In the matter of the Swift Injunction Gen
eral Manager John H. Webster of tlio Omaha
Bridge and Tcrmimil company hns Just filed
tm nllldavlt In which ho gives some state
ments respecting the statu nnd purposes of
Ills cnmtinny.
"Tho company has already expended scv-
craV millions of dollars , " Bays ho. "in the
construction of Its bridge , trucks and termi
nal facilities , nnd for the purpose of Increas
ing Its said terminal facilities In the city ol
Omnhn It Is engaged in the construction of
cxtonelvo additions 1o its plant , which will
includes tracks , yards nnd depot * that will
cost upward of $1,000,000 $ more.
"Tho business of the company Is , among
other things , to furnish terminal facilities
in both Omnha and Council Bluffs for such
interstate railroads as may spok to
do business In said cities and , a *
nmnnRlnR officer of said company , the
deponent L < \ negotiating with a number
of rnllronilfl which contemplate building extensions -
( tensions to Omaha , nnd hag every expecta
tion of Inducing several of them to con
struct their lines to this city and to use the
terminal facilities which the Omaha. Bridge
nnd Terminal Hallway company shall pro
vide for them. In order to Induce said
willroaxls to bring their lines to this city It
la absolutely necessary that the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal company shall bo able
to provide for ald railroad companies do-
jrots and tracks at su < Jh locations In the city
( of Omaha as shall bo near the business cen
ter of the city and convenient for > the use
Oftho general public.
"Tho bringing of mi oh railroads to this
city will bo of Inestimable advantage-
Omaha , and the location of its depots and
terminal facilities will largely Increase the
value of Iho rec.1 estate nnd property In
( proximity of the elto selected.
Intention < i ( ( Inrompniiy. .
"Tho bridge nnd tracks of said company
arc mostly In the northern part of the city
and thcro is but ono unoccupied entrance
Jnto the business part of Omaha from the
north , namely , Fourteenth street , from
Nicholas to Cumlng streets. All of the ter
ritory from the cast aide or Fourteenth
etreet , between Izard and Cumlng streets , to
the Missouri river. Is occupied with a vast
Met work of tracks nnd yards of the Union
Pacific ; ntl of the territory from the west
sldo of Fourteenth , street to near Sixteenth
Btrcet Is occupied by the tracks of the Chicago
cage , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha and
the Missouri Pacific railroads. Immediately
west ot said tracks Is a sleep bluff entirely
Impracticable for railroad purposes.
"It Is not the Intention , " continues Mr.
Webster , In explanation of his company's
plans , "lo construct an ytracks either
along Webster or California streets , but
Blmply to cross them , close alongside other
tracks now crossing said streets ,
nnd some /blocks away from the
properly ot the plaintiff. The track
ncrojia Webster street win be cast
of the Thirteenth street Intersection at n
point where Webster Btrcet is already
closed ; likewise the point at which it Is to
cross California street will bo cast of
Twelfth street , where James O'Rourko hns
occupied the street with his homestead for
the last fifteen years. The company has se
cured from O'llourko a right ot way. Cali
fornia street la already occupied with the
tracks of the Belt Line from Twelfth to
Fourteenth streets , nnd the Omaha Bridge
end Terminal cpmpany's tracks would bo
north and oust of those ot the Dolt Line nnd
on a cart of the street which , has been
Closed to the public. "
Mr. Webster then goes on to show that the
Etreets vacated and closed to the public by
xcnson of other railroad tracks are : Thir
teenth , north ot Webster ; Webster , east of
lot 7 , block 35f > ; Twelfth , north of lot 5 ,
block 5 , nnd California , east of lot 0 , block 5.
Allusion is also made In the document to the
fact that in 1879 and 1880 the Omaha
& Northwestern condemned Its right
of way across Webster and Cali
fornia streets , southwctit ot the grant ot
the Union Pacific , nnd slnco then its suc
cessor , the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis &
Omaha , has occupied these tracks. The part
of Webster street , ho states , which the Union
( Pacific hns occupied for many years , south
and west of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minne
apolis & Omaha , will bo the part occupied
Iby the Drldgo and Terminal company's
track. The only place where the track will
cross Thirteenth street Is between Burt and
Webster , within the private grounds of the
Union 1'nclfic.
air. Webster denies that thereIs are to bo
nny tracks on Thirteenth. Webster or Cali
fornia streets , that will in any way result
in dnmagn to Swift's property.
Affidavits have also been filed by Thomas
Bwlft and Anton Gsantncr , the parties who
Imvu obtained restraining orders against the
company. Swift fears that nn extra switch
track on California street would add to
the noise and smoke which be says the res
idents have been rnnde to suffer In the
past. Thu point Osantnor makes is that an
other track will Impede Ingress nnd egress
to and from the Union Pacific grounds at the
California street entrance. Both sot up the
contention that the uolse and smoke of the
engines constitute a menace to the value ol
looutlguous property for residence purposes ,

The solo of the Vnnklon , Norfolk & South-

much Interest by local Jobbers ftnd member *
of the Commercial club who have Interests !
themselves In the project to secure direct
connections with the Dakota * , It Is in line
with ttio plans suggested when the Com
mercial clubs of Yankton nnd Norfolk visIted -
Ited Omaha some tlmo ago , and It Is be-
lloved that A connection from Norfolk to
Onuha Is the logical result of the purchase
ami completion of the eighty-five mile strip
from Vanklon to Norfolk.
Secretary Hit of the Commercial club has
written to Yivnkton to endeavor to Beoiiro
more definite Information In regard to the
plans of the new owner of the Yankton.
Norfolk & Southwestern , and In the mean-
tlmo It Is believed that the extension to
Omaha Is the only purpose that could Induce
any ono to purchase the property. It is con
tended that a line from Yankton to Norfolk
would bo manifestly nonnupportlng. To put
the nxul on a paying basis It must bo ex
tended to some trade center , and Omaha la
the only nuch terminal that can be reached.
Consequently the local Jobbers are coflfldont
that the step U fairly in the direction of
the proposed Yankton-Omnho. connection
that has been so ardently desired.

