THE OMAHA DAILY UEE : TIiniSDAT , JANUARY 4JG , 1809. OTHER ROADS MAY COME IX Indications that There May Be Many Fast Trains Into Omaha. CUT OF NORTHWESTERN A SURPRISE MUCH Mkclr t Mri't the ! < oliriliiln nnil Ailil l'l > < Tfi , I'IIN- Hlhly HcilnrliiR Uin I'ri'n- viit Tlmr. The announcement In The Ileo that the Northwestern will reduce the tlmo con- mimed by Its overland limited between Chicago and Omnha has set the officials of other roads to guessing. The reduction of nearly two hourB In tht1 running time of a regular passenger train 'Is ' no common under taking. If the olhcr roads follow the lend of the Northwestern the stretch of territory between Chicago and Omaha will bo the warmest In the country for fast train service. At" the Hurllngton and MHwnukeo offices today nothing can bo learned of the Intention of these roads townrd meeting the Innovation of their competitor , hut It Is believed they will also change the tlmo of their trains to ronform to the new schedule. One of the officials nald ho believed thn present time of the trains Is the most satisfactory , as ono can complete the day's work In Chicago , RO to his ) .train , get a fine dinner on the dining car , und reach Omaha at a convenient hour ( the next morning , while under the new time of the Northwestern he will have to skirmish nround In Chicago for his dinner before Ktartlng , and will arrive In Omaha too early for breakfast on. the diner. Yet notwith standing his theory he expected his road would put the nc\v schedule Into effect nhortly. At the Hock Island office It cannot , be learned what action the road will take to maintain Us position as making the best tlmo between the two cltlwj , but It Is hinted that the record will bo held up at all costs. It Is KUggestod that there Is only ten min utes difference between the Hock Island train und the one proposed by the Northwestern , nnd that the former can easily run In ahead of tlmo to offset that advantage , oven If the j-oad'u time Is not Hhortened up another Jialf hour. There Is a feeling on the part of the other roads that the Northwestern will not run the Hame train under the new time H Is trunnlng on the present card , that It will bo raado up solely of Pullmans and be a lim ited Bcrvlce , but at the Northwestern office they say the train will be Identical with the ono operated now. On the hypothesis tbat the Hurllngton and Milwaukee will meet the reduction Inaugu rated by the Northwestern , It will make coven fast trains running between Chicago and Omaha. Of course three of these will 3)e mall trains , but they form a part of the train service between the two cities and assist In keeping the tracks warm over a stretch of COO miles. There will be one fast jiassenger and two fast malls on the Ilur- Jlngton , ono passenger and one fast mall on the Northwestern , ono combination passen ger and mail on the Hock Island and a pas senger on the Milwaukee. JK J'HOM A TOUIl OK INSPECTION. ( icnrrnl Mil miner lllilwi-11 Talk * of CrimlitloiiK Alonur the lOlklinrn. Oeorgo F. Illdwoll , general manager of the ( Rlkhorn , who has Just returned from an extended trip to Wyoming along the lines of Ills road and through territory which the road may reach by new lines at dome time In the future , says the outlook for freight business from that country Is excellent. Ho Bays there arc lots of cattle tliere , but the number Is rapidly decreasing , while the number of uheop Is Just as rapidly Increas ing. The day of the unlimited range Is passing away , aud the younger clement of the stock raisers Is turning Us attention more to sheep , which can be handled to bet ter advantage than cuttle on the limited range. This Mr. llldwcll says , will reduce the tonnage of shipments , but will Insure a Rood and permanent business , while there Is plenty of cattle to maintain a satisfactory business for some time. Mr. nidwoll reports tlio general condition of business In the section of Wyoming ho visited as being first class , which of Itself would bring good results to railroad traffic la that section. 'I'm I IK from l < "ort Crunk. The Hurllngton pulled the freight train from Kort Crook at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. It required elghtoon cars to accommodate the bravy baggage of the Second Infantry ana the train will be run through to Cheyenne on passenger time , where It wilt bo turned over to the Union Pacific. This mornIng - Ing the Missouri Paclllc will run its passen ger equipment upon the tracks at Fort Crook < o be loaded by four companies of the regi ment , and will leave the fort during the afternoon. Friday morning the Burlington nnd Hock Island will take their trains down to the fort for the balance of the regiment. The Missouri Pacific and Hock Island will run their trains In two sections and the HurlliiRtoti will keep Its In one. Ynriln nt What Is paradoxically described as I he biggest little yard In the country Is that ot the Union Pacific at Ogden. Although there ore only about sixteen miles of trackage , In cluding the Union Depot company's system , over which the Union Pacific engines ply , the business handled Is saltl to exceed by far that of any other yard In the .country , size considered. On an average there arc thirty men employed , although nt times there are Jlfty. and the number of cars handled by them each month averages between 20,000 nud 25,000. The yardmaster Is J. H. McCoy , who was formerly employed In the Union 1'aclflc yards In this city. Wt'Htcrn IMmiiriiRer Aannrlntlon. CHICAGO , Jan. 25.

