Frank Trumbull. who was recently ap- nolnted receiver of the Union Pacific , Denver A Gtilf railway , arrived In Omaha at 4 o'elx-k yesterday -attcrnoon In his special car. lie was accompanied by General Superintendent Dsuol. Assistant General Freight Agent Wild nnd Private Secretary G.tlbroth. Mr. J'rinnhull and his companions surveyed the Omaha union depot with thinly disguised looks of supreme disgust , nnd then walked across the viaduct nnd to Union Parlllo hcntUfiartcrs , whuro they wcro closeted with General Manager Dickinson until 7 o'clock. The discussion was evidently ono of keen Interest , ns Mr. Dickinson ac companied Mr. Trumbull to the Douglas street entrance of the Millard hotel and con tinued the thread of tlio convei'sation be neath the dim rays of an electric light which was vainly struggling to penetrate thu dense fog.Recoiver Receiver Trumbull , In response to ques tions propounded to httn bynUr.B represen tative , expressed nls views as follows : ( iull IntrrmtH Will lln Mil do Hrparalr. ' The object of my present trip to Omaha is lo confer with tlio Union Pacific receivers and arrange for the transfer of the prop erties of the Union Pacific , Denver tt Gulf , which will bu operated entirely Inde pendent of the Union Pacific proper. Thu accounts wljl bo kept separate , nnd as to billing iiiTingcmonts , they will bo made later. I will have n conference with Re ceiver Anderson tomorrow. Within a few days a general order will bo Issued. As to Us contents I am not at liberty to talk at this time , " "When will the transfer bo made , Mr. Trunibull ? " queried the reporter. "Next Monday , In all probability , Mo tlmo wll ! bu lost to arrange matters , It Is my desire lo have things moving under the now regime as soon as possible. " ' "Denver will bo the headquarters of the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf road , will It tnot ! " was nskcd. Ill IIIMITwr. "Yes , " replied Kccclvcr Trumbull without hesitation. "Tho auditing douartmont nf the Gulf system , which is now in Omaha , will bo removed to Denver within two weeks. The general offices of the company will ho located at Denver. In Just what building 1 am not now prepared to state , as 1 have several locations under advisement. I have estab lished temporary headquarters in HID union depot : it Deuvcrin rooms I ami' ' on the second Jloor. The onicial roster of the company , which wilt be reorganized as soon as possible , will consist of a general manager , general superintendent , treasurer , auditor , heads of tne law , passenger and freight departments , surgeon and assistants , and in fact tliCj same official positions as existed prior to the- absorption of the road by the Union 1'acitic.

It is possible that we may bo able to complete reorganization by January 1 and start in with the now year.

' As to tlio future policy of the road 1 dcsiro to state that I shall endeavor to place it on a paying basis. The equipment is in first-class shape. 'Hie mileage of the svs- | lcni embraces 1,003 miles of good track and 'I sue no reason why I cannot succeed in my desire. As to the length of time that the receivership will exist , that is indefinite. I iMiinol speak knowingly thereof at this time. air. Triiinhiill'x 1'mvrrn.

