Omaha railroaders are not saying much
about the movement to build a railroad be
tween Omaha and Yankton , S. D. , but they
are giving the matter name very careful
thought. Opinion Is divided about the prob
ability of the construction of the lino. The
Northwestern and the Milwaukee systems
ere watching the matter closely , and It la
aid will bead off the proposed road If they
possibly can for the reason that Its building
would Interfere with the shipment of grain
and live stock from the South Dakota terri
tory to Chicago , bringing It to the Omaha
market Instead.
It Is admitted by all railroad men In a
position to know something of future pros
pects that the year 1899 Is very likely to see
a considerable amount of railroad building
In Nebraska. It Is believed the chances are
about even for the building of a line between
Norfolk and Yankton. But even should this
road not be built , the outlook for the new
year Is not barren of prospects for new lines.
Union Pacific surveyors have been busy ever
slnco last spring mapping out extensions ,
branches , cut-offs , taking out of curves In
the line and planning reduction of Bleep
grades. With the demand for civil engineers
by the Union Pacific , IlHuols Central , Chicago
cage Great Western and other lines Inter
ested In this vicinity , thcro has not been
an Idle member of the profession In Omaha
for the laut Elx months. A couple of years
ago there were a score of surveyors In and
about the city out of work or following
other vocations.
What the Union Pnolflr IN DnlnR.
In speaking of the preliminary work done
by the Union Pacific the last half year Chief
Engineer Berry said : "Much of the work
done Is of a private character , and I can
not give you any Information about It. We
sometimes lay out a great deal of work that
never gets any further. But we have been
pretty busy for some time and have con
siderable work ahead of us. "
One thing contemplated by the engineerIng -
Ing department of the reorganized Union Pa.
clHc Is the reduction of a number of the
steep grades in Wyoming nnd Colorado. In
Borne places , where the grades are from 80
to 90 per cent ( a rise of eight to nine feet
In every 100 feet ) , the grade Is to be cut
down to 40 per cent. This will Involve the
laying out of some new routes through
mountainous territory , but much of the pre
liminary work has been done and nearly all
of the surveys have been made.
The Union Pacific also still has In mind
the building of a branch line to follow the
Ndrth Platte river , leaving the main line of
the Union Pacific at North Platte , Neb. , and
running In a northwesterly direction to
Wendover , Wyo. , connecting there with the
Cheyenne & Northern. It will be re
membered that the party of Union Pacific
officials , Including General Manager Dick
inson and Chief Engineer Berry , went over
the proposed route last summer , driving In
wagons from Gerlng , Neb. , to North Platte ,
Neb. The survey of the proposed new line
was made shortly afterword , and It Is now
eald that tbo line will certainly be com
menced Bomettmo during the coming year.
MIlTrankce Ila * It * Plan * .
The Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
Is also turning Its attention .to Nebraska and
U Is reported on good authority that the
Milwaukee may do some building west of
the Missouri rlv r within the next few
years. About fifteen yeara ago this com
pany surveyed a line through the state of
Nebraska fo Denver that U now being
talked of again. The old surveys have been
resurrected and the brightened prospects
throughout the west have caused the Mil
waukee officials to consider the feasibility
of extending Its line to Denver. The olc
survey shows a line running up from Omaha
on the west shore of the Missouri river ,
gradually turning westward till It reaches
Arlington , Neb. From there the line
runs up to West Point , then It turns west
ward and runs through Madison , Albion ,
Ord , Broken Bow and then straight west to
Denver. The first 200 miles of this route
are said to to take the proposed line through
a regular garden spot , part of which Is now
not touched by any railroad at all. The
western part of the line would run through
the territory lying between the main line
of the Union Pacific and the northwest
branch of the Burlington.
Vnlon Pacific' * New Mall Car * .
When the new fast mall service of the
Union Pacific ( tarts on January 1 a part of
the tranicontlnentar mall between Council
Bluffs and Ogden will be carried In three
brand new mall car * . They arrived here on
Tuesday afternoon and are pronounced the
beat arranged , strongest and apparently the
moat durable mall cars ever run on the
"Overland Route. " The cars were built by
the Pulhnan Palace Car company at Pull
man , III. , especially for the Union Pacific
mall service. They constitute part of a big
order given the Pullman company by Presi
dent Burt of the Union Pacific last summer.
Each car Is sixty feet long and with steel
and stout timbers is aa sorld ui a car can be
built , The cars were Inspected by repre
sentatives of the Union Pacific on Wednes
day morning and declared to be quite ac
ceptable. They will bo placed In service on
January 1.
Two New Locomotive * .
Th two new locomotives built for the
Union Pacific by the Schenectady locono-
tlvo works have been at the Omaha shops
for several days , and while being fitted out
for service have been the objects of much
Attention by the Omaha shop men. Both.
engines are of the 1300 class and after be

