caused by a false report made by some oiio
to Dr. Pnxton concerning what Mr , Loomls
said. The doctor in his excitement did not
make nay explanations , neither would ho
hoar ono , but came up to Mr. Loomls nnd
asked : "What have you been lying about
mo forl"
Mr. Loomls replied : "I don't know that I
hnvollcd about you. "
Dr. Paxton said : "Yes. you did j you said
I got drunk and insulted a lady. "
Mr. Loomls replied : " 1 never said it. "
The doctor then said : "Como along with

nnd said : "I don't know that 1 wUl go with
yoiumtil I have to. "
Then the doctor said no more , but began
belaboring Mr. Loomls with a stick of some
kind nbout the head , striking only nrouud
the head. Mr. LoomU stood calmly through
It nil nnd offered no resistance. By this
tlmo nn oxcltcd crowd had gathered , nnd
the doctor loft the scene nnd wont imme

of assault and battery agamit him , which
ho did ; the justice fined the doctor $1 nnd
presumed It settled. The excitement pre
vailed through the evening. A few were
saying the doctor did just right and con

MR , LOHAX TALKED PLAINLY
Telegraphic Tip from the World's ' lair Oity
Somewhat Excites Him.
DENIES THE CHICAGO DISPATCHES
That Promtied lluptnre in the Western
I'nuoncer Amoolntlon Dlsoamod In Sov
ernl I.nntfumos Cli\lnni n Vromnn
on Union I'nolllo Ilotranuhtncnt.
Qcnernl I'nssonRor Agent Loraax vrns visi
bly excited yesterday mornlnff over
the telegram In Tun BBS from Chicago
cage announcing that the Union
Pacific had Brown tlrod of Iho
Western Passenger association and would
pull out of that body of silk shirts. When
mad Mr. Lomax Indulges In expletives of n
sensational character. This was his condi
tion yesterday morning.
"That telegraph dispatch Is all rot , " said
the usually mllil dlsposltionod gen
eral passenger agent of the Overland
route. "Look nt the head , 'May
Moan a Dig Uato War. ' Now that Is not the
condition of affairs at nil. No such telegram
was sent as attributed to mo. The lines
wore never asked to pro-rato the business ,
simply to add their local r.xtos to rates In
effect from the Missouri river.
"As for transferring baggage and passen
gers freely from connecting lines to our own ,
it Is only done in cases llko St. Joe , Sioux
City and llko stations. Wo don't do It in
Chicago or St. Louis , who.ro the Union
Parlflo has not n single line of track , only nt
points where the tickets road over our lines
and thuti a coupon for transfer is attached.
"All this tempest in a teapot grow out of
the eastern committee of the Western Pas
senger association , so called , refusing to ac
cept our basing rate of $25 first class and
$18 second class from the Missouri river to
Pacific coast points. I asked Mr. Caldwell
why the eastern committee refused to
accept the basing rato. and if they could con
sistently do so under the association's rules.
That was all that was sent to Mr. Caldwoll.
Wo have no intention of leaving the associa
tion , " and Mr. Lomnx proceeded to write his
name with an indelible load pencil upon n
scoroof lettocs with larger flourishes than
over.
over.But Mr. Lomax's dnnlal to the contrary
the Union Pacific fools decidedly sere ever
the refusal of the Burlington , Bock Island ,
Milwaukee and Chicago Great Northern to
use the basing rate , which ho recently
made the soiling rato.
The contention of these roads has boon
that it was too low for them to touch but
they had no objection to the Union Pacific's
ally , the Northwestern , using it. For a
time things wont along wlttiout much friction
but the Union Pacitlo didn't got the business
It thought It wiis entitled to via the Mis-
aoarl river nnd it sought to broaden Its
Holds by asking the other lines touching the
river to accept the basing rate of $25 first
class and S18 second class. The
other rouds declined to accept the
rate , to the unutterable disgust
of Mr. Lomax , who commenced tc
cast about for a way to got oven with his
friendly associates in the Western Passes
gor association. And ho Has gene about it
in the manner detailed In TUB BED'S Chicago
dispatch.
Mr. John Francis of the Burlington , as
sinning that Mr. Lomax wanted to got out
of an association which gave hitr
so little comfort , remarked in hi :
qutot way that it was easier to catch file ;
with molasses than with vinegar. "Mr
Lomax , " said ho , "will bo bettor oft In tlu
association than out. While the lines
decide not to accept the basing rates of the
Union Pacific , they explicitly stated thai
they had no objection to any line usliif
them that so desired. For ourselves
solves there is no money in the rati
and so wo decided to keep out of the wholi
matter and let Mr. Lomax fight his northert
competitor , the Great Northern , as hi
deemed wisest.
Mr. Lomax went to Chicago yostoday after
noon to hold a senuco with Mr. Caldwell am
incidentally with the members or ( he caiton
committee relative to the situation.
WILL SUPPORT THE U. P.
The Alton Will Giro it Kncourncement li
Its Fight Against the Atclilson.
Cniciao , Aug. 34. The row between th
Union Pacific and the Western Passenge
association regarding the former's rates t
Montana and Puget Sound being used 10
basing purposes bids fair to assume serlou
proportions. The fact that the Alton toda ,
informed Chairman Caldwell of the associo
tlon that It would support the Union Pacifl
in its demands on the Atchison is als
strongly in favor of the Union Pacific
Chairman Caldwell remains tirrn and say
tne Union Pacific is entitled to no othe
satisfaction than that obtainable under th
association ugroomont.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of th
Union Pacific will bo in the city tomorroi
and ho and Chairman Caldwell will ondoavo
to settle the question without allowing th
Union Pacific to withdraw from the assocli
tlon , as there is now a possibility of it
doing.
The mooting of transcontlnontal line :
which was to have been hold in this clt
Augustus , has been postponed until Sopton

