I A bifi scliump , which has just been per
fected by tliu Union I'ncilio with tlic co
operation of the U'litcit State1) ) govern-
nicnt was mioiirllirii yesterday by a icpor-
tor for thu Hu : . His nothing les ? than tlio
( stablislmicnt of n weather service on
tlio Union I'.icSlic exactly similar , though
on n small scale , to the one now used by
the United States government. Observ
ing stations , fully equipped , are to be es
tablished at dilluient points along the
Union 1'acilic'ii lines\\ith headquarters at
Omaha , from which weather predictions
will bo issued based on observations fur
nished by the men along the lino. Tlio
pal tieulars of the scheme in detail arc
these-
Tvvo years ago , \\hen (5cner.il ( Superin-
tcndentSinith came into his piescnt posi
tion in the Union Pacific directory , he
found thai Ins company was sustaining
s < nero losses thiough extreme cold
weather and snow blockades , as well as
in tlio seasons of extreme hot woutlier
Poilshablo goods , and especially live
stock , weio oftentimes damaged to tlio
cjttcutof thousands of dollars by these
e\tieiues of heat nnd cold. He set to
work to device some means of
remedjing this e\II. It struck him that
if a system could be established by which
reliable information of impending colder
or hot weather or coming snowstouns
could bo furnished , thedilliculty could bo
obviated. The matter was agitateil , ne
gotiations between the company ami the
goveiinuent being cairicd on through
Mr. Pike , representing tue former , and
Mr Pollock , the local signal ollicer , re-
piesenliiig Uncle Sam. Within the la-.t
two months the mailer has been entirely
adjusted , and the details ot the scheme
aio now foi the first time made public.
Tin : ficm.vti : .
There are to be Unity-two stations at
principal points on tlio diflercnt lines
of the Union Pacitic. Nine of these
will be known as first-class stations , and
will bo provided with a full set of oh-
solving instruments , namely mcieuiial
barome'ers ' , thermometers , hygrometers ,
( for determining the moisture of the at-
mospheio' ) , anemometers ( for measuring
the \clocity of the wind ) , wind vanes ,
and rain guages. Nine moic stations
will bo known as second-class stations
and will bo supplied witii all of the afore
mentioned instruments except baiomc-
teis. Fourteen others are to be thiid-
ciass stations , and \viii be equipped with ,
thermometers , hygiomcters and rain
gauges , it has been decided to take the
observations at1 a. in. , Omaha time , all
along the road , and 1 p. in. , so that
in the moiii'mir predictions can bo
sent out before any of the trains
start and In the afternoon before the
Omaha licadqnaiters are closed. These
observations will be taken by one of the
men aheady employed at each station ,
thus rendering unnecessary the employ
ment of additional help. The obsena-
tions vv ill be sent to tlio predicting ollicer
nt the hoiuiquarters , who will make his
prognostications accordingly.
In making these arrangements Gen
eral Superintendent Smith wisely thought
it best , to inilo tliij cooperation ot the
government ollicurs , and this lias been
fiecly extended by General lla/.en. Two
or more observers of tlio United States
signal corp-5 wdl bo sent out at once over
the line ot the Union Pacific to instruct
the observers in the proper way of read
ing instruments and transmitting tlietr
reports. In making these icports the
Union Pacific obscuers will bo allowed
to use the government cinher , which is
coi reel and concUo , beside being easily
uiuloi.stood.
The indication ollicer who is to make
lip the predictions will airive about the
first of DeeciiKier. His name is Lieuten
ant Joseph S. Powolj , and he is said to bo
one of the best men in his line ot vunk in
the signal service. Omahans will be in
toiested in knowing that lie is a brother
of Major Powell of tlio Fourth infantiy ,
who was recently at this post. Tlio gen
tleman will lia\o his olliee in the Union
Pacific hcadquailous building and his
services aio to bo exclusively at the dis
posal of the company. He Is to be paid ,
however , by the government. The in
struments will ohortly imho here and
it is thought that by the second
week in December at the farthest , the
t-ystum will bo in full operation. Tlioov-
POIIEO of putting it into emulation will not
bo as heavy as the casual observer might
think 'llio Union Pacinc , of course , has
its own lines for the tiansmission of re
ports , no extra help will have to bo cm-
plojcdin making the observations , and
the expense ot the instiumcnts will
amount to but a few thousand dollais.
TlIU AUVANl'ACKS.
Tire advantages of this svsteiu will bo
at once apparent to any ono. It will be
especially Miliwblo in that it will fiiinUh
the olllcmls withpti\alo information eon-
reining the state of weather and storm
probabilities in the teiiitory tra\er-ed
by tlio Union Pacific lines. It will thus
unable them to govern the running of
their tiams accordingly , i-or instance ,
if the predicting ollicer foretells a heavy
snowstorm impending in the west , the
outgoing trains will be despatched with
two engines or snowplows , so as to lie
nblo to tight the storm , Or , when an ex
treme cold wave , with probable HIIOW
blockade , is pre.diotod.tho stock , which is
likely to perish , will bo left behind. In
miinoroiii other ways , w liich need not bo
recounted hero , the seivieo will prove
itself invalutdilo.
TIII : nusr oi' run KIND.
"This railway ineteoiological servleo is
the first thing of the kind ever attempted
in the. United States" said Signal Otiicer
Pollock yesterday. ' ' ] f it provesa sucoos ,
as I have nu doubt it will , it will inaugurate -
ate anew era in the system of running
trains. I picauinutlr.it it will bo cxtcnsiv
civ adoiited before long by the gical mil
ways of tire country. Already tlio Noith <
westmnand Central I'acilio roads have
been iin Itcd by the Union Paciflu to co
opciato with ] them. Yi's , though this is
the hrat system of the kind adopted it i.-
safe to say that it won't bo the last. "

