RUMORS OF CONSOLIDATION ARE RIFE A H Tna;lbl News Follows Open lug aad Thf Is Hoar? noallslaa- Prices Go to " Lower Lorela. NEW YORK, Keb. 16. Speculative excite ment was rampant on the Stock exchange this morning. The largest trading centered about the stocks aft acted by the long-time rumor of a railroad combination across the continent from ocean to ocean, including New York Central, Chicago & Northwest ern and Union Pacific Thoss stocks w"e all violently affected and spread a sympa thetic influence into other stocks tn a modi fled degree. Opening sales ot New York Central were ot 10.000 share all the way from 16 to 169. . Union Pacino was bought at the opening to the extent of 16.000 shares from 14 to 137. It subsequently touched an eighth higher before reacting. . The rla in Northwestern ran to T points and its subsidiary stocks, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis a Omaha, to 4 points. . The opening bulge Involved heavy realis ing and there were sharp reactions from the top level. New York Central fell back IV. Union Pacino to W and Northwestern 6 points. There were heavy dealings in Penn sylvania, apparently in sympathy with the New York Central movement. tn opening seles of 16.000 shares running from HZVi to 14244, with a subsequent rise to 143H- That stock also subsequently ran off a point. Iteaetloa Takes Place. . The whole market yielded during the course of the first hour and prices In some easts fell beiowt last night. The opening gain In a number of stocks had run from 1 to I points and upward. Toe material advances at the opening re atvee additional Impetus from London, where the range fpr Americans was gen erally higher, due no doubt to buying orders received from New York. Of the several stocks that opened Penn sylvania was most generally bought. Brok ers representing Philadelphia and other out-of-town houses were, large purchasers of this stock. Commission houses as a rule reported increased business from various out-of-town points. The buying of Pennsylvania, Union Pa cino, New York Central and several of the more active issues waa of such Indiscrimi nate and general character as to defy analysis. Naturally the concurrent rise in New York Central. Pennsylvania and Northwestern, the latter gaining several points soon after the opening, gave the rise to renewed gossip as to deals, mergers and the like. Of actual news there waa none. The southern Iron and coke properties, which were the chief features of strength a few days ago, were today rather reaction ary. The late bulge in the leaders was taken advantage of for very heavy realising !n the general list and Union Pacino waa un der constant pressure. The market closed highly Irregular, but Pennsylvania was very buoyant, selling as high as 144'. Union Pacinc closed unchanged from last night. The tone of the stock market was fever ish and unsettled for a time, with heavy realising In the active leaders, but after the appearance of the favorable bank state ment the most active stocks shot up agsln and the market became very ' animated again. New York Central touched lsovi. Pennsylvania went near to 144 and St. Paul touched 180. ,' Union Pacino met heavy offerings, which kept it below Its previous high price ' Nomlaatloae by t-re.ldcat.

OLD RECORDS THAT ARE BADLY MIXED Papers Relating to Early and Im portant Transaction ' Stored with Little Regard to Or-' der or Accessibility, No glee that is particularly noticeable Is manifested by the principal custodians of public records and documents . in . Omaha over the legislative' bill which proposes to make It optional with the custodian whether or not he shall turn over docu ments more than twenty years old which are not needed In the transaction of busi ness to the State Historical society for preservation at Lincoln. That is to say, such books and records as the State Historical society curators think would be well to have. This attitude on the part of the custodians may or may not be due to the fact that the public records more than twenty years old, so far as original docu ments are ' concerned, are not precisely easy of 'access and nice to handle. In fact the general condition of these antiquated papers may be described as Jumbled. A big vault underneath' the court house holds an Immense quantity of matter, relevant and Irrelevant, and altogether Im possible to, an orderly, methodical man. In fact it positively gives the clerks In the courtly clerk's office a headache to think about this vault. About once every six months one of them, preferably Frank Dewey, has to dive Into the hetrogeneous collection and endeavor to extract certain faded and discolored papers. Sometimes Mr. Dewey spends days below the surface of the broad, free earth. At other time he reappears In the course of a few hours from his underground retreat without hobbles on bis smile and itching for a wide play where he can do a few can-can steps expressive of delight. Dewey Knowe They Are There. The most heart-rending part of this performance Is that, no matter how dis couraging the delving may seem or how many weeks It may require, Mr. Dewey feels in his heart that the desired records are there. If he could only look awhile and quit with a clearance card for his conscience, based on the theory that the records are incomplete and faulty, it wouldn't be so bad. But there is a popu'ar tradition at the court house that there Is nothing above the earth that cannot be found below the earth, so there you are, with nothing to do but look for It until you find it. At the city ball it Is not quite so bad. There some one has had a fancy for storing ancient writings In old soap boxes. There are the