The telegraphers are now working under
a , schedule which was adopted by the receiv

hero are ten-hour , clcvcn-liour and twclve-
jour days , and nil men are paid for over-
Ime. Thp overtime allowance -was secured
n 1892 , and has been In force to the present
time.
The committee has been reduced to five
iicmbcrs , live having returned to their

as there is nothing more 1o do now than to
conduct negotiations with the railroad com-
mny , which five can handle as well as twice

SEATTLE. F < 0 > . 8. William N. Tiffany of
York and William R , Llewellyn , who
negotiated the franchise and right of way
along the proposed route of the Seattle-
Portland railway , have arrived in Seattle to
arrange the final details for beginning the
work. Mr. Llowellyn , representing Mr.
Tiffany and the oth r eastern Investors In
; he enterprise , said : "We have no fettering
alliance or arrangements with the Union
Pacific or any other road. We have no con
nection whatever with the Vanderbllt system.
The line will toe built by Mr. Tiffany and a
syndicate- his friends. It Mr. Tiffany finds
that my representations are correct , that the
proposed plan ks feasible , and itbat the people
of Seattle , Tacoma and Portland want the
road , It will be built. I have no doubt of the
decision. "
The line will not follow the old route of
the Union Pacific , but It will be on a boo
Ine between Seattle and Portland , touching
nt Tacoma tfh the way. The growing Im-
icrtanco of the trade between Seattle and
: ho south , connecting In Portland with the
Southern Pacific and the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation company's lines , Is given as
the reason for the establishment ot the new
Ino.
AI rny Vu-yn III" Fare.
President Blackstone of the Alton road ,
whoso defense of the Interests of the stock
holders of the road may interfere with the
Bchemo ot n New York syndicate to purchase
.ho system , occupies n unique position In the
railway world. Ho has been president ot
the Alton for some thirty years , and during
the whole of that period has steadfastly re
fused to accept n dollar of salary. Tlma
after time the directors have Bsked him to
name his own remuneration and he has in
variably refused to do so. While the Alton
road under Mr. Blackatonc lias always been
generous In the matter of giving transpor
tation the president has been elow to ask
similar favors from other roads. He has
Insisted upon paying full fares for the mem-
tiers of his family and nan refused to accept
passes for them , saying that the annual pass
sent to himself as president ot the Alton is
all that ho is entitled to.
Speed of FrelaM Trnlnn.
At the conference of the managers of the
Chicago-Omaha roads at Chicago last Mon
day on Hhe question of fast trains , the
Bpcod of freight trains was also considered.
There has been no attempt to equalize the
speed of those trains either cast or west.
This applies to fruit and provision train *
eastward and merchandise trains.westward.
This was referral to the various superin
tendents of the different roads to report
upon some line of tctfon which may romcdy
the discrepancies. Tbe fast passenger train
scrvieo was also referred to a committee
which it Is believed "will make a. report
Thursday.

SEWER REPAIR GANG LAID OFF
Clinlrmnn Itnictrnter of Hoard ot
J'uMloVorkn Sny There In No
Money to 1'iiy Snliirlcs ,
Chairman Rosewater of the Board of Tub-
He Works has discharged the sewer repair
gang , owing to the fact that the 1899 levy
ns proposed does not provide enough raonoy
to pay the wages. This gang lias boon called
upon to repair breaks In sewers which are
occurring frequently and hns been subject
to call work for olttior day or night. From
five to Bovcn men have composed the gang.
Two gangs have hi the past been employed
to l ccp sewers In repair , the sewer repair
gang nnd what Is kuowu as the Hushing
gang. The former repaired brcaki , while
the latter Itcpt the sewers clear by Ilimhlng
them. Both gangs could bo employed In
past ycara , because ordinarily $10,000 has
been the levy for the sewer maintaining
fund. In tlio proposed 1S09 levy but $3,490.70
Is net aside.
"Both gangs nro necessary , but the flushIng -
Ing gang Is less expensive than
the other , " says Chairman Hosowatcr ,
"Tho latter Is raado up of a foreman nnd
a horse at a salary of $85 a month , two
men at $60 a month each ami one man at SCO.
The monthly payroll amounts to J255. For
the year , therefore , the gang costs $3OCO.
The appropriation for sewer maintaining Is
ibut $3.490 and after deducting the 10 per
cent reserve there Is barely enough left to
pay for necessary toole. The board must ,
therefore , dispense with one of the gangs. "
"WJiat win you do If a serious break oc
curs In a sewer ? " was asked.
"That I cannot tell. I do not see that
the board can do anything if It has no re
pair men. "
City Comptroller Westberg , who Is another
member of the Donrd of Public Works , de
clares that the appropriation for the- fund
is rUlculously low. He says that the work
of repairing the sewers baa been conducted
os economically as Is possible.
