The presence of Mr. P. L. Ames In Omaha
moons , a great deal for tlio metropolis. It
moans , unless nil signs fall , the settlement
ol the long and tiresome controversy over
the union depot. and the determination of
the depot company to .hasten tha worlc of
construction.
When Mr. S. H. H. Clark presented tno
ideas of the special committed of citizens np-
pointcd to confer with the president of the
road to the meeting of the director * hold
some tlmo ago , a resolution favoring n speedy
ottlomont of the controversy was passed and
empowered Mr. Clark to conclude the matter -
tor upon a fair basis , nltko to the company as
well as the city.
But Mr. Clark has failed to wrlto the
special commlttoo of citizens to meat him for
the reason tbat he has wantodjtho helpful as
sistance of Mr. Amos In arriving at the con
clusions necessary to the resumption of woik
upon the prosout unsightly structure , which
is the Jest of every traveler wbo has to look
upon It. As the largest niockholdcr in the
Uifion Pacific , having $3,000,000 to f 10.000,000
invested in Its securities , and at the same
time n largo bolder of clly realty , Mr. Amns
will meat the committee ) this week and will
ondcavor'lo bring the long deferred mutter
to a focus.

What the Cltlrons 1'roponcd.
Thrco propositions were madu by the cora-
rolltco loiMr. Clark , Mr. Klmbnll and olbcrs
Iniorcslcd wllh him In the company. First ,
that the indemnifying bonds which the
city was to sivo 10 the Union Pacific bo can
celed ; second , tbat iho bo.id to bo given by
the Union Pacilio to the city covering the
bridge arbitrary ho suspended and the deeds
bo placed in escrow until iho depot bo far
Inough advanced that it may bo occupied.
Tlio last proposition is Iho thorn Inthusldoof
iho company and upon nn nmlcablo settle
ment of this point will depend whether thn
building is to bo resumed.
A prominent ofllciul who Old not wish to bo
quoted said : "Persons contemplating the
purchase of depot bonds will institute In
quiry as lo the tillo vested in the depot
company nnd should It bo found that the
title was clouded it would work a hardship
upon the company In the sale of Its hnnds. If
the citizens'committee will abate this pro
position , I have not the least doubt about
work being resumed upon the structure. "
And this otllclal know whereof ho was talk
ing.

In any event a few concessions upon the
part of the citucnsand the recognition of Iho
city's right by tha railroad company to
dictate certain things will build Iho depot
nnd it looks now as If the concessions would
bo made while Mr. Ames Is in thn clly.

A Tribute to Ills Ability.
"I formed Mr. Dillon's acquaintance long
before I became connected 'wllh iho Union

Bcii , "His Ufa was un exceptionally busy

an unblujed history nt tha Union
Pacific railroad comes to bo written
tbu Ames family and Sldnov Dillon
will bo hono'rod for the work they did toward
building this great railroad system. Even
millionaires a they wcro , wnon the Union
Pacific was. started , they found money very
icarco , tbo government bonds sold for a song
and thing * had a very ominous look. I re
member Sidney Dillon ouuo telling me that
bo urow his check for the last $111,0.10 bo had

fronted the company founded by Oakes Ames ,
Oliver Amen , Slduoy Dillon aud others ,
"Aa u boy Mr. Dillon worked on tbo first
rollioud bullion the continent , the road from
Albany to bcbciiuotady , and ho followed the
business of rullroad building ever afterwards.
Ho was a contractor ou the Union Pacific
and built much of the railway , Ho was a
contractor upon a large ealo und built , if 1
remember rightly , tbo water works at New
York or Boston. Ho built tbo uudorground
portion.'of theTNow York Central & Hudson
Klvcr railroad , and had a contract for build
ing iho Laku Shore from Ashtubula to Cleve
land.
'In Ulklup to Mr , Frederick L. Amoa tbu
morning , whoso father , Oliver Ames , was
associated with Mr. Dillon in building tbo
Uniou Pacific , Mr. 'Amos stated that Mr.

