Yesterday's telegraphic columns of THU HUB gave an account of the wreck on the Union Pacific road at Gardiner station on the afternoon of the ISth. Further details have been secured from persons who were passengers upon the ill-fated train. Several of these were from Council Bluffs and al though no .serious damage was done them they severely criticised the action of the rail road onlcials in the matter. Their story Is as follows : The wreck oc curred at 1 :15 : a. in. The eight ears contained about ttireo hundred passengers. At this point on thu road there was no house nearer than one-half a mile. A train of frcipht cars was sent out frou : ( Joiumbus to take off the b.'iffgngc. The passengers wore uncomfort able. hungry and without protection from the sand during the afternoon and cold in the evening. The wrecked cars were thrown in such positions that no one could bo ade quately protected. Men , women and chil dren were thus left out in the corn Held for nine hours or until the arrival of the relief train from Omaha at 10:15 : p. m. They be sieged the conductor of the sleepers , but ho refused to allow them to enter. One sleeper was upon the track and would have given protection to the children at least , but this was denied , until lifter dark. When the tram arrived from Columbus the passengers importuned the conductor to take them somewhere - whore where they could get food and shel ter. Ho loaded up the baggage and went back to Columbus , leaving the passengers in their pitmblo situation. It was a choice between trunks and lives and the oflleials chose the trunks. At one time during the long , cold hours of the night the conductor of the train inter ceded with the Pullman conductor , and that mogul did allow a few to enter those sacred portals. If these statements arc true , and they are given upon the best authority , it is an exhi bition of hcartlessnoss from beginning to end , in tlie expression of which hard words can appropriately be used. These passengers naturally ask these questions : Why were they barred from u.so of the sleeper ! Why was not the first train sent to bring passen gers , instead of baggage ! Was it to avoid possible litigation over any loss which might occur ! Spcoulntlona in HenI Estate.

It is understood that several extensive additions are to bo made to the electric light plant of this city , which will result in a com plete revolution of the lighting arrangements of the city. Air. Thomas Ofllccr , of the elec tric light company , returned yesterday morn ing from a month's trip through the cast , during which ho attended the electric light convention in Now York City , and visited several other large cities for the purpose of witnessing the practical workings of various systems of incandescent lighting. He in formed a BEE reporter that ho was well pleased with the result of his visit , and was perfectly satisfied that a system of electric lighting for small towns , residences , etc. , can now bo introduced In the city , that will meet the demands of a great many business men and citizens. The present arc system is the only one practicable for outdoor lighting , and gives good satisfaction in largo stores , but there are many of the merchants who de sire something smaller and cheaper than a 'J,000 , tandlu power light. For some time past the club rooms and a few other places in the city have been illumi nated with incandescent sixty-flvo-candlo power cent llght.s attached to the principal circuit , but the system Is nearly as expensive as the regular arc lights , besides being somewhat dangerous when children are around , as the current is very strong. In the now gyotcm this Is changed , as the lights are of but six- tcen-candlo power and are run by a different dynamo , the current being so light us to bo perfectly safe. The cost of this method of lighting would bo much less than at present. If a largo number of consumers Is sncured the cost would bo oven moro reduced. The matter r will bo pushed ot once , and If sufllolont en couragement is given the present works will r be enlarged and the system of incandescent lighting introduced on u largo scale through out the city. Such a change would bo a bonanza to the greater part of our merchants , who would gladly welcome anything thai promised relief from the present exorbitant gas rates. _ _ Cholco dairy and creamery butter at Foarou's.

John Llnder and Conrad Gelso became bondsmen in the sum of $1,000 for the appearance in court last fall of Arthur Rothory , charged wiUi the larceny o ( a diamond from Bur- Jn's jewelry store. The defendant failed to matcriallro and the bond was declared forfeited. The cato has bci'ti fought In the courts but County Attorney Dalloy pushed it sharply and it was finally decided that they might as well give it up and save fur ther cost.s. Accordingly , Air. Lltidcr ap peared yesterday morning and paid the $1.000 over which thu light had been made. It is said that Air.

