Liscor.x , Sept. t [ Special to Tna BER. !
the report to the effect that Judge Lansing
had discharged his deputy , Colonel Long ,
because tlio latter presumed to bo a candi
date for the office to which' the Judge him
self aspired fora second term is untrue.
The teal dtnioulty has leaked out. Yester
day afternoon there was n conference In the
judge's nrlvato ofllco , and the Board of
County Commissioners , Judge Lansing and
Colonel Long were the participants. A few
days slnca it came to the ears of the county
jmlgo that Long , who had s'omo time before
circulated the announcement that ha was a
candidate , had further supplemented it with
the sensational charge that Lansing was a
defaulter and that ha had not reported to
the commissioners fees which ho should
have dono. Yesterday Lansing discharged
ILong-nml demanded of him that he explain
liln charges to the commissioners.
Long charged In oiTect that Lansing had
received fqos In the shnpo of court costs
from Harwood. Amos k Pcttls vrhich ho had
not accounted for and that ho had also failed
to account for foes received for the making
of transcripts. I.anslngoxplalncd the charges
fully , and the commissioners retired appar
ently satisfied therewith. The juilco stated
that the laxr firm had n note of his for collec
tion. They nlso owed considerable court
costs. They receipted his note , nnd ho re
ceipted the court costs. Long , who has boon
In l ho ofllco for six years , and who has always
Jeupt the books , was absent ut the time , and
.Lansing had a clerk lake a record of tlio
canes In which costs had been satisfied to bo
given Long when ho loturncd. The clerk
pigeon-holed the paper , and forgot to give It
to Loni ? when ho came back.
Later on Long made oiit a bill and .tent Ute
to Hnrwood , Ames & Pottls. Up cnmo a
represent ntlvo of the law firm nnd demanded
to know what it meant. The colonel was as
tonished and asked the lawyer to bo per
mitted tp take a copy of the receipt. Ho did
so , as the lawyer says , for the announced
purpose of giving proper credit on tlio books ,
but Instead of doing so sprung It on the
judge as evidence in support of his charge.
Lansing contended also that by Long's
advice tlio transcript fees had never boon
charged up , but the latter alleged differ
ently. The opinion of the county attorney
linn been asked on triis point and tbo matter
Oropped.for iho timo. As It is now Long Is
out of n .lilco , lat Job. nnd proposes irivlng
his former chtef a wrestle for the Judgcshlp.

Mrs. Lillian 1C Shilling loft last night for
the homo of her parents in Benne countv ,
Iowa. Behind the simple announcement is
the story ot a domestic tragedy that has
just reached the light of publicity. Her
husband , Alf J. Shilling , wus a member of
the drug firm of Shilling Bros. , leading business
'
iness men , who wero'impllcated In some of
the state drug contracts , as exposed in TUB
BEB last winter. He had a very pretty wife ,
who -was aware that she was very
pretty , She lilted the society of friends ,
and eiijoyed it moro thnn Shilling liked.
Some time in July she went to Chicago
cage , and not returning when she had
agreed Shilling .went after her. As the
story goes they had a quarrel in which ho"
struck and beat her and called her vile nnd
opprobrious names. Ho returned without her ,
and sold out his interest in the drug business.
Tlio wife followed , and sought the advice of
attorneys , she claiming that he had disposed
of his business for tbo purpose of robbing
her of any participation in the fruits of their
mutual industry. Shilling got wind of her
Intention to neck a divorce , nnd ns ho was
violently in lo'vo wjth her sought to dissuade
her. Finding it useless ho swallowed a dose
of poison , and only by superhuman efforts of
the doctors was ho saved. This act delayed
tbo divorce proceedings for n time und iho
wife went to her parents'hotno in Perry , la.
"When she heard ho hud sold out his busi
ness , she came back to Lincoln , secured the
housahold nnd shipping them to Iowa followed -
lowed hist night herself. Shilling Is said to
have-gone to his old homo in Indiana.

