Tn the United Stolen circuit court for the
Ninth circuit District Judge IJelllngcr yes
terday granted an application for the ap
pointment of a separate receiver for the Ore-
Bon Hallway & Navigation company , and
named Hdwln McNeil , general manager of
the Iowa Central railroad and one of the
illrcctoni of the corporation , receiver This
appointment Is In line with the Information
exclusively published In The nee several
weeks ago , Mr. McNeil , who Is now In
Portland , will at once enter upon the duties
of his olflce.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany , Including the Oregon Short Llpe , com
prises 2,017 miles of rail and water lines and
has been n very Important Union I'aclflc fac
tor , allowing that system to enter Portland
and the sound country.
The Oregon Hallway & Navigation company
extends from Huntlngton to Portland , a dis
tance of 401 rnllca. Willow Junction to
lleppner , 46 miles ; Ladramle to Elgin , 20
miles ; East Portland to Alblna ,1 mile ;
Lower Cascade to Upper Cascade , C miles ;
Urnatllla to Washington , 201 miles ; FannliiR-
ton to Spokane , CO miles ; Pendleton to Walla
Walln , 47 miles ; Harbuck to Pomeroy , 29
miles ; LaCorsc to Council , B3 miles ; Colfax
to Moscow , 27 miles ; Walla Walla to Dixie
and Dudley , 13 miles ; Wlnona to Scltlce , 47
miles ; Tekoa to Mullan , SC miles ; Wallace to
Durkc , 0 miles , with 932 miles of water lines.
It Is now asserted that J. P. O'Drlen , general
superintendent of the Iowa Central , will
have charge of the operating department
of the Oregon Hallway & Navigation com
pany , and that a number of employes of
the Union Pacific will be given responsible
positions with the Oregon company , Mr.
McNeil having expressed a desire to take
care of as many Union Pacific men as pos-
elble , although the 'auditing department
will probably bo run with a less force
than when the road was formerly an Inde
pendent company before Its amalgamation
with the Union Pacific.
A. Gavin , chief division clerk In Mr.
Southard's department , auditor of pa'scnger
accounts , has accepted the position of chief
clerk of passenger acounts with the Oregon
Hallway & Navigation company when that
road breaks away from the Union Pacific.
Mr. Gavin Is one of the tildcst of the Union
Pacific employes , and has been with the
road quite ten years. In fact , he has teen
nil the roads that now make up the great
system come Into the fold , and he sees
them now breaking away. J. II. Living
ston , chief clerk under A. J. Van Kuran ,
freight auditor , has accepted the position
of chief clerk of freight accounts under
Mr. licnson , who will be the auditor of the
Oregon company. Mr. Livingston Is also
an old timer on the Union Pacific , having
been chief clerk In Mr. Van Kuran's de
partment for seven years , previous
to which lie was for many
years a traveling auditor on the Kansas and
Colorado divisions of the Union Pacific.
As to the order having been given that nil
rolling stock belonging to the Union Pacific
should bo sent east from Portland , Mr. Orr ,
private secretary to the receivers , said that
he could not vouch for the correctness of
the ninjiy. Such would be done naturally
" w
In the event "that the Oregon Hallway ft
Navigation company receive a separate re
ceiver. He stated that the Oregon company
would have quite an equipment to begin
business , but could not specify the number
of engines or cars without going to consider
able ( rouble. .
The application was made by the Farmers
Loan and Trust company of New York , who
reclto that they hold In trust bonds amount
ing to $4,838,000. Interest on which , due In
December , 1S93 , has not been paid.
The complaint states that the complain
ant Is Informed and believes the Oregon
Hallway and Navigation company Is In
solvent and wholly unable to pay Its debts
or obligations ; that the property and prem
ises covered by mortgage constitute very In
adequate securities for the payment of the
amounts due on the said bonds.
