RlgM reorganization and rigorous n
trcnclimont , as exhibited by the new reglm
In control of the Union Pacific rallroai
were the principal topics of discussion I
local railway circles yesterday. Espe
clally In Union Pacific circles these forme
the ono absorbing topic. No further reduc
lions than those announced Monday evtoln
were given out. While there Is a genera
feeling of fear and trembling thit more die
mlrsala will follow , there appears to bo n
substantial foundation for this belief.
The only appointment announced yestet
day was that of Samuel A. Hutchlno
to bo assistant general passenger agent. Fc
several years past ho has been the gsnorc
traveling passenger agent of the Unlo
Pacific , nnd the office of assistant geucrc
passenger iiRcnt has remained vacant. Th
news that It has been decided to promot
Mr. Hutchison and glvo him the tltto c
assistant general passenger ngent was vcr
gladly received In 'railway circles , for h
iias long been the most popular represents
tlvo of that department. It Is underatco
lli'it Mr. Hutchison will continue travc
for the Union Pacific , anJ that the office c
general traveling passenger agent will nc
bu filled.
President Hurt arrived at the headquarter
shortly after 8 o'clock and personall
conducted John B , Berry , the ne\
chief engineer of the Union Pacific , to hi
offices on the fourth floor of the headquar
tcrs building. Mr. Berry cesumcd fornvi
charge of the office without much ceremony
but announced no changes. His SUCCCPSO
as chief engineer of the Fremont , Hlkhori
& Missouri Valley railroad has not yet beci
named. General Manager George F. Bldwel
of the Elkhorn road Is now In consultatlcr
with the Northwestern officials In Chlcag' '
regarding thu nutter.
NAMES OF THOSE DROPPED.
The official decapitations In Iho varlou
departments of the Union Pacific did no
provo < x > numerous as was anticipated
While nearly every department los
two or three clerks no department wai
entirely deprived of Its force. Up untl
noon no dismissals had been reported In tin
accounting departments. In < the cxecutlvi
department Miss McClelland was not at he
desk this morning. S. J. Larson , the dc
pnrtmcnt messenger , was reported to havi
been relieved , from further service.
In the department of car service Hani

two other employes of the department lo
cated out oa the road were discharged bj

In the general passenger office Clerk Kellj
was told ho need not come to work there an )
more end ono young woman stenographei

At the shops Hugo Thelnhart , draughts
man , and Henry ninth , Thomas Murphy and

the fall of the ax.
In the supply department of the shops a

W. Van Nostrand , Andruw Smith and John
McBrlde.
The cleiks who "wero so fortunate as tc
retain their places In the Union Pacific
headquarters were down at their desks
bright and early this morning. They -were
there oven before President Burt arrived ,
nnd ho gets around rather early. The
representatives of the press were shunned
as though they were real "bogle" men , and
hi the executive department they w > cre or
dered to remain outside the outer railing in
the outermost office.

of the St , Louis syndicate to nviko a contract
with the 'Frlkcn to operate It , there being
no clause In the contract to prevent the
Frisco from making such nn agreement. An
estimate of the expense of bulldlnp puts the
cost per mlle at $20,000 , or $2,100,000.

COMPROMISE WITH BARBE
Long Standing Controversy ia About to I
Closed TJpi
CITY ATTORNEY ARRANGES A SETTLEMEN
Claim of Mir I'nvlnp ; Company Scale
: Searljijt,0 | { ) ( > mill Snltn n Doth
Slilen IllNnilnneil Conn-
, vIl'M Opportunity ,
City Attorney Connell has submitted to It
council a proposition for the settlement <
the long standing Barber Asphalt con
pany's claims for street repairs , with
recommendation that It bo approved , Tt
proposition contemplates the settlement (
the claims In full less a reduction of nboi
$14,000 , which represents the concessln
made by the asphalt company. The bills <
the company now pending amount to ? C3
081.GR , on which Interest amounting to $ K )
378.92 linn accrued , making a total of $73
4G0.47. The proposition , which has bee
accepted by the Barber company and no
awaits the approval of the mayor nn
council , provides that the city shall pa
the company $60,000 as payment In fu
of all demands.
The settlement Is n result of Mr. Oor
ncll's recent visit to the east and accorc !
Ing to the Btalcment of the city attorne
It came about very unexpectedly. Mi
Connell was In Washington to argue Ih
Eleventh street viaduct case before th
supreme court , and while ho was there h
received a telegram from his opslstan
stating that the legal department of th
city had received otlco that the Barbe
company was about to take th deposillo
of Mr. Tlllolson , formerly of the Omah
engineering de | > artmonl , at his present rcsl
dcnco In Brooklyn. It occurred that h
could be In Brooklyn on the date men
Honed without Inconvenience and ho too
occasion to drop In on the aftalr , much t
the surprise of nil concerned. Ho cross
examined Mr. Tlllotson at length , and wit
the result that Iho deposition did not tur
out to bo exactly what the Barber coin
pany wanted. The proposition for a setlle
meiil grow out of the discussion that oc
currcd at this time and It was put in writ
Ing and signed by Mr. Council nnd Prcsl
dent F , V. Greene of the Barber compan ;
subject to the approval of the mayor am
council.
Mr. Connell Ihlnks lhat the settlement I
a very satlsfaelory ono for Ihe clly. He call
attenlion lo the fact that with the cxceptloi
of Ihe bills for 1591 , which caused the troll
ble between the city and the company , tin
claims are practically undisputed. The bill ,
that are In controversy , with Interest
amount to about $14,000. In 1S94 three com
mlttcc reports were adopted by the city coun
ell In. which a ( settlement was recommendei
In which the 1S91 bills were figured at $12 ,
250. In May , 1S95 , the special commlttei
that was appointed to investigate the mattei
recommended that the- company be allowci
$10,770,04 , but all these propositions wen
vetoed by Mayor Bemls. The settlement thai
lo mow proposed practically wipes out tin
1S91 bills over which the differences occurrci
In consideration of the payment of the othei
bllla which the city attorney sajs cannot be
successfully disputed.
This settlement will do away with the still
now pending In United States court for tin
recovery of the amount claimed by the com-
psny and by Its terms the two damage finite
now pending between the city and the Bar
ber company are also disposed of. Ono ol
these sulto was begun by the city to rccovei
from the Barber company the amount whlcr
the city lost by reason of the failure of the
defendant to fulfill Its street sweeping con
tract la 1S92 and In the other the Uarbei
company sues the city for damages alleged
to have been sustained by the refusal of the
city to allow it to carry out the contract ,
These controversies are allowed to offsel
each other and both will bo drppped If the
proposition of settlement Is approved by the
mayor and council , It is proposed that the
amount to be- paid the Barber company will
be raised through the prospective Issue of
refunding bonds.