Engine No. 1306 of the Union Pacific has
ust been put through the Omah shops. It
laa been practically rebuilt and is declared
to be as good as new. Before being sent
out to the Wyoming division to haul the
freight trains of the Union Pacific across
Sherman hill It Is being tested on the Ne
braska division. '
For tbo last couple of days this engine
las been used In making a series of the
most Important tests of power thai have
been made on the road for a number of
years. Up hill , down grade arid on level
stretches No. 1306 has been pulling long
strings of heavily loaded cars , and the re
sults have been carefully noted. J. H. Me-
Connell , superintendent of motive power
and machinery , has been out to Grand
Island with the engine watching Its per
formance. It Is said tbo work thus far done
has been far more satisfactory than was an
ticipated. Tbo engine has proved Itself capa
ble of carrying heavier loads than have ever
been made up Into one train on the Union
Pacific. Yesterday a haul from Grand Island
eastward was mnde with 2,500 tons loaded
nto A long train , , and the fine engine
turned out from the Omaha shop ; had no
great difficulty In pulling this heavy load.

Friends of Mark Robinson , who roomed at
603 North Fourteenth street , have been wor
ried concerning bis sudden disappearance on
December 21. Robinson was a carpenter of
excellent habits , nnd no reason has been ad
vanced aside from his feeling badly from
lie effects of a very severe cough which he
had contracted. He left bis dinner pall iiml
a chest of tools at his room. He had been
vorklng on an ice house , but the work gave
ut a week or ten days before he was last
een. Ho Is 48 years of age , five feet ten or
leven Inches In height and weighs 135
ounds. He wore a long , drooping black
moustache and had black balr.
Miss Lottie Stanley , for whom Rose Mns-
ers was working at lOif North Twelfth

Jiken out of storage and the balance re
maining in bond.
T"ho whisky that came to the customs
louse today was an American product and
was shipped from New York-to Bremen In
890 , where It has since remained. The
hlpment there was for the purpose of ea-
aplng the bonded warehouse charges , which
urlng the eight years would have amounted
o more than the freight charges twice
across the ocean. With reference to the
Ujuor that remains In bond , the duty will
not have to be paid until the twenty barrels
are taken out.

the effect that ho died from natural causes.
The tratlmony showed there were no marks

sack of hay 'to ' his home at 115 North
Twelfth street when ho made the discovery ,
He supposed the man was drunk , and had
Informed hie father , who told him to call
an ofllcer. Ho summoned two officers , who
picked the man up and carried him up the
steps , where It found ho was dead.
Two officers related how they had been
summoned to the scene. They found the
body at the foot of the stairs and supposed
the man woe drunk. Upon carrying him to
the sidewalk they learned differently. His
neck was not broken , and his body was
still warm , showing ho had not been dead
long. Kennedy wae lost seen alive at 8
o'clock and his body was .found at 0 or
shortly afterward.
Kennedy laid off Tuesday to attend to
sonio business at the court house and left
home In the morning at 11 o'clock with per-
taps $5 In cauh. HP paid some Insurance
and got a list of his taxes. When found ho
iad $4.05 and his watch on his person.