James Oildea Kutally Injured Yes
terday Morning.
A very serious accident happened jcs-
teiday moining in the Jones building on
Dodge street , adjoining tlio Arlsngton
block. A ! > oung man named James Gildca
engaged as man of-all-work,5at the resi
dence of G. M. Hitchcock , was caught
between tlio floor of the elevator
on the second floor , nnd the door loading
to thesamo and eiushed between both seas
as to stop the elevatorwhich was ascend
ing. The unfortunate joimgnrin was
suspended about tlireo feet from the floor ,
his abdomen resting upon the lloor of the
appaiatus. He had been in that position
it is estimated , about twenty minutes ,
and to extiicato him the door had to
be broken town. When relieved by Pro
fessor Gaynoro he was in an unconscious
condition and blood was run
ning from his nostrils. Ur.
Dinsiuoor was called , but ho could not
satisfactory determine the extent of his
injuries. The victim was cauied lo Mr.
Hitchcock's residence , and suDseuuently
to the Child's hospital.
At 0 o'clock last evening Gildea died ,
having remained in an unconscious con
dition from the time of his injury. His
remains wore taken to Ihexcl < te Maul's ,
where they will remain , awaiting in-
f01 niation us to their disposition from his
mother , who resides in Baltimore. Mr.
Gildea was without relatives in this city.
The Ilorsc-Clipplne Discussion.
To the Editor of the BIE : : In reference
to the letter of Executive Committee Ke-
braska Stale Humane society , of Novem
ber 23,1 wish to say n word with your
pei mission. In the Hist place , I do not
believe in clipping horses. As a rule , it
i the exception , and I think my letter to
the HIK : ot n few days ago will bear mo
out in this , but I do believe a little news
paper controversy on this subject will bo
a good thing for the horse , for it will
In ing owners to study np the matter , and
put tlio chnpcr in in the right place , and
leave it out when it is not needed , or
when it would be an injury. I would
state for the benefit of Executive Commit
tee that I well remember the days of
the "bob-tailed nag,1' and have made the
horse a study for twenty-live years for
plcasmc , piolit and the cause of human
ity , and having spent my life ,
until two years ago , in ono of the
Jaige eastern cities ho speaks of 1 have
had one of the best advantages of school
ing in this line. 1 look back with pleas
ure on my ellorls in assisting "tlio Soci
ety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals" in my own city , and will say to
executive committee God-speed , but when
I see any one condemning a custom as a
wholeand I can see some good in it , I
feel it 1113 pnvilego to defend it. 1 wouid
even have a woid of defence for the over
brace check , over its condemnation as a
whole , and 1 am not in the liainess busi
ness , neither am I inteiested in any clip
per. Did 1 not think I was imposing on
good natme , I would bo pleased to point
out cruelties piacli ed on horses in this
eily , by the side of which clipping and
overhead checking sink into insignifi
cance. Executive committee thinks 1
ought to confess my identity. I do not
earo for newspaper notoiiety , but my ad-
diess can bo had at the lii.i : olliee , if any
one dcshcs it. HOISIMAN.

