NKW YOHK , .May 4. Tlio examination Into
tlio alfnlrs of tlio Union 1'aclllc railway was
resumed by the government commission to
day. Hon. David T. Llttlor , whoso duties
ns n int'inbcr of the Illinois legislature de
tained him from the former sittings , was
present. Artcmus II. Holmes , one of the
counsel of the Union 1'aclfic , was a witness.
Ho related the manner of the construction of
the Union 1'aclflc. There were orldnally
four roads , the Kansas 1'aclflc , Denver
1'aclflc , Northern Pacific and Oregon rail
road , In the fall of 1870 , the Kansas Pacific
bocamc ono of the combination of bond
holders of the Denver Pacific. Mr. Holmes
said that the total Inciiinbranccs on the road
In 1877 was bonded for SM,181,80U with the
interest 84r s.fi,750. This covered the wholn
road from Kansas City to Denver. Tlio
stock.of the road was valued at about 810-
000,000. At the tltno the government lien
was 5 > 0TOI,000. The capital stock of the
Denver Pacific was about 8 ,000ooo. A re
ceiver \\as appointed for the Kansas Pacific
In 1B70. Kiom is'il to 1S70 the Kansas Pacific
was as low as S'J or SO , the Denver Pacific
940 , whllo the others of these securities named
were practically valueless. Ucglnnitucin 1S77
marked and decided Improvements were no
ticed In the business and prospects of the
Union Pacific through tlio development of
the country which had been considered
worthless prnvlous to that time. The mort
gage on the Denver extension was sued In
foreclosure , and the tlmo having arrived
when tlio Interests of the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific roads were evidently Identi
cal , consolidation was effected and the mort
gage settled , the Union Pacific assuming the
control. This was In the spring of 1803.
Holmes related how It was ttiat
In 1SSO the sutt , # ) shores of Denver Pacific
Block In the hands of Gould and Sage trus
tees the mortgage was released. Holmes was
directed by Sidney Dillon to draw a com
plaint In the matter and served It on the trus
tees. It set forth that the Denver Pacific
stock had no market value and added noth
ing to the value of the secut itics held In the
hands of the trustees. The answer virtually
submitted the complaint to the court
and tlio stock was released on the
stipulation that other securities would
take Its place. 11. M. Huggles was appointed
rcfereu on Holmes' sURgention , and Kussel
Uage , the secretary of the Kansas Pacific and
others were examined. Kueclcs reported
January in , IH-bO , Holmes examined the
referee's report and declared It was not In
the handwriting of Uuggles , hut could not
say whose writing It was. The decree was
dated twenty-four hours after the findings
nnd the stock was released. Holmes said ho
did not know at tills tlmo that the articles of
consolidation of the Union and Kansas
Pacific were In preparation , though they bore
date of January 34 , the day after the date of
the decree. Dillon did all of the business of
the consolidation nnd Holmes knew
nothing about It till afterwards.
Tno Denver stock transferred to Oould ,
Sago and others , and later after consoli
dated , was exchanged for consolidated stock
at par. and the latter stock was salable at
100 cents on the dollar.
Mr. Anderson asked why the Denver
stock , which Dillon had sworn January 17
was of little or no value , had not been trans
ferred to the Kansas Pacific direct so It
would Ret the benefit , Instead of going
through the hands or Gould , Sago , Atkins ,
Frederick \ , . Ames , Dexter and their asso
ciates on tlio Union Pacific , when the day
after this decree was made the transfer was
made , and It Immediately became of lull
value ?
Witness explained that Gould exchanged
Kansas Pacific bonds on cross country
branches for this stock , then put it In for
equal shares of consolidated stocK after the
consolidation. The value of stock became
53,000,000 Immediately and holders , whoso
names had been given , drew 8 per rent divi
dends on It up to 1885 , when the Union Pa
cific ceased paying dividends.

nrlck Moldera Strike.
Ninety-eight out of the 109 brickmold-
era employed at the ynnls in Omaha arc
out on a Htriko. On Tuesday tlio helpers
of the moldcrs those who boar ofT and
wheel brick made a dotuaml for f3 per
day. They had boon getting $1.50 to
$1.75. The demand was refused by
Livescy & Co. , Whitman Bros. , Hailoy Ac
Olcson ami Ittncr , in this city. Ono or
two yards in South Omaha granted the
demand. The helpers in the yards named
thereupon struck.
Although this action would have tem
porarily thrown the moldcrs out of work ,
they supplemented the stand of their
helpers yesterday by striking also. Some
time ago the molders secretly formed a
union , and their action is therefore
united. They state that they1 shall stand
by the helpers to any extent , and will re
main out until tlio price asked by the
latter shall bo paid.
lu consequence , brick making in
Omaha is suspended. The olTect upon
building will not bo immediately felt , but
in a few weeks , when the kilns now
burned are exhausted , it may bo , most
seriously.
All the strikers will hold a meeting in
Spoerlo's park to-morrow night.

some time ago obtained a judgment in

comb , of the same county , which was
made to apply npon hvo stock , farm im
plements and personal cll'ects of the de

pelled him to sign an agreement to post
pone the sale until May 18.
In United States court yesterday , Judge
Duiuly , in delivering his charge to the
grand jury , directed them to find indict
ments against ; every ono of these seventy
or eighty men if the facts should justify
it. The judge was quite vigorous in
his denunciation of the alleged acts of
Whitcomb and his neighbors , and said
that indictments should be presented
against every man. no matter what his
etanding. who had been guilty of the
offense of delaying the law's mandate.

