UNCOLN , I'cb. 15 ( Special. ) The bear-
Ins on the complaint made by Senator T. Q.
reltz against the telegraph companies of the
state was commenced before the secretaries
' of the Stnte Hoard of Transportation this
afternoon. The ground covered by the ex-
omlnatlon i elated only to the lines of the
"Western Union , and an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow , when the representa
tive of the Postal company will B ° on tno
stand. Scnotor Foltz. who entered com
plaint tliat the companies \\tto charging an
cxhorbltdtit rate for the transmission of
messages , was present , but took no part It
the proceedings , being represented by At
torney A. 0. Wolfcnborgcr of this city.
J. J. Dickey , superintendent of the west
ern division of the Western Union , wns the
flrst vrltncfls to be examined. Ho testified
that In liln division there ro CO.SCO miles
of wire , Rtrung on 19,228 miles of poles.
In Nebraska there are 1G.7C1 miles of wire
on G.CG7 miles of poles. He wld that he
wont Into the employ of the company twenty-
eight years ago , and at that time the rate
of Un-vvorcl IUWMRCB rrom Omaha to North
I'latto was JX and still more to points fur
ther west In tdo state. Reductions have
born made sln c then from tlmo to time ,
until at prcccnt the maximum rate from anyone
ono point In the state to another Is 40 cents ,
while between points within a radius of 1BO
miles the rate la 25 cents for ten-word men-
RdgoR. This rate was established about five
jears ago. Previous to that the maximum
rate wan CO cents and the distances wore
shorter where the 25-ccnt rate applied. The
present rate Is the saino as Is In force lei all
the western stiles , end no general change
has been made In ( fie last two or thrco jcara
MXCOUN13 IMPPRUnNTIAt. .
When questioned about the Increase that
vcs made between Lincoln and points within
the s'atc Kst > ear , Mr. Dickie said that
nbout four years ago nn arransemcnt was
ma-lo In about twenty-fives states whereby
the maximum rule of messages between the
ennlt.il city of a Htato and any other point
In tlio state was fixed at 25 cents , In order
that people who desired to Iran-diet business
by tple-giaph In the state capital might have
tht n'lvantjpc of a low rate. In this state
complaints of discrimination hid been made
by the bi'slncsi men and especially the grain
and stock dealers of Oamha , Ucatrlce , Ne
braska City and other points , and the special
rate vvhloh applied to Lincoln had been can
celed This was done last summer and the
old rute was put Into effect.
Mr Dickey then explained that the terri
tory covered by his comnany is divided Into
square ? measuring In breadth about
3 BO miles ami that rutc * arc fixed
nt so much for messages from
any point In ono square to any point
in an adjoining Fquaro and that state lines
mo not considered in the establishment of
rates. Hn said that the expense ot sending
messages In this stMc Is higher than In
Jown or other states having a denser popu
lation , for the reason that In a state which
was moro thickly settled more messages uro
sent In proportion to the number of em
ployes required and the expenses necessary
to keep up the lines. In the meantime the
rate for messages Is the same In Nebraska
us In Iowa und the other btacu. The ex
pense of sending messages In this state
averaged about 24 cents , whllo the tolls for
the messages sent averaged 30.9 cents , mak
ing a profit to the company o about 0 cents
on each message.
EARNINGS OP TIID COMPANY.
C.B. . Horton , assistant superintendent of
thte dlrlfilon of the Western Union , went on
'tho ' stand and gave some figures regarding
llio earnings and expenses ot the company
within the state. Ho said tint the total re
ceipts for the jcar ending June 30 , 189Y ,
amounted to $217,201 07 Of this $130r,22.00
was from Interstate business and $80,741.08
from IntruEtuto business The expenses for
the hmno period amounted to $ IS3CS7 43. Ho
slid that the salary of the ouperintcndent
was $3,000 , ot the assistant $2,100 , and that
the salaries of the olllco managers lange f.om
$125 down to $10 per month.
In answer to a question by Mr. Wolfcn-
burccr witness bald that the receipts tor mes
sages during the joar did not Include the
message1) which went through the state from
ono outside point to another without having
been transmitted or handled In this .state.
Thcro were three wires for the handling ot
this through business , two along the Union
Pacific anil one from Chicago to Denver along
the Uurllngton linen. Ho had no knowledge
of the number or VAlue of thcso through mcs-
Mr. Horton In his testimony salil that
eight-tenths of the messages sent In Ne
braska went at the 2fi-cent rate , which cut
the prolltw on each message down to less
than 1 cent.

