Union I'nol/lo OfllCInt * Uinlorno the ICxicctncl | Gh'iticra ' In Position. The ofllclnl changes , previously announced In Tin : Br.c , took place at Union Pacific head quarters yesterday morning. As a conso- nucnco.se vcral clerks were relieved of duty In Vlco President KltnbaU's ' department. In all , five were affected by the change , but some were fortunate enough to sccuro positions In other departments. T. M. Orr was hard al work nt his desk ns usual. Ho Is no longer assistant to the gen- cniUnaimgcr , but is yet in the employ of the cotn'pnny. It was reported that ho had tend- crod his resignation , but this was merely a matter of form , Inasmuch as the position of general manager was abolishedlo take effect yesterday. This action also Involved the aboli tion of the title of assistant to the gcncrnl manager , consequently Mr. Orr labors r.o loiiKor under that title , but Is patiently awaiting future developments. While ho may retire from the sorvlco of the company there is n posblbllity of his being persuaded to remain , and accent some other position. Under the now state of affairs but n sljght clinugo will bo mndo In the location of the ofllccs. Vice President Klmball will occupy the room adjoining his present , Barters , aud the latter will bo added to the compartments of Vice President Ilolcomu. General Mnu- ngor Dickinson will occupy his old quarters , ns will also General Trafllc Manager Mellon , and General Purchasing Agent McKlbben. Tlio working force will bo increased In the general trulllo department owing to the largo volume of business that will revert to that ofltco on account of the change uiado in the form of making trunic reports. At least thrco clerks will bo added to Mr. Mollcn's staff. IX COLI VPSE ? Thn Vnnderbllt Speculation n Death Blow to the Prcsklc'nts" Combine. Notwithstanding the denials that have been made concerning the probability of the lutcr-fitatc railway association going to the wall , the opinion prevails hero that the asso- , cintion will BOOH collapse. It is reported that the Union Pacific and the Chicaco & Northwestern have withdrawn from ttio or ganization , but inquiry nr , the headquarters of the former road elicited n denial. A well- known official who has Just returned from Chicago said : ' 'To a man up a tree it would appear as thouck the assoclutinu is destined to go to the wall , ( n Chicago , it is the gen- crul talk. As to the reported withdrawal of the Union Pacilic , I actually Delievo , that if it has not already clone so it will in a short time. On account of the coalition of that road nnd the Northwestern , thcro is no way out of it but for both roads to withdraw. They must cither do this , or the rules of tlio association , if lived uu to , will imilto the tralllo agree ment inoperative. There is no'denylng that the Intnr-titnto Hallway association U iu bad slinpo , and its longevity Is n serious ques tion. " "In what respect docs the trafltc agree ment infract the rules of the association t " "Why , in every respect. Do you suppose that the roads are wiling to bind themselves to maintain rates , nnd allow two of the mom- bora to gobble up the majority of the trafllc , nnd especially a majority of the through business ? Tlio rules of the association ex plicitly state that there shall bo no combina tions lornicd of any , or between any of the roads entitled to mem bership , for the purpose of diverting trafllc. If the Union Paciilc nnd tlio Chicago & Northwestern did not have this object in view , wherefore did they enter into a close trnfllo agreement that amounts almost to n consolidation ? It is useless for any one to outer a denial as to the purports of the agreement.Vo all understand it fully. " must Issue Chocks. Superintendent Thompson , ot the Bur lington , has Issued an order directing con ductors , when a passnngcr desires to atop en route , to issue stop-over checks instead of making an indenture on the back of tbo ticket. _ Ornnlm Bureau Orgnn'ztMl. The Omaha bureau of the Western Car Service association was organized yesterday morning with A. A. Jones as chief. The car service bureau Is similar to the demurrage bureau , the principal points involved being tlio levying ot a land on cars loaded nnd detained at the point of deliv ery. Under the rules taking effect yes terday the tarift on each car detained , after the first twenty- four hours , will bo $1 per day for each day , and until the car shall have been unloaded nnd reported "empty. " Mr. Jones has had charge of the demurrage bureau hero for a considerable length of time , and stnt6s a croat deal has beun accom plished during that time. Ho will have sev eral assistants and a strong clerical force. Railroad Notes. W. II. Hamsoyer. master car builder of the Elldiorn , Is in the city. A. W.

