12 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THUKSDAY , ATJHITST 18 , 1808 , WAITING ON OUTSIDE LINES Western Passenger Association Meeting is Again Deferred , CHAIRMAN CALDWELL ANNOUNCES DELAY Merlin * Will JSnt He Held Tleforc the did of Next Week , Owing to the Opposition of the Alton. There will bo a meotlnR of the Western Passenger association In Chicago on Thursday of next week. This Is the earliest data which the Omaha lines have been nblo to get Chairman Caldwcll of the association to name. It Indicates that another week will bo allowed to pass by without action by the association on the matter of reduced rates to Omaha during the remainder of the exposition. The general passenger agents of Omaha have kept the wires between hero and Chicago cage very warm slnco the first of the week In an effort to get a prompt meeting for the purpose of taking final action regarding reasonable exposition rates. The Omaha men tried hard to get a meeting this week , but Chairman Caldwcll did not encourage this idea to any great extent. One reason ho offered for the delay Is that one of the lines cannot bo represented at any meeting this week because outof Us officers Is In the east. east.This This delay suits the Alton and other lines that oppose granting lower rates to Omaha very well. A3 ono of the local general passenger agents says : "Theirs Is a waitIng - Ing game. They have everything to gain and nothing to lese through the postpone ment of final action on exposition rates. " Another passenger man bays : "It makes me tired. When the association meeting In Chicago last week broke up It was under stood that wo would have a meeting the first of this week to settle things , and now It looks ns though It will bo the latter part of next week before the lines get to gether. " Indignant at the delay of the association the thrco general passenger agents of Omaha had decided to take Individual action toward lower rates , when the Inopportune publication of an nrtlclo In a local paper making an arrogant assault on the passenger men balked the game. There was a meeting nt Elkhorn headquarters on Tuesday , at tended by General Passenger Agents Francis of the I ) . & M. , Buchanan of the Elkhorn and Chief Clerk Murray of the Union Pacific. After the meeting ono of these gentlemen uald : "Individual action would undoubtedly have been taken at the meeting had It not been for ono thing. Things looked very much like n decision to announce lower rates individually , when some ono came In and called our attention to the attack on us In a , local paper , and the threat to force lower rates within five days. None of us had soon the article , as wo do not read the paper , but when this inan commenced to 'Josh' us about It we decided that wo wouldn't give the paper attacking us any chance to crow over us and cry out : 'See what wo did. ' So no Individual action was taken , and I do not know ns' thcro will be now. " JUISTI.I : i-oit ST. jou IIUSIXESS. MUHotirl Pnelflc mid IlnrlliiKtoii Iii- iliilKf In 11 Little Hide How. A man walked Into a local ticket office yesterday afternoon and said : "Give mo a ticket to St. Joseph. " Ho laid down $1 and expected to get G cents In change. In stead the ticket agent said : "I can sell you a round trip ticket good for five days for $1.75 , " and the surprised commercial traveler nearly dropped to the floor. Ho remarked that he had been traveling ten years , but never had the good fortune to etrlko a cut rate before. There Is n merry llttlo fight for St. Joseph business from Omaha and for Omaha travel from St. Joseph now on between the Burling ton and the Missouri Pacific roads. The ordinary ono way faro Is $3.95 , but on ac count of the fight the round trip tlcknts arc on sale for $1.75. Up until recently the Burlington has had the field on this busi ness to Itself , but recently the Missouri Pa cific effected a combination with the St. Joseph & Grand Island from Hiawatha , Kan , , to St. Joseph , Mo. , allowing through trains to be run between Omaha and St. Joseph over thcso two lines. The fight really com menced last Saturday when the St. Joseph excursions were run to the exposition and has continued with considerable sharpness slnco then. The passenger men of each line in this city said yesterday they had no Idea how long the reduced rate would remain In effect. HATE CUTTING TO Ont at St. I.oiil * Promptly Meet KniiailN City Ilnti-x. ST. LOUIS , Aug. 17. The cutting of freight , rates to the eastern seaboard Is still going on. The lines running out of East St. Louis are promptly meeting all cuts made by way of Kansas City and Chicago , and a quiet war Is being waged. A short tlrno ago ono road made a Ifi-cont rate on 3,000 sacks of flour from East St. Louis to Now York and today accnta for some of the lines were offering to make a rate of 14 cents on flour and craln from East St. Louis to New York , sorao ship ments bclnz booked nt that rate. This is do no on the quiet , and only a few of the heavy shippers are getting the benefit of the cut. cut.As As a result the smaller shippers and out siders nro belnc shut out of the eastern and export markets. Shippers say the rate cutting is demora lizing business and Is not only a violation of the fofleral. but also of the state laws and the offenders will be brought before the Illinois State Board of Railroad and Ware house Commissioners.

