DECREE IS ENTERED BY JUDGE MUNGER

irmliur 1 , Next. , I
The Union Pacific Railroad company and
the Western Union Telegraph company must
tcparato their business connections by Sep
tember 1 next. Such was the order issued
hj Jinlgo Mungcr In the United States court
yesterday morning. That , too , was the eub-
Ktancu of the decision by Judge Brewer , ex
cept in the extension of the tlmo In which
the decree was to become effective.
The attorney evidently anticipated the
nature of the decision , for the moment Judge
Mungcr called up the case and before ho
hail tlmo to mnko a sttrt on the decision ,
Judge Kelly , for the railroad company ,
asked leavu to read a letter ho had just
received trom New York. Ho said It sug-
gcalcd matters which Lad not occurred to
him at the luno the arguments were being
made last Monday , and as the attorney for
the receivers of the Union Pacific road ho
lelt It his duty to Inform the court of all
tUo conditions and comp'lcatlons ' which may
the busl-
nrlsu from a decision separating
iitss of the two corporations.
Mr. Sawyer , for the government , promptly
l < opposed the reading of the letter , but the
court consented to the reading and Judge
Kelly continued. The letter was from an as-
elstant counsel for the road living In New
York In which he gave in detail a conversa
tion recently held by the manager of the
Postal Telegraph company and some of the
receivers of the Union Pacific road. The
fUbjcct of the conversation was the request
by the telegraph company for permission to
connect Its wires with the wires of the rail
road company that a through line might be
perfected by the Postal company. The point
raised by Judge Kelly , after reading the let
ter , was that If the segregation of the two
companlco became an accomplished fact , the
difficulty the receivers of the road would en
counter would be their Inability to furnish
the accotnmodatlono demanded by this tele
graph company.
WKSTI3UN UNION POSITION.
Hush Taggart of New York , attorney for
the Western Union Telegraph company , then
addressed the court and In his talk the first
evidence of the business rivalry between the
two great telegraph companies was made
manifest. He said the Postal had made n
nlmllar proposition to the railroad company
In February , 1880 , at which time the rall-
roj.d offered to receive and transmit all mes-
sngfs offered , the same a.a was done toward
other parties nnd compacts. This , Mr. Tag-
gart said , was not satisfactory to the Postal
company , which demanded wlro connection
over the entire system.
Ilelng denied this Mr. Taggart asserted
that the Postal company was then Instrumen
tal In having the bill Introduced In con
gress ) which resulted In the decree ordering
the segregation of the Western. Union and
the Union Pacific companies. He said the
\Vcstrrn Union owned the larger per cent
of the property along the line connected
with the telegraphic department , and that If
It removed Its property the railroad would bo
without facilities to do a commercial busi
ness. If the property were allowed to icrnaln
os contemplated In Judge Hrewcr'e decree the
rnllroid could make a contract with the Pos
ill tal company , whereby It could use the prop
erty of Its business competitor to the detri
ment of that competitor.
Mr. Taggart asked that a footnote bo added
to the decree which ho anticipated was com
ing , providing for a referee to lake an In
ventory of the property and to decide to
which company It belonged , that each might
come' Into poEscrslon of Its own before the
railroad company had authority to make any
aew contracts for telegraphic business.
Judge Mungcr then announced his decision ,
and gave the attorneys until 2 o'clock In the
afternoon to agree upon a decree , falling In
which by that time lie would draw It hlm-
eeli' , The attorneys for the railroad ami
telegraph companies sought to have an
amendment incorporated In the decree giv
ing them the right to appear and present
rcaconj why the time should bo extended if
new conditions arose , but Judge Mungcr
ruled that out , saying that If there were any
reasons why the time .should bo extended
they should bo made known to the court before -
fore September 1 , and they would be passed
upon.
After the case had been disposed of Judge
Kelly was asked what the defendant would
do. He said It WCH difficult to tell at this
time. Ho said It cotiid not appeal from
this decision , although he did not deny the
defendant might find some way to further
delay the action of the decree. Judge Mun-
Ker suggested that the question of adjusting
the property rights of the two corporation ! )
( van a matter which could bo brought before
Judge Con.lsh , special master-In-chancery
in the Union Pacific caaco , by the defendant
Itself.
CONFORMS TO TUB MANDATE.
The decree as finally agreed upon by the
attorneys wan signed by Judge Munger In
i < the afternoon , and simply calls for the dl-
vorri'mrnt of the btmlnefcs ot the two com-
jicnlet > by September 1.
The issues Involved Im the croso-blll filed
by the Western Union Telegraph company
and the supplemental answer by the Union
1'acllic Hallroad company have been re
ferred to Judge Cornish , who will tike testi
mony anil report to the court by August 1.
This Includes the Inventory of the property
owned by the two companies over the Hues
affected by the decision.
Judge Kelly said Judge Cornish would not
bo able to begin taking testimony In this
cnso for at least four wuelw. Mr. Taggart
paid that his company would get the matter
before Judge CcrnUh ns early ns pomlble.
District Attorney Sawyer for tlio govern
ment Is satlrtflcd with the result bo far ac
complished , as the material points asked by
tlio government have beun gained. When
asked what hu thought thu attorneys for the
other sldo would do ho replied , "God only
l.nowa " He Intimated , however , that hu ex-
jiectcd new Hellenics to bo developed which
would sock to secure delay In the fulfill
ment of the decree.

