A New Foundry and Machine Shop ThoMplIno Plow Go's Ijoontloii -Collapse or u Sumll Fire. The U. P. nnd Prosperity. Last night , 8:21 : o'clock precisely , a spe cial over the Union Pacific from Lincoln rolled into Union depot. Hy a singular coincidence the number of the engine drawing the train was 821. Four cars followed the engine. They were 03 , 05 , 03 and 010. They were the cars of o Ulcers - of the Union Pacific * They were occu pied by Charles I-1. Adams , president of the Union Pacific ; J. Q. Adams , Ill's brother , Manager Callawuy , twd Amos , dlrcctoi ; Superintendent Smith , Master Mechanic Hack ney , Storekeeper Hums , Assistant Superintendent Dickonson , Coal Agent I ) . 0. Clark. W. F. Tibbctl , and Chief Engineer Hllcknnsdorfor. The party with the exception of Mr. Adams , took carriages and drove to the Millard and Paxton hotelsi Air. Adams walked with the BKIJ reporter Up to the former , where ho remained in conversation with a number bor of people up to a late hour. Ho was looking bronzed as if from exposure to the elements. Mr. Adams said that ho was pleased to learn of Omaha's prosperity. Ho had lioen over only the main line and a part of the Utah .Y Northern. The trip had lasted nearly three weeks and had boon a noiirco of pleasure to everyone as well as profit to the road. The trip was under taken to gct.a knowledge of what was re quired in the way of material and other matters concerning the road. They felt prepared to undertake Iho esti mates of expense which _ are generally made in Iho spring. TIQ | Union Pacific , Mr. Adams thought , had a future. 11 was that of the country I throught which it passed. If that sullied 1 lied and prospered , Iho Union Pacific would also prosper. As to whether it was getting its share of the through business , ho felt that the management had at least striven for it and ho thought that they rought lo conlinue lo slrivo for more. Ho was pleased to learn that the present officers were acting in a manner to make friends of the patrons of the road instead of enemies as the previous management had done by disregard of thu rights of Iho people who were depending upon Ihcm for Iho facilities which they never re ceived. Iu regard to the question as to whether tho. present headquarters in Omaha were to bo .surmounted by another story , Mr. Adams stated that ho know nothing about the matter. Ho know a new au dition was being erected , but as ho had not been hero in a year , no did not know how it would bo completed. - Ho said the company would build no branch lines , at least tor the present. It could not build them , because it was hampered with and depended so much upon congressional legislation. Until the questions affecting thu road now pending before that body should bo settled in favor of the company , the lat ter would bojn.so uncertain a state as to discourage tmy advancement as that of . constructing the branches suggested. The same was true with regard to the proposed union depot. Ho did not think it would bo built , for some time at least. Like the branches , it depended upon congress. Nothing had thus far boon done in the premises , neither would anything bo done until the termin ation of tnc move now made in socking relief from congress. The nso of the now bridge , now being huilt ever the Missouri , by other roads was just ns greatly enveloped in doubt , and IicTkrtow not when it would bo made to appear so as to bo read by everybody , Mr. Adams concluded by staling there wore many things with which ho was not familiar. They were details belong ing to the local management , and there ho had been in the habit of allowing them lolrest. This morning at 9 o'clock President Adams nnd party will go to the Bluffs ami spend the day in inspecting tlio road and city , returning in lime for Ilio compli mentary banquet to bo tendered him in Iho evening at Hie Omaha club. lie loaves on Saturday for Chicago.

Experiences Thnt Knll to All Iiovors of the Pipe and CiRnr. "Will you kindly oblige mo with a light ? " "Certainly , " "Tluuik iroodni'ss , " said the Iirst gon- ( Ionian lo himself as ho walked ou his way rejoicing and blowing clouds of blun smoke from his relighted oiirnr. Ho Inul n common nxporiuiiro with smokors. Ho had walked three or four blocks with his cigar out , and soelm ? smokers approach had passed two or thrco of thorn without inking for a light from a fear of refusal. The next ho asked , having determined not to lot any moro pass , and was told by the stranger that his cigar was not burn ing. Another ho slopped proved lo beef of the class who are called "dry smok ers. " chewing ou the end of the elgar and never