In consequence of the embarrassed condi
tion of the financial affairs of the Oregon
Hallway and Navigation company , the com-
plalnant charges that the rights of all par-
tics Interested cannot be fully protected
otherwise than by the judicial sale of the
property covered by the mortgage and this
Is necessary , and asks that this property
and Its appurtenances bo placed under the
control of a receiver.
Edward McN'eill's bonds were fixed at $100-
000 , which will be furnished within a few
days , when Mr. McNclll will take charge * of
the road.

CHICAGO , Juno 25. The Chicago Great
Western road has been beaten In Its fight
to have short line rates to points west of
St. Paul apply through Kansas. City on the
basis of Sioux City rates. The chairman
of the Western Passencer association ruled
that the Chicago Great Western had a
right to inaltc UEO of such short line rates ,
but at a meeting of the Mlnneapolls-St. Paul
Hate Sheet association , at which the Chicago j
Great Western , through an accident , was not j
present. It was decided to Issue the rate
sheet without showlnc the rates In It. The
Chicago Great Western , when It discovered
what had been done , asked a ruling from
the chairman of the Western Passenger asso
ciation finding the Issue of the rate sheet
unauthorized. The chairman has dismissed
this demand on the ground that the Chicago
Great Western should liavo been at the mcct-
Inc In question. That road will make the
rate claimed , Irrespective of whether It ap
pears In the rate sheet or not.
Present relations between the Santa Fo
and the Southern Pacific , so far as passenger
business is concerned , will continue In statu
quo pending1 the decision of President C. P.
Huntlngton of the latter colnpany on a
proposition submitted by President J , W.
Itelnhart of the former for the settlement
of the matters In dispute between the two
companies In response to the claim of the
right of the Santa Fo to apply short line
rates to , San Francisco via Harstow and Los
Angeles. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

A party of Union Pacific officials made a
trip up the Columbia river last week In the
steamboat T. J , Potter , and the result of
that trip has been received at Union Pacific
headquarters with a general statement of
the damage done by the high water.
The water has receded Hufflclently to leave
the Union Pacific tracks exposed along the
shore , and they are In seeming good condition
for being under water so long , between Port
land and Uonnevlllc there are only a few
fllled-ln bridges out , the ballasted track be
ing In fair shape and has been saved along
the riverside by bags of sand placed as a
barricade at short Intervals. No serious
landslides are to bo teen , although In some
places the track 'has completely disap
peared and entirely new roadbed and tracks
I will have to bo built at some places be
tween Umatllla and Portland to connect
{ he tracks tint have withstood the encroach
ments of the river. Superintendent Bax
ter , who was with the party , eaya that the
road between Donnevllle and Portland can
bo entirely repaired In three weeks. In
the vicinity of The Dalles nearly 700 men
are at work blasting the sides of the moun
tains for a new roadbed , and the work of
reconstruction will bo pushed rapidly to
completion.
It Is the belief of the officials that the
Oamneo done by the recent high waters
Mill not amount to so much money as at
first iuppon ° d , although It will run high
Into the hundreds of thousands.
The Northern Pacific has resumed travel
from Portland , and U running through trains

LIBRABY ON THE MOVE.
lly Saturday It Will Huio Ileen Transferred
to the Now Itullillng.
Patrons of the Omaha public library who
neglected to obtain a supply of literature suf
ficient to carry them through the present
week will , have to restrain their thirst for
Intellectual pursuits until next Saturday and
possibly next Monday , The library Is on the
move. Early yesterday morning the doors of
the rooms in the Paxton btock were closed
and a placard Informed the public that no
books would be exchanged until next Satur
day.Then
Then the young ladles who have charge
of the numerous thousands of volumes com
menced to take them out of their cases and
pack them in boxes. The cases themselves
had to bo lowered from the third story
'windows with a block and tackle , as there
was no other way of getting them out of
the building , owing to their Immeiibc size.