Ono of the cases submitted to the supreme
court Is the appeal of W. 13. Halter of Danes
county , who was sent to the penitentiary
Jicaily two years ago for porjury. Ho was
convicted on live separate counts , being flvo
fltatements made by him whllo under oath
nnd whllo telling ono story. The sentence
was two years for each ono of the counts.
In the appeal the claim Is made that such a
sentence was void and the attorney general
lias suggested that the Judgment of the trial
court bo sustained as regards the first count
and reversed at to the othora Thus the sentence -
tenco will almost bo served out when the
decision comes. The attorney for Halter
agrees to this , as a reversal of all the counts
would noccfcoltato the placing of Uakcr In
Jeopardy again and ho has now alteady
Ecrvcd out most of his term ,

The members of the County Commission
ers' association of Nebraska met In annual
session In this city this morning and trans
acted the preliminary business of the ses
sion. A very disappointing feature of the
affair h the fact that the members of the
association of this county were not present
to receive their guests and even when the
delegates went to the hall they found It
locked and no one present to attend to the
matter. The fault seems to He entirely with
the members of the Hall county board. At
the last meeting of the beard It appointed
a committee to receive the visitors and look
after their entertainment every member of
the hoard being a member of the committee.
Later In the duy the members of the Hall
county board arrived In the city and Chair
man Kvvlng explained that owing to an over
sight In the date of the meeting the recep
tion committee had neglected matters. Ho

COLUMBUS , O. , Feb. 15. Timothy Hrgan.
who has eluded nil the secret service men of
the country nnd the , dqtectlves In many
cities , as well as several private agencies ,
for the last year , hiis been arrested at
Westervllle , a village about twelve miles
north of Columbus. I lagan Is wanted for
rifling mall boxes In many cities in the
United States and for raising and passing
checks secured from letters' deposited In the
mails. ,
Patrick Kelly , chief , of the Columbus po
lice , laid the plans for the arnest of Hogan ,
who lies been operating In Columbus and
other cities of the state for the last two
months. Last Friday , Hogan left the city ,
ostensibly for the east , but vvent no further
thau Westervllle. Sln.celrnt . \ time he vis
ited the city each day , and all the while
was under the tmrvclllaijcQ of detectives
from the city force. ,
When arrested tonight J egan had In his
possession 120 mall box kftjs , secured In as
many different cities In the United States ;
also over 200 letters which he had taken
from the malls In different cities In Ohio ,
principally Columbus. Hogan , when ar-
rcated , realized that ho had been caught
dead to right , and talked freely when
brought before Chief of Police Kelly con
cerning Ills operations. Ho cald that he
had a pal , but refused rte give his name or
any Information regarding his whereabouts.
Chief Kelly , however , thinks ho will be ap
prehended.
Hogan explained In detail how acids were
used to remove the writing from checks , and
how ho eraseJ or altered them. In this
connection an Interesting fact Is given. On
all the checks changed or altered , In which
the word "ninety" occurred the word was
spelled "nlnty. " It was by m"ane < of thin
misspelling of words that Hogan's operations
were folk ed from place to place
To the chief of police Hogan said ho
could neither read nor write , but on nn argu
ment brine raised BS to the snclllncr of the
word "ninety , " lie readily proved that ho
could read by his reference to a dictionary.
Hogan IB about 30 years of age , and has a
wife and family In Chicago A brother un
der arrest In New York City , he says , is
not Implicated In any way In his operatlono
and Is entirely Innocent of the charges pre
ferred cgalnst him. Regarding his posses
sion of the mall box keys , Hogan refuses to
toy anything
He sojs that during the lest year ho has
secured by his operations as much as $40-
000 , but that ; ho and his pal have spent all
of It Ho was stranded at Westervllle , and
only a few dajs ago had pawned an over
coat In this city , the publicity given to his
operations by the newspapers of the state
having prevented his working successfully
In this territory.
Hogan escaped from Blackwell Island , Now
York , a little over a year ago , and has a
little over four years of his sentence there
yet to serve.

