bel Law.
Frankfort, Ky.. Feb. 6 Whether
it bhall b-j war or peace in Kentucky
rests tonight with Governor Taylor
alone. Tne question has been in his
mind all day and tonight he declared
that he had reached no decision and
will announce none before tomorrow.
The agretrnsut reached by the
Jouioville conference last night waa
brought to him tonight by a committee
consisting of General Dan Lindsay, T.
II. lUnter and T. L. Edelin. Tney
handed Governor Taylor a copy of the
agreement and were closeted with him
for a short time und then departed.
As they left the bui diog Mr. Baker
remarked: "I hope and believe that
the entire matter will be amicably ad
justed. More than this I am unable to
cay at the present time."
General Jjinday and Mr. Edelin
spoke in bimiUr terms and while all
ex oressed themselves as reasonably
conii Jent that Governor Taylor would
acquiesce in the terms of the agree
ment they a Jt-atre to bo understood
as suying ttiat they had no authorita
tive reason fiom Governor Taylor for
entertaining the belief they expressed.
E iriy in the morning, before he had
received a copy of the agreement.
Governor Tuylor auid:
Wants fratir Klretlons.
"Under no circ jmstances will I di
cuj the agreement before a copy of it
reaches me. It would be most unfair
and most discourteous for me to do bo.
Speaking generally, however. I would
cay that if an agreement can be made
by which an election law will be given
to the people of Kentucky, through
which a fair election and a fair count
could be secured to the citizens of this
state, no personal ambition of mine
will be allowed to stand in the way."
After the three men who brought
the agreement had retired Governor
Taylor remained alone in hi oUce
with the cooy of the agreement. He
studied it carefullv, went over its sev
eral provisions in an exhaustive man
ner and late in the afternoon declared
that he would take no action whatever
until tomorrow.
I wnh to see my attorneys," he
said, "a id to consult with them about
certain forms of the agreement before
I announce my iutention. I will not
say what I intend to do until I have
obta'red legal ad vie."
The consultation of the attorneys
was held tonight in Governor Taylor'
office and adjourned at a late hour.
Snutor lilackbu'n. who returned
this morning frm Louisville, ex
pressed himself tonight as being con
fident that the entire trouble would bo
settled peacefully.
It is eutirely natural," ne said,
"that the other side bbould wish to
take time to consider the agreement
and to prepare its statement to be is
sued at the same time the signature is
affixed. I have no knowledge of what
will be done, but I firmly oelieve the
agreement will be accepted substan
tially as adopted bv the members of
the L'mibVilio. conference and that all
chance of trouble will be avoided."
When asked for bis opinion of the
consequences should ( vernor Tay.or
decline to accept the agreement, Sen
ator Blackburn sid:
'That is a question I do not care to
discuss or even think about. If no
settlement is made now it willjiead to
endless complications before the end is
reached.

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.

Parmele Purchases Uocner Barn
Property On Vine Street.
J. II. Thrasher has closed a deal
with Charles C. Parmele, whereby the
latter becomes the owner of the Bonner
barn, on Fourth and Vine streets. The
consideration wes $1,000.
It is understood Mr. Parmele will
have the old structure torn down and
erect some email dwelling houses on
the site. The material from the old
building will perhaps be used for other
purposes.
This will not only be a great im
provement to that part of the city, but
it will help to fill a long felt want. It
is almost impossible to find a vacant
dwelling in the city which is fit to live
in, and if other enterprising citizens
would follow Mr. Parmele's example
and build a few more substantial dwell
ing houses they would be doing a good
thing for Plattsmouth and the com
munity generally.
RAILROAD .NOTES AND PERSONALS
The most important item of railroad
news announced for several months is
that on May 1 the Burlington and
Northern Pacific railroaJs will estab
lish through-train service in both di
rections between Portland and St.
Louis, by way of Billings, Mont. To
maintain this through service, ten
trains will be required, and orders for
the new equipment have already been
placed. The new trains will carry
sleeping, dining, tourist and smoking
cars, as well as first and second class
coaches. The Burlington route is be
coming a big factor in the passenger
situation in the northwest, and the ar
rangement now Leing perfected will
undoubtedly have a tendency to make
the Billings gateway even more pop
ular than it hes been in the past.
A Chicago newspaper 6ays that sev
eral western railroads will experiment
this coming season with metal lies for
track service, and that several of the
roads intended to build the coming
year have already ordered large lots
of the ties. The scarcity of wooden
ties and the probability that in the
near future the price will go still
higher has caused superintendents of
construction and maintenance much
worry. The Santa Fe and Burlington
roads have sought to overcome future
trouble by building large tie-preserv
ing plants where the ties are chemi
cally treated and the life of the ma
terial more than doubled.
With exceptional rapidity for rail
road building at this season of tho
year lhe work of extending the branch
lino cf the Burlington from Northport
to Guernsey, Wye. is progressing.
The lino has been built as far as Scott's
Bluff, and the station at this place vill
bo opened Friday, after which time
the regular operation of trains will be
gin. Scott a Uiuii is aouui iniriy-iwo
miles from Northport, on the north
bank of the Platte river, and the com
pletion cf the line to this point marks
ab ut half the distance from JNortn-
port to the Nebraska etate line, and
ab ut one-third the length ol the en
tire proposed line. Scott's Bluff is a :
town which has b en in existence for
several years, and despite its previous
lack of railroad facilities has been a
thriving business center, having a
splendid farming and cattle country
tributary to it. It is across the river
from Gering, quite a prominent town.
As rapidly as the new branch is pushed
up the North Platto valley bow sta
tions will be opened. Thero are two
more in Nebraska Sunflower and Col
lins to be provided with railroad ad
vantages by the building of this branch.
Another station, Pratt, will be located
on the Wyrraing-Nebraska state line.
The order issued Saturday by the
state board of transportation reducing
the local freight rates on corn, oats.
mill feed and other commodities 30 per
cent below the present rate has caused
considerable comment in railroad cir
cles. The present rale has been in
effect since December 1, 1694, when
Governor Thayer appealed to the rail
roads to reduce the rates in order that
the citizens of the western part of the
state couid be enabled to ship in and
out grain on a basis commensurate
with the hard times and prices of the
commodities.
The Burlington section men wire
called out last night to clear the snow
from the tracks in the yard.
All the trains on both the Burling
ton and Missouri Pacific were late to
day on account of the blizzard. Bur
lington passenger No. 6 was nearly
three hours late this morning while
the trains from the east were each
about an hour behind time.
Railroad cars can be easily shifted
by the use of a new implement, com
prising a lever, which has a pair of
plates attached to one end, with
curved ends to tit the flange of the
wheel, a chain being booked over the
axle to increase the traction on the
wheel and allow it to he revolved.
Railroad enginemen make some ob
jection to the new electric headlights
that are being adopted by the western
roads. It is said that the light is very
severe on the eyes of the trainmen who
are met by its fierce glare at meeting
points.