In order to avoid confusion and to prevent
an unnecessary delay In reopening the li
brary to the public , the. work of removing
the books Is entrusted to the regular force
of library assistants alone. . . No ono else Is
allowed to handle a book until It Is deposited
In the packing case to which It belongs.
Then the packing cases are transported to
the new building , the case placed In Its des
ignated position and the books put In their
original places. By this method the work
of removing the library Is carried forward
with systematic expedition and no confusion
Is likely to result. When the removal Is a
finished fact the doors of the library will be
again thrown open and the public will bo
served with Its favorlto books with the for
mer facility.
When the library Is finally deposited In Its
permanent home there will exist the neces
sity for at least two additional assistants
upon the working force. The now assist
ants will not be selected until the librarian ,
Miss Jessie Allen , returns from Colorado ,
which will bo within a short time. It IE
then proposed to establish a library trainIng -
Ing school In connection with the library , ,
where parties who desire to become ' .profes
sional librarians may obtain the knowledge
necessary for success. Applicants for posi
tions In the Omaha public library will bo
required to serve six months In the trainIng -
Ing bchool without pay before they will bo
admitted to the regular working force.
The library now consists of between 40,000
and 50,000 volumes , and the acting librarian
stated yesterday that the total number would
be nearer the latter figure. All the books
will be placed on the first floor , together
with the offices and the large reference room.
As the library grows and more room be
comes necessary , the offices will be carried
upstairs. The building has a capacity for
at least 200,000 volumes , but the friends of
the library are enthusiastic enough to be
lieve that the time will come before many
years when the additional ground to the
south of the new building will have to bo
utilized.
The Byron Reed collection of books , coins ,
rare manuscripts and pictures will be placed
on the second floor with the reading room.
The Heed collection will not bo ready for
the public until some time In the fall , as
preparations for Us proper care have not
yet been made. The books deviated to the
library by Mr. Reed number about C.OOO.
many of them being rare works and still
many others first editions of great works
which are rapidly Increasing In value. But
It la nipon the valuable collection of coins
presented to the library , and known all
over the United States as the Reed collection ,
that the library la to bo congratulated. This
collection Is by universal consent awarded
the tlrst place among all the collections In
this ccuntry.
Just Ouo-Ilnir ,
the regular fare , will bo charged 4th of July
excursionists on Union Paclflo lines. See

Cut In Wngci.
To curtail the expenses of the flro depart
ment , on account of a deficiency In the fund ,
with the least possible Impairment of the
efficiency of the department , has been a
puzzling problem to the Board of Flro and
Police Commissioners. It recently presented
two propositions to- the members of the de
partment for them to vote upon In order to
see how the men felt about the matter.
TliCBO propositions were that either the force
or wages be reduced 20 per cent for the next
seven months , beginning with the 1st of
June. The result of this vote was announced
last night as follows : Those In favor of
reducing the number of men , C4 ; In favor
of reducing wages , 4 ; not voting 23. Some
of the firemen who voted to reduce the force
Instead of wages explained that they did
so In hope that the commissioners would
clean out some of the men who seem to
think that a fireman's chief duties are to sit
around the engine house , look pretty and
draw pay regularly , and when n disagreeable
fire occurs shirk unpleasant and dangerous
duties. . But the firemen liked neither propo
sition very well , and last night they pre
sented a petition to the board signed by
eighty-six out of ninety-six members , as
follows : That each member of the fire de
partment take a leave of absence of twenty
days without pay , and If necessary then
for further retrenchment to take an addi
tional leave , said leaves to be given at the
discretion of the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners , and that the chief of the
department be not Included In this propo
sition. This proposition met with favor
from all the commissioners and resulted In
the adoption of the following resolution :
Resolved , That owing to the lack of funds
to maintain the present force , thlity men
of the lire department be laid off duty
without pay each month until further or
ders from the- board , for twenty days each ;
provided , however , that the men In the de
partment be permitted to sleep nt their
engine houses , and , provided further , that
none of the'men laid off leave the city
without special permit from the board nnd
that such men answer all lire alarms when
they are within hearing , and that a failure
to do so shall be cause for dismissal with
out formal trial ; nnd provided further , that
such men shall be under the same rules
and subject to the same discipline as those
not laid off ; provided further , that the
chief , assistant chiefs , superintendents of
lire nnd police alarm systems , engineers
and stokers be not laid off , but suffer a. re
duction In pay. so that such reduction iu
pay shall prorate with the reductions In
the pay of the other members of the de
partment ; provided further , that the com
mittee on men and discipline and the chief
of the lire department determine the men
to be laid off each month.
