A TRIP TO THE END OF TRACK ,
First Railway Excursion Over the
Union Pacific.
THE DISTINGUISHED PASSENGERS
A Second Chapter of Dr. Miller's
Reminiscences of the CoiiRtruo-
tion Days of the Union
I'nclllc Hallway.
Youth or tliu V. P.
Dr. George L. Miller gracefully sub
mitted to another interview , and gave
the reporter more of his charming
reminiscences of early days :
"I was right in my first impression
that it was in 18 < 55 instead of 1808 , "
began the doctor. "I confounded the
two dates owing to the fact that the
general was hero in 18G6 as ho xuis in
1805. General Sherman reached Omaha
October 10 , 1805 , and was mot by a com
mittee consisting of Colonel John Pat
rick , chairman , and other prominent
gentlemen , who escorted him to the
Herndon house , tncn the hotel now the
Union Pacific headquarters , where the
Into Lorin Miller , at the time mayor of
Omaha , formally welcomed the guest to
our city in a brief conversational
speech. A great ball was given the
general in the hotel the next evening ,
October 11 , at which all of our leading
people had the pleasure of mepting him.
"It was the next day , Thurhdny , Oc
tober 12 , that the railway excursion to
the 'end of the trade came off. This
'end ol taack' was n transitory place ,
bearing the name , nowovcr , all through
the construction' At the time indicated
it was located at Sailing's grove , taking
the appellation from the farmer then
residing in that vicinity" , liftcon miles
nway ( rom Omaha. The train was of
the construction character and waa
made up of the locomotive General
W. T. Sherman , named in boner of that
gentleman , and dirt caivi on which were
mouiitnd boards supported by nail kegs
with buffalo robe upholbtory serving us
peats , Fortunately it happened at this
time that Dr. Durant , the great mana
ger of the road , and Colonel Silas Seymour -
mour , its eon faulting engfnuer , wore
horo. and they were among the guests
on this oceufalon , as were Governor
Saunders , Senator Paddock. Judge
William Kellogg , chief justice of the
territory , Senator Hitchcock , Edward
CroighUm , A. J. Popploton and many
more. TMo 'end o ( track' ulluctually
stopping our westward eonrho , oratory
was the order , and Gene IT. ! Shcrmi.n
was toasted , and made a bpecch con-
griUulating everybody upon the bogln-
ningof the great work of building the
ml I rend ( Baying that ho had had t > onie-
thing to do ulth trying to hogin at the
ether line in Ran 1-Yanelsco many years
ago. It was in the course of this speech
that ho expi cased the hope that the
younger men whom Imaddrr.bscd might
live to too the completion of the rail
way , nnct eald that ho could
hardly hope to behold It him-
eolf. The point of this fctory , and
it has been frequently told , is that four
years after the delivery of this BjM-Meh
General Sherman himself rode over the
Rooky mountains on the completed Pi- :
i with two oceans luinou by
iron , in a Pullman car , at the rate of
thirty miles an hour.
"Ono instance in the early construc
tion of the Union Pacific road was the
method of getting material brought to
the ground the iron , spikes , and all
that enters into railroad construction.
As I may have said before , thorp was
no communication by rail with Chicago
and the east direct , and everything had
to come to us by steamboat and river.
Ono of the most remarkable events in
connection with this method of trans
portation , I recall , was the production
by Durant , ono morning on our leveeas
wo called it itho bank of the Missouri
river at Omaha ) , of several barges
laden with iron that had been
towed up the river from St. Louis , a dis
tance of ever nine hundred miles , by
the steamer Elkhorn. ngainst the pre
dictions of all river men , who said that
the feat was impossible of execution.
The trip was made in nine days , but of
course the water was in what was termed
a good stapo.
"Tho principal occupation of the people
ple of Omaha in those days , " continued
the doctor , "was watching for the arri
val of steamers. Indulging in hones .of a
railroad across Iowa , and observing the
progress of the construction of the rail-
roau. J remember to have made a flam
ing .announcement November 20 , 1805 ,
to the effect that thirty-two miloa of the
Union Pacific railway had been finished ,
and that the Elkhorn river h'ad
been reached. It was before
this that a great exigency in the
history of this railroad arose
in rebpoct to the lines upon which it
should bo built from Omaha. The con
flict of opinion between Dr. Durant nnd
Pctor A. Doy , chief engineer , led to the
adoption of the new line as against the
one at first surveyed by Dey , now known
and located as the Dey lino. Great excitement
'
citement was caused i'n the little com-
'munity by the discussion of this pro-
pos'-d change , and a committee was
appointed by the citizens to go to Wash
ington and prevent it. Mr. Dey resigned -
signed his position , General G. M.
Dodge succueding-him , and Dr. Durant
procured I ho assent of the then presi
dent of the United States , Andrew
Johnton , to build' ins line through Mud
creek , whicli increased its length and
its subsidy from the go riimcnt to the
same extent. This com u. us I romcm-
bor , was denounced by Mr , Doy as un
necessary and dishonorable. Our com
munity wab vorv much stirred by this
excitement , and the construction put
upon the movement was that Durant
was changi'ig the terminus of the roud
and had Fcrrtitly designed to build from
UoUovno , and that meant the destruc
tion of Omaha , if it was true ,
"On tills account there was great
unanimity hero among the people
against thy change. 1 was sitting in
my editorial room one day in the midst
of it when Edward Croighton called and
wanted mo to t-tnrt immediately for Now
York to see Dr. Dunint and ascertain
the true inwnrtincf.s and causeof this
innovation , mid alto to learn v/hat the
result to Omaha uould bu. I obeyed the
order the ftuiio evening it was given
nnd took coach at Council lllulTs lor St.
Joseph , On nniving there I received a
tolegiam from Mr. Crcighton naying
that Mr. Durnnt had started for the
west from New York and that I should
go at oni-o to Fort Leaven worth , \\hore
Ui-ncnil Dodge was stationed in com
inatid of the Uopartinontof tloLTMtnourl (
IIu was , as ho had been duri n the war ,
chief engineer of the road , and it was
uippoicd that from him I could glean a
good many facts and Dion return to
Omaha un.l nwalt Uimuu's arrival.