lighting It , while yet another offered his inch long cigar slump , the weak light of which was extinguished in the attempt to obtain a light Securing a light after llieso experiences Ilio smoker participated in that comfort and enjoy ment from the use or tlio weed that had been enjoyed by hfs allocators for three or four centuries. The savages on the virgin Islands of this continent when discovered by Columbus , nearly four hundred ycara ago , wcro found smoking the twisted leaves of the tobacco plant growing in a wild stato. To-day the smoker has his choice from tlio ' 'two-for-a-eent" ' - - - cigar to $1 for a "Flora do Ola Ola" imported trom tlio same island where Columbus learned to smoke from Hie untutored bavagc. Ho has also choice of tobaccos for smoking in pipes ot in cigarettes. Poetry and song have sung thn charms of the smoke god. The clouds of incense have lloaled up in his honor , when , in company together , after work , kindred hearts united in brotherhood fellowship. "Castles in Spain" have boon depicted in tlio airy folds of the clouds of rising blue smoke , while from many a boat or shady veranda overlooking a river or lake is heard In the summer-evening twilight the voleo of the singer chanting the familiar song ending : When olT the blue Cauailes I smoked my last cigar. Art has also lent her gracious aid to the comfort and enjoyment of the smoker in supplying him with beautifully carved meerschaum pipes and cigar and cigar ette holders. Iho finer work is done in Europe by special artists , no design being repealed , while Iho common designs of horses and dogs are repeated by thu thou sands. The special carvings include designs - signs lo suit Ilio taste ot the smoker. There are finely carved heads of the Em peror William and of Uismarck in meer schaum , showing different colors , as also heads of Arabs and Turks and of no chil dren. The scene from "Hamlet , " where the melancholy Dane stands at the open grave , and , holding in his hum ! the skull , exclaims "Alas , poor Yorickl" has been artistically preserved by a finely molded Hkull , resting on a long , dolieatc hand like that of Irving. The most artistic work found in meer schaum is that in which the artist under takes to rival the Venus do Milo or Eurv- dice in chiseling a form of beauty in tfio delicate material of amber. The artist also enters the field of ballot dancers both jn action and repose , and the work showing different shades of meerschaum is very line and very expensive , some of Iho pipes and cigarlioldors so decorated being valued at Irom $7o to JloO. Smokers iu this city arc divided into different classes those who smoke on the street and these who do not , those who smoke excessively and these who smoke moderately. Then there arc those who smoke for indigestion's sake , al though if a smoker will ask his doctor if it bo injurious to health lo smoke at all he will answer yes , although having at the time a cigar in his own mouth. Na tionality , also has little to do with a man's ' smoking. The Englishman smokes his briar-wood pipe , and would still like to got his "cut cavendish. " Most of tlio Irishmen who have not climbed above the scale of manual labor and become politicians by profession smoke the old cluy pipe , black with ago. and the "mild" clothiers and ancient Irish dames do likewise ; and tong may they enjoy them selves. Most Americans 'and a largo number of acclimatized foreigners smoke nothing but cigars , tlio young generation and dudes resorting to cigarettes. The cob pipe is. used , ho'vover , by a good immy Americans , especially iu the south. It was while enjoying the soothing effects of a btroiig whiff at the old cob pipe a constant friend , after returning from a struggle with his satanic majesty , that the evangelists , Sam Jones and Sam Small , found solace and rest and pre pared themselves for another fight with the enemy. Every ono saw how , after giving up smoking , they became sick and nervous-and seemed to lose heart in their work. The doled far hicnto of a smoker may bp found whun. after the nuts and wine ho .stretches his foot under the mahogany and with a pleasant company joins in the conversation of a line aromatic cigar into blue othcrial clouds. Or in the moment when the task of labor , mental or physical " ' cal , exhaustive of strength , is done , "ns'tho stream of Lctho is crossed upon the loaves of the nicotnina tabueium. Or where some summer night , lloatingdown with Iho lido on a mighty river , tlio waters Jlluminated.by Iho rays of palo Luna , the body at rest , the mind creates lairy caslii-s of Spam in the fragrant clouds of thoi"last cigar. " Smoking