that it will not bo present at the mooting. 1
declares that it had no part In disruptin
the tariffs and that those who cut them t
pieces must patch thorn up.

plaints with Mr.DIokinson and Mr.McConne
Mr. Vroman was nt headquarters yestordo
morning , and asked by a report !
whether the oOlcials of the Unic
Pacific had given notice (
the suspension of brotherhood agreement
said that they had not. "Our agreement
ura somewhat different than agreements o
other roads. Hero the agreements may t
suspended upon reasonable notice fro :
either party , "
"What would you consider roasonab
notice ? "
"Oh , probably twenty days. But the con
pany lias boon making retrenchments in !
many other directions that I hardly bolioi

ing contracts. In every department of whic
I know anything the Union Pacific Is askii ;

"As for the tram men , they are on
mileage basis , and conformably to the spir
of such agreements when business Is bn

laid off u great many trainmen temporarily
Yet those men might have been pcnnltu

would have had work only for the men no
employed , laboring , as they do , upou a mil

"Tho company has made croat reduction
but I very much question if they will su

The complainants allege that they are : coi
polled to work too many hours each dt

is eucpectcd of them than it is possible f <
the tiuman body to enduro. The commltt <

PLANNING FOR VIADUCTS
Result of the Examination of Tenth and
Eleventh Street Structures ,
RAILROAD COMPANIES NOT READY
Ilenlth Commldloner Homer * Make * An
other Attack on the Dry Closet Syitein
Sew r Contractor * Continue Their
Work Called from the City Hull.
Engineer Campbell of Council Bluffs has
made his report to City Engineer Rosewater
upon t.ho viaducts. Mr. Campbell was se
lected by the city engineer to act with him
in making an examination of the Tenth ,
Eleventh and Sixteenth street viaducts , and
to offer such suggestions as to repairs nnd
reconstruction as he found the facts to war
rant.
The action wai taken by the council In
structing Mr. Ilosowator to select another
engineer and in conjunction with the engi
neers of the Union Pacific nnd the Burling
ton to make an examination of the Tenth
nnd Eleventh street viaducts nnd report
what repairs were necessary : also to ascer
tain the condition of the Sixteenth street
structure ns to Its safety nnd whether re
construction was necessary. Both Mr.Roso-
water nud Mr. Campbell have made exam
inations and are ready to report ns soon as'
the railway company engineers nro. The
reports nro to bo submitted to the council to
guide thnt body in whatever notion It may
take in causlne repairs to bo made or to have
the Sixteenth street viaduct constructed.
The Union Pacific and tlio Burlington com
panies have moved In this matter with the
rapidity characteristic of great bodies. The
engineers of those companies have either
boon very busy or else they have boon nb-
sent from the city slnco the council con
cluded that It vrantcd moru export ovldnnco
to show that the viaducts nro not in good
repair. It is promised by the Burllucton
that the engineer of thnt company will been
on hand In n few days nnd thnt ns soon ns
ho arrives ho will make an examination of
the viaducts.
Mr. Rosewater -nlll not submit his and
Mr. Campbell's report until those of the
railroad engineers have boon furnished. Ho
will also keep his own confidence as to what
the reports will contain until the report of
the railway men Is forthcoming.
Sewer Contractors nt Work.
Notwithstanding that the contractors on
the main sewers have several thousand dollars
lars in unpaid estimates against the city ,
they nro proceeding with their work , with
ono exception. The failure of the city to put
up cash for the estimates , which have boon
approved nnd allowed by the proper officials ,
is duo to the fact that there is no money in
the fund. The failure to dispose of the
