Dixon and Miss Edna, who have been visiting Plattsmouth relatives and friends for a week or two past, arrived home on 3, Wednesday night. A good many people are waiting for a lower railroad rate in order to visit the World’s Fair but the prospects for a reduction of the rate now in force are not flattering just at present. Charlie Coleman and family, who have been visiting in Illinois and taking in the . world’s fair, arrvied home on one, Monday noon. They report having had a splendid visit. Pursuant to orders from headquarters all heavy work in the repair line will be done at Havelock, hereafter, in order to subserve economy. This will materially reduce the force of men employed in the various repairing de partments here. Fifty thousand dollars, the largest sum ever paid by an American Railway compa ny for injuries to a single person, will be paid by the New York Central railway to Mrs. Homer R. Baldwin of Yonkers, within a few days, in settlement tor the injuries she received in the disaster at Hastings on Christmas eve, 1891. The accident was a rear end collision and the result of carelessness in signaling. Paducah, Tennessee & Alabama Railroad Company and Tennessee Midland Railway Company. St. Louis, Mo., July 1st, 1893. Mr. A. J. Welch is hereby appointed General Passenger and Ticket Agent of these lines; he will also perform the duties of Assistant General Freight Agent as heretofore, with office at Memphis, Tenn., instead of Paducah, Ky. Effective this date. T. J. Moss, President. The Nebraska and Sonora Prospecting and Development Co., is the name of a Nebraska corporation that filed articles with the secre tary of state Tuesday. The headquarters of the company will be at McCook and the capi tal stock 850,000. G. R. Johnson and twelve others are the incorporators and the object of the company to delve deep into the bowels of the earth for minerals which they are prone to believe exist near McCook, (Mexico.)—Lin coln Journal. — Charlie, son of Engineer A. J. Chambers, arrived home first of the week. Extra Agent II. Bardon is filling the count's boots during the agent’s absence in Illinois. Engineer and Airs. W. VV. Archibald left on 6 Saturday evening, on a visit to the world’s fair. Economy is the watchword in all depart ments, and the force of men is being cut down to the lowest notch possible. Conductor A. II. Chapin and family left on 6, Tuesday evening, for Ashtabula, Ohio, on an extended visit to their old home. Mrs. J‘ D. McAlpine has been down from Denver since first of the week guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. VV. Knights. A Special stock train of thirteen cars came down from Culbertson, Tuesday afternoon. Heber pulled them. The stock were shipped by Vastine and Terwilleger. George J. Frederick, train director at the Oxford station, spent a few hours in the city, Saturday afternoon, seeing oldtime friends and on some matters of business. Engines 241 and 235 started back to Mc Cook Thursday morning. The McCook boys were glad to go home and the Alliance boys were glad to have them.—Alliance Times. Charley Price, a Burlington engineer out of McCook before the strike, greeted his friends here, Saturday, on his way through. He is now running out of Grand Junction, Colorado. Orders have been given for a very material reduction to the carpenter’s force here. The present force numbers between thirty and forty, and will be cut down to about half the men. E.I'l.Andrus, the Burlington’s wind-bag im migration agent, will make his headquarters in Sheridan,Wyoming, in the future, and will work to secure the Settlement of the country along the company’s Wyoming lines. Ilarry Guyton of the B. & M. force has been promoted and is now firing extra. Charley Ball has gone east on a visit and Sam Gilcrest is working in his place in the B. & M. yards here.—Akron Republican. Engineer Conner and Fireman Henderson with 235, and Engineer Tom Haley and Fire man Beal with 241, who have been up on the Alliance line for a few weeks during the cattle shipment season, arrived home Saturday last. The north and south railroad convention is now in session in Lincoln. The opening at tendance was somewhat a surprise and dis couragement to many, but the number of dele gates are expected to swell as the conven tion continues. The show outfit Monday night made an un provoked assault with clubs on Attorney L. O. Stevens, and bruised him up badly. They are simply an organized body of thugs and thieves, and should have never been allowed to get out of town. McCook heard of their actions here, and about three hundred railroad boys laid off to be ready for them.—Akron Re publican. A passenger created much amusement at the depot, Monday evening, in unsuccessfully attempting to board No. 6 in motion. He was quite a sprinter for a heavy, dignified man, but as one of the boys remarked, “He couldn’t cut her." Just as he was about to grasp the step railing of the last receding Pullman he gave up and commenced to frantically signal for the train to stop. But she stopped not. The B. & M. is cutting down on their num ber of employes along their different lines on account of the falling off of freight traffic. And through this we lose Mr. McKinney who has been an assistant at this point. He was changed to Indianola, leaving last Mon day. He was a bright, industrious young em ploye and we, as well as many more, are sorry to lose him from our fraternity. Indianola gams our loss. Success to him.—Imperial Enterprise. The latest railroad news is to the effect that President T. F. Oaks, of the Northern Pacific, is to become president of the Burlington sys tem. J. M. Forbes has resigned as president of the board of directors and President Per kins will succeed him, thus creating the va cancy that President Oakes will fill. Mr. Oakes is one of the ablest railroad men in the west, and if he goes to the Burlington it will be a winning move for that road.—Lincoln Call. Ths remains of If. W. Aliller, the notice of whose death on the tram at Akron, Colorado, we published two weeks ago, were brought to Palisade several days since, and the funeral had yesterday from the Methodist church. The services were conducted by Rev. Madely ac cording to the ritual of the Episcopal church, of which deceased was a member. The cir cumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Miller makes the case one of peculiar sadness. Deceased leaves a w’ife and one child toinourn his loss.—Palisade Times. Speaking of the abandonment of trains on branch lines of the B. & M. Auditor Taylor said Wednesday: “I have ascertained that it costs the B. & M. $i.02'A per mile to run its passenger and freight trains. This includes everything except fixed charges. While out on one of our branch roads some time ago I rode 184 miles and only four persons occupied the train in that time. Now it is reasonable to suppose that a railroad cannot operate a train on that amount of business. On another train, by actual figures, its earnings were $9.50 per day, whereas it costs 895 to operate the train during the same length of time. There has been nothing done by the B. & M. people to warrant the assertion made by the public that we are discontinuing trains to make more odious the maximum rate law. The whole truth is that there is not business enough to warrant the continuance of trains on branch lines when people will not patronize them.’’ We Say What We Mean ....AND..., MEAN WHAT A&WE SAY^i Onr Semi-Annual Clearance Sale o-o P-o All Summer Goods NOW IN PROGRESS.
