INrOLX. ! Aug. 20. ( Spccla ! . ) A few
wrckn ago Thomas H. Tlbblce made com
plaint before the State Board of Tranporta-
tl.n that all the railroads of the Kta'c ' were
chaiging extortionate rates for local freight.
The answers of the companies were flleil
t few day * later. In Keveral of which the
nu'.lon was made that the complainant be
required to make hia complaint more Kpe-
clf.c The bearing on this motion wa < > held
< oday before the thiee * ecrctarle and Mi-
ecn-e. Wolf , Porter , Cornell and E. P.
f 3ii'h ' of the board. The complainant was
reprosrnted by Cl. W. Merge and Judnc
" \Vhe-eler of this city , while the roads were
rcprczrntc.l by W. II. Sterling for the Elk-
torn and Attorneys Kelhy and Dundy for
the 11. & M. and the Union Pacific. The
argument In support of the motion was con
ducted by uMr. Sterling , who contended that
tbe roads ought to be given the opportunity
to make the reduction without a hearing ,
and that under the complaint there wad no
cpeclficatlou ars to where the charges were
extortionate , and no Indication ao to what
percentage of reduction would be satisfac
tory The complaint , ao It wan drawn ,
struck equally at rat ( for distributing
po nts. special ratc.i and the tegular dis-
tuce rate ; . He thought the roads were
entitled to know what rates were com
plained of before any Investigation was
inadu by the board.
The attorney * for Tibbies argued that a
iip < 'lfc ) complaint would be Impossible , afl
the- rate charged on every commodlt } be
tween nil the elation * ? In the etato would
liave to he set out. They believed that the
beard had authority to Investigate and [
grant general relief , and stated that the
fjTipla'nt ' was drawn In order that there
m. ht be a general investigation. If they
nidde complaint that the ratis on corn or
wheat were too high between Lincoln and
Omaha , the roads would Inflst on having
the evidence confined to thou products beI
tueen these specific points , and bhould the
board order the reduction. It would be of
no benefit to the shippers In the interior of
tb" etate.
After the arguments were finlthcd the
board retired a few moments for dellbera-
tlon and arrived at the decision that the
motion hould be sustained , and the complaint -
plaint be required to state the amount or
per cent of reduction asked for. The neecs-
nary amendment will be made and filed to-
inoriow. and copies of the amended com
plaint will be furnished the railroad com
panies , after which they will have ten days
to Hie answers. This part of the proceed
ing was agreed upon and no formal summon *
will bo required.
The room WSB full of Interested spectators
during the argument on the motion.

LINCOLN , Aug. 20. ( Special. ) A new
method of procedure has been entered upon
In the handling of the Morrll fund for the
School of Mechanic Arts of the University
of Nebraska. Heretofore the amount of this
fund hss been turned over to the university ,
End the accounts against It audited and paid
by the regents. The new practice Is for the
Accounts to be presented to the state treas
urer and approved by the auditor before pay
ment , the same as all other account/ ? against
the state. The law of 1875 made the state
treasurer the treasurer of the university , and
It has been mutually agreed between the
officials of Ihe etate- and of the university
that the accounts against the fund should go
through the regular course.
Some knotty problems In regard to riparian
rights are coming before the State Board
of Irrigation for adjudication , not the least
Intcre-jtlug being a case from Cheyenne
county. A farmer on Pumpklnseed creek
found that In the bed of the stream flowing
across his land there ore a nu/nber of springs ,
nnd he proposes to change or straighten the ;
channel of the creek , so that he can divert
the springs to hid own use , allowing le
natural flow of water that es
from above to pass on down tot
the farmers below him. The latter ,
to
ter , however. object to the pro
ceeding , and claim the right to
USB the water from the springs
ae well as from the creek. Another case
comes from Dundy county , where a spring
on one man'a land flowed down and fur
nished water for a farm a mile distant.
The owner of the latter has enjoyed the
use of thtj water for twelve years , and has
made a regular water right filing according
to the Irrigation law. Now the owner of
the land where the springs are. located pro
poses to use the water to Irrigate his own
farm. In which case there will be none left
for the farm a mile away. The board Is
wked to settle the dispute.
The committee appointed to arrange the
program for the conventions of the fusion
parties has held several meetings and has
agreed that there will be no time to rod !
a parade. It has been arranged that ll < f
speaking will take place at the north ro
tunda of the state capltol during the after
noon of convention day , and If arrangements
can be made for the halls there will be
speaking the evening before convention day.
J-'or the conventions the Funke and Lansing
opera houses will be used by the populUls
and democrats , while the silver republicans
think the Young Men's Christian associa
tion hall will be large enough for their pur
pose.

