D., Aug. 7. (Speclal.)- Tho Danish church organization of this city has Joined with the Norwegian Luth ernn nnd tho united congregations will build a new church. A member of tho city government stated yesterday that the Union Pacific had aban doned Its Idea of enlarging Its switching yards In the northern part ot the city. About two years ago tho Union Pacific first tried to secure additional ground north of the L street viaduct for the purpose of laying additional tracks. Opposition was encountered at almost every step In the proceedings and It Is now'stnted that the plan has been entirety abandoned. At the time thu railroad company asked the coun cil to vacate the stub ends of A, U, C, D and E fetreets from Commercial street to the company's right of way It made propo sitions to thu owners of property north of L street. Tho council hesitated about va cating theso stub ends ot streets, although they have never been opened and tho prices on tho property sought by purchase went up with umazlng rapidity. Then when It be came evident that tho council would grant the request of thu railroad company, upon the representation that about J500.000 would bo spent, certain properly owners secured nn order of tho court restraining the conn. ell from vacating tho stub ends ot streets and there the matter rested. Tho result Is that when the work now going on In the northern part of tho city Is completed main line passenger trains will cut straight across and not como within a mile and a halt ot the present Union Pacific depot. On recount of the abandonment of the plans for Increased railroad yards In tho northern part of tho city the Union Pacific has turned Its attention to the south nnd a day or two ago extensive Improvements south of Albright were started. Quite number of Bide tracks for Btoragc and switching of cars of various sorts will be laid and a number of other changes made hi order to secure additional room for trackage tho courso of Mud creek In the vicinity of Harrison street Is to be changed slightly. On account of this change the Union Pacific has agreed to construct now brldgo across the creek at Harrison street. This will snve the city $2j0 or thereabouts, as preparations were being mndo for tho construction of a new bridge by the city. Just how much money will bo spent In tho Improvements now going on Is not known, as all of tho estimates are not In. Great quantities of Sherman gravol are being unloaded In this vicinity and tho new freight yards will be heavily ballasted with this material. It was stated by n railroad official yes tcrday that on account of the cut-off In tho northern part of the city thu Union Pacific will not bo, Incouvenlenced In the least by the rofusal of' the council to grant tho ro- quest made two years ago. Ilrlny on IIoimIh. A couple of months ago the city sold to , W. Hoobler an Issue of J30,000 refunding bonds drawing Interest at tho rate of 4 V4 per cent. Up to tho present time Mr, Hoobler has not paid tor the bonds, al though tho city officials have done every thing to expcdlto matters. After tho bonds had boen submitted lto Mr.i Hoobler's at torncy h request wns made for a certified copy of the city charter. It was necessary to scud to Lincoln for this and some little delay ensued, as the charter. Is not yet printed ready for distribution. About week ago Mr. Hoobler called up the city clerk nnd asked for additional Information Slnco that time nothing has been heard from him and tho ofllclals of tho city nrc becoming anxious. Theso bonds have been declared good by attorneys and tho delay of Mr. hoobler cannot bo understood by tho authorities. MoNcly C'hnnliiK Wllilentn. Deputy Postmaster Harvey D.

Y., May 1 to Nov. 1, will be one of the greatest and most beauti ful expositions the world has known. To enjoy its beauties will be worth any effort. The question of traveling to and from Buffalo is one to be carefully considered. You will desire to travel by the route affording the most comfort and interest. The return trip, too, must be considered, as after you have done the Exposition, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and vicinity, you'll be tired and wish to reach home quickly. Lake Shore and nichigan Southern Railway as the leading line to Buffalo by reason of the frequency of its trains and the certainty and punctuality of their move ment will best meet this requirement. It is the only double track line, and the completeness of its service eight through trains daily among them the only daylight train, places it at the forefront among Eastern roads. The country traversed is the fairest and richest of the Middle States the most interesting on the way to Buffalo. i,ll tlokclor thltrnntotirnrd urn of tMtst.rr ltlir wnibot.n PloTeUnd n4 lgflio.lo ioii at ('haiitiiiniioii mturu trip wllhui limit nl tlekot.