The regular monthly moating of the Build
ers aud Traders exchange was called to
order at 11:33 : by President Husslo. The
members present were requested to occupy
the front scats where they might bs out of
the way of the rush which was expected at
noon. Their modesty was against them , how
ever , and they froze to the roar rows. Roll-
cull did not bring out n very vigorous volley
ot''hears" ' and then thn minutes of the last
mooting wcra road and approved.
The president addressed the mooting and
said that If the attendance was any indica
tion of the condition of the exchange ho
should fool discouraged , but this was not the
caso. The association was in a prosperous
condition. It had within the past six months
taken up and disposed of an immense amount
of work of great moment to themselves nnd
the public. When an association Uko this
could got ton competent men to spend
ton or flftion nights in the revision
of the building ordinance , as had
been done , ho thought the association was
nn Important factor In tbo city's life. Tboy

the exchange should discus * and express
itsnlf upon the quoslion of voting bonds to
Iho Nebraska Conlial. The exchange was
not in politics but Ibis xvas not a political
question and tno exchange ought to take up
thn titiMfnt. nml nvnrflsft itsnlf rtrrfnr rn.i.
For Iho carpenters' association Mr. Bassjtt
reported that iho branch which ho repre
sented was thoroughtv organized. For tbo
brlclc manufacturers tbo secrota/y inudo a
report of progress. Mr. Drexel reported for
the stone masons that on account of changes
of various firms more tlmo was required.
Mr. Hart , chairman ot iho commlllco on
revision of the building ordinance , reporlcd
that they had Jusl got down to work aud had .
a great deal of it to do. They would report
as soon as possible.
Its Great Importance.
The Nebraska Central railway proposition
was ther. brought up and Dr. Morca'r , who
was piesont , was called for and said that ,
though not a member , ho was pleaded wllh
Iho exchange's progress. Ho wanled
first to say to the builders that
the Interests" they had in charge
were much moro farrcaching than
they thought , to the laborers , the occu
pants , the children living in the houses ;
the architects and the manufacturers of tbo
material. These present were intimately
connected with the life of the city. Ills own
impressions of the railway proposition were
firm , fixed and unchangeable , and hn would
apeak of them later , but just now he wanted
to hoar from some ono elso.
Mr. Epenotor wanted to hoar from the
outsiders Interested in the railroad not to
got up and talk and then have some ono
knock them dowu. They were buildon and
not talkers.
Where was Mr. Duniont , for Instancol
Mr. Thomas McCaguo announced that Mr.
Dumont would DO sent for nnd in the
meantime the following resolution was in
troduced bv Mr. Viorlmg and seconded by
Mr. Droxcl : *
Hosolvcd. That It Is for the host Interests of
the city of Omaha nnd Dtm-'lus county that
tbo bond proposition now before our cltlans
In reference to the Nebraska Central Kullroud
conip'iuy and klndrod subjects bo carried ,
Mr. Dumont took the lloor and explained
the various provisions of the proposition.
Maybe the prooosltlou was lee broad , but in
order to sccuro success ho beliovcd that all
the provisions should bo included. Ho had
had experience and had been criticised in a
former proposition to build a brldga which Iho
people did not want because there was
no way of gelling into South Omaha. At
that tlmo bo hud a syndicate ) lo build that
bridge , but bo was loft without a railroad to
use It because of tbo agreement of tha Hock
"
Island and tbo Union" PncihR. Ho wanted
tbo exchange to understand that the build
ing of this brldgo would take down the bars
and admit eastern railways most effectually
and that the public was amply guarded in Its
Interest slnco no bonds were to bo paid until
worn was dono.
How it Will Help Omnliii ,
The building of tbo roarl would open up
connection with roads loading lo the lalto
port * and to the northeast nnd another to
Chicago. A railroad to the northwest had
been wanted. Would not this open com
munication with the northeast ! Omaha Was
comparatively at a standstill. The bridge
would help it along , as the business men
present could sco wilhout dltliculty.
Dr. Moixer was called for and said that ho
bad always voted for bonds for everything
in the past. Ho had voted for if JoO.Oul ) for a
Union Pacific depot ana helped to secure a
magnificent cowshed , which had been lorn
down ; ho bad voted for $ ir > UOOU for the
Northwestern road and SriO.OOO for the South
western bond nnd the paopia knew what had
bean dono. Ho had voted $ XOJO ) bonds for
tbo Nebraska Central brldgothroo years nno.
They had not kept faith with the people. Ho
had voted for the Union Pacific depot and
Iho people had not got it. The guldo was the
lamp of experience. Tbo newspapers bud
told only ono side of tbo story ; ns to what
was behind they were loft in the dark.
Ho oppoioil the bonds baaauso they were
wrong nnd f7.VJ,000 was too much money ,
because ho bud no faith in them , bccnOUo tno
plan of Improvement' * was not what Omaha
wanted , because wo did not want a bridge
which would allow people to pass through
iho city wilhout a stop over iho tops of tun
houses. Another question was the issuing
of bonds which would hurt the credit of iho
cilv.
cilv."Tho
"Tho moment wo vole 5750,000 the bond
buyer * of luo east and In Europe will say
look oui for Omaha , and the bonds wo sell in
the future will bo sold with great dinioulty , "
bo said. "Wo have hard times. What shall
wo oo ? Wo cannot own the railroads , so iho
papers sav , but we can lease thorn tbo
ground. Tboro is something which can bn
done now which was on foot when this carao
up. It Is this : Lotus condemn n depot slto
on the river bank and a highway to reach it
and lease It to a railroad for 100 years and
lot Item pay for every car that rolls ever
the rails which thev shtU lay on our high
way as a royally. This will not bo soiling
our birthright forja moss of pottage. "
Mr. Dumont la reply said thai the trouble
with old bond propositions was.tbat the people
plo had taken tbo word of railway companies
and not leaked after safe-guards. Th o county
can compel the Nebraska Central to comply ,
with iis agreement by mandamus proceed
ings. Ho aid not feel that he owed the city
on apology for what was done two years ago.
Ho had made un honest and faithful effort to
carry out his proposition. It could not bo
dono. Dr. Mercer had never scon the plans
of the present proposition and was not in a
position to criticise thorn , but experienced
railroad man had and approved them.
How It Will Ho Arranged.
"Our plans do nolrross a single Important
street at grade but the road parses either
under them or over them , " ho said. "Our
union depot will not bo up In llioalrolthor , hut
ourpatsongoraud freight depots are on grade.
The line going through to South Omaha
after crossing Leaven worth parallels the Bolt
line as a surface line. Dr. Morcor'n criti
cisms are based upon lack of knowlcd o and
Information. About hurting the crod 11 of
tbo'ulty. Wo are asking for Douglas counly
bonds. All tbo improvpniPnt bonds are as
sessed against the properly ou which thov
abut. Only (250,000 ot these bonds are "a
debt at all. Novy to show you bow absurd
his argument is ; Tbo last sale of park bonds
was at a premium of $73,000 ,
"A * to tils scheme to bulla a publlo
way , whv was It not brought upl There
was nothing to , prevent those favoring it
from putting It before the peoplo. You are
not asked to elvo these bonds bccauso you
think wo ought to hnyo thorn , but bccauro
you cot vuluo for your money nnd boom your
own property far bcyo&U tno amount of your
taxes. " .
At the ctoso ot Mr. Ihimcmt's speech Dr.
Mercer shot off a bombardment of questions
which were very promptly and satisfactorily
answered by Mr , Uumont.
Mr. Epsnotcr was opposed to the proposi
tion because bO hadnot road it
nnd thought that ihcnoj was not n maximum
rate fixed. Ho had ; read it since nnd hn
como lo the conclusion that the Nebraska
Central was pretty will tied dowu. The
company would not getacJnt until It com
piled with Un agrocmonj , and paving $750,000
for n ? DOOJ.OOO Improvement was n pretty
good speculation. Ho.had boon opposed to
It nnd talked against it unlll ho had found
out what It was. Now ho was lu favnr of It.
Mr. Dumont asked for the privilege of ex
plaining his connection With the former bond
proposition which hod boon carried two
years ago and gave ) u complete- history ot the
transaction of that tlmo and the reasons for
its failure.
I'ftvored the Proposition.

