carter's
Hill. " The brigades referred to were
Conrad's, Lane's and Opdycke's, con
stituting Wagner's division of Stanley's
Fourth corps, and the trenches ou Car
ter's Hill, carried by the enemy and re
covered through the activity of Op
dycke's brigade, were in the Twenty
third corps' line. Opdycke s brigade, in
charging forward, recaptured eight guns
seized by tho Confederates m the bro
ken Twenty-third corps' line.
General Thomas said that- the battle
of Fraukliu saved Nashville and that
tho battle of Franklin itself was saved
by Opdycke's brigado of Stanley's
Fourth corps. Usiug the same course of
reasoning, General Stanley saved the
battlo of Franklin by bis activity and
firmness during the preceding 24 hours
The forces engaged at Fraukliu. the
Fourth aud Twenty-third corps, be
longed to tho army of General Thomas,
who was at Nashville. The two corps
were acting as 0110 body, and General
Schofield, commander of the Twenty
third corps, was in command. Thomas
had ordered Schofield to march 111 retro
grade before Hood's army of Confeder
ates from tho banks of the Duck river
along tho Columbia pike, past Franklin
and across tho Harpeth river at that
point, with all possible haste toward
Nashville. But Hood uearly spoiled tho
game tho evening bef'oro franklin was
fought by throwing Forrest's cavalry
and the advance of two corps of infantry
around SehoHeld's column on each flank
aud intercepting the retreat at Spring
Hill, several hours' march south of
Franklin.
Stanley and his corps had the lead of
Schofield s column, and with an energy
all too rare in the war he drove Forrest
away from Spring Hill, bluffed Hood's
corps and division commanders, and kept
tho Confederates at arms' length, while
Schofield s wagon trains and artillery
and infantry of tho Twenty-third corps
marched through under cover of the
darkness on tho retreat toward Frank
lin At daylight on the :J0th Hood
again pushed forward, and Stanley's
troops, bringing up the rear, kept the
Confederates in check all tho way tc
Franklin
Schofield had no intention of mailing
a stand at Fraukliu, hut in order to
cover the crossing of Harpeth river sta
tioned his own Twenty-third corps upon
a liue around the village from bank tc
bank on tue south sice
He did uot expect attack on tho sonth
bank, but thought that IUkhI wiiild at
tempt to pass around the flanks as he
had douo tho day brim and cut the
army off completely from Na.-hville He
took all the artillery of tho Twenty
third corps with him to the north bank
and a portion of tho Fourth corps artil
lery Ono of the three divisions of Stan
ley's corps, Wood's, was ordered by
Schofield to cross to the north bank
Stauloy, who was ill. accompanied
Wood's corps.
Tho pike along which tho army had
marched from Spring Hill bisected the
Twenty-third corps line of defense ou
tho south bank, and where it passed
through a gap was left for the move
ment of wagons aud troops. At that
point much of the Fourth corps artil
lery was massed. Wagner's division of
Stanley's corps brought up the rear aud
took position two miles in front of
Franklin. About 2:'o0 p in., finding
his flank turned by heavy columns of
tho enemy, Wagner decided to with
draw his command to a position about
a third of a mile in front of the Twenty-third
corps center that is, where
tho pike passed through the fortified
line. Opdycke's brigade passed inside
the works as reserve to the Twenty
third corps' lino ou the pike, 200 or
300 yards in rear
The interest of the battle turns upon
the action of Opdycke's brigade and of
Conrad's and Laue's at tho extreme
front The Confederate attack, when it
camo about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
was very sudden, and Wagner ordered
Conrad and Lane to fight This they
did stubboruly, checking tho advance
of the Confederates. When at last, Do
ing overwhelmed in front, their right
and left flanks turned, they did retreat,
they were followed with a rush by the
Confederates, who felt sure that Scho
field's army was in a trap and that they
would drive it into the river. Yelling,
BAKING
"Go info the works!" they swept from
tho trenches the soldiers of the Twenty
third corns on each side of tho piko and
captnred tho guns, which were under
the protection of the Twenty-tmru corps
troops. The soldiers of Conrad and Lane
reached tho works with broken ranks.
Nevertheless they had sufficient self
control to rally and take part m tjie
recovery of the line. This counter stroke
was initiated by Opdycke and his hri
gade, Stanley having been anticipated
by just so much timo as it took for him
to ride from the north bank of the river
to tho scene of danger.