is _ nol very general on the crowded public streets , except at the noon hour , when the clerks and others , minor city officials , who are not allowed to use pipe or cigar in their oflices or workshops , are out for lunch nnd rest , Alsuch time the smoking sometimes on tlio crowded sidewalks is watted into the faces of lady Miopporp. When puffs of smoke are seen ahead from ono or two leisurely "gentlemen , " tlio wide berth given by overtaking ladies to tlio smoke is millioiont lo account lor the "whows ! " ami "oh , how disagreeable ! " that escapes from their lips. FROM THE H USE GALLERY. A Legislative Uody in Which the Ituld-hended Men Have a Majority. Washington Star : Looking down on it from the gallery , the house of represen tatives presents a scene of picturesque baldness. It is as bald as the orchestra at a ballot. Ono of the men who shows the mo-t head to the number of hairs vis ible is Mr. Hcnnolt , of North Carolina , who said the other day , concerning the civil scrvicu reform , what many demo , crats fool. Ho has a largo head , which baldness rather becomes , and thu lack of hair on the crown is made up for by an immense beard. Thoru are compara tively few men in the house who have not some sign of baldness , though some of thorn are quite young.Mr , Cumphill , of Ohio , is ono of the very young bald- headed men. Considerable of his head lias been oloarcd. Mr. Reed , of Maine , has a head as round as an apple and ns smooth on the top as il ho polished his wit ihoro. No emi looking at its surface could guess how much shrewdness there is iusido. II is one of the most deceiving heads hi the house , Tillman , of South Carolina , has a good head , without much hair to cover it. What ho has is snow-white , like his board , which is moro prolific. As a whole , the heads in thc'houfio compare favorably with these in preceding con gresses' , both as to S1/.0 , shape and bald- ness. Crisp , of Georgia , has what might bo termed a good-natured bald head , one thai would attract uttontlou from the galleries , but would not suggest the idea of iu owner being aged , which la by no means Iho ease. It u ayotithful.comfort- abln , satisfactory baldhcad one that it is pleasant to look nt. Hrown , of Pennsylvania , is moro coiv sclous of his baldness than anybody else Evtiry now nnd then ho rubs his handover ever the top of his head , to the great dis- comlitnro of the short hairs , that are claiming the right of settlement thoro. McMillan , of Tennessee , and James , of New York , try to conceal thulr bald- tie < ! by combing the hair ever from one side , Several members' wenrwlg-i. Hliigham , of Philadelphia , makes no attempt to conceal that Iho top of his head is lee slippery for hair to stand on. It has boon slipping down until It just hangs on to the edges , ( Sllllllaii , Miller and We-a - are nuito bald , ami Wudo has Very little hair to speak of. Randall HUH just n little vacant ( pot right about the crown , the lust of his head bolug pretty thiokly covered , and Carlisle lias quite a big bald spot. Rannoy and Hrockonrldgo.of Kontuckj' , could spare enough hair to cover the hoadfl of some of thuir brethren. Rannuy has n line head of stool-gray hair , nuito likely to attract attention , while Hrockon- ridge has a beautiful suit of .soft snowy hair , matching a well-trimmed thick white board and contrasting with a youthful facn. The house is llllod up mostly of average sized men of middle ago. Humes , of Georgia , Illls his chair thu fullest and has the most trouble to carry his weight around. Hut there are a number of oth ers who run considerably ever 200 pounds. Hakor. of Now York , would probably hold the scales on a balance witli Barnes , but he is taller , and his tlesh doosn't seem quite such u burden to him. Ho has n smooth face , a round head and a good naturcd manner. Hiscook and Warner are both big and tall , being well matched in weight and sb.o. The Ohio man sun- ports part of his weight on a big black cane with a hook at the end , which ho has a Icalhor stall for in front of his desk ; while Iliscock is as active as any one of tlio lighter mon in Iho house , Reed stands as a proof that loan men are not the only ones "that think too much. " Resides being one of tlio heav iest men iu the house ho is tlio most alert and quick wit led. Ho leaches the most remote conclusions in the most direct and astonishing way.and always appears at greatest ease in close quarters. Rea gan , Hurnes , Culoheon and Crisp are all big men. The three smallest men iu the house are. Hultnont , Mcrriman and Swopo. The thinnest , is Geddos , and Ilayden is the most drossy. SLAUHGTERVS. PACIUNG