PIIODUCTIVE OP COMPLICATIONS.
W. W. Monseman , attorney for the West
ern Union Telegraph company , aiid that the
carrying out of the mandate of the court
would be productive of complications. In
the first place It would be very dllllcuk to
settle the property rights between the West
ern Union and the Union Pacific companies.
There were a number of wires which were
originally put In by the Western Union and
were subsequently turned over by contract
for the exclusive use of the railroad com
pany. These wlre.j might be claimed by
both companies.
In discussing the general effect of the de
cision , Mr. Morseman said that while It was
undoubtedly supported by the law as It was
passed by congress , It would be damaging
both to the public and to the corporations In
volved. It meant that the railroad company
would bo compelled to put In an entire sys
tern , sufficiently equipped to answer for Its
own business and also for commercial busl-
ner.-i. The Western Union company would
have to take Its equipments out of the rail
road ofilces and locate Independent offices.
The result would be that the telegraph com
pany would only locate offices In towns
where the business was sufficient to justify
It. In the majority of the places along the
line the grofo receipts from commercial
business were less than ? GO a year. In these
townn the railroad company would have to
carry the commercial business under the
now arrangement , and as It had no connec
tions away from Its own lines , the bulk of
the buslncfs would have to be transferred
to the telegraph company at the terminus and
retransmitted , thus compelling the patron
to pay two local tolls Instead of ono through
toll. Whether or not tUo complications
growing out of the separation of the Internals
of the two companies could be adjusted before -
fore September 1 was doubtful and an or
der Increasing the tlmo would probably be
neces-ia' } ' .