RESTORES THE SUGAR RATE
Effort to Help Ont Omnlia Ends After a

PORT ARTHUR LINE SUCCUMBS TO BOYCOTT
Aiinounorntcnt of ( lie Continuation ot

Kun n City Made ( a
Omnlin. Shipper * .
Advices from R. W. Ltghtburnc , Jr. , gen
eral agent of the Kaceas City , Plttsburg &
Gulf railroad nt New Orleans , received hero
arc to the effect that on Friday , February
25 , the old rates from New Orleans to Omaha
and Kansas City , Including a differential of
3 cents In the rates to the two latter cities ,
will be restored , confirming the special tele
gram from Kansas City published In The
Bee. The announcement was made In local
railway circles during the morning , although
the restoration of the differential had been
prcsiged by rumors on Monday.
Among the lines ttmt are competitive with
the Port Arthur Route there were plenty
of "I told > oi sea" to bo heard From the
start the officials of these lines have argued
that no one line could force the Kimo rates
to Omaha nnd Kansas City on shipments
from the south The Missouri Pacific tried
It once last ) car , and ns soon as It had
placed Omaha on the panic basla with Kan-
fas City , the Kansas City , Fort Scott S.
Menu tils road cut the rate to Kansas City
by the exact amount that the Missouri Pa
cific had cut the rate to Omaha. At the
Commercial club and among the business
men some regret was heard that the Port
Arthur Route had not been able to abolish
the differential that exists between Dunlin
and Kansas City on shipments from the
south , thouj.fi It was admitted that the new
line Ind made a gallant fight against great
odds to accomplish such a desideratum.
It Is reported on good authority that the
officials of the Port Arthur Route feel that
the Jobbers and merchants of Omaha have
not properly supported the new line In Its
attempt to place Omnhn on the same basis
with Kansas Cltv on shlnments from the
south. It Is said that the Port Arthur Route
has not received the bulk of the sugar that
Is brought Into Omaha as It expected to re-
ceho after It had made the Inltiil move for
lower rates. However this may be. It Is
a fact that two of the largest wholesale
grocery houses In the city have stood loyally
behind the new line In Its fight for the aboli
tion of the dlffeicntlal , ono ot the houses
giving to the line nine cars of sugir last
week Whether the movement for the ab
sorption of the differential by the Kansas
City , Pltsburg & Gulf Railroad could have
succeeded had' the new line received moro
substantial encouragement from the local
wliolesalo trade Is u mooted question , and
according to their alliances , railroad men dif
fer In their opinions on the point.

circuit court a temporary order restraining
the Atchlson , Topcka & Santa Fo railway

roads which gave notice recently that they
would refuse to accept or deliver freight to
the complainant road at Texas points , "bo-
oiuse of its refusal to enter theJKputhwest-
o-n Tralflr bureau , Each of the eievcn rail
roads nnd steamship lines which announced
the boycott gave the Plttsburg & Gulf road
from ton to thirty days' notice. The Santa

these roads as their tlmo limit expires and
an attempt to enforce the boycott Is made.

