Secretary Teller it is reported
at Washington has decided not yet to
give out the report of the govern
ment experts who examined the
books of the Union Pacific Railway
Company. He says the officials of
the company protest against it as in
complete, incorrect and unfair. From
the facts in the case he feels inclined 1
to keep the report secret for the
present at least, and may conclude to
order a re-examination of the ac
counts. Bishop Matthew Simpson died at
bis home in Philadelphia June 18, '84,

foro the firo could be got under con
trol it consumed tho; Stewart build
ing, Lubkcr's hotel, Frank Dean's
law office, the commission house of
Baldwin and Rand; J. TV. Thomas,
living over this building, lost all his
household goods. Other families
living over Manner's 6tore lost all
their goods, but the fire companies
and citizens subdued the flames be
fore the Manners store was con
sumed. An accident occurred to the east
bound Cannon Ball train running
between Denver and Kansas City
Tuesday night, the 17th inst., about
9 :30 o'clock which is supposed to be
the work of train wreckers. The ac
cident took place near Hubbel, Neb.,
at an embankment some thirty feet
high, a displaced rail causing the en
gine to fly the track, followed by the
entire train. Fortunately only about
thirty passengers were aboard the
train, and of this number about twen
ty were more or less injured, some
very seriously, but none latally so.
The displaced rail was found to have
attached to it a barbed wire and four
men were seen running away from
near the place of accident, which is
pretty conclusive evidence that the
wreck was tbe work of human fiends
for whom hanging would be a light
punishment.