boxes. Any one can see them by politely asking City Clerk Elbourn for the privilege. You can observe the decora tions on the sides of the boxes and the names of the Arms that made the soap as long as you please ' But what Is In the boxes? One might find out by taking a year off from his regular duties and paw ing over said . writings, but he must be a man 6f unlimited patience, not afraid to soil his hands and courageous enough to let his nostrils and lungs get stopped up with dust. No doubt It would be Interest ing, but a person would be willing to give odds that the Job would take longer than a year. There are many soap boxes. , Coateats of the Soap Boxes. "What Is there In the soap boxes that would appeal to the State Historical so ciety T" "That is something that no one knows," responds a person who knnws pretty much all that Is necessary to know about city records that are of any Immediate and mercenary use to man. "Doubtless many documents in those boxes would be valua ble In the society's archives. There are funny proclamations saying that Mormons will no longer be allowed to camp at Omaha, because pestilence of some kind always follows them; Interesting resolu tions and motions concerning means ot protection against bands of marauding In dians; edict from the mayors ordering all dogs to be muzzled or shot, for the mnd dog scare worried the early mayors a lot. The resignation of George Armstrong as mayor of Omaha, sp he might enlist In the union army, would probably be inter esting. Various proclamations regarding the calling of volunteers; the reception of returned warriors; measures taken to pro tect the community against lawlessness; what the city government did to welcome Oeneral Orant when he stopped here on his trip around the world; the ordlnaces and resolutions regarding the Union Pacinc bridge, the Union Pacific ant other rail roads and the bonds voted for them. All no. doubt and many others of a slmlllnr Import would appeal to the historian. If ha liked humor a certain famous order forbidding the Mother Hubbard wrapper from the streets of the city might tickle his fancy, . .Not Needed, by City. "Theae original documents, or many of them, are not needed in this office. All that are Important are transcribed In the Journal records of the city council, to which we refer whenever called upon to give out Information of the kind. Nowadays the original documents are carefully preserved and Indexed, but the records twenty years back and before are hopelessly Jumbled together. It would be an Immense task to sort them -out and .properly classify tem.' If a representative of the Historical society would undertake the work and And anything In the boxes that was desired, It would not inconvenience the office or the public In the least to let them go." On the top floor of the city hall may be found Secretary Burgess of the Board of Education. . , "What old records have you ths'c the State Historical society would Want?" was asked. "You've certainly got me," responds Mr. Burgees. "There's a lurge vault buck there full of old documents. Maybe some of them might be Interesting. I don't know. It would be a - del thing if the State Historical society o'.- some other so ciety would take them awuy. We have all the records we want In our Journals and other well bound books. Take a look through the vault, if you want to, and If you don't get through this afternoon come In again tomorrow." The Invitation was respectfully declined. Cobwebs are good enough,' perhaps, to stop bleeding, hut hnrdly any one likes to wallow In them unless he has to. Trouble with the County. ' "Sure, there's lot of stuff down there that would be good for tho Historical so ciety," says Frunk Dewey at the court house. "But it wouldn't be right to let any of It go. Kvcry once In a while some one comes along with a request for a. cer tified copy of un origlnlal document that originated way buck, and we have to dig until we con rind It. Here, when the street railway merger wua made, the attorneys were worried half to death because they couldn't find the old franchise for Dundee. It took three days to get this precious paper, for they said it whs absolutely necessary. Not long ago I had to dig up the bond for a saloon licensed about twenty years ago. The bond was wanted to prove a signature. None of this stuff ought to go to Lincoln. It should, however, be properly Indexed and classified. Doubtless much of It could be thrown away. Perhaps some early Incorporation papers, documents relating to railway and other bond issues, franchises and election returns, might be taken away, but the matter would have to be handled with rare." Records that Are Needed. Early maps, tracings and blue prints In the engineering departments are all needed there and are conslantly referred to by abstracters and others. In the county Judge's office the clerks don't think it would be right to allow wills and docu ments of that kind taken away. In nil branches of the government the records of every neetlng of official bodies, from the first to the last, are absolutely Indis pensable to the proper transaction' of busi ness. These are well kept und preserved and easy of access. But the detached documents of the early years are not In shape to be examined lightly. Again, the early clerks of the Board of County Com missioners had a hublt of simply alluding to valuable documents embodying official transactions and falling to copy them is the record, making the latter worthless) without the other writing. This mokes It particularly hard to separate county docu ments that could safely bo placed in the Historical society's archives. fits lomlnxo la Quiet.