The application of Klngman A Co. for a
temporary Injunction rastralnlng the city au
thorities from vacating the alley at the
north end ot the building of the plaintiffs
and restraining the I ) . & M. Hallway com
pany from removing the switch and side
track In the alley at the point on Pacific
street whore It Is constructing Its new depot ,
was denied yesterday by Judge Scott , and
the restraining order Issued about three
weeks ago In accordance with this applica
tion was dUsohcd. An effort will be made
by Klngman & Co. to appeal from the ruling
of the court and to contlnuo the restraining
order In force pending the appeal. This
matter will bo argued at a future time , but
the leading attorneys at the bar of this dis
trict ngrco that under the practice of thU
court a restraining order cannot be super
seded and that the vacation of the a'lcy and
removal of the tracks In quretlon cannot be
prevented.
In passing upon this case , Judge Scott dis
cussed at great length the points Involved ,
the delivering of the opinion occupying over
in hour. lie said that equity and justice , In
his opinion , demanded that the vacating of
nn alley should bo restrained. The opin
ions of other courts were quoted at length
in support of this position. On the other
hand , the court said that the rulings of thu
Nebraska supreme court on this point were
directly to the contrary and the finding of
the court was based on these rulings.
Tlu < court room was filled with attorneys
and the statements of the court were lls-
t'-ned to with the closest attention. When
the delivery of the opinion was concluded At-
inrney Melntosh for Klngman & Co. , askud
the court to fix the amount of the
supersedeas bond , but this was opposed by
Attorney Qrecno for the Burlington and the
court announced Unit arguments on this
point would bo heard at a later date.
Mr. Greene stated that the B. & M. would
go ahead with Its work of constructing the
new depot , es ho regarded the restraining
order dissolved in accordance with the de
cision of the court.

tilVINRTHI : : TAXPA VI3IIS A HEARING.
PreHlileiit llliiulmni of the Opinion
that CltlxeiiN Should He CoiiHiilted.
Some of the members of the city council
are discussing the ideaof holding Informal
sessions of the council At regular Intervals
at which the taxpayersv-wlll be Invited to be
present and dlscussi municipal questions with
the council. The plan was suggested by
President Blngham , who believes that this
would result In bringing the council -into
closer touch with the people the members
represent. President1 Bmgham calls at
tention to the fact that It is frequently dim-
cult to discover the sentiment of the tax
payers on many propositions that come be
fore the council , as they are very apt to
wait until after a > measure has become a
law before they express their dissatisfaction.
The fact that the regular committee meet
ings nro held In the aftctnoon prevents busi
ness men from attending them unless they
are directly Interested in some matter under
consideration. President BUjgham sug-
gcsto that If the council should' meet on a
regular evening once a week or once each
two weeks and the taxpayers could be In
duced to come out and express their vlewa on
municipal questions the result would be bene
ficial to all concerned. The matter will soon
be brought up officially nnd the suggestion
is likely to be endorsed by the other council-
men.
President Blngham alsu suggests that an
Informal meeting of all city officials should
bo called very soon to discuss the new char
ter and familiarize the officials with Its pro
visions. The charter has been so amended
that there Is scarcely on ofilcial In the city
hall who pretends to be entirely familiar

quefited In South Omaha , and ono In Coun
cil Bluffs. Under the present ordinance the

until after .ho has completed a purchase , and
the man often wanted has cucaped.

MEETING OF THE LOCAL PASSENGER MEN
Tnkc Slop * to Perfect nn OrKniiUnllon

I IIIK Stirctilittloii on the
| SccriMur > Milp. ,
The first rncetltif ? of the loral passenger
association of Omaha and Council llluffs
since the adoption of the local agreement
prepared l > y officers of the Western 1'afscn-
ger association was held yesterday In the
United States National H nk building. All
lines were represented except the Union Pa-
cine , the . paesciiRer department of which
road , acting under the advice of the legal
department. Is etlll holding aloof from all
tralHc associations. The Milwaukee road was
represented for the first time.
J. 11. Reynolds , city passenger and ticket
ngcnt for the llurllngton , presided over the
nicotine. The object of tt-o meeting was to
elect n permanent secretary , but the object
was not accomplished. After nearly two hours
of fruitless dlsciwslon , the meeting ntljonrned
until this morning , when another at
tempt will be made to elect a secretary. A
careful Inquiry Into the ex'atlng condition
warrants tlio belief that today's meeting
will bo ns Ineffectual , en far as the election
of tlio one salaried officer Is concerned , as
wag yesterday's session.
With the local nhsoclation , familiarly
called "tho low Joints , " n secretary was se
lected from the local railway circles. Kor
the consideration of $25 a month he called
meetings of the association , and by the aid
of a number of sleuths kept tab on the Ir
regular tickets nnd reduced rates that were
offered about town. Tlio dut'es ' of this oinco
were attended to outelilo the regular rail-
rend work of the secretary. For the past
few years James W. Jlunn , assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Kllthorn rund ,
has been the secretary of the local asso
ciation.
With the reorganisation of the local as
sociation has sprung up a desire to have a
secretary omplojed to watch the ticket mar
ket and to preside over the deliberations of
the "low Jolnti' " who shall bo able to de
vote bis entire time and attention to the
work. Nearly every other large city In the
Western Passenger association's territory
employs such an olllccr , who on his elec
tion to the secretaryship has resigned what
ever other position ho may have held. It Is
felt by a number of the local railroaders
that the ticket market could bo guarded
from , evil prajllces more cfllclently by a man
who could give his whole tlmo to the work.
The salary of the now ofllco will bo about
$123 n month. It Is stated th.it , although
Mr. Munn made ns efficient a secretary as
one holding another position could , tin-re
wete numerous cascs of irregularities In the
Omaha ticket market and many mere In the
Council Ululfc market that iMcuncd at
tention anil correction.
Just who the new permanent 6 'crc-lary wll'
be la a dlfflcult matter on which to hazard a
gucs' . It Is pretty certain that Collin K.
Davidson , formerly of this city , and now
secretary of the St. Paul-Minneapolis Local
Passenger absoclatlon , could have the posi
tion If ho wanted It. Hut he has declined to
consider the offer. lie stated yesterday
that ho had accepted the St. Paul position for
a certain term , and unless otherwise pre
vented , would serve out his urn. thera. W.
A. Russell , formerly connected with the
Kansas City association , later assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Chlcapa-Utoat
Western , and more recently the general pns-
scnger agent of the St. Paul & Duluth -
luth , Is frequently mentioned for
fhe place. He Is not engaged
anywhere at present , And Is said to have his
lines out for the local job. He is a pas
senger man of wide experience and Is well
known among the local passenger men.
Harry Dcuel , formerly city passenger agent
of tlio Union Pacific , h thought by some to
bo elated for the position. His name was
mentioned at yesterday's meeting. The
majority , however , appeared to think that Mr.
Uouel'a advanced years would prove a barrier
to his active work as chief detective of the
local ticket market. Another name that was
heard mentioned In railway circles In con
nection with the place was that of Martin J.
Bowling , formerly soliciting passenger agent
for the nurllngton route. No application was
-cceived from him , but there are a number
. ' passenger agents who think he could nil
.ho bill. In other quartern there Is a strong
sentiment In favor of the election of Mr.
Munn to the new peat , provided he would
accept it. The passenger agents who have
suggested names other than his say that
there Is not tlio slightest objection to the
former secretary , hut , while creating a ni > w
position , they favored putting In a man to
fill It who could devote his whole time to the
work.

Union Pacific officials enjoyed laughing at
the exclusive report of a local paper yes
terday to the effect that the raid on the
North llcnd station last week was Instigated
by the company to test the nerve of the night
operator. The report la regarded as most
ridiculous and Is emphatically denied.

COOL SUITS-
For two silver dollars we will sell men's suits coat , vest
and pants made from linen crash in stylish cutaway
sacks , warranted to wash and to wear. These crash suits
are the latest fashionable fad for summer wear. They
are more sensible than some fads that we know of , for
they arc light , washab'c , comfortable , and at the same
time hold their shape. We have a large line of them at
different prices from two to seven dollars and we have
taken all the nonsense out of the prices that usually goes
with such things. This year we will increase our repu \
tation for selling summer stuffs cheaper than any house
on earth by offering fine serge and cheviot coats and
vests for $3.00 and $3,50 and fine white duck pants
with them for 65 cents and one dollar a pair. You
may think that a good pair of duck pants can't be
pro'Uiced for 65 cents , but you'll be likely to change
your mind after you have seen these ,