KANSAS OITY'n ( Slt.VIM MAIIKKT. Unlit Up Only liy llallroiul Kiivur Omiitin Klfvattir .Mini Tnlkn. Mr. E. A. Peck , assistant manager and secretary of tlio Omaha Elevator company was interviewed yesterday as to the claims made by Kansas City grain men thut Kansas City would bo affected ll.UOO.OW ) bu shels per annum by tlio new Hurlington rato. Mr. Peck speaking of the claims advanced , said : "For years Kansas City has enjoyed a differential against. Omaha to the em barrassment of tliis city. It has been eating nt the crib to the exclusion of every other town that has had "any pretentious to rise above itself m matters of business. ivan- sas City has been a favorite with the rail roads and it. has gradually improved its op portunities under those favoraolo conditions with the result lhat it now claims to be con siderable of a grain center. The city has more elevators than Omaha , but the facts arc that Kansas City sells less grain than Omaha even under tlio advantageous rate which prevailed previous to December 10. As an example of what they are doing in Kansas City I have only to read the eleva tor reports for the twenty-four hours end ing December 1" . which show tliat they had la store corn lo the amount of 1S.41S bushels , less than thirty cars. Now wo carry in our elevators in the neighborhood of r > 00,000 bushels , upon which wo carry insurance from S'ilO.OO'J to . BO.im , which premiums are paid here. ' Kansas City lias , fry reason of this dis criminationpre-empted three-fourths.of the Brain producing belt of Nebraska , although belonging legitimately to Omaha. Neither is Kansas City the grain market which the grain men of that place would have dealers baliovo , although ii , bus been the dumping ground for grain for several years. "Put Omaha on an absolute equality with Kansas City and I assure you that the Nebraska metropolis will divide honors with Kansas Cit.v. The ro-isons for the position Kansas City has assumed in tlio cr.iin markets of the country is found in the"fact that they hnvo succeeded in manipulating eastern rates with their low local rates as against Omaha. They have more eastern connections than we , which gives them advantages over us not commensurate , however , . , with the amount of business liandleJ , " .lust lo show you the inequitable posi tion Oinalia has been compelled , to oscupy by reason of the disurhninution against it , tin ) following facts may bo interesting. In all the territory north of Columbus on thu union Pacific , Kansas City is able to meet Om.iha rates by reason of the differential in her favor ; from Marysvillo , Kan. , to Colum bus the conditions uru the same as they are the same from Marysvillo to Grand Island. This , however , is now wiped out by the aetion of the St. .loo and Cirand island following the lead of the Burlington , hut it is not wiped out b ; , the Union Pacific from Marysvillo to Columbus , Norfolk , Cedar Rapids und Al bion. "Tim vast benefits accruing to Kansas t'ity have be ; n through their out rates to ( nicago ; ind St. Louis , having tlio local rates to work on. "Of course wo Itnow that the Burlington road did not raise this rate because of any love for Omaha , but because it wanted to protect its Chicago line and secure the long haul. However , it is to Omaha's advantage that the raise is put in force nnd all we can do is to hopu that the Burlington people will have backbone enough to light it out.1 Chili-Ken tvltli Hum The Missouri Pacific is now in thu sweat box , tlio Northwestern having charged that road with cutting n r.tto on 8UOW ) pounds of glut'osc from Philadelphia , consigned to Farrell - roll & Co. , before the association of "high Joints , " whiih meets weekly In F.

The cases in the fed eral district court hero against the U'ab.isli and Lackawanna railroads , in the form of indictments against representatives of these systems under the Interstate commerce law , came to a sudden termination late tonight. After a whole day spent in technical argu ment and fighting ngalnst evidence by the defendant's lawyers .ludgo Phillips , In n rul ing , declared the Indictment defective , In that it made use of the name American Drake company , a branch of the Westinghouse - house company , as consignor , whllo the bills of lading , pitm evidence , showed tlio ship ment to have been made bv the Westinghouse - house company. After hearing this ruling District Attorney Reynolds staled to tbo judge that It was Impossible to go on and that Instructions for iifiUittal ] might as well be given to tlio Jury. This was done , and the first of the five famous cases fell to thn ground with a .parting shot from Judge Phillips , who severely criticised the Inter state Commerce commission and Its attor neys for carelessness , not only in the Instar.eo referred I'j , but in others m which tna railroads in question are designated by names which they have not legally borne for years. Ttio other four cases tire to bo Ill-ought up , but a similar result is expected With regard to the objections raised yes- tcrdny by the defense to admission of the Wabjsli tariff sheet In evidence , Judge Phillips refused to allow the Introduc tion of the different schedules for the present , on the ground that the schedules were not o"ldcnco of thol existence of a Joint agreement between the parties , but allowed the government to Introduce the necessary oral evidence us to the existence of such agreement between the two companies. Should this oral testi mony bo sunioient of value , ho promised to nllow the placing of the schedule in evidence later. The most important testimony developed today was that of .1. A. Williams , cashier of tbo American Urako company , who testified to paying the full rate nn n Khlpmont and afterward receiving back a robito of U cents per 100 pounds , a total of $ ; i,0'Jt being re turned. It wns during this witness' evidence that thu point was made which resulted in the ruling noted in the introduction. Vtlllll til I'lX tllU ItlltCK. CHICAGO , Dec. 14.