A youiig attorney named KaompTor was
there with two ot three otfiors from the
Fourth nnd Fifth warJg to oppose the ques
tion. Kaoinpfer tried tq show when.ho und
apirtner were nitorncys for the Chicago ,
Milwaukee & Sv. Paul * oad nnd that in 1837
property was condemned for the Nebraska
Central. Mr. Speoht'Cillod him down on
this and told him such proceedings as ho
claimed were unconstitutional. Tbo young
lawyer further tried to tnnuo the meeting
bollovo that Mr. Mlllard and the Union Pa-
clllc road were at the head of the scheme.
Ho Hlso stated that lyvo bridges could bo
built for ? 7.,000. [ ) and wanted to know if the
projectors ot the Nubraptta Central hud anv'
money with which to construct the bridge.
Mr. Hpecht told ICaimpfor in very plain
but oraphallo liinguactj Ihat foputablo busi
ness men wllh ill the necessary
money were nt the bacK ol the project. Ho
staled that ttioso wbo were opposed to tbo
bond proposition wcra jcither representing
some corporation or paid no taxc * .
Mr. Kaompfer also mitUe an attcmty- an
alyze the proposition anft to show tbo defeats
in it , but ho made a lamentable failure , as
Frank Patrick told him ho was talking to an
intelligent class of people , and it was not
necessary for him to read the proposition ,
us a Mormon road the bible , by eliminating
that which did not suit him. *
A Sqniira nnd Kill * Proposition.
Mr. Pa'rlck said ho b'olluvod the proposi
tion was square and fair. If the company
did not do what it agreed to it would got
nothing from the city. By voting tbo bonds
men now Idle would bo given employment
and thousands ot dollars would bo earned
and sponl In Iho clly. The road would con
nect with a half dozen largo roads in Iowa
lhat wflulil como Into Omaha. In every par
ticular the proposition was a good ono.
It was nn opportunity of a lifo
tlmo to Omaha , The difficulty at
present with Omaha was tbat there were no
inducements to capitalists to coma to this
city. It was ati evidence of coed faith on the
part of the company paving out S20.000 for
the expense of the election.
A man named Nelson opposed the proposi
tion by the argument that the S7 , " > 0,000 could
bo moro bcnefically upciit In inducing manu
facturing enterprises to locnto hero. Hu ad
mitted , however , that there should bo a
bridge , bill ho could not understand how the
proposition would bonofll the clly. He hedged
somewhat on his Ideas when William
McCacuo , ono of the Interested parlies in
the company , explained the proposition ,
Mr. McCacuo spoke of Omaha's great neces
sity for abridge and terminal facilities. Ho
said many Omaha capitalists would llko to
Invest in the enterprise If it were not for tbo
fact that they were domineered over by
olhor roads , The breadth of tjiu onlorpriso ,
ho said , was ils salvation. A brlelco ulono
would not bo n success. Ho
didn't think that Judge John D ,
Howe would endorse the prop
osition If it were -not in good faith
and for the host Interest of Omaha.
J. Grant was tu favortof iho proposition.
Ho said tbat the citizens who favored iho
bonds wcro surely not all boodlora and In the
boodle ring as had bnei ; referred to , Tbo
road was simply to advance tbo Interests of
Omaha. The kickers , he sale ) , were persons
who cared nothing about the prosperity of
Omuha. Ho believed every workingman -
man should vote for tlio bond" . Ho
thought the Union PaclQo robbery should bo
stopped.
Tbo president , Mr. Stevens , nskod who
was president of the ffabraska Central and
Mr. McCngue Informed him tbat John A.
McSnano at present hold that position and
that Mr , Dumont was vlco president.
Union I'uelllo Opposing tlio IlpiuU ,
There was a general'hoated discussion on
boodle and rings and ( ho like , and Mr. Pat
rick said whllo tlmt sjojecl was being talked
about do desired to say that ho know tno
Union Puiiitlo hud olTorcd $10,000 to defeat
the bond proposition ,
Mr , Nelson was very nilxloua to stop the
debate on the bond question and talk about
sewer * , but ttioso who' had mot to discuss
the proposition would not bavo U that way ,
The debate was continued and became
pretty warm nnd prnfntilj after which a vote