Monday. The bank claims $0,000 as u trust
fund , tlio amount of a note sent , the Capital
National fov collection , und the procccas of
which are among iho receiver's assets. The
main point involved was a question of juris
diction , although it wus also contended by
the defense that the federal statute ) , white
providing that a national bank may sue and
lia sued , prohibited such processes ns Injunc
tion and attachment of the bank or Its prop

> .x PARK COMMISSIONERS.
Names Dlncnssod for the Now Pnrka but
> "o Action Tnken.
The part commission hold another moot
ing 1 yesterday afternoon for tbo purpose of
selecting ; some suitable name for the Parker
tract , but as the members could not agrco
upon what the name should ho the christen
ing was deferred until some other time.
During the early stages of the mooting ,
Nobcrgall & Whitmoro offered to clean out
the artesian well in Hanscom park for tbo
sum of $50 and put it in u condition so that
the water would como within 175 foot of the
surface. The offer was accepted.
Mr. Tukcy suggested that it would ho a
wise thing for the commissioners to take up
the boulevard question and complete the
circuit by deciding what , route would bo fol
lowed from Elmwood park to tlio Parker
tract. Tbo surveys , ho said , hud boon mudo
and the commissioners should select ono or
the other. The whole matter was referred
to the committee on designation , to confer
with the surveyor and report.
Having disposed of tbo routine business ,
Dr. Miller remarked that tun time for agree
ing upon a park name for the Parker tract
had arrived , and that owing to the fact that
thcro bad boon a suggestion that the laud bo
given the name "Miller" park and that on
account of having some delicacy about dis-i
cussing the name , ho would retire. Before
going ho stated that if thcjand wnsgivgn
his name it was without his consent , as ho
had no desire to immortalize himself in that
manner.
When the doctor loft the room the secre
tary read n lengthy letter from A. J. Pop-
plcton , in which that gentleman urged that
the tract should bo named Curtjs park In
honor of the late General Samuel H. Curtis ,
the man who was instrumental in building
the 1'latto Valley branch of the Union
Pacific railroad , and a few years ago died in
a carriage while ridlutr from this city to
Council Bluffs.
Regarding the war record of the late Gen
eral Curtis , ho was the man who whipped
the confederates to a finish at the battle of
Pea Hidgo , ono of the battles' fought during
the rebellion. In his letter Mr. Poppleton
wrote that the general had novur mudn his
homo in Omaha , his residence having boon
at Keokuk , la. , though ho had always main
tained a favorable attitude toward this city
and was instrumental in giving it its lirst
railroad.
W. H. Alexander sent n lottnr to the com
missioners , In which ho opined that the
name of Miller uould bo suitable to the
community , and that it would bo as n monument
ment to the man who might bo termed the
father of Omaha's parks.
Mr , Tukey thought that the naming of the
traot Miller uark placed tho. commissioners
In a very delicate position , hut notwith
standing that ho did not like the name
' Curtis. " The general was not-known by
the puoplo of the city , and even the present
generation would ask "What Curtis do they
moan ? "
Judge Luke remarked that ho had us much
respect for Dr , Miller as for any man on
earth , but on general principles ho was op
posed to the plan of naming parks and pub-
no buildings aftcr.llving men. And again , If
the commissioners named the traot "Mlllnr"
park , to the public it would loojc as though
they had formed themselves into a mutual
admiration society.
Mr. Kllpatrlck said that as a rule ho
would not bo in favor of giving the tract the
name of any man who was nlive , but this
was u custi in which ho did not think that
the coniinlssloii would bo censured , owing to
tiio fact that Dr. Miller was Known to bo a
very honorable gentleman and had a very
warm place in iho hearts of the Omaha
ucoplo.
Mr. Mlllard explained that on soroo ot tlio
points ho agreed with Judge Lake , but that
this was ono exception , us there was no man
in the city more entitled'to the honor than
Dr. Miller and that there was none moro de
serving of having his name perpetuated. He
felt that it wus erecting a monument to his
memory.
Judge Lake suggested that the time to
erect monuments was after man were dead
and gene and not while they wuro aliva
Fooling tlmt they wore not all of ono mind
upon the subject of a name , the commis
sioners thought ic bettor to take more time
ana as a result the matter went over until
some subsequent meeting.