There is 'genuine hope for the American drama so-.long as'Siich ' plays "Friends'1 are Writtmii ' While the story-is. Jiiotuny more original thai ! a score of plays that have scc.i the liuht in tlio past dozen years , it is de lightfully unconventional. There are breezy dialogues , the humor is fresh and crlsinnl , in line , it is a "brainy" effort by a young American , who shows in this , his maiden effort , the dramatic instinct , which , eon pled with literary ability , is bound to win Edwin Milton Koylo n place in the annals of Amer ican dramatists. "Friends" is reminiscent of "Our Boys" In part , but only in the association of two young men who buffet the waves of adver sity and who rise eventually on the topmost crests of success. There is a genuine Nor man flavor about the devotion of these two nineteenth century knights , and the auditors at Boyd's lasl evening went homo with more generous ideals than they have had in many a longtime. Now nnd then Mr. Uoylo shows the amateur playwright in his situa tions , but it lias been a very long .time since two stronger curtains have oaen seen on the local stugo than in the second and third acts of "Frlondif. " In point of mlso en scone , in line detail and in the legitimate leading up to tlio clijnaxcs , Mr. Rovlo shows u profound appreciation of the French school. Ho has been a student of Mollcro and Sardou , and ho has unconsciously absorbed the best methods of these great masters of strong situations , jn addition to a most ciiarmlug per formance , tbo pleasure of the evening was still further enhanced by the piano numbers by I uclus Hcmlfcrson , who plavs one of tlio -boys , " Adrain Karjo , aud plays the part witlv excellent appreciation of Its possibil ities. It was a novelty to hear in n comedy- drama No. li of the "Hungarian Rhapso dies , " by Liszt , and the beautifully written "Pasquinade" by Gottsohnlk-Joseffy. The youug actor showed considerable technique in the rendition of tha numbers , playlug the "Pasquinade" with excellent fooling. .Tacir Paden , jr. , tlio young fellow with a penchant for making verses and the literary end of the firm of Knrjo & Padun is played by Mr. Roylo himself , the only wonder at the performance being that so clover nn author could make so good nn actor. While inclined to heroic sometimes , as n whole , the impersonation was finely finished , although ho has unconcernedly given to Jack many of the clover lines of tlio play ; but in this hu Is pardonable , for the llnej are good , which cannot bo said of some of the plays thut have had more pretentious beginnings than "Friends. " Selena Kotter.Ro.ylo. as the warm-hearted actress. Marguerite , made a fine impression in n part that fits her perfectly. She Is n conscientious player whoso work is always clean cut. Probably the strongest bit of character work seen on the local stage in years is that of Ed Lyons in the role of Hans Otto , the opium fiend. Itis a terribly roitlistia portrayal sending a thrill of genulno horror through the body that men can possibly roach such degrading levels , flurry Allen Is delightful in the part of tin ) crusty old father of Jack , playing it with a broezlness that made n favorable im pression with the audience , Henry Horaman , an excellent actor , plays the cool , calculating arch plotter with ability , his scene in the third net stamping him as superior actor , Carrie Borg makes a most lovable "little mother , " while Miss Uiulso Wakolco , In tliu small part of Miss Wolko. gives evidence of a comudy vein that should bo strengthened by the author-actor with u few moru lines , The play was received splendidly , and people who are of a literary turn of mind cannot pass a more.delightful evening than in the company of "Friends , " Nuw * for tlio Army.

Thcro wcro u number of ladles present , but Mrs. Monson was not among them. MuNaughtou , the gunmakcr , upon cross- oxaminatlon admitted tliat , reuardlnt ? the roInUvo'Uosltlon.of the body and the trees , lin was dependent for his Information upon Messrs. Whylo and Ciirmlchacl. An Important portion of the evidence con sists in deductions from the examination of the.skiill nnil from photographs of the head of llio deceased. Counsel said that hu was unwilling to ask that the skull bo brought Into court , and for purposes of cross-exam ination asked leave to use another skull. Atmcftt The cross examination was long and severe and during its course MoNaughton said thai tlio gnxn-6 in the skull was caused by scattered shot , The marks on the trees spread in consequence of the impact of the pellets. The fractured skull , the witness continued , was caused by four pellets which wcro found In Lloutonarit Hamurough's head. Witness also said that the charge nearly missed Lieutenant Hambrough and that the four pellets iilono killed him. McNnughton admitted that ho , under the supervision of the doctors , experimented upon three dead bodies at the Edinburgh morgue. Ho flred shots at thcso boalcs in nn oblique direction. Witness llrcil us llio doctors directed and they placed him In position. Photographs taken showed the effects of the shots. Counsel Did JyoU see the effects ot your experiments on the body ? Witness I did not look , Counsel Well , I don't wonder ; it was a ghastly job. The cross-examination produced a sensa tion in court. Witness ndtnlttcd that no one was present on behalf of the prisoner during thu experi ments already referred to. This caused a buzof excitement throughout the court room. * The next witness was Dr. Liltlojohn and ho gave a mass of technical testimony de scribing the postmortem examination , say ing thai ho believed , that the gun which killed Lieutenant IftunbiMugh wns llrod nine foot from the deceased. It was impossible , the witness continued , tlinl llio injuries in- llietcd upon tlio deceased were thu result of an accident. Dr. McMillan , who made out the certitl- catcs of accidental death , and who wrote to the Mutual Ltfo Insurance company of Mow \ork that the lieutenant died by Ills own hand , testitled that .after so doing ho con cluded ho had bocu to hasty. Mr. MacLean , district manager of the Mutual Life Insurance company , testified Mr. and Mrs. Mpn'squ , called upon him and ' ' said it young ge'nllc'man who was coming into a fortune of jEiUO,000 wished to pur chase an estate , and tliat Mrs. Monson was going to advance h'lm ' va,000 ! nnd wanted to insure L.icutenant HaaAbrough's life for the same amount , in order to cover the'advance.