SAVES MONEY BY WAITING Advlnnrr Ilonril A rnriln Stntloiiery nud I'rlntliiK Contract * nt Price * Far Ilelo'V former Illil * . The Advisory board has let the annual contracts for furnishing the city with printIng - Ing and stationery supplies to four differ ent bidders. The bulk of the stationery will be furnished by C. J. Meyer , whllo the Omaha Printing company , Klopp-Bartlett company , and the Rces Printing company will come In for a share. The Omaha PrintIng - Ing company will carry off the greater part of the printing , while the other two printIng - Ing companies will have a smaller portion. The wisdom of rejecting the bids that were made on December 28 was demonstrated In this award. Secretary Coburn estimated that on the figures made at that time the city would have to pay for the printing and stationery It would use during the yrnr a total of $6,941.75. The bids were rejected as excessive and new bids were called for and It was upon these that the contracts were awarded. For the same amount of stuff the city , on the new bids , will have to pay but $4,921.96. The board , therefore , saved the city some 12,000 by calling for new bids. Chief of Police White , who Is a member of the board , made a request for three patrol wagon teams and an emergency buggy to supplant the present horses nnd buggy , which are worn out. The board decided to grant the buggy and will call for competi tive bids on one , but the city veterinarian was Instructed to examine the present patrol horses to determine If they are useless. Bids for brick were again rejected , ns the board came to the conclusion that It could got such material cheaper by buying It when wanted , rather than to enter Into a contract for a whole year.

The Hock Island trains , bearing the headquarters , band and four companies will return to this city from the fort to connect with the inaln line of the ro.id , The regiment Is reported in good condition ihyslcally , although with the largo num ber of recruits which It has been required to take , the command Is not so thoroughly drilled as Its officers would llko It. How ever , this Is a matter which can be quickly remedied when the regiment Is once more located In camp. Short of Ofllccrfl. The regiment will bo In poor shape as to Its complement of ofllcers.

Dispatches announce that Brigadier Gen eral Edwin V. Suraner will be discharged next month as an officer of the volunteers. This will leave him ns a colonel In the regular army. As the general will retire under the age limit next August , It IB be lieved ho will bo promoted to brigadier gen eral of the regular service and retired at that rank. The short period of service yet remaining for the general will make It hardly worth his while to take up his residence In Omaha whllo In command of the Depart ment of the Missouri. However , ho says ha likes the city , for many years of his service have been spent In this territory. Ho waa three years stationed at Fort Robinson , three years at Fort Niobrara , and three years at Fort Meade , S. D. He thinks it possible after his retirement he may return to his old homo at Harrisburg , Pa. , and reside there until he flnds some place which will suit him better. The age limit for retirement Is 64 years , but few people would take the general to be within ten years of that figure. He says he feele as well and as robust as he did at GO years , and his appearance bears out the statement. Until Men Found CulKy. Privates Floyd J. Dickinson and Frank J.

BARRIER IN THE SOLITARY Allotted Dynamiter from Sonth Oninlui \ot Inclined to Talk About EK- ploilvec Found on Porch. William Barrier , the South Omaha dyna mite artist , who Is alleged to have located a quantity of the explosive on E. D. Towl's front porch , Is confined In a solitary cell at the county Jail , while the South Omaha au thorities are continuing their Investigation of the caso. At the request of the mayor and chief of police of the packing town no ono la allowed to sco the suspect and con sequently bo has done very little talking. Ho asked permission to send a letter to a friend ot his , but when he discovered that the letter would be Inspected by his Jailers , be tore it up In apparent fear that they might discover Its contents. What little Barrier says about his predica ment consists largely In bewailing the fact that he Is getting a pretty disagreeable re turn for what ho. considered a very good turn. Ho la fairly good-natured about the matter nnd merely rcmarku that It Is rather tough to bo accused of the crime when he savrd the Towl family from being elevated to the Elyslan fields via the dynamite route.