shot in the battle before Atlanta , and
in very feeble health , but ready to im
part all necessary information , and ho
wen t so far as to expose with preat free
dom the correspondence ho had had
with Dr. Durant upon the question of
substituting the Mud Creek for the Day
lino. He said that the change was
necessary , and that while ho did not
approve it altogether , it was the bettor
thing to be done and that it meant no
harm to Omaha. Reasons were given
at length why this course was necessa
ry. I have always believed that it was
because of a lack of time and a greater
need of mouoy there was a million of
floating debt at that time which Web
ster Snyder , the superintendent , hardly
know how to manage , and in addition
a threatened strike on the part of the
unpaid laborers. I returned to Omaha
and reported accordingly , Durant ar
riving here and reassuring us , and the
result is known , that ho was acting in
perfect good faith and that ho com
pleted his railroad , and as I shall al
ways believe , by his energy and fore
sight , saving the trunk line of the Pa
cific railroad to Chicago and Omaha as
against St. Louis and Kansas City.
"This element of time comes in
now in connection with the
original provisions of the charter or
daining , as I remember , that which
ever one of the three branches of the
Pacific road first reached the 100 meri
dian should bo entitled to the subsidy
for the main trunk of the road. It was
right here and on that issue that Omaha
was saved by the energy , forecast and
resolution of Durant , in ordering this
change of line , thereby cheapening
construction and enabling him to com
plete the lirrit forty miles aud obtain
the first moneys on the road. Then all
was easy sailing. Anybody could have
built the railroad after that. Oceans
of money wore at hand in the subsidies
which the govorumonthad prantcdand ,
millions were made out of the construc
tion , as everybody knows. "
"Next time I will call your attention
to the great flood of April , 185.i ( , and its
bearing upon Omitlia interests , nnd also
our fears of destruction at the hands of
Bcllovue. "

