Union Pacllii- railroad company ns soon HS

as aforesaid is properly presented to the
board of county commissioners.
Under date of March 7. 1871 , T. E. Sickles ,
who was then superintendent of the I'niuu
Pacltlc , made a report to thu county cotniniH-
sionprs that his company had expended
f..Ti.dTI.OJ in the actual construction of the
bridge. At thu proceedings of the county
commissioners on this diito the following resolution
elution was cat rfcd :
IJesoivi-cl , That bonds to the amount of
$100,000 be proc mod as soon ns possible.
The following action was takui by the city
ccnncil'of Omaha at that ti.no :
Whereas , My an instrument bearing date ,
January 20 , 1 72 , and acknowledged January
JD , 1STJ , and recorded in bonk twelve nf deeds
in Douglas cvtiiitv , state of Nebraska , Alvin
Saumlers , ns trustee of the ntv of Ouinun ,
convc\od to the Union 1'ncillc railroad com-
puny certain lots and real estate thtivln
described , situated in the city of Omaha , in
said cnunt.s , subject to the conditions and In-
stnution * i'-ut lined in a certain contract
therein mentimu'd mid set forth between thu
Miivl Uniun PJ < iflc railroad coinpany of the
llrst part , nnd the titi of Omaha , Nob. , and
the cminti of Douglas , in the state of Ne
braska , parties of Hie secomt | iirt : , nmong
which coiulitions was the following , viz :
4. That the s..id Union Paeillc railroad
company will within onu year from the date
hfieof expand in iinni'ovcmeiits in building
passenger and freight depots and general
p.issi'iigiT and freight ofllci's. land oltlces and
tiansttr ami telegraph ofllees upon said'
ground a sum that shall not be less tliun
f loO.uiK ) , and maintain those buildings and
olllces , then-fore
Hesiilv.-d. That if the said Union Pucitlc
i-jiilro.ui uompany shall commence immedi
ately and prosecute to completion within ten
months from this time on lots 1 and 2 , block
1.11 , In the city of Omaha , Nob. , buildings for
its general olllccs according or equal to the
general plans adopted by the company Au
gust IS , 1373 , and shall also commence
nnd prosecute to completion without unnec
essary delay and complete within said time
on said depot grounds its depot building ac-
coriiing and equal to the general plan adopted
by thu company at the same time , und shall
maintain thu said buildings and olllccs in
said grounds rcopcctivejy , such nets on its
part shall constitute and bo accepted by and
on thu part of the city of Omaha as n com
pliance by said Union Pauific railroad com
pany with that part of said agreement here
with referred to und ru-jited , being the fourth
clause of said agreement , unC thenceforth no
breach of said fourth claaso or failure to coin-
lily therewith shall ho be alleged by or on
behalf of the said city or party interested in
any proceeding or In any manner whatever ;
provided this resolution shall not bo con
strued to apply to or affect said agreement ,
except in respect to the fourth clause thereof
hereinbefore recited ; and bo it further
Kesolvcd , That said Alvin Saunders , as
trustee as uforosaiu , is > la-ruby authori/od and
directed to execute to the said Union Pacific
railroad compunv an instrument ot thu same
import and to the same cftect as this resolu
tion immediately upon the passagethereof. .
H will be seen by this that even witli a "re
vised" contract so constructed as to make the
SCOIHS moi u wide , the Union Pacific has shot
wide of the mark ns regards the exact aims
of the articles of agreement on the part of the
city of Omaha and Pcmiflas county. Not
nlonu this , but the apccitlcations In the above
contract have been ignored in no minor de
gree. The privileges of occupying ground
unlawfully are but slightly questioned by the
opposing constituency , but the matter of
placing this property upon the realty market
is what excites these interested , both finan
cially nnd otherwise.
The above contract concludes with "That
in case said premises or any part thereof bo
ilmndoned , or disused , or converted to any
other than the uses und purposes hereinbe
fore limited , then the same shall revert to
nnu become the property of the said city of
Omaha. "
Under date ot October 0 , 1S77 , the Union
Put-Hie sold and dppdert to the IJurlington &
Missouri railroad the south 14.V ) square feet
of lot 8 , block 2Kl , also the south 17s2 square
feet of lot 1 , block 234 , for u consideration of
$2,000. The deed was recorded about one
year later. From this consideration the city
of Omaha failed to receive any remuneration ,
notwithstanding that the property sold con
stituted part of that donated to thu Union
I'acillc lor the purpose of establishing "depots
and transfers. "
A recent acritation of the entire affair ,
wliieh it is said may bo attributed to the up-
pearnneo of President Charles Francis
Adams in Omaha , prompted an investigation
concerning the system of operating , rccog
nizcd by the railway coinpany in question
from its formation up to the present time.