KHAHNCV & III.AU1C 1IIM-3 SOLD. Union I'nclflc Illil * In ( tic Ilrnnch I/lnc nt Pt. 0,0(10. ( The foreclosure sale of the Kcnrncy & niack Hills railway took place at Kearney , < cb. , yesterday morning nt 11 o'clock. The C5.4 miles of railroad nnd the property along the line belonging to the company , as well ns what llttlo equipment It possesses , waa mrclinscd by the Union Paclflo railroad company for $150,000. The sale was conducted by Colonel Alex ander , appointed special master to conduct lie sale by the federal court. At the ap pointed hour ho called for bids and received ho ono that secured the property. It was offciod by W. D. Cornish , first vice president of the Union Pacific railroad , and Law rence Orccr of New York , an attorney of the Jnlon Pacific reorganization committee. It vas a singular coincidence that this occasion made the auctioneer of the Union : 'actflc main line last November the suc cessful bidder at the sale of thu flrst branch Inc. Inc.No No other bid was offered nnd none was ex pected. After vainly calling for other bld- lers Colonel Alexander waited a few ruln- itcs and then declared the property sold , rho line purchased Is a branch of the Union 'nclflc main line , C9nnoctlng with the latter at Kearney , Neb. It runs in a northwest erly direction to Callnway , Neb. It was ormcrly a branch of the Union Pacific , but luring the last four years has enjoyed a separate receivership. It will now bo op- crated as a branch line of the Union Pacific again. Such It has always been in fact , hough not in name. The buyers and sellers returned from the sale to Omaha yesterday afternoon In n irlvato car of the Union Pacific attached o the castbouml "Overland Limited" train. Jcsldcs Colonel Alexander there were : Howard I. Abbott , master-ln-chancery for .ho Union Pacific cases ; W. D. Cornish , Lawrence Grcer and W. A. Sargent , attor ney of the American Loan and Trust com pany. The party will go to Lincoln this nornlng and will there attend the sale of the Omaha Republican Valley Railway. UXIOPACIFIC'S lli < AYUU DEPOT. Council' * Slmrpoc in President Hurt Kxultcn Comment. The action of the city council calling the nttcntlpn of President I3urt of the Union [ 'aclflc to his unfulfilled obligations concerning - corning the building of a passenger station , n this city was the principal subject of llscusslon In railway circles during the day. The absence of the president , who Is making a trip through the west , nnd the fact that General Manager Dickinson Is also away make It impossible to secu.ro any statement from the railroad company as to what answer will bo made to the council's de mands. The passage of the resolutions is not a surprise to local railroaders. Some such action hns been anticipated ever since the expiration of the sixty days on Juno 1 , when work was to have been begun. It Is uiown that plans for a union station were irepared , but negotiations between the Burlington and some of the companies that are tenants of the Union Pacific looking to ward occupation of the Burlington's new station Is said to have interrupted the movement for a union station. Railroad men generally do not bellovo that the Union 'nclflc will enter the Burlington station , but they profess the belief that President Burt of the Union Pacific is having some dlf- llculty In keeping some of the other lines from doing BO. Export Coiuimiili' * to Pay tlic Tnx. ST. LOUIS , Aug. 17. The Missouri rail road commissioners today decided that they expect the companys should pay for the rovcnuo stamps used on receipts issued by them , but declare that since tbo tariff ot the different companies has not been In creased the board has no authority to act In the matter. The case decided was the complaint of Commissioner Vanlandingbam of the St. Louts Traffic Bureau against ex press companies. In IliirlliiKtoit Dividend. BOSTON , Aug. 17.

The city council has taken stops prelimi nary to a material revision of the system now In vogue In the matter of paying the foes of appraisers appointed to assess beno- Ills nnd damages ncrulng from the paving , grading or opening of streets and boule vards. A new ordinance Just Introduced fixes the fees of the appraisers. A resolu tion passed will Include all costs of ap praisement In the cost of the Improvements. Thuse actions will materially change the plan In vogue. Now appraisers put In bills for fees In sums which they believe they nro entitled to , and threats of lawsuits force the council to approve amounts which they consider too high , but which they must pay because no contract Is entered Into. Then , too , all the costs of appraisement nro being paid out of the city funds and they aggre gate a considerable sum. The matter was brought to a head at a recent meeting of the coun cil , when the appraisers who were appointed to determine the value of the land to be condemned for the Southwest boulevard put In n bill for scveial hundred dollars. The amount staggered the council nnd the body ordered the city attorney to draw up nn ordinance fixing appraisers' fees. This ordinance was Introduced nt the last meeting of the council. According to the proposed new law , the following fccale of fees Is fixed : To tht > chairman of the board for special services in preparing notices and other similar work , $3 ; to each member of the board for services at the meeting of organization when the tlmo for hearing property owners Is set , $2 ; to each member for services at the hearing , $2 ; for additional services that are absolutely necessary in viewing the property and de termining damages , $2 a day. According to this ordinance the minimum amount to make an appraisement will bo ? 17 , which will bo increased nt the rate of $ G a day as long ns the board Is required to personally view the property. President Blngham Introduced the resolu tion which directed that costs of appraise ment and of publication shall be Included in the levy for the improvements. This resolution was passed. The council acted on the theory that these costs should be made a part of the costs of the improvement ns much as anything else connected therewith. Tiekpt llrokerx' Ordinance. The ticket brokers' ordinance that has been Introduced In the city council simply repeals the fwo ordinances that were previously passed. One of these , which provided a fee of $75 , was declared un constitutional by Judge Scott because the fee was excessive ; the other fixing the fee nt ? 23 Is In force , but Is Ineffective because Judge Scott hns issued nn Injunction to restrain the city from putting Its provisions in force. "While Judco Srott has not de clared the last ordinance illegal , it looks as if he intended to dose so , " declared n city official. "When the temporary restraining order was Issued the hearing was fixed for a day In the early part of September a month nnd more from the date the restraining order was Issued. That looks very much us If It Is not the intention of the court to allow the ordinance to stand. Therefore , it has been repealed. It Is not likely that any other ordinance will be Introduced. " Courts at Kansas City and nt Cincinnati a few days ago declared that almost exactly similar ordinances are constitutional. Mortality Stntlntlc * .