Arbor Day ,
FOIIT ROBINSOK , ' Nob. , March 8.
[ Special to Tjiu BEJ : . ] As wo approach
the time again for ! Arbor Day in Ne
braska , I feel lilTo makijig an appeal to
the people to observe it and plant more
than over before. Nebraska is the pioneer
neer state in tree planting and her ex
ample has been followed by all or nearly
all , the states and' territories of the
union. The author of Arbor Day , J.
Sterling Morton , is a Nobraskanand in
originating' thojjlietuitlful custom , did
more for the hondfr.of Nebraska than any
other man who has yet lived in the
stato. Tree planting is honor , science
and the highest tyuo of development in
civilization. C'olbort ' prevented the
useless destruction of the forests of the
old world and all Europe rose up to do
him honor. But iColbert was honored
for merely being/Instrumental / in pre
venting the wa teTof forests , what shall
wo say of the itmn\vio creates forests.
All can share in tno honor , and as Jon
athan Swift saidB'whoovertmakes two
cars of corn oi.twp blades of'grass grow
on a spot of ground where only ono
grow before , dgborves better of man
kind , and does fyaro. essential Hcrvicoto
his country thai JG\yfiolo race of politi
cians put togotll6p. " If this is true of
two ears of corr&qe two blades of grass ,
how much inor tnuijt it bo true of a tree.
"Tho trees w6njt > ft > rth on a time to
annolnt a Itinajov'tir them , and they
said , unto th6' > Hvo tree 'Heign thou
. ' " So to tree ,
over us. Jos us say every
lie thou our'fifqr , but lot the olive
tree of peucaljii moj honored of all in
tills land of libpnyrpf ours.
The Gorman ' Uav9 a pretty custom of
each member ojt family living in a
rural district jildpting a tree at Whit
suntide , which inbs forty days after
Easter. At gai ylduwn on tl'iat day
their hinging bowotied in many parts of
Germany marcn 'to the top of the

The old Mexioan Indians oven plant

Aztecs also use to plant a tree every

furniahcd a gratuitous food for swine ,
the chief wealth , one may assum'o , of
those humble dwellers of 'the primeval
forest. " When the Aryan races migrat
ed westward from Asia they probably
brought this custom with them , for
there also trees are looked upon with
religious veneration. So , too , the
Greeks in this , as in many other things
of civilization , had an imaginative faith
in trees and associated the lives of
superhuman though not immortal
things with trees. "I cannot believe a
man wholly bad who has sympathy with
and loves a thing so innocent and beau
tiful as trees , " exclaims the pool Low
ell , so I believe that no man has lived in
vain who plants a tree to live after him.
But quite aside from the poetical and
imaginative sense of tree planting
which is certainly very beautiful , is
the common senho view of the case , the
necssity and usefulness of trees in Ne
braska ! Their influence upon our cli
mate , the increased , rainfall resulting
from their planting. the protection they
give from storms , and their uses for
wood and lumbar in a stnto whore na
ture Has deprived or denied us forests ,
are reasons enough why we should
plant.
I have always thought Arbor day
came too early in Nebraska ; if it wore in
May instead of April I think more trees
would bo planted , and that the trees
would do better. I submit this to Jtlio
nutlior of Arbor day and our legislature ,
and hope they will change the time for
Arbor day from the second Tuesday
in April to the second Tuesday
in May. I have always thought
the state should oiler a direct
reward in cash to the family that
planted with their own hands the great
est number of trees on Arbor day. Lot
the family that .so IB out the most trees
next Arbor day have $ .500 out of the
state treasury ; the next $100 ; the next
$ : JOO ; tlio next $200 ; the next $100 ; the
next $7o ; the next $50 , and the next fc5. !
It would all bo less than $2.000 per
annum , and this the state of Nebrcska
could well aflord to pay annually for the
encouragement of tree planting on its
treeless prairies ; yes , it can ntford to
pay $5,000 a year , for that matter , and
then bo greatly benelltted , Think what
a stimulous to tree planting the
hope of a reward of S00 yi
a nice , crisp draft out of the state
treasury would give to our tree plant
ers. I would bind them to keep the trues
growing for five years and protected
from lire , or return the reward.
There is so micn in this subject of
tree planting that when ono gets 10
writing upon it ho never knows when
to stop , but I wish only to write a short
lettnr this time , calling attention to a
matter so important , and I want the
loiter short so that the country nross
can use it and help the good worn on.
There is one thing I wish somebody
would do , and that is , tell the people
what kind of trees arc best to plant in
Nebraska , livery week I got letters
asking : " \VhatnhallIplanty" .I. Ster
ling Morton , ox-Governor Robert Kuriins
and others can readily answer this
question and advise the people what to
plant. JAMKS fcj ,