No Itecelrer An Interesting : Tnlk on
Subject * or Intercut Federation Plan
Among Employes Note
Yesterday was Joseph II. Millard's railroad
ay. Banking cares have so greatly occupied
ho attention of the president of the Omaha
National bunk in the past sixty days that ho
as not devoted any great amount of time to
ho condition of the Union Pacific , of which
, o ii ono of the prominent directors , but
today ho dropped discounts and loans to
nils to a ropresontatlvo of TUB BEE upon
ho affairs of the _ "Overland" svstom.i
When asked about the funding bonds ma-
uring yesterday , Mr. Mlllard said : "Tho
wcnty-yoar funding bonds falling duo today
iavo given the company considerable un-
: aslnoss. but I am very happy to say. that
ihelr redemption has been provldid for. I
the amount of these bonds Is some-
hing like 13,000,000 , beating 8 per cent In-
orest. Arrangements have been made to
ssuo a now bond to these desiring to con-
inuo bondholdlng at n lower ratoof Interest ,
> per cent , nan was originally attached to the
ild bouds.
Finances In Hood Slmpe > .
"Thoro are many parsons who nro satis-
fled with the condition of the road to
nvcst their money in the company and to
, heso the old bonds will bo exchanged for
now ones running I think for ten or fifteen
years. But should thd holders' the old
bonds dcslro tholr money , the road is in a
position to pay them the amount of their
oldings.
"As to the condition of the finances of the
company I am pleased to say that It is In a
position to take care of present llabtlitlcn ,
and with the increased business soon to ou-i
0 ur I see no reason for all the visionary talk
going the rounds regarding n receivership.
All that talk is purely mythical , as the com
pany , while suffering like all wdstorn roads ,
is on a solid financial basis. Of course , the
strictest economy must bo practiced , the man
agement must cut and save whcrovor possible
and the . road must bo conducted very con
servatively. With these missions of tbo im
mediate future accomplished , I have no
hesitancy in predicting that brighter days
are in store for the corporation which has
done so much for Omaha and Nebraska , not
withstanding that the Ames' , the Dillon's
and the pioneers in the building of the sys
tem , have been reviled and slandered by the
r icoplo of this community.
Sequel of a Strike.
"Suppose' that there should bo a strike on
the entire system , and not a wheel bo turned
for thirty days. Tlio pcoplo would then realIze -
Izo such a panic as never before , which goes
to show that Omaha and the Union Pacific
ought to have Interests in common , because
the Union Pacific is really an Omaha road.
Time was when Mr. Dillon imagined that
the town on the other side of the river would
become a great railroad and Jobbing center ,
but I am pleased to say that toward the
close of that very busy Hfo Mr. Dillon real
ized his mistake and gave Omaha , all the
credit she deserved. "
"Havo you thought that the men working
on schedule would accept a reduction ? "
"I cannot see why not , when they como to
understand the situation. It is a well known
fact that the Union Pacific pays hotter
salaries than almost any other road ,
and naturally the men want all the
wages they can get. but as a reduction
temporary in its nature is imperative. I
holiovo they will see the Justness of the
situation and accept a reasonable reduction.
I Icnow how prcatly tlu men at the head of
the system hated to issue the order re
ducing salaries , but it was absolutely neces
sary , and the general order was issued. Of
coursb salaries will bo restojcd , but when , is
entirely dependent upon the business of the
company. "
Wilt Hnve n New Depot.
Then Mr. Mlllard drifted to that moss-
covered subject , the Union depot , and was
frank enough to admit that ho was ashamed
of the present accommodations provided the
public , but on account of the financial condi
tion thought it was impossible to improve
matters at present.
"I hope , however , " said ho , with that
rare smile which sometimes illumines his
features , "to live to sco a fine depot erected
in Omaha , but unless they commence pretty
soon I have my doubts about living to see its
completion "
"Tho site for the now depot , " remarked
Mr. Mlllard , "should bo at the foot of F&if-
nam street and I beliuvo all the ground nec
essary for depot purposes could bo purchased
for $200,000 , possibly less. It would not cost
anywhere near us much as people thinlc and
would be a lasting credit to the city. Of
course the subject of a now depot will bo
revived some of these days , when I hope It
will bo pushed' to completion without em
barrassing injunctions and other bother
ations. Times are cousidorably better and
I know the Union Pacific pcoplo are very
hopeful over the outlook. "