fused to allow him to inako any additional

The Cotuor Trouble Again.
The Cotnor trouble came up again under
the head of medical colleges , and for two
hours the faculty adherents skilfully on-
deavorcd to got in their work , but without
success. There was no reconsideration ahd
tno move to soeuro nn endorsement of the
faculty was a dismal failure.
In order to carry out the Intent of the
committee report adopted Wednesday evening -
ing , a resolution was introduced providing
( or tbo appointment cf a now committee to

or study and methods of Instruction followed
by the faculty , and conferring oa
the committee- power to act u
it might see lit In the best interests of ec
lecticism , at any tlmo between now and the
next annual mo'otinij.
Exceptions were taken to the resolution ,
and a committee , consisting of Dr. HowarA -
of Harvard , DM. Van Came and Morton oil
Omabn , Dr. Lutgon of Brock and Dr. John *
.son of Province City , was appointed
to Draw up an instructing resolution to fill
the case and to report at U o'clock , no that a
committee could then bo appointed that
would liuvo full swing. ,
After Uio'tncoilng adjourned Dr. Carrlkor ,
professed to fool that it virtually amounted
to a full reconsideration of all that was dona
lust night , and that the faculty was to're
main undisturbed for this your at least.
Ho said that the whole trouble was Kicked
up by a few soreheads and malcontents , who
wcro In the minority , but who wanted to
rule or ruin. Ho admitted that ho and his
friends had done some tall lobbying , but ho
insisted that it bad been successful and that
was tbo great beauty of it all.
On the other huud , the opposition denied
that they Imu lot un at all or that tholr
causa was In any way weakened , and prom
ised to ( iron the president so hard at the at-
tcmoon session as to make his tooth molt.
Thov claimed to have the commlttoo on res

They stated that certain causes would bo
sulllclcnl grounds for removal , and that