Philadelphia Prohs : United States Voasuror llyatt escorted mo through ho now vault , which has just been ompletcd in the foundation walls in lie northeast corner of the treasury , ho other day. It is a great subtov- ancan apartment , sixty feet one way > y forty the other , and about fifteen cot high. It is divided off into sixteen great cells by interlaced iron bands , ind a half year licnco a hundred mil- ions of silver dollars , gathered from hochoked United States mints through- ut tlie country , will bo stored in them. As we entered the vault eight men vore engaged in weighing the $ -500,000 hat had arrived that day from Phila- lolphia. A mound of several hundred anvas bags , each containing 1,000 sil- er dollars , was in a corner. A middle- iged colored man took ono of the bajjs , lit it open , and carefully poured its ontonts in a glittering stream into a argo metal scoop. This an assistant ilaced on an exquisitely adjusted 31,000 cale : the sealesman touched a spring ind the quivering indicator hovered jver the central linoof the scale. Other nou poured and weighed dollars into imilar bags , and , placing the corded ) ags on small trolleys , a burley porter dragged them to an assigned cell. 'Why can't these brawny fellows ' ako an' occasional dollar , Mr. HyattV" asked. "No reason in the world : but we've xll got to trust somebody. An assistant vhom I know thoroughly is constantly > resent , and that's all I can do. These nen are worthy colored men , whoso common occupation is ordinary day abor. They come hero when I want , hem , and 1 pay them $2 a day. " "What do you do if a bag weighs ihortV" "Mako a requisition on the mint whence it came and have the damage : nade good. That scale is so nicely _ ad justed that it will tell if there is ono plugged dollar or counterfeit in athoua- md ; bo it saves a deal of 'trouble , you see. Jt takes these eight men all day to count half n million dollars , and at this rate silver dollars will pour in here until the vault is filled up , The old vault adjoining this is brim full , and contains ninety millions twenty-five millions in gold and the rest silver. " As 1 stood there looking at these .reasuro handlers , bix of them dressed in the shabby garb of the day laborer , I iriod to imagine their thoughts. Less than one-half of the contents of anyone of those bags would bo moro than their dreary drudgery would earn for anyone ono of them in a whole year. They tos&ed the glistening circles of silver nnd lugged the sixty-pound bags , their toil-lined faces quite impassive. They wore as doggedly careless as though the material wore Ingots of iron instead of the open sesame to every creature joy. When the day was over they would go back to miserable nooks and think in their dull way if thvy could afford to buy ono or two loaves of bread that night. The combined salaries of the eight men engaged here wore $80 a day , so that it cost about $1 to countand pack $17,000 in the great now silver vault. The vault cost $30,000 to build , and a year and'a half was exhausted in its completion. It is hold to bo absolutely fire and burglar proof , and when filled with a hundred million silver dollars will probably bo the richest spot on the Globe' . King Solomon's mines will belittle little country savings banks in compar ison. ison.Tho The treasurer took me down to the vault by moans of a small elevator , which ho ran himself. Wo made our exit by a ilimsy , wooden , wire-screened door , which an o.xport cracksman could breathe against and demolish. There did not boom to bo any especial cspoin- ago over visitors. At least I know that I was not tlio recipient of any furtive glances , but perhaps I escaped them because I was escorted by the Mikado himself. The last time that those vaults wore robbed was , I believe , about eight years ago. Tlio money taken then was in the form of bank notes , It would not bo an easy matter to steal a satisfactory amount in silver or even gold. The thief followed in the wake of a party of sight-seers , of which the attendant in charge thought ho was ono. Ho carried his hat in his hand and presently it was dropped on a bundle of bank notes which an employe had , with gross care lessness , loft exposed. When tlio hat was taken up the bank notes wore in it , and in it they wore carried out of the building. The theft was quickly dis covered and the thief was ferreted out by the secret service agents. If any money should bo abstracted from tire bags which are now being stowed away in the vaults , the loss , if not discovered at the moment , would probably not bo known until Treasurer Hyatt's suc cessor comes into ollieo and orders the silver recounted. If a single dollar ol the millions recoiovcd is then found to bo missing it will bo charged to Mr , Hyatt. Good dwellings and lots for sale on monthly payments by E. II. Sheafo & Cp. cor.