The Vnlon Pacific ha i reduced the tlmo
of Us now eaetbcnmfl train between Denver
nnd Omaha by one hour. Train No. 4 will
arrive hero on Wednesday morning At 7
o'clock , the cnmcas heretofore , though U
left Denver at 4 30 Instead of 3:30 : p , m.
The reduction brings the running time ot
the onstbound train from Denver to Chicago
down to twenty > ecvcn hours and fifteen
minutes , the tlmo mnJo by the Burlington's
new enstbounj train.
As the running time of the now fast trains
of the great rivals Is now the eatne both
east and west , It Is believed ( hero will bo
no further cuts In time nor any efforts
made by the one road to eclipse the other
In the matter of ejieed on regular tra'ns '
The westbound schedules of the t'nlon Pa >
cine and of the Burlington are exactly alike ,
the time out of Chicago , through Omaha and
Into Denver being the samo. The running
tlmo of .ho eastbound trains Is now the
same , although the trains leave Denver ot

On March 1 the Southern railway will
absorb the Memphis & Charleston railroad ,
a tullroicl ot about 330 miles , the main line
of which extends from Chattanooga to Mem
phis. Local rallnndots have Just henrd with
considerable pleasure that the change will
not affect the position of Bob McKellar ,
assistant general freight ngent at MomphK
and of U. G. Soule , general agent at Kansas
City. IWth the passing of the Memphis &
Charleston railroad they will become rcpce
sentotlves of the Southern Railway , the onb
change being that Mr. Soule's title Is raised
from that of traveling freight agent to that
of general ngent. Bo'.ti freight men arc well

Owing to the efforts of two New York
newspapers to beat each other Into Buffalo ,
the Erie rallvva ) made an unusually quick
run on Sunday , covering the 425 miles be
tween Jersej City and Buffalo to seven hours
and thirty mir.utes , an average of a mile
In 1 03' . The Erie train , drawn by one
of the company's' new triple compound en
gines , left Jersey City at 3:18 : n. m , and rolled
into Buffalo at 10 48 a. m. The New York
Central left New York at 3:15 : a. m. , carrj-
tag the rival paper , and arrived In Buffalo
at 12-15 p. m. , Its tlmo being an hour and
a half greater than that ot Its rival.
IV decision ot Importance to the Order of
Railway Conductors has Just been handed
down by Judge Seaman of the United
States District Court at Milwaukee. Mary
Dlxon sued the order for the recovery of
$2,000 upon a certificate Issued to her hus
band , no had Joined the order In 1SS5 and
died In 1SS8 , after the order had been dis
solved and become a simple absoclatlon
Pas ment of the claim was refused and the
suit has been In the. courts for years. From
the state courts the conductors had It re
moved to the United States court. The con
ductors pleaded that the dissolution of the
organization had vitiated the claim , but
Judge Seaman has decided that this Is not
the case and that the action of the order
In dissolving Its corporation did not abate
the liabilities that had accrued before the
reorganization. Had this decision been ten
dered earlier the National Yardmasters' as-
soclatlon would have been obliged to pay
several claims of a like nature , but probably -
ably the tlmo to Inbtltuto legal proceedings
has expired. The Yardmasters' association
dissolved under niuch similar circumstances
as did that of the Order of Railway Con
ductors.
The managers of the Adams Express com
pany having declared the usual quarterly
dividend of $2 per share , also determined ,
In view of what the company regards as
excessive burdcnsonio taxation In some of
the western states , to reduce the assets here
tofore employed In the business. The-io as
sets have been increase/ from time to time
slnco the organization of the association In
1S54 as required by the development of the
business to provldo for losses and protect
shareholders against personal liability , The
managers bet apart and distributed among
the shareholders an amount equal to $100 per
bharc , for which the bonds of the tomptny
will bo Issued to shareholders ot record on
the closing of the transfer hooks. Such
bonds will bo known as the collateral trust ,
4 per cent , fifty-year gold hondu of the