James Martin , a well-to-do farmer , is
the owner of one of the oldest homesteads -
steads in Blount county , Alabama. The
place has boon owned and occupied by
several generations of Martins , and the
mansion , a largo frame affair , is a very
old one , and is much the worse for ago
and want of repair. About five years
ago James Martin married Miss Noel ,
one of the belles of the county. The
young couple wont to live at the old
Martin home , and all wont well until
one year ago. Mrs. Martin , naturally
very'timid' heard a ghost rambling
through the old house one night and
was badly frightened. She told her
husband about it , but ho could hear
nothing , ho said. The following night
Mrs. Martin heard the ghost again , aad
from that time it became n nightly
visitor at the Martin home.
Mrs. Martin wanted to leave
the old homo at once , but her
husband objected , declaring the strange
noises heard were made by rats. Sev
eral timGH Mrs. Martin , so she says ,
saw a white-robed figure wandering
through the wide halls and dark rooms
of the old house , and teen her nerves
and health began to give way under
the strain. She bogged and pleaded
with her husband to move away from
the haunted house , but lie .still rufusud.
Mrs. Martin was finally prostrated by
her fear of the ghost , and wont to the
homo of her parent * to recover her
health and strength. Her relatives
and friends joined her in unpcals to
her husband to give up the old house ,
but ho still refused , when four of the
ghost overcame love of husband and
Mrs. Martin refused to live with him
again. Martin tried in vain to induce
Ills wife to return to the haunted liouoo
to live , butslio rjfmo 1. and a low days
ago lie 11 led a suit for divorce on the
ground of abandonment.
Ono Sunday night , not lotif ; ago ,
while the snow and wind Btorm was at
its height in New London , Conn. , a
Blinman street lady was awakened by a
uu/.zing Bound ii ; her car , and was
startled by a far-olT voice repeating in
melodious tones.Vnkc up ! " " ' ( jot

mons , and was terribly frightened on
dibcovoring that.tho houbo was on lire.
The soot in the old-fabhionod liro-plaoe
in the kitchen , which was over a foot
dee ] ) , was burning , and the flames were
shooting tin ough the llro board. The
lady boon aroumid the household , and
the lire was extinguished before any
bcriouu damage wiu > done. That the
warning was given no one who knows
the lady will doubt , and hut for the
warning it is probable that the JIOUPO
ami homo of the occupants would have
been burned.
Thorn is excitement and agitation
among the occupants of the handsome
four-story house at 109Vcut Eleventh
street , Now York C.'ityf The house was
the scene of a torriDlo tragedy a few
years ago. It was hero that Dr. Connolly
nelly killed his two children by cutting
their throats find then killed himself.
Through a glass partition Ills wife naw
him kill the children and faho ran. violently
lently insane , into the sti'out. The
house IB leased by George L. Hcrriuk ,
who sublets all of it ova-opt the Una
floor , which ho and his wife occupy.
The second floor front is occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols. Mrs. Nichols
declares she has hoard footsteps at the
door of her apartments at night.
Believing some "one was trying to
annoy her , she has opened the
door , but could not discover any
0110. Ono night last week she waa
frightened while sowing in her room at
about 11 o'clock by a heavy rap on the
table. People in the next room heard
the ran. She jumped to her feet and
was almost paralyzed by the sight of the
transparent form of a man disappearing1
behind a sofa. Mrs. Scott , another tenant -
ant , says that while sitting up ono re
cent night waiting for her husband she
saw through the glass p.incl of a door
the ghostly figure of an elderly man ,
who seemed to bo dragging something'
behind him. The ghost passed behind
the bed in her room and disappeared.
She has found the door of her room
mysteriously onon often she had bolted it
on the inside. A few nights ago Miss