HAYDEN BROS. ROBBERS VISIT A SALOON Tito Mnnked Men Cletui Out the CfiNh Drawer nud Make Their Two masked robbers entered the saloon of Mike Nlttler , 200G South Sixteenth street , Tuesday night nnd held up the bartender and llvo men who were still In the saloon. Whllo these held their hands elevated on account of the threatening aspect of two re volvers In the hands of one of the Intruders the second went through the cash drawer , which was carried off. It waa about midnight when John Nlttler , the bartender , who was playing cards with five other men In the back part of the sn- loon , saw a man looking In the front win dow. Immediately the head disappeared and Nlttlor hastened to the door to see what had become of Us owner. When he opened the door a man stepped In quickly with two re volvers In his hands. These were levelled at the bartender and the men back of him. The command 'to ' lift his hands was repeated to Nlttlor three times before he responded. Then he backed toward the five men seated around the table , while * the two robbers en tered the room. Nlttler kept his friends back of him In the hope that they would escape , and finally a colored man , Harry Davis , started for the rear door. He was warned to stop , but paid no attention , mak ing an exit through the back door , after which he ran to alarm the neighborhood. In the meantime the first Intruder kept his revolver pointed at the men who had risen around the table. They held their hands well up , although Nlttlor says he liad time to take bis watch and drop It down his trousers leg , whore It landed In his stock- Ing. The second man went behind the bar , where ho Jerked open the cash drawer and took possession of It. Both appeared to have boon greatly exclled by the escape of Davis and the one behind the bar was admonished several times that he had better hasten In his work. Finally ha came out with the drawer under his arm and the pair backed through the door , making their escape with out difficulty. John Miller , one of tue men held up , followed the robbers to Sixteenth and Center streets and then gave up the choco. They dropped the drawer about a block from the snloon. It Is estimated that the drawer contained less than $3 , as the bartender had removed the cash for the nlsht. Nlttler described the Intrudcm as men of medium belght , who seemed to have the appearance of boys. They were rather roughly dressed , wearing overcoats some what worn. He thinks they had on caps. One wore a black handkerchief over the upper half of his face nnd the other a light one. The police were called , but they could get no trace of the thieves. Charles Johnson and John Rogner were ar rested at Fourteenth and Douglas streets two hours later on suspicion of having com mitted the robbery. Joe Cook was also brought In from his homo on Eighteenth street. The men said that they had at tended n dance In Patterson hall and were on their way home , being In itho vicinity of the Paxton & Vlerllns foundry when the patrol wagon passed them on the way out to the scene of the robbery. This Is ac counted a suspicious admission by the police , because had the men walked rapidly or ran they would have gotten about this distance from 200G South Sixteenth street by the time the wagon was due to pass that point. While only two men were In the saloon It Is believed the third may have been acting ns a sentinel on the outside. Rogner has been arrested before by the police. lie was bound over to the district court for robbing a tailor shop and Jumped bis bond. He was also accused of horse stealing. i Johnson Is a new man to the po lice , but Cook Is known by a number of aliases. The five white men who were In the sa loon ' called at the station to eee the suspects , but were unable to Identify them positively. They said there was n resemblance , but they could not be sure. BALL SUES FOR DAMAGES nmlilciitM of Vnllpj- with Uin Salonu lu u Svnrcli for Evidence Atjulimt Him , William Dnll , the proprietor of a naloon In Valley precinct , has bCKtin a suit for dam ages on account of persecution to which he aliepen bo has been subjected. Lost July Dall was arrrsttxl on a warrant sworn out before Justice of the Peace W , H. Strain , by which ho waa charsed with the Illegal sale of liquor. He was locked up for two days and during this time the com plainants , Ball alleges , ranEnclied his place from cellar to garret In search of evidence with which to make their case stick. When It came to a trial the case was thrown out of court and Dall was dlBinlnsed. Now he declares that his trouble was caused by a conspiracy on the part of Charles Harrier , Peter Muller , Charles Rice nnd Simon Rice. Ho afllrms that the warrant was not sworn out In good faith and consequently he wants damages In the sum of $5,100. Vim AUtlne TVInn HU Stilt. A. J.

Tbe case was argued before Judge Baxter and a Judg ment was rendered by which Van Alstlno U warded the entire um sued for on the origi nal contract , which amounts to nearly $400. The extra $100 per month which Van Alntlne asked for on account of extra work In carryIng - Ing mall back and forth from the exposition was denied.

CLEVELAND , Jan. 23. J. Francis Le- baron , formerly an engineer connected with the Nicaragua canal , who a short time ago announced ho had discovered a route for the canal which would cost $22,000,000 less than any proposed and which he claimed the commissioners refused to consider , has written a statsment In which ho says In part : "My attention has been called to a pub lished denial from amember of the Nicaragua Canal commission of my assertion that I had offered to go to Washington and explain my proposed route to the commission. Such denial coming from a member of the com mission Is unaccountable and I can only explain It by supposing that the member to whom I wrote failed to bring the matter to the attention of the commission. When the commission was first appointed I wrote to Prof. Haupt , a member of the commission , and not only offered to go to Washington to explain my proposed line , but go to Nicaragua and point out the line on the ground. "Moreover , I have a letter In reply from the member named , asklnfTTno to disclose the location of the line by letter , to which I replied that I was unwilling to < lo this , as I looked on the matter entirely from a professional standpoint , nnd whllo I had no route to sell and did not ask or expect the government to pay mo any commissioner or largo bonus.