It was during a general quarrel among a number of families on July 4 , 1892 , that Frank Helmstotter.agod 20. received a knife wound from which .ho died , and linglo and Joseph Zappc , brothers.

The court room was crowded today during the Prondcrgnst trial , many ladles being amons the spectators. Prcndorcrast was nervous and 111 at case when Carter Harrison , jr. , came Into the room with his wlfo and his sister , Miss Sophie Harrison. The l.itteiMMis called to tlio witness stand and her testimony was civcn with great effort as she told of the murder of her father. A number of other witnesses were examined , but their testi mony developed nothing now. Tlio prosecution rested its c.iso with tno evidence of the physicians , who produced In court the hullcu which wcro tired into the Ood.v of Mayor Harrison. The Ilrst wit ness for tlio defense was Mrs. Helen Pron- dorgast , mother of the prisoner. Hrr ovl- Icnco was wholly in support of the insanity theory. She said that about the lime ho was merging from boyhood Into manhood she saw wllli some consternation that thorn was a marked change in his disposition and that ho became a recluse , devoting himself to books nnd avoiding all forms of outdoor diversions common to boys. She said he often talked foolishly about bolng made corporation counsel and grew furious when she sug gested that tin was not tit. to hold the posi tion. Shu testified that ho had a bad fall when a child in which he had struck Ins head so severely ns to Injure his oyeskht. Ill-other Ualdwin , tbo director of a Catho lic school which Prendergastntlomled , testi fied that ho had considered the prisoner demented - montod not crazy enough to necessitate conllnomcnt , but lee crazy to bo an agree able companion. His opinion was formed more from the prisoner's actions and manner than from anything ho said. During tlio cross-examination of Mrs. Prondergast by Attorney Trudo the pris oner lost Ills temper nnd exclaimed : "Trudc. you are a scoundrel to talk to my mo In IT that way. " The attorney wns , however , doing nothing out of the way. COUUIIM.VS TKIAI. , Ycstonln.v' * Testimony In tlio Cololirutcil iMiirdrr CIIRC , CIIICAOO , Doc. 14. The prosecution in the Cough tin case devoted its energies largely today to unraveling the mystery surround ing the story of the wagon In which Cronin's remains wcro said to have bcon carried from Die Carlson cottage to the catch basin. Policeman Stolb testified that ho was on duty on the night of May 4. He was called to testify to having seen the mysterious wairon , but his evidence was stroncly ob jected to by Judge Wing. The objection was overruled , however , and the witness stated that at 11 o'clock on the night in question ho saw three men in n carpenter's wagon drawn by a buy horsu. In the wavon was a largo trunk. lin was unable to dcscrlblo the occupants of the wagon. The ve hicle at the time was going in the direction of the catch basin where the body was afterwards found.

The professor was exceedingly anxious to talk to newspaper men , but his wife would not permit it. Mrs. ( loertleler said she bud obtained the urofessor's release from an insane asylum at Chemnitz through the intercession of Presi dent Cleveland According to the profes sor's story , hia trouble with the emperor of Germany dates back to ISG'J , when ho was lieutenant in the Prussian army. Ho was dismissed by Uismarck because ho pos sessed the knowledge of a shipment of arms bv the great chancellor to tlic southern con federacy in America. Tlio Impression of ' .ho professor has been that Hismuivlc fol lowed him to this country and endeavored to ruin him .socially here. His appeal to the emperor being unanswered , he threatened to challenge him unless Uismarck was pun ished. The professor started from this country about two years ago , doclnring his intention to challenge the emperor and was arrested on his arrival , examined and de clared Insane , and slncu that lime has been confined In an asylum.