The principal issun set forth in the query to
that element that is cogni/nnt with the liu-ts
in the case , was , us to the existence of
another contract .tsido frojn the above and
resulting from overtures miido by both fac
tions in connection with the granting of cer
tain lands on the OUP side nnd the promises
of important improvements on thu othoiyre-
lating in the latter to general headquarters ,
freight and passenger depots , and transfer
equipments.
Dr. ( leorge L. Miller , who was conspicuous
in the undertaking , when questioned con
cerning the matter said : "I was , if I remem
ber rightly , among the Jlrst of the citizens of
Omaha to tnko steps in the matter of having
the Union I'aeiile bridge established nt this
place. The company had derided on a loca
tion SK ! miles south of hero and wo at once
cuino to the conclusion that it would prove
disastrous to Omaha. We called a mooting
ana decided to further our scheme by calling
UK i thi > county to vote bonds as a bonus. It
was decided by the commi-ipioners
at the tinio to pay the coinpany
in bondrt the difference In the cost of con
struction between thuso two points. It was
estimated at $ . ' 5i,000 ; and bonds were voted
to that cxteut and a contract was entered
into accordingly. "
"Did this contract Imply anything In the
line of the specifications or improvements
aside from the location of the bridge ! "
"Wull. 1 scarcely remember as to that , but
my opinion Is tliul it , only referred to thu
bridge. Yes , J am quite sure , in recalling
the matter , that no other spccillcations were
made. "
' Was the contract the first ono entered
into in connection with this made u matter
of rccoid'1'
"No , I believe not. It was entrusted to
Kzrn Millard , who was an active worker on
the part of Omaha at that time , and what
ho done with the contract b a question which
also arises bolero mo. 1 and Mr. KounUo
formulated thp original briefs of the con
tract whilu in liortkm and it was afterward
placed in the form of a contract. "
"in your candid opinion do you rogaril the
Union Pacific as having lived up to the lim
its of its contract "
"Well , yes. Now let me tell you that the
Union Pacific , after the contract was made ,
conceded us points of material benefit and

"How do jou account for the $200,0X1 in
bonds voted by HIP city of Oinnhii to bo used
In the pnrcl a o of .sites for structure * of the
Union Pacific' '
'Well , the bridge was on thing , nnd the
bonds voted by the city applied more locally
und could bo regarded us applying on homo
enterprise. Of course wo granted the Union
PnclUe this land with thu understanding that
It would establish Its general nlllces here.
nnd also construct and maintain a pnssc-uger
dcpit. The depot , though not on a very
large scale , has been constructed since
that time ; thu general operating ofllees
have locaU-d here , though on n
different local site , uud that is
n great benefit to us nnd
tie couimiinit.t. In this respect 1
must stall- that thu lorma of the cnulrnrt
have been fuilllled ns well us could bo ex
pected. "
"As to the contract , whichou , say was en
trusted to K/m Millard , have you any recol
lection of what its chief purports wcref"
" .lust wait n moment nnd 1 will summon
JudieSnvnge who is now government director
of the Uniun Pacilk- and who nt the time this
contract was drawn up assisted our commit
tee "
At this point the doctor dispatched n mos-
sungor to Director Savage's oftlco and In a
slioit timp the eminent gentleman appeared.
"Now. Judge , " remarked the doctor , "What
can you tell this repoilfcr concerning thu
existence of ono or moro contracts between
thu 1'nion Pacific , city of Omalm mid Douglas
county. "
" 1 ii-member quite well having , with Sen
ator Mamlcrson , drawn up n contract be
tween the Union I'aclllo and the city of
Omaha. After this was itonu wu
gave it to the citi/.ens comiulttcu from
Oinnhii. 1 do remember that something
was mentioned in it concerning the estab
lishment of a general headquarters hero ;
also a freight ana passenger depot ; that this
was to be the terminus where all freight nnd
passenger trains , nnd all transfersof freights
nnd passengers should lie made , but this
transpired so long ago that it has nearly es
caped my memory. As has been said the
contract ( originally , was not made n matter
of record and I do not really know of its
whereabouts. In addition to this I might
ndd that other understandings were trachea
nt that time , out not to my knowledge were
they ever reduced to writing. "
"Do you regard the Union Pauifle ns hav
ing complied with the terms of the original
( and missing ) contract to the best of your
knowledge of the contents of thnt instru
ment ! "
"My recollections arc faint on the terms of
the contract referred to , but I will venture
to say that Omaha , Doiiirl " us county or the
state of Nebraska did "not get jnuch thu
worst of the transaction. "
"Can you conceive any good ground for
not having this entlro series of transactions
between the parties' in question down on the
records in black and whitoi"
"We were too busy in those days nnd per
haps were a little short-sighted. The con
tract may evidently como to light some day
from the recesses of the past. As for my
part , I am perfectly satisfied with the actions
of the Union Pacific. "
Thu above came from the lips of Dr.