CHICAGO , Sept. 1. Today was the date sot
for the inauguration of the 10 per cent re
duction in wages on the Rock Island , Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul and Wabash
roads. All other lines reported that they
had experienced no trouble , and in view of
the vast number of unemployed on which
the roads could draw in case of a strike
they wore expecting none. The truth of
the matter is , however , that the roads have
not made any such sweeping reductions as
they at first intended. This has as much to
do with the absence of strikes as the num
bers of idle men.
The Western Passenger association has
decided on u ono faro rate to Chicago and re

Council Bluffs prefaced a solo with a few
practical suggestions as to methods la the
Sunday school room. Tbo latter part of tbo
morning session was aovotea to un "experi
ence" mooting as to the good that had been
done by the convention , und the probable
effect that it would have In the various
church Holds in the year to conio.
Noon brought the end of the Sunday
school convention , as the afternoon ana
evening will bo devoted to tha Young
People's Society of Christian Endeavor ,
and the series of conventions will adjourn
slno dlo nt the close of the ovcnlnc session.
The plan followed this year has not proven
the most brilliant kind of a success , and it
will not bo repeated. A number of the dele
gates who have attended former conven
tions were enthusiastic ever it as an experi
ment , but the practical working has not boon
what they expected. It was thought that to
got the delegates from all departments
of church work together at ono and the same
time would bo productive of the awakening
of a great deal of interest , and that the ex
penses of tlio conventions would bo reduced.
The result has been , however , that the llrst
convention oa the list absorbed the Interest
ns well as the bulk of the money , und the
last ones on the program fared iho worst.
To obvlnto this feature the convention
work will bo divided next year , the Mission
ary society , the Ministerial association
and the Christian Women's Board of Mis-
slons holding their conventions Jointly at
Bethany , and the Sunday school convention
and that of the Young People's Society of
Christian Endeavor going to Fatrlleld , the
former mooting on August SO , and the time
for the latter being changed to the last
Tuesday la Juno.
The ofllcers that have boon elected by the
various branches for the coming year are as
follows :

Constablo"Bloiulio" Clark is apt to have a
lot of grief over his report that the occu
pants of a house out near the Nebraska In
stitute for tbo Deaf trloil to sot IIro to the
place because they had been ordered to move
out by the proprietor for the nonpayment of
rent.
John Howclen , ono of the tenants referred
to , says that ho had paid his rent to the
man from whom ha had secured the house ,
but that the proprietor had not been paid.
Then came the trouble ever the ojectmon't
notice. Ho says that there was no effort
or attempt to burn the place. Ho
denies that Clark was in the
house the day the stove exploded
and nearly burned the placo. Ho donlcs
that any kerosene was used in the house to
sot a Uro and promises to inako it very warm
for Mr. Clark. Howdon says that Clark
recently took a horse from his barn under
false pretenses tiud that hu has commenced
prosecution against him and that tint story
told by Clark was simply to Injure llowdon
in return for the horse episode.
