Kdhtrrn ICnnilH VH. Union Pacific ,
The objuct of tlio mooting of ruilroml
mipL'riiiluntlenls : it the Union 1'ncllic
triinsfur on Tuesday lust has been kept
very secret , but It leaked oiityosU'nlayuf-
Icrnoon in a manner more accidental than
otherwise. To F.'iy that the meeting was
nn important affair does not half axprij s
it. In fact , Ilio people of Umaha and
Council lihifft cannot regard thu result ,
when It become * known to them through
the BF.I : , as otherwise than sensational ,
as it is very likely to put the Union 1'a-
rifle "in n hole,1'unless its ollieials accede -
cede to the demands of the other roada
connecting with it at the transfer.
Up to this time all the railroads enter-
\\\U \ \ the Union transfer depot on tlie ciiit
Bide of the river have been paying one-
half of all the expenses of handling
freight which comes in or < ; oes out at the
transfer. These expenses include switch-
Hi ) ; , freight handlers , ; ind other inciden
tal matters. Kllbrts had been made from
time to time to net the Union Pacific to
discuss this matter in a business-like
manner. It was claimed by tun other
roads that the Union 1'acific was the
principal beneficiary , receiving the busi
ness of all the roads ccntcrinc at the
transfer , but it seems that whenever the
mana srs met , the Union Pacific invaria
bly sent some subordinate ollicer , who ,
no doubt , acting according to
Instructions , claimed to have no
authority. This all'air rested until Tues
day last. The meeting of the various
railway managers and superintendents
on that day is said to have been rather
lively. The ollieials of the eastern roads
insisted that the Union Pacific should
handle all the west-bound freight at its
own expense , while the eastern roada
each pay pro rata for the transfer of the
east bound freight delivered to them by
the Union Pacific.
Superintendent Kil. Dickinson repre
sented the Union Pacific at thin meeting ,
and , as usual , when the oilier roads
rotcd to make the change , ho de
clared ho had no authority. Tnis game
had been worked too often , and the east
ern railway ollieials couldn't stand it any
longer. So they at once unanimously
decided to give Mr. Dickinson time to
cot authority , or to have some one sent
there who could have the right
to take authoritative action. A recess
was thereupon taken. At the end of the
( riven time General Superintendent
bmith appeared upon the scene to rep
resent the Union Pacific. A vote was
taken , and it was unanimousto make the
Union Pacific either pay the expenses of
the west bound transfer or bear 70 percent
'
cent of the entire expenses of the wh'olo
transfer. Mr , Smith declared he
woula not bo bound by any
Kuch arrangements. Thereupon the other
roads served notice upon the Union Pa
cific that . . they . . . would . . , after . a certain
. .
MM * * * , MV..W. * * „ t % t A , -.11
1st abandon the delivering of freight at
the transfer depot , but would deliver it
at their respective local depots in Council
Bluffs , thus compelling the Union Paeilij
to switch around to half a dozen more
depots to get the freight consigned to it.
In the language of u railroau man the
attitude ufj the eastern roads is a " .stem-
winder , " and unless the Union Pacific
yields it will find itself in rather an
awkward and expensive predicament.
Superintendent Smith , in objecting to
the proposed arrangement , maintained
that it was asking too much of the Union
Pacific ; as that company owned the
buildings and the grounds , and that it
was entitled to some returns on the in
vestment.
How the dilllculty will bo adjusted remains -
mains to bo scon. That the other roads
hav the advantage of the Union Pacific
there scorns to be no doubt , and it is also
evident that they mean business. Unless
the Union Paoifio comes to their terms
they will carry out their threat.
ABOLISHING COMMISSIONS.
A reporter for the HER yesterday inter
viewed some of the loading ticket agents
and secured their opinions as to the
now rule adopted by eastern passenger
associations prohibiting the uayiuent of
commissions to ticket agents.
Frank Moorns , of the Wabash , said :
"The rule is rather rough on the ticket
ngents ; there IB no question about that.
They have depended largely here
tofore on their commissions to
make a living and if these
are done away with the salaries will
have to bo raised. The rule has been
tried before , but it has never been known
to work. Perhaps it will stick this timo.
There is no question but that it will
greatly benefit the roads. The system of
i * raying commissions has been carried so
far that it has grown to bo a Howling
abuse. Wlion you consider , for instance ,
that of the ifW rate from Missouri river
points to Now York an agent is al
lowed $7 or 35 per cent. , you
can see what a sacrifice the roads
have to submit to in their endeavor to
uet business. There is no question in
my mind but that this will force some ol
the weaker roads which have been pay
ing heavy commissions in order to get
business , to the wall. "
When F. A. Nash , of the Milwaukee
road , was questioned about the same
matter , ho solemnly unfolded his wallei
and hold up to the reporter's gaze a card
bearing the printed inscription :
"No one knows. "
Upon further questioning , however , ho
said , "There is no question but this rule
if strictly carried out will bo a good thing
for the railroads. The fact is that tin :
payment of commission to agents is
nothing more nor less than bribery
though that Is a rather rough name for it
So far as I can see , there is nothing in
the interstate law which prohibits the
payment of commissions to agents. So
that thin rule is simply an agreement be
tween the different lines. How long i
will be maintained remains to bo seen. '
Andy Uorden said that one thing the
new rule would accomplish was the abel
ishraont of the ticket scalper nuisance.
"if the agreement is strictly carried out , '
ho said , 'Uhoro is no question but that i
will do away with ticket scalpers. This
rule will bo a good thing for the strong
railroads and a bad tiling for the weak
ones. Some of the latter depend largely
for their business on paving commissions
and if this method of selling tickets Is do
tiled them they will certainly be forced to
the wall , or to abrogate the agreement. '
K. K. Palmer , of the Burlington tlcke
olllco , said ; "This thing has been trict
before and has never been known t <
work. It won't bo long before some o
the weaker lines will bo forced to break
the agreement. "

