The Dorian trial reached Us second stnRO
today when thostnto flnlihcil Its case nml
the defense brought out its own witnesses.
The cnso continues to bo listless as far as
popular Interest is concerned. The Lincoln
dally papers , with one exception--the News
carefully refrain from making nny refer
ence to the orldonco offered by the state ,
nnd from four to ton lines In nti obscure col *
timn each day Is all that their readers look
to for Information In regard to the caso.
The most Important testimony offered by
the state commenced yesterday. Amonq the
witnesses yesterday wat Fred Haco , the
bookkeeper at the asylum during Governor
JJoyd's administration. Mr. Haco Identified
Morgan's signature to warrants and
Touchers. Another witness was W. C. Mc-
Dormand , a B. & M. conductor , who testified
ns to the dates when ho hauled cars loaded
with coal to the asylum switch. Ex-Super-
Intcndont Knnpp identified his aigmituto on
the original voucher and testified that the
coal used In the boiler rooms was shipped to
the asylum In carload lots , while tlio coal
lor use In the kitchens was brought out In
wagons.
Ilnndnll on the Stnnit.
The nbxt witness was W. M. Hand all , who
figured somewhat prominently in the im-
jtcachmont trial , and upon whom the attor-
nnys for the stttto rolled for some of their
most damnclng testimony. IIo Is now n
resident of Valley county , bJt formerly lived
In this clly , and whlln hero was employed by
Dorgan to haul coal from the cars on the
BByliim switch to the institution. IIo testi
fied thut ho was In Dovpan's ornploy during
the mon thsof.luly and August.lSUI , two ot the
mouths In which sumo of the alleged frauds
were perpetrated. IIo refreshed his mem
ory by a frequent reference to the sarno
memorandum book which was so conspicu
ous In the Impeachment trial hint May. In
thin book ho had kept a record ofovory
par of coal taken to the switch and unloaded
by himself , together with the capacity of each
car , as Indicated by the figures painted
on the car. On cross-oxainlnaiion ho gnro
the numbers of cloven cars which ho had
unloaded , and stated that to the host of his
knowledge ho was the only man unloading
coal nt the asylum switch during the two
months referred to. Ho stated further that
the cars averaged about seventeen and ono-
lialf tons.
Dr. Hay , the present superintendent of the
Institution , took the stand to testify as to
the number of boilers In use at the in-
ntltutlon. Tlio state endeavored to show by
this witness the difference In the amount of
coal consumed during the summer months
of the year 1891 and the corresponding
months of the present year , but the defense
interposed a strenuous objection. The court
sustained the objection.
Unltitrrcfttlnc Testimony.
This forenoon the state had but little tes
timony to offer to complete Its caso. H. C.
Merrill , a clerk in the ofllco of the \Vliito-
breast company in this city , was fiist
called to the stand. The state endeavored
to identify through this witness Dorgan's
Ignaturo to the warrants , but ho could not
ay whether the signature shown him was
Dorgan's or not.
A. II. Berry , forcnian of the B. & M. car
department , testified ns to the capacity of
the cars on his road. Their capacity , ho
eald. ranged from 40,000 to OO.OUU pounds.
The cars shipped to the asylum contained
from 80,000 to 40.000 pounds. G. K Mexiss-
nor. a.bank clerk , was shown Dorcan's sig
nature to the warrants , but was unable to
Identify It.
With this witness the state rested its case
and the court took an adjournment until
afternoon.
T. II. Bontou. ex-auditor or public ac
counts , was the first witness placed on the
stand by thu defense this afternoon. lie
described at length the methods of the
Board'of Public Lands and Buildings. Ho
was shown a largo number of vouchers ad
mitted by the court on behalf of the defense
yesterday. Some of thcso were for supplies
furnished to the Soldiers Homo at Grand
Island. Mr. Ilouton pointed out the fact
that the Soldiers Homo vouchers contained
no line beneath the items charged for upon
which the party furnishing the supplies
could sign his name , certifying that the ac
count was correct and unpaid.