HOUSE. Breezy Vlowfo ol' Two Prominent Ne braska Democrats on Dr. Mil ler , ol * Oinalia. Salt Lake Tribune : Dr. John Hlack , a prominent citixon ot Plattsmoulh , Nob. , and Joseph A. Connor , esq. , who lives near Omaha , spent the day in this city yeslerdaj' , and a Tribune reporter ran across thorn. Thinking that they might know some points ou the wily Dr. Miller , who has made himself so notorious in be half of the Mormons and so offensive to loyal Americans hero , the gentlemen wcro pursued till they consented to talk. Said Dr. Hlaolc : "Miller is the clearest case of consummate , empty and impu dent egotism I know of to-day. " The doctor then wont on to state that Dr. Miller strained every nerve to secure the appointment of postmaster-general , mak ing several visits to Now York after President Cleveland's election to secure that position , and how ho came very near getting it , too , while all the time prolust- ing that ho wanted nothing ; how ho has kept up his efforts tor ollico privately ever since , and has publicly disclaimed all desire for recognition , but eagerly took the first crumb thrown lo him , the appointment of visitor to West Point. Alio , how Miller secured the appointment of a man with a bad record as postmaster at Platlsmonth , Nebraska , while pro testing that ho was taking no part in the light , Dr. Hlack going into a full explanation of Millor's dupli city and lals'o pretences ; how ho denied writing letters on the subject , and how his letters wcro found at Washington and his falsehoods exposed ; how Miller declared the president had soon all the charges against the man nominated tor postmaster , and that ho ( HlacK ) asked the president as to this and received an emphatic denial ; be hadn't soon the charges at all , nor heard of them. Mil ler also endorsed two dilforont mon for suneyor-general of Iho land district , and denied endorsing either or writing in favor of any. Dr. Hlack was evidently much moved at the rccolloct'on of tlio wrongs inflicted upon the people , and his party by the would-be boss of Ne braska , who has Jiail so much to say against bossism in others. " 1 say it w-ith shame , " said Dr. Hlack ; "I am a man near sixty-live years old ; 1 have voted the democrat ticket for upwards of forty yours , and now 1 live to sec more inla'my done in the name of Democracy than I ever heard of. " lie accompanied this with sonio spicy revelations concern ing the appointment of an agent for the Santee Indians1 that would not look well in print. The doctor is' evidently a very solid citizen , and ho has Miler'.s { disreputable - reputable record down lino. It is a joy to find that the Moronm agent is repudiated by his own parly associates. It could nol bo otherwise , since they are decent , manly moil. Mr. Joseph A. Connor said Hint Miller's standing in Nebraska was noth ing ; Miller dare not como before the people ple for even a dologaleship to a conven tion from his ward. His strength is out side altogether , and is based wholly on impudent aasumiiiioii. Ho has turned upon and is abusing his beiiolactors and best friends , simply because they would not lend themselves to his private schemes. Ho is upheld by n good- natured , popular man , who stands sponsor ser for him to as great an extent us anyone ono can for so despicable nn obicet , but cannot redeem him before the peoplo. Miller would bo snowed under so deep ho would never bo hoard of again if the democrats of Ne braska could anne get a chance at him ; but ho is wary enough to Keep away from Iho disaster that a popular judgment upon him would surely prove. Mr. Connor is also a fierce democrat , ono of tlio "slaughter house democrats , " the head of whom is J. Ster ling Morton , as distinguished from the "packing house democrats , " with Roy' ' and Milfor as loaders , It was a bree/.y talk the reporter had with these gentle men , nnd their o.stfmato ot Mr. Miller was so near like his own that ho could but fool both Haltered and delighted. JNot That Sort of a Consorvntoi-y. Hoston Record : A charming conservatory vatory girl of the historian's comprehen sive yet discriminating acquaintance tolls him how , while slio was crowing Franklin squiiro the other day , slio was accosted by a well dressed and fairly in telligent woman with : "fan anyone go into the conservatory and see the llowursf" The conservatory girl was rather amacd thattho lame of the few dropping and haggard tropical plants standing here ami there in the corridors should hue : sjiMuul abroad or gained 'any impu tation tor beauty , and ho wild : "Riiully , madam , " there are no llowore In the conservatory worth a visit ?