For public appreciation and general enjoy ment , "Norma" is , without doubt , the pret tiest grand opera ever written. It Is musical , melodious and charming from beginning to end , and just the kind of music that people of average Intoligonco can appreciate. Tins opera was produced for the first time in Omaha ut Boyd'a last night , \vitu ICnituu Abbott , LIzzlo Antmndaln , Myra Mlrclln , Signer A. MontcrgliTo , Richard Karl and II. Kennedy m the ast of principal characters , supported by the Abbott chorus , and proved to bo the most artistic per formance given during the present engage ment. Miss Abbott , Miss Annaudalo and MomeerifTo appeared to great advantage aad sustained their respective roles in an en tirely satisfactory manner. They seemed to ruulizo that tbo occasion required extraordi nary effort , and their work fully demon strated that they are capable , both in vocal and dramatic ability , of mooting any demand mndo upon them. "Nornm" is designated as a tragio opera , founded on u Hoinan story , into which is woven an interesting and strong plot. Having effected the subjugation of Gaul , the Itomuus made Pollio. a pro-consul , governor of tuo couquerod urorlaco. Ho bo- cauio enamored of un arch-druid'a daughter and secretly married her , and two children weru born to them , Subsequently Pollio transfers tils affections to Adalyisa , a lovely princess of the temple of Irmlncul , and attempts to Have her lly with him , but is defeated in his scheme. These thrco parts were taiccn by Abbott , Montcgrifto and Annandalo. In addition to any musical strength or nrominonco that may attach to them , they admit of an ubund- nnro of dramntlo enthusiasm , and these tliruo urllsts supplied it to the complete satis faction nnd ndilicutlon of the uudlenco , which , considering the very stormy and dls- nercoublo weather , was largo uud rcpro- BOQtutlvo. At no tlino has Miss Abbott uoon seou on an Omaha stage In u character that apparently suited the range , quality and beauty of her voice so perfectly as in tlia tlllo roll ) of "Nornm. " The loose lilting costuma and long ( lowing liulr gave her the approprlutu tragical air , and thn interjected demonstrations furnished all necessary cllcct needed lo inako a finished performance. In the llrst und second aetb Hho gained her greatest vocal triumphs. The real gem of the evening was the duet , between Miss Abbott and MUa Annandale , In the second cct , though the trio rcnderoii by them nnd MontrgrifTo was well ruceivcc ) . All the way through the opera Moutegriffo ucqulltod himself nobl.v , and Miss Attnandale was In line volco. ' 1 ho chorus was very strong and MM.

Tlio AVhllCM nnil Blacks In tlio South Growlnc Ajmrr. The Rev. Dr. A. E. Dickinson , the editor of the Religious Herald of this city , says n Richmond dispatch to the Baltimore Sun , ono of the most widely circulated religious papers in the south' , says : "I hnvo within a few months boon over much of the utato , attended largo Baptist meetings nnd have had favora ble opportunities for ascertaining the facts us to the relations of the races. And I may Buy that I huvo never known a more profound interest manifested in anything than that felt as to the result of the contest now ponding. The two races are growing apart mo'ro and more. The colored people are more distrustful of the whites day by day , anil the whites are becoming more oxasporatcd at the massing of tbo colored vote against them whenever an election comes olT. Over and over of lalo I have heard solid old Virginians say things which indicate how in tensely they feel on this subject. Hero and tliero I have heard a man whom I linvo known for long years , and from whoso lips I hayo never before known an in discreet word to fallinrin that his pa- tioncu was all gone , . and that now bo was ready foralmoBUiny measure which might teach the colored people of VJr- piniu that they t can never rule thoold state. , To this end many are withdrawing from the colored schools any appropriations ex cept these raised by faxes on their own property. That , of course , would prac tically break up thoir' 'sojiools , as you know that the negrobs'piiy only about one-fourth of the aniblint thoir'schools cost the commonwealth' , l-'or ono , I am opposed to nil extreme measures. ' The Virginia whites ought to scolc in every way possible to gain influence over the colored people inlluenco by which wo may guido them in the best way ns to everything .that cornea up , and wo ought not to bo discouraged , but to persevere in well doing. I nslced an intelligent col ored man if lie know of a single instance in the stuto of Vorglnin in which any white man was donling unjustly by a negro because of his color. Ho replied , nftor a little rolleo.tion : 'J do not know of a single case of the kind. ' Certainly , I do not know of any such case. The trouble comes lurecly from bad men , w.hlto and colored , who , for political reasons , soolc to stir up strife between the races. They nro the wretches who are at the bottom of ull this trouble in the south. " Coburn Has Rocolvod Nearly $50- 000 for Runnlnff It. HIS TWO DEBTS TO DOUGLAS.