UEALEU8 OP THE SICK.
Yesterday's Interesting Session of the
State Medical Association.
The State Medical association , now in

very interesting meeting , from n mcdica
standpoint , yesterday. In the forenoon
Dr. U. M. Howe acted as president pro
tern in the absence of Dr. Moore.
Dr. Merriam road a paper on the prac
tice of medicine in this section. The
essay wail comprehensive and contained
many common sense deductions. It was

Mansfield , Keppnmn , Bowcn and
Bridge.
Dr. W. O. Bridge read a paper on The
Diagnosis of Diphtheria , lie learnedly
discoursed upon the causes and symtoms
of this most dreaded disease. So valuable
were many of his suggestions deemed to
bo that the paper was referred to a com
mittee for the purpose of securing its
publication.
Dr. Milroy read an extremely interest
ing paper on The Etiology and Course of
Consumption as Influenced by the Cli
mate and Soil of Eastern Nebraska , lie
hold that these two conditions were never
as favorable to consumption as they wore
in the moist eastern portions of the coun
try , and that with proper treatment no
removal to Colorado or Wyoming was
necessary.
Dr. C. M. G. liiart made a report on
Dermatology , nnd hn was finally asked ,
so full of interest was his production , to
prepare ti paper on the subject.
The hearing'of these papers occupied
both morning and afternoon sessions. In
the evening the question of adopting anew
now constitution wan taken up. The new
instrument was opposed by the older
members of the association because of
its containing , to them , an objection
able article relating to recording secro-
tary. Under the present constitution
the secretary does not vacate oflicc every
year as is the case with the other officers
Ho holds over until ho resigns or is re

The Carleton Opera company closed
heir engagement with the Mikado last
night. The audience was small and
apathetic until the opera was well on

tvith ono star inside It last night. The
ring was ono of the most perfect , accord-
ng to the oldest inhabitant , over observa

runner of a storm like the one which
struck central Wyoming and northwest
ern Nebraska on Tuesday. On Monday

The committee on jjas nnd electricity
presented a report 'upon u report 'of
the city gas inspector in which
the quality of the gi : now being fur
nished by the gas company was shown
to bo deficient. The committee ropprtod
that they had investigated the gas and
found it bad in sovnrnl respects , viz : (1) ( )
In summer the gas smokes and , creatly
damages walls and household goods , ( a )
In winter the light is poor aiwi causes
great inconvenience and expense on ac
count of its decided tendency to freeze
without provocation. (3) ( ) While the gas
is now furnished at $1.75 pur thousand
cubic feet the bills of the consumers ara
larger than they wore .when the price of
gas was $5 per thousand cubic feet.
The report recommenced that the city
attorney take steps ita compel the gas
company to furnish ' 4 Cotter quality of
gas. The report was adopted.
Following this action the clerk read
the ordinance crantinij the right to lay
mains in the streets \uw \ alleys of the city
to the Nebraska Heating and Illumin
ating company. T. lite company proposes
to furnish city gas 'tojtuo city at $1 per
1,000 cubic feet ; to geiiQral consumers at
$1.25 per 1,000 cubic. feet , and to charita

WHY IS IT
That rheumatism nnd neuralgia arc so pre
valent ? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered , but it is certain that
liese diseases arc only the most painful but
amen < r the most common , and member of
nearly every family in the land i the victim
of one os those dread tormentors. Ladies
seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgic at-
neks , which , in the form of neuralgia , head
ache , pain In the back , or nervous pains aic
of constant occurrence. Not until the dis-
: ovcry of Atlrlophoros had any remedy
> een found for either rheumatism , neuralgia
or nervous headache , and they were gener
ally conceded tobe incurable , but Athlo-
phoros has been proved to be not only
accrtain cure for these diseases , in all their
varied forms but a safe remedy. If , in the
isc of Atlilophoros , the bowels are kept
'iccly open , Its success is certain , and to aid
his , Atmonhoros Pills are recommended ,
which , while providing the necce ary ca-
.hartic , will be found to be a valuable aid
.o the.action ol the medicine. Atlilophoros
' 5 no experiment , it has been tested and has
iroved Us wonderful elllcacy.
The Athlophorcs Pills were orginally
prepared as a remedy for use in connection
with Atlilophoros , for rheumatism and neu
ralgia and kindred complaints. Used in
lonncction with that remedy , they are a
jertain cure foreither ol these very common
and distressing diseases arising from vitiat
ed blood or general debility. They arc es
pecially valuable for nervous debility , blood
noisonmg , dyspepsia , distress after eating ,
icadache , constipation , loss of appetite ,
and alt stomach or liver troubles. Kor di
seases of women they are invaluable. These
lills are perfectly harmless and may be
safely used.by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
: ured will be sent on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlopho-
ros and Athlophoros L'ills , but where
they cannot bo hoiight of the tlrugmst
the Atlilophoros Co. , 1SJ3 Wall st. , Now
York , will aoml either , carriage paid , on
receipt of regular price , which is $1 per
bottle for Athlo ohoros tvnd 50c for the
L'ills.