$100.000 in main sewer bonds has loft the
fund in a depleted condition , while the city
has under contract about $75,000 of this work ,
with probably $15,000 in unallowed and un
paid estimates.
McDonald & Penfiold , the contractors on
the big North Omaha sewer , are crowding
heir work. The firm says the contract will
bo completed regardless of whether the city
ells the bonds immediately or not. J. L.
Hack is working on the Chicago , Valley and
twenty-first main sowers. Ho has several
housand dollars in unpaid estimates , which
> ho council intended paying out of the sink-
ng fund , but Mayor Bemis1 veto of illegally
ilverting ono fund to another put n stop to
sush n procedure. Mr. Black is going right
nhoad and will not ccaso if there is the least
xmlblo show that the city in a reasonable
time will meet his estimates. Reeves & Co.
are not working on the Dorcas street exten
sion , although ordered to work in May.
The officials will endeavor to make some
) revisions to moot the-obligations of the
city to the main sewer men in case the bonds
ire not floated. Just what stops will be
; aken are not decided upon , but something
will undoubtedly bo dono.
Another Attnck on Drjr Closets.
Health Commissioner Somors , in his war-
'aro upon the dry closet systems In the
different school buildings , has made another
charge upou the enemy , which is represented
n the person of the Board of Education.
The doctor , backed up by the Board of
Health , has hopes of eventually routing She
enomyand ho will continue his charges until
some ono shows the white feather and dis
plays the flag of truce.
Yesterday morning the third notice of the
same nature was served upon the individual
members of the school board. The notioo
cltos the fact the that continuance and main-
tolnanco of the dry closet system In the
West Omaha school Is a violation of the
ordinances of the citv , and that unless the
same Is removed within ten days that the
members of the board will subject them
selves to arrest and fine upon conviction.
The first notice served was to abate the
nuisance existing at the Kollom school
caused by the dry closet system , the second
to remove the system from the Saratoga
school and the one this morning was the
third. The time to comply with the orders
of the head of the health department on all
of the notices served expires nbout the same
timo. This will make it possible to cause
the arrest of the honorable Board of Educa
tion on thrco separate charges at the sumo
timo. This will bo done , so sav the health
officials , in case the dry closet system In the
school buildings is not abandoned.
City lionds Selllnc Again.
Two more of the city bonds were disposed
of Wednesday. They were in the dcnomlna
tions of $100 each , short time issues , boarlnp
C per cent Interest. This makes four of the
bonds that have been sold by the troasurci
at private sale.
The names of the purchasers are withheld
by the city officials for the reason that the
modesty of those buying the bonds might be
such that they would stand in horror ol
having their names appear in print , anc
they might hnvo serious objection to their
loyalty to the city in which they llvo bolng
heralded to the multitudes.
The demand for'tho bonds among the rest
dents of this city is not nearly so great a :
was anticipated it would bo. Only one ol
the sewer contractors has stated that it
case the city is unable to float the bond ;
that they will bo taken and the contract
which is a big ono , completed.
Deputy Comptroller Wostborg Is proparlnt
n statement showing the bond issues thai
have boon sold since 18S9 , together with thi
premiums realized. An issue of city hal
bonds in 1890 brought a premium of 8.41
while the park bonds realized a premium o
overO percent. When this statement 1 :
completed it will show fully the value o
Omaha paper as a security.