What's the matter horoV" nskcd I , finding n considerable crowd assembled around the long , low front of the great eastern depot at Moscow , the starting point of the railway that connects Rus sia's old capital with the famous com mercial center of Nijni-Vovgorod , on the upper Volga , writes David Kor , iu Harper's. "Some follows going along the Vlad- mir road"said a passer-by carelessly. I shivered in voluntarily at the words , which are n proverbial phase in Russia for transportation to Siberia , the man ufacturing town of Vladimir standing on the great eastern highway ; which is the most direct route lo the penal set tlements. But before I had time to re ply , n peculiar clinking sound only too familiar to my ear from , my visits to countless prisons iu all parts of the world told mo that the chain-gang was nt hand ; nnd in another moment the crowd parted like water cleft by the prow of a ship , and the dismal proces- nlon came filing through it. It was n strange spectacle , and not without a certain gloomy picturesque- ness of its own , sad and heartsickoning though it was. Most of the prisoners had the sullen dogged look of the burd ened social outlaw , who wages a lifelong war against society , neither giving nor expecting mercy. In the sunken eyes of the others lurked the half-cowed , half-fron'ziod glare ot the trapped beast of prey , ns they koptglancing stealthily but ceaselessly around them , bent upon attempting tin escape , or upon some other venture moro dcsporato still , if tticy could but find a tit moment uud u ready weapon. I noticed ono whito-linirod old man , very poorly dressed , whoso haggard face , hollow eyes and bowed attitude of utter despondency showed that ho had reached the lowest depths of misery whore hope ceased to exist' , and all that can bo wished or expected is a lessoned measure of wickedness. Buhind him came several \oung _ lads evidently professional criminals , with a whole life-time of viciousness nnd guilt branded on their beardless faces , which had barely outgrown ' grown the years of boyhood. 'Tnoso strove to assume an air of swaggering nnd rqckless defiance ; but thu poor pre tense imposed upon no one , and least of all upon the stalwart soldiers , who marched beside them , who , knowing well what real courage is , looked down with just contempt oa this miserable affectation of it. Almost at the end of the gloomy file came the figure of u womanstill young , whoso face , wasted uud deformed , though it was by vice and misery , still bore manifest truces of former beauty. The hardness nnd heaviness of tlio lower featurefc a characteristic defect with nearly all women of Slavonian race contrastedstartingly with the un natural brilliancy of her wonderful eyes , which kept glancing around with u fierce restlessness that reminded mo of the look which I had once been in the eyes of a snared wolf , a''What has Hho donoV" inquired I of ono of the guards , ' "Murdered her child , " said the man quite coolly , and I asked him no moro. Suddenly there broke from the crowd a voice as sharp and full of atrony UH the cry of a sleep-walker suddenly awaken ed. "Ach , Mooshal Mecstin ! " ( Olil Michael ! my Miohaoli ) . Framed in the durknossof the prisnn- car doorway stood a solitary form , the last of that doomed bund , tuicinu his farewell look of thu world lie was leav- i.ig. The face was that of a young man , and though white and shrunken as the face of a corpse , it had in it u nameless something which showed him to bo far above the foul creatures with whom it was now his doom to live forever. At the cry he turned his head , and I hud just caught a passing glimpse of u young girl in the crowd she , perhaps , for whos.0 biiko ho hud plunged into crime stretching out her urnm to him despairingly , when the whistle bounded its warning hcronm. I had barely time to spring into my own car \yhun the fatal door shut up'j.i Us prisoner with u dull thud , like the fulling of a cuflln lid. There came a long , grinding croak und oil wenttlio train with itsdismal freight. I looked out ; the girl was gone , but I could boo fur in the distance two gray- coated "gorodoviyo" ( constables ) carry ing away u motionless figure between thorn , AMONG MEXICAN BANDITS. ft. Itobbcr Mnkcs Ilia Kscnno Whllo Hlmcklcil to a Corpse. About a week 1ms elapsed since thrco bandits attacked n diligence in the stnto ot Vora. Cruz , snya the San Fran cisco Kxnmlnor. Among its passengers , wcro a number of Americans. The driver , nt the command of the high waymen , who were backed by throe re volvers which fully covered him.brouRlit his horses to n standstill. Ho was made to dismount , nnd in the usual style was made to slnnd nt ono sldo ot the roadway with his hands pointing heavenward. The passengers were then requested to stop out of the coach < nnd fall in line with the driver. Ono of ttio Americans was ono of the first lo obey the mandate of the hold-ups. Ho , how ever , on dismounting , did not leave his Winchester behind , and hail hardly touched