Admirers of the chalk-lined courts turned
out In goodly numbers yesterday to witness
the second round ot singles and the semi
finals In the doubles of the interstate tennis
tournament. Those who pre-empted the
hard wooden benches were well repaid for
the bodily discomfort suffered , for they wit
nessed a very good cample of racket work.
The play was rapid from start to finish ,
and In the contests In the doubles during
the afternoon was frequently marked by
I .
! ' brilliant work.
i Starting at 10 o'clock , the finishing ol the
j second round of singles was taken In hand ,
J l and pushed through with as much dispatch
as possible. ( No great Interest was cen
tered In thtsc games with the exception
possibly of a longing among the older plujors
to ascertain how Gordon , the tall West
Pointer , would come out. He emerged from
the inlx-up In the best passible thapc. a
winner , ai usual. "Am 1 a * U ? " yelled
some of the small boys at the finish , and
those who know are Inclined to think he Is.
The question now Is Can he beat Austin In

Cullinghara , Omaha , beat Bclfleld , Chicago ,
with u score of 6-3 , 6-2 to his credit. The
Chicago boy kept up a rare article of tennis
at times , but could not keep up the pace
with the Omaha ex-champion. He was tired
out by being driven all over the court.
JOHNSTON A DISAPPOINTMENT.
The last match was pulled off at the afternoon -
!
noon session and was between Austin , |
Omaha , and Johnston. Chicago. The Chicago - i
cage man went down with a dull , sickening i i
hud before the Omaha champion. Austin
ran the score up to five love In each set
\lthout any apparent exertion. He then j
attempted to Jolly his rival along to the |
close , but failed. The score resulted 6-1 , 6-2
or Austin. The outcome of the contest was
evidently a great disappointment to the
.ricnds of the Windy City player ; but ihe
only explanation offered U that he lost Ms
ne-rvo and fell down at the critical point ot
he game. It was confidently expected by
ome that he would prove the dark horse
of the tournament. He Is acco-mted a very
neat player , but against Austin did not
> lay In his usual good form.
Promptly at 4 o'clock the doubles were
: alled. Crosby and lllpley , Hinsdnle , and
'ondee and Roche. Chicago , went at it first j
and furnished the largest proportion of tic j
amusement for the crowd. Itochc. though
voung ! n years , is fast assuming the nays
of a veteran. He Is decidedly a winner
with the crowd , and his plays were frequently -
quently applauded to the echo. Long of j
arm and slender of bodr , he appears to I
reach all over the court and Into the ad- j
acent country. He gets the balls and gels
hem plenty , and when they land on the
other eldc they are frequently there to
stay. But his play lacks the finish which
only comes with several years of practice
and at times he appeared to be trai.ur .
carelessly. Condee alee played somewhat of
an erratic game. In the first set especially
when It devolved upon him to win a point
he failed to land the stroke. It looked like
ack of Judgment , but was more likely wh.it j
s known as an "off etreak. " This appeared |
principally in his return smashes , which too
iftcn Bent the balls over the base line or
nto the mebhes. In placing he showed a
; oed eye when playing carefully , and In j
eng runs and quick work he appeared to '
excellent advantage. The t o form an ex-1
cellent pair. They warmed uj > later and
would more than likely have won If rain
lad not Interfered. Crcsby and Rlpley of
: linsdalc play a very even game. It is evi
dent they have practiced together many
times before and are onto each other's pe
culiarities. They kept the balls humming ,
although not with the force displayed by
tbo opposing team.
HARD FIGHT FOR THE HONORS.
The first set was hotly contested , each
: eam getting a game in alternate order until
5-all was given out by the umpire. Fre
quently the points In the game worked up
to deuce and many advantage points were
earned and lost until the occupants of the
bleachers went wild with parasol shaking
and applause. The score In the first set
tcsulted In 7-5 for Crosby and Rlpley , 4-C
In the second for Condee and Roche. 6-3 In
the third for Crosby and Rlpley and 6-love
for Condee and Roche Jn the fourth , mak
ing two sets all. The rain took a hand
at this stage of the game and the decisive
set will be played some time today.
In tbo second court Austin and Culllng-
bam , the Omaha cracks , and Con Young ,
Omaha , with Gordon , West Point , N. Y. ,
took a turn In the entertainment. The
first set proved an ezsy conquest for the
local team. It was won In a walk with the
score going 6-lovo for the home boys. The
next one was not so easy , but it went on
the tab kept by Culllngbam and Austin as
6-4 to the good. In the third eet the
West Pointer ground his hands In the
dust and looked wicked. He winked at bis
partner in crime and waded In. If there
was any portion of the court that the tall
boy did not cover the crowd would like to
have a diagram of It. His long drives at
times were terrific. Grounders were picked
up with the facility of lobs and his serving
was a trifle better than enythlng which has
ever been seen In this neck of the woods.
The score went to Gordon and Young at 6-3.
In the last eel It was evident that the
pace was beginning to tell and although the
soldier went at It with a will , it was not
with the old time accuracy. The set was
captured by Cullngbam and Austin with a
score of 6-3. The following are the scores