After the passage of the resolution some
of the firemen made the comment that In
effect the action taken was simply equiva
lent to a reduction In pay , the wording of
the resolution making the lay oft only
nominal.
Charles Kleyla preferred charges against
Officer Prcscott to the effect that the officer
went Into the complainant's yard without
due authority and shot his dog.which was
tied up. The officer will bo given a trial
at the next regular meeting.
The secretary of the Policemen's Benevo
lent association Informed the board that the
gross receipts from the recent picnic at
Blair were $1,738.75. The Board of Educa
tion tendered a vote of thanks to the com
missioners for the cfilclent flro and police
protection furnished on the occasion of the
recent school children's concert at the Fif
teenth Street theater.
Joslah Thomas , George W. Barnes , Peter
Jorgensen , John Leary , Henry Heltfield ,
Ruffus Chamberlln and Henry Christiansen
were appointed on the regular police force
and their appointment dates from July 1.
Ex-Detective Vaughn allowed '
was five days'
pay for the time which he was" entitled to as
leave of absence before his dismissal from
the force a short time ago.
In accordance with a request from the
commissioners , License Inspector Hurst sub
mitted a rpeort regarding sales of liquor In
drug stores. He Inspected sixty-eight drug
stores and found that fifty-five of them
kept a correct record of their sales of liquor ,
while eight did not- Three kept no record at
all and two had not taken out licenses ,
claiming that they sold no liquors. The
board thanked the Inspector for his cooperation
tion and the Information.

BOAKD OF HEALTH.
Dunrnn'n Dumping Plan Adopted Charge *
Agiilimt I.iimloixron Not .suntiiliii > il ,
The absence of Chief Seavey broke the
deadlock In the Board of Health yesterday ,
and the members who opposed the dumping
of garbage Into the river wcro able to carry
their point. The mayor made a desperate
effort to find some trace of the chief of po
lice , but ho had left his office early In the
day and none of his subordinates had the
slightest Idea whether he was In Omaha or
Patagonia.
The garbage question was the first matter
brought up and Health Commissioner Savlllc
offered his former recommendation that the
dump be established at the foot of Daven
port street. Duncan offered a resolution to
the effect that the haulers be allowed to
dump at any point not less than two nnd
three-quarters miles from the city limits ,
providing that the dumping should be so car
ried on as not to constitute a nuisance and
that the written consent of the owners of
the ground be obtained and tiled with the
board.
Savlllo argued that Duncan's scheme was
not practicable because It they dumped ono
or two miles out of the city limits In ono
direction they would be In Iowa and If they
went In the other they would strike South
Omaha. The mayor said that several peti
tions had been presented asking that the
dumping ground be located at the foot of
Popplcton avenue and asked that the matter
be not acted on until the attendance of the
full board could bo obtained.
Duncan fiiade a vehement ppeooh , In
which he claimed that the garbage men had
tried to bulldoze him bi'jauso ho was cr'p-
pled In ono arm , but he hid .insured them
that he was still able to deliver an upper
cut with his left. He p-oposid to keep his
conscience from running down at the heels
even If he had to oreak the othtr urtn , and
called for the question. Tha resolution was
carried , the mayor and Commissioner Sa
vlllc maintaining their fonnir position on
the negative side.