George L. . Miller , a pronounced friend of the
Union Pacific , and Judge Savage , who is at
present one of the government directors ol
the system , botn decided ndvocates of the
rights of railway corporations.
A visit to the Hank of Commerce brought
the reporter face to fucu with Mr. Joseph
Barker , who also labored intensely in the
interests of Omaha at that critical moment ,
When questioned concerning the matter he
said :
"I am really glad that this matter has been
brought up again before thu people of this
section , for I have nl ways carried the unbiased
conclusion that the Union Pacifio company
was from its earliest period unrestricted in
its usiii potions. 1 hold to-day , as I have for
years , that the citi/cns of Omaha in voting
$200,000 in bonds , and the county of Douglas
in voting si" > 0,000 , were mndu tiio victims of
downright and base trickeiy. The can talk
of the company intending to locate Hit bridge
six miles south of Omaha proper , but , oven
to thu mind ot the average schoolboy this
would appear ridiculous. "
"Do you suppose that the Union Pacific
would have lull the crossing to Omaha oi > cn
for the crossing of the other roads that were
then creeping westward ) "
"Not by any me.nns. It was simply a bare
faced blufT madu for the purpose of extort
ing u big bonus , and I am sorry to confess
that thu proposition for such a bonus was
sanctioned. Hut the worst rests in the man
ner In which the Uuion Pacific has abused
us since obtaining these overtures. Now , in
the first place , the original contract called
for the locution of the bridge at this point ,
nnd also for the making up of nil trnins and
the handling of all tralllo within the limits
of Omaha. If I remember right , it also
called for the establishment of the general
ofili es here , togotner with passenger and
freight dppots. This contract , was drawn
up b.M . -ssr.s. Savage and Manderson nnd
was placed in the vault of the Omaha Na
tional bank , in charge of Ezra Millurd.
1 called at the bank ono day nnd Mr. Millard
read the terms of the contract to me. Ho
then handed me the instrument nnd I read it
myself , Just us I had concluded reading
il , Governor Haundcrs came in and observing
that I had the contract in my hands , ad
dressed Mr. Millard , saying :
"What did you show him thatcontrnct for !
Don't you know that thnt Is a mutter to bo
withheld from the public ) "
"To which Mr. Millurd replied : 'Harkor
is all right. He knows all about our aims
ami proposes. '
"This little conversation aroused my dig
nity n trifle at the time being , but ns I had
perused the document nnd observing that
Governor Kuunders disliked very much my
having done so , 1 said nothing in reponse.
That contract 1 lirmly bcliovo has been in a
major scale ignored by thu Union Pacific. I
do not romeinoer of its over being recorded ,
but 1 know not for what reason. I icamed
sometlino ngo that it was missing , but have-
no idea of its disposal. "
"Then j ou regard the Union Pacific's ] K > S-
sc'sion of thu lands from u questionable
standpoint. "
" 1 certainly dp and now tnko the oppor
tunity of making my stand public with a
view of fairness to everybody , i bold that
the Union Paeilii- has by its actions and its
workings forfeited every claim that it has to
the possession of the lands in question , and
ulso the leverage that it has on the bonds
voted it in cither instance. 1 am in favor of
curr.ing this mutter before a higher tribunal
than the common convictions of the people.
1 will venture to saj that wo can sue and re
cover evorj dollar and corresponding collat
erals that we have given in furtheraneu of
the enterprise. Not that we mudu conces
sions too great , but that the Union Pacific
IIUH absolutely failed to comply with the
terms of the agreements entered into
with us. "
A. J. llanscom was next questioned. Ho
said ;
"I did not sco the manuscript that you
state is missing , but I remember of having
he.ml of certain promises and pledgus madu
between reprcscntativts of Omaha and oRl
cers of the Union Pacific. . From what 1 could
glean on the outside , 1 concluded that
there was a mystery surrounding the entire
deal. I do not mean to infer that our citizens
intentionally blundered in setting forth their
schemes , but I do hold that they buvo since
been guilt j of a npuit of negligence thnt docs
nut relied very well upon their integrity. I
make this remark in a sense of duty to myself
and every cituen of Nebraska , for there can
be no doubt but that the Union Pacific is
holding valuable land in this city on scarcely
n .squatter's title. I want to be among the
llrst to tnkp hold of this issue and rcstoro to
the la.s payers of this community the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars they huvu been
mulcted for by this corporation. "
Judge Isaac lliifcall. who ivas at the tlmo
probate Judge of Douglas county , also In-
foimrd the reporter that ho was aware of n
contrnct being cutorcd Into with the Union
PaoJrie , and that to the best of his knowledge
the terms had been ignored.