RATE CUITING SOON EXPECTED TO BEGIN
Ileply of the Ro.til to the Proposition of
" the AVoitorn I'.moncor Atioolntlon
for n Conference Other Ilall-
roncl Noiv Moles.
CIUCAOO , Oct. 2T. The Union Pacific
today replied to the proposition of the
Western Passenger association committee
asking for a conference on the question of
immigrant business. The reply Is ovaslvo ,
and has doao much to strengthen the sus
picion that the road has already made con
tracts with Immigrant agents. The Union
Pacific says it Is In full sympathy with the
wishes and alms of the committee , but it
cannot do anything on the Immigrant bus
iness until the association has brought overall
all the other transcontinental linos. The
matter of the conference is evaded , for no
date Is given as to when it will bo con
venient for the receivers to receive the com
missioners. The result of this stand may
lead to lively limes In passenger business as
soon ns the rush of trafllo , which Is now
falling rapidly. Is out of the way.
The Central Trafllc association lines have
not yet finished their vote on the proposition
to extend the time of sato of World's fair
ticKets to November. The time Is almost up
tvnlch will allow the filing of rates with the
Interstate Commerce commission , nnd If the
votes nro not a little swlftor in coming in
the lines will have to make the rate on their
own responsibility.
Laughed nt the Threatened Suit.

of the Wabash , about bringing suit on behalf
of several World's fair hotels against the
rallroids , because they did not reduce rates
early la the season , and thereby Kept the
nooplo from coming to the fair and caused
financial loss to the hotels , is laughed at
.by railroad mon , Some of them declare
that If the hotels bring suit they will
return the compliment by claiming damages
from the hotels for keeping the people by
their high prices from patronizing railroads.
Only ono railroad man would talk of the
matter In a serious way and ho swore nt it.
An appeal hr.s been taken from the ruling
of Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas
senger association that ho had the right to
announce all votes talccn when the ballot
was divided so that any line desiring to

I'UUSIDKMT FISH'S VISIT.
Kevlvnl of n Humor of nn Illlnoli Central
Uttcnslon.
The visit of President Stuy vosant Fish of
the Illinois Central to Omaha at this partic
ular time revives the talk ot giving the
Illinois Central an Omaha connection or
building the road on the east side of the
Missouri from Onawa , la. , and effecting an
entrance Into the metropolis by crossing the
East Omaha bridge.
When the branch line of the Illinois Cen
tral was built from Cherokee to Onawa , a
distance of some sixty miles , it was gener
ally agreed that Omaha must bo the ob
jective point of the big system ; but lor sev
eral years the talk has died out on account
of the lack of facilities to cross the Missouri ,
either at Onawa or Omaha. The building of
the East Omaha bridge , however , has ob
viated the difficulty , and It Is pretty well
known tbo Illinois Central people have had
their eyes ou Omaha ever since the brldgo
was a certainty.
Although accompanied by the younger
members of the family Mr. Fish , It Is as
serted , drove out to the Omaha bridge
Thursday to inspect the slto and generally
look ever the situation.
Onawa is practically on the Missouri river ,
nnd it would not require more than sixty
ratios of traclr to get the Illinois Central into
this city and glvo Omaha another rail con
nection with the east and south , a connec
tion which has long been needed.
It is thought that could the Nebraska Cen
tral people have floated their bonds last fall
the Illinois Central would have used the Ne
braska Central bridge , giving the road en
trance into the most central part of the ally ,
and by trafllc arrangement with the Ro-
braska Central could have easily gained
access to South Omaha.
Mr. Stuyvesant Fish and party left for On
awa yesterday morning via thoElkhorn in his
special car , and will go from there to Cherokee -
okoo and Chicago via the Illinois Central.

BLOOMINOTOS , 111. , Ooti 87. General John

ceiver of the Wabash system of railways ,
has been retained by < vvpral of the syndi
cates who built and operated hotels in the
vicinity of Jackson parlkt , Chicago , during
the World's fair to commence suits against
the various railroad companies for damages ,
making unique allegations.
General McNult says : "Tho railroads in.
the Western Passenger association that op
posed the reduction of passenger rates to
the World's fair nro liable for losses by
hotels and other places of entertainment by
reason of the custom biSlng kept away from
Chicago by the high rates , The right to re
cover damages extends to all persons In or
near Chicago who were prepared to entertain
In nny way visitors to the fair , but most
clearly to those who built hotels and other
places of accommodation near the fair
grounds. "
The general holds that the conduct ot the
World's fair transportation committee , or
some of its members , and a representative of
the railroad association was collusive In its
character , and amounted to conspiracy in
law , but not In fact , to pVovcnt the reduction
of passenger rates to whloh the public and