lowing circular , a portion of which wil

her say her mother resides in Icoit ! ! ,
Kansas , and that two of her broth
ers live in Van Motor , Iowa.
The landlady of the house claims that
the deceased had a husband , but ho had
left her a day or two ago and the des

Henry Loomis Arrcstcil for Swindling
a Catholic Priest.
Detective Valentino , of the Union Pa
cific , yesterday arrested a follow who
gave the name ot Harry Loomis , and who
is supposed to bo implicated in the conn-
donee came whereby an old man lost $00
nt the depot Wednesday. Loomis came in
on one of the Union Pacific trains , but
jumped off at the Thirteenth street cross
ing. Detective Valentino was watching
him , and having a well-founded suspicion
that ho was mixed uu in Wednesday's
confidence game , jumped after and ar
rested him.
Loomis , is a liard-visagrd , though fine
looking and well dressed follow. "I
don't know what I am arrested for , " ho
said yesterday afternoon to a reporter.
"That confidence game ? I don't know
anything about it. I just got m town
to-day. "
What makes It all the more interesting
is that the victim is a Catholic priest. Ho
refused to give his name to the police
saying that it might injure him in his
work. Ho was en route to California.
Another crime of which Loomis is sus
pected is that of picking the pockets of n
granger at the depot Wedncsdayof $80
This ho denies.

ells a story of one young man who went
o Wichita with only $ M In his pocket
nnd in les ) titan slv months pulled out
' 10,000. The fellow first bought an

When the high waters of the Missouri

loverly stricken people whose homes
uivo been wrecked by the Hoods ,

"I believe I have been asked a thousand
times why piling was used in the founda
tion of tlic new bank building on the
northeast corner of Farnam and Thir
teenth street and not on a similarly im
portant building going up on the oilier
corner , " said Kill Mellugli the champion
pile driver. "The fact is there used to bo
a creek running through that locality and
the soil was naturally soft and mushy.
The Omaha ground is treacherous ami
builders have to bo very careful. Lots of
places in this city contain as great a dif
ference m soil as can bo imagined. Piling
may bo required on one lot anil on the
very next there will be no need of it. "

Down on the bottoms lives a good old
colored woman by the name of Susan
Sykcs. For several years she has invest
ed a half dollar whenever she could spare
it in a fractional part of a Louisiana lot
tery ticket. A few weeks ago she was
impelled by iho fascination lo Iry her
luck again , but her uninterrupted suc
cession of losses deterred her. Finally
she compromised mailers by finding a
colored neighbor who was willing lo join
her in chancing 25 cents. So they com
bined. On Monday Mrs. Sykes was noil-
lied that the fractional ticket she held
had a share of $2. ) in a pri/.o. She was
pleased , bul Iho joy was not unalloyed.
It was thu lirsl time site had drawn any
thing and now another must got half.
She was found by a gentleman whoso
linen shn immaculatcs to bo despondent
and ho asked her : "Why , Aunt Susie ,
why don't you pi cloud lhat your ticket
didn't draw anything. " At first the idea
slrucK her favorably. Then she again

marked : "D.il wouldn't do no good ; dat