The jjcncrul opinion prevails that the mat
ter must now como to a final focus.

Last evening ut the Presbyterian church ,
on tbo cornur of Dodgu and Huvunteuutli
streets , the Kov. Hurshn gave an effective !
nddrcss on "The Liquor Question on Uoth
Sides of the Atlantic. "
He spoke llrst of the decline of having
arink In the families , stating that whereas
but a lew years ago , there was only one out of
thirty families Unit abstained from the use of
drink , at the present tlmu it was the excep
tion that uny liquor was found in privnta fam
ilies ; indeed , In all his travels through Eng
land , Scotland unu Ireland , Mr. Harsha seun
only ono instance of this old custom. In Ire
land ho saw many of the evil uffccts of drink
Ing. On thu streets m the early morning , ho
saw mun , women und children
in a beastly state of drunken
ness , lying on the sidewalks and in
the squares. Around the statue of Father
Mathuw. which had been erected in com
memoration of the survices of that devout
man , six saloons were grouped , Illustrating
the futllity.of the good Catholic's labors. Thu
speaker attributed the squalor and wretched
ness of the Irish people to rum , Horaunism
and the oppression of landlords , many of the
Komuii Catholic priests holding largo landed
estates.
In Germany bo found beer drinking very
prevalent , and In reply to the general opinion
that thu wide-spread usu of tins beverage in
Germany was attended by no evil results , he
stated that about three hundred out of over.y
thousand cases of insanity were attributa-
blu to the excessive use of beer. Why
is the Anglo-Suxon so addicted to
dnnlfi Because' they are a northern
folk , full of animal spirits. IIu saw luuny
signs in Germany ana Franco , indicating the
sale of American mixed drinks , and ho
felt ashamed. Nevertheless , the present re
form , which is getting under btieh tremend
ous headway , originated in this country. In
KJ4I1 the MussuoliUButts Hay society declared
drinking to bu n sin. This was follow. ; : ! bv
other declarations , In IWi tlio W. C. T. 0.
was organized , and it s to this band of work
ers that we ewe much of the power of the
present reform. It is this lack of woman in-
lluunco iu tlieso foreign countries , that
makes the temperance movement so back
ward. Mr. Harshn closed with an appeal for
earnest work in behalf of prohibition , which
he thought was the only remedy.

A Story of Colliding.
Chicago Tiines : I hoard a very
pretty story going to show the pleasant
relations between Senator Colliding
and his wife. 1 believe it lias been
said that Mr. Colliding never asked a
political ollice for anybody. lie novrr
solicited , so his friends say , au appoint
ment. There was a man wlnne wife
hueamo insane , and whoso misfortunes
of ono sort and another appealed
strongly to Mrs. Conkling'ssympathetic
nature. He was an ollk-eholdor. Of hoi-
own accord Mrs. Colliding asked hot-
husband to intercede for this m-in's re
tention , aud that lie did so , in as tender
and pathetic a letter as wasover penned ,
I know , for I saw the letter and read it.
It was in Mr. Conkling's own hand
writing. The man kept his job. Mr.
Conkling did this for his wife's sake.
And it is said to bo the only political
favor he asked for another.

Death on tinStalin. .
Albany Journal : An Albany physi
cian says that tlio moat curious pro
scription ho over gave to u patient was
one to an Albanv lady. It was "Stop
walking up ana down stairs. " ' The
only way this prescription could be
taken was by changing her house , ns
she lived in one of the throe btory and
bnnomont liousus peculiar to Albany
architecture. 11 or husband secured a
roomy cottage of two stories ,
and within a year the invalid's
health was almost completely re
stored. In connection with this state
ment the interesting calculation was
made not long since in another Albany
household that the lady of the mansion
during a single day walked up and down
stairs fifty-three times. Tlio count was
inado by her daughter , and when the
mother was fold of the fact she could
hardly believe it , but it was neverthe
less true. No exercieo is moro severe
than walking up stairs , and ph\siuians
say none is gentler than walking down
stairs.