THE FI15ST STEP.
a Move to Secure an
Addition to the I'oslolllcc.
The IJhi : published the statement omo
time ago dining the coming session of
congress , an attempt would bo made by
Senator Mnnderson , and doubtless all
the other members of the Nebraska dele
gation in congress , to secure an appro-
pi iation for the erection of an addition
to the postolliee. For the purpose of
fortifying the senator in his aim , it was
decided that a showing of the inadequacy
of all the departments of the build
ing should be made by their
respective heads. Tlio prevailing idea
of the paitics to the consideration is thit
the lot west of the present building should
be built upon , and devoted exclusively to
tlio internal revenue and the custom
business , leaving the present structure to
be utili/cd for postal and U. S. court pur
poses.
The first step taken in the mutter is the
showing of tint great increase of busi
ness in the postolhec , and the need it ex
periences pi more room. This is shown in
the following letter of Postmaster Cou-
tant. which lias been sent to Custodian
Jordan , and which will bo by him trans
mitted to Senator Mandcison and tlio
treasury department at Washington :
OMAHA , Xov. 24. Sir : The rapid ciow th
of this city and consequent increase o busi
ness in this olllcewilf necessitate at a very
early day cnlaigcd facilities for Its transic-
tlon. 1 do not see how U w 111 ho possible to
transact the business of this oflicowith the
present room much lonecr. Within the last
thrueoars , the business of the olliee has
n ea i Jy doubled.
'Iho cioss receipts for the vear ending
.lunoeoth , IbSt. were SlOt.Ol'J. ' Toi tlio jeai
endiiiL' JimciOtli , lbb , estimating upon tlio
receipts ot tlio mst four months or the hscal
> ear , the income of the olllco will exceed
fcU5,000 , postage In the meantime having
been reduced on letters iXi per cent , and on
second-class matter 50 pei cent.
Had the postage remained the same as in
ISM , tno receipts lei the emicnt vear would
appioximate closely to SUOO.OOO , showing that
the business in these j ears 1ms about doubled.
In Dcccmbci , lbsi , the number cinplo > cil
in the ofllcc In various capacities clerks and
lettei canlois was thlitj-one. At this time
tbenumber is fifty-two , to which two addi
tions vvill be imido le : miiei 1. Should the
increase ot business continue in the same
pciccntigo In the Immediate Inline , an In-
ciease of at least ten pcisons would bere-
qiiiied lo the lorcoeaeh jc.u.
Nearly every department is now In need
ol mure room , and steps should be taken to
secure It the caillest day possible.

mortgaged property namely , zi ? : ! OT

Mis. Fountain's plump and handsome
ligiiro was enveloped in a dark traveling
diess of plain material , which was all
but eovoicd by a long ulster. Her come

veil. Through this , however , her daik
eyes could beseem to glisten and snap as
she conversed with her attorneysMessrs.
Thutnton and ISartlott. Her husband
was also on hand.
The fair defendant's attorneys filed a
motion for a change of venue and Justice -
tico Anderson oidoved the case re
moved to the court of Justice Holsley.
This was done in spite of the omphatlo
PI oteat of the attorneys for JMholni A :
Euckson , who wanted the case tiled bo-
foio Justice Herka. Justice Holsley ,
upon lequest of the atloinoys for the de
fense , fixed the time of trial lor Monday
evening at 7 o'clock.
Mis. Fountain's attorneys cx-pcet to
prove that 1 ho ting was purchased by
Ali.s F. as a piesent for her husband , and
that a chattel moitgago was executed

ecuted another' morlgago on the ring.
This property , it is claimed , was not her

She has received assuiauces that her title
is undisputed , and she has been accepted
by tire eouit of Chancery as ono of the
heirs. Nor has the amount boon over
stated. The legacy is imit of the proceeds -
coeds of an estate in London of the Mijue
ol between two and three millions , which
sum is lo bo divided among ten claim
ants. The estate belonged to Mrs. Ad-
cock's grandfather , a gentleman named
Atwell , and was originally very much
larger : but in the lifetime of the testator
some sixteen houses were given to one ol
the London hospitals.
A singular circumstance is connected
with the recovery of this property.
Money deposited in chancery lapses to

THOMSON , LANGDON CO , , New York ,
For several clays past , we have been constantly receiving new addi-
ions to our already immense stock , These goods were manufactured
expressly for our establishment here in Omaha , and they must and will
be sold , if low prices , and reductions on low prices will help us to do
so. Among the new arrivals we have 900 heavy Overcoats , in all
grades and colors. To give you an idea how these goods are being
slaughtered we enumerate the following prices :
lOOMens' Heavy Chinchilla Beaver Storm Overcoats , cassimere lined ,
extra length , with larere fur collar and cuffs , at $8. This same class
of coats were sold only a week agoior $13.50.
75 All Wool Beaver Chinchilla Overcoats , lined with fine serge , and
satin sleeve lining , at $9.75. Former price $13.75.
100 Plain , Smooth All Wool Beaver Overcoats , in black and brown , '
double breasted and elegantly trimmed , at $10,50. This coat sells
at any other establishment at 15.
65 Heavy Dark Striped Overcoats , trimmed with ± ur collar and cuffs
$4.75.
Another lot of our celebrated $3.60 Overcoats , which are fully worth
$6. We also received about 20 different styles of childrens'and
boys' Overcoats. For children from 4 to 12 years of age we have a
very neat fur trimmed Overcoats for $1.95worth ; at least $3. We
call your attention to 300 neatly gotten up Childrens' Suits , from
4 to 13 years at $1.85. These suits were sold formerly at $2.75.
All of the above described goods are selling now very rapidly and
we would advise all intending purchasers to examine them before sizes