There was no more brilliant episode
in the whole war than the ride of Stan
ley from the north bank of the river to
tho sceno of fighting on the eouth bank.
Ho was distant from Wagner's exposed
brigades when they began to fire upon
the advancing Confederates about one
mile. Leaping into his saddlo, he gal
loped across tho bridge, through the
ranks of tho stragglers, his face set in
tho direction of the battle. It was then
4 o'clock, and for moro. than four hours
the officers and soldiers had been aware
that the whole army was to cross to the
north bank of tho river at dark. Retreat
and not battle was in the air.
But the ball was open, and the well
known figure of Stanley was seen rush
ing to the front. Without waiting for
orders Opdycke had set his brigado in
motion to recover tho guns and parapets
abandoned to tho Confederates. Spur
ring his horse forward and striking and
shooting right and left, ho set tho ex
ample for his officers and soldiers. Two
regiments were at his heels deployed,
two were in tho second lino, and three
were in the rear line.
Just as tho column was under way
Stanley camo up upon its left flank.
Seeing that Opdycke, riding at the
head of the center of his brigade, was
charging to recover the lost works, ho
gave him no order, but rode forward
with the third line. The melee that en
sued between these seven regiments,
joined by tho stoutest hearted of Con
rad's and Lane's soldiers, and tho Con
federates was close and deadly. Prison
ers and flags wero gathered in, tho guns
recovered aud turned upon the Confed
erates, and tho works wero retaken and
held. Stanley's horso was killed under
him, and he himself, while swinging
his hat to cheer ou his men, received a
most exasperating wouud from a bullet
which ploweU a gash three inches in
length across the nape of his neck close
to the spina Ignoring this painful, not
to say dangerous, hurt, ho remained on
tho ground until the lino was reorgan
ized, Opdycke's brigade and the rallied
troops of Conrad and Lano in the recap
tured works with the guns in their pos
session, confidence restored all along the
line and victory in sight, if not already
complete.
Next to the persoual bearing of Stan
ley and Opdycke and the conduct of Op
dycko's regiments, interest centers upon
the action of tho troops under Conrad
and Lane after retiring from tho ex
treme front to tho Twenty-third corps'
breastworks.
General Opdycke, in a narrative
printed in 1881, said:
"General Stanley added his effort to rail
under a very heavy liro of musketry the scat
tered troops to the support of tho men at the
regained works;' also. "Lano had held some
of hi3 men to the works. "
Goneral Thomas' official report of
the battlo says that Stanley was "se
verely wounded while engaged in rally
ing a portion of his command."
General .1 D Cox, commanding the
Twenty-third corps, states in his offi-
GENERAL I) S. STANLEY".
cial report that Stanley arrived 011 the
scene at Carter's Hill "in timo to take
an active part in the effort to rally
Wagner's (Uourad's aud Lauo's) men:"
'The most strt'iinous efforts, "says tho Fame
document, "wero mado by nil tho officers
alone that part of tho line (tho broken line
near tho pike) to rally tiio men and were so
far succcssftal tlint tho imo was quickly re
stored on tho left of the pike. '
The works adjoiuing the pike on tho
left wero where Conrad's men crossed.
That olticer's report says that his troops
halted inside tho works and would have
rallied, but the men of tho Twentv-
third corps, stationed there, became
panic stricken and commenced to leave.
Conrad's own men then became shaky
and commenced retiring, but soon ral
lied and went back to tho works and
fought until all was over Courad com
manded six regiments. The colonels
of each of these regiments reported in
detail that their men halted, formed aud
fought at the main lino.
Colonel Lane stated in his report that
delay and confusion were caused in get
ting his men into the works by tho
abatis m front, but that five out of his
6is regiments formed quickly behind
the works and fired a volley at the Con
federates closely pursuing. The colonel
of the Ninety-seventh Ohio, of Lane's
brigade, reported that the abatis broke
up his lino, but that tho men formed
inside the works, doubling upou the
Twenty third corps ranks, and then oc
curred confusion in the commands. '
In support of these statements the
colonel of tho Ono Hundredth Ohio, a
Twenty third corps regiment stationed
at the pike, says that Conrad's men
came over the works and filled and
crowded tho trenches. To relievo tho
pressure ho ordered tho Fourth corps
troops (Conrad's) to fall back and re
farm at the second liue, which order his
own men misunderstood aud themselves
fell back The accounts taken together
show that while there was alarming
disaster there was also gallant recovery
and glory enough for all