The committee recently appointed to In
vestigate the charges against Inspector Lan-
dergren to the effect that he had used
threatening language to councilman while
lobbying for an additional appropriation for
the Board of Health , recommended that the
charges be not sustained. This brought
Duncan to the front again with his con
science , which he averred would be ma
terially lacerated If he should vote to'ap
prove the report of the committee. He
attacked the Inspector savagely , claiming
that he was an habitual drunkard and unfit
to occupy a position in the employment of
the board. His motion to lay the report
of the committee on the table found no
second and the report was adopted. No
further action iwas taken with regard to Inspectors
specters , and after approving a number of
applications for milkmen's licenses , the
board adjourned.

NEW YORK , Juno 25. How many person
wcro drowned by the capsizing of the tug
James D. Nlchol oft Sandy Hook yesterday
Is not yet known. The excursionists wen
from all over the cast side , from College
Point , from Brooklyn , and even from Hobo
ken , and It Is thought probable that some o
those drowned will never bo reported 01
heard from again. The disaster Is rcn
dcrcd more harrowing by the fact that mos
of the men were married and leave large
families.
The highest estimates In last night's ; dls
patches were probably within the mark , fo
today It Is thought that not less than
thirty-six perished. So far. however , only
seven bodies have been recovered. Those

The pilot house of the tug has washed
ashore at Highland Beach , and so has a
portion of the llfo raft. Among the wreckage
washed ashore at Parkertown are two kegs
of beer.
Captain John Hyde , captain of the Ill-
fated tug , was seen today at the office of
the owner of the tug. He Is a young man ,
25 years of age , and says that he has had a
master's license for the past four years. For
the first time Captain Hyde told the story ol
the disaster :
"You could count but fifty-eight passen
gers on the tug when she left the second
stopping place at Pier 3 , East river. There
were five men In the crew , making sixty-
three all told.
"We had been lying oft Seabrlght at anchor
when the wind began to freshen. We soon
raised anchor , Intending to leave. Wo were
about three-quarters of an hour from shore.
The sea , when we started , was not very
heavy and hardly any spray came on
board. The passengers , thinking that they
might get wet , all crowde'd to the port side.
I asked them to divide up and part take to
the starboard side , but no heed was paid to
my request. The sea was somewhat choppy ,
but not what could be called heavy. Out
side some distance from shore It appeared
much calmer than Inshore. I thought If
we ran out for some distance we would make
better weather. " * AVe were In no apparent
danger , except for the people crowding to
the port side of the boat. I suddenly saw
a heavy swell bearing down upon us , closely
followed by a second one. I called again
to the passengers to take the starboard side
of the boat , but It was not done. The first
sea boarded ua clean over the bow and
nished aft. The second followed closely ,
also boarding us over the bow and washed
down the port side. This was caused by the
heavy list on the boat.
"When the first wave hit us I cried : 'For
God's sake get over to the other side. ' I
pulled the whistle rope then as a signal of
distress and , seeing the great danger , tied
It down. It kept blowing until the Nlchol
went down. After the boat had careened
under the second swell , Al Hammond , a
deck hand , and myself climbed through the
starboard window of the pilot house and
went overboard. I saw a number of people
struggling In the water all around. The
llfo rat was near the spot where the tug
sank and I mndo for It. There were a
number of pasengcrs on It and hanging to It ,
and tholr struggles capsized It. As It went
over I was struck by It and wont down.
When I arose to the surface I managed to
grasp It again. The members of the crew
of the boat. Pilot Raymond Keller , Engineer
John Farrell , Fireman Lew Hockhclm , Al
Hammond and Steward James Fleming wcro
all picked up by the tug Sayro.
"I was at the wheel from the time we left
the dock until the accident occurred. I
slept a short tltno while at anchor , when I
went below for dinner. It has been stated
that I was Intoxicated. I am not a drink
ing man and had touched no liquor what
ever. I do not think the boat was over
crowded and had. the passengers acted as I
told them wo would have coma out all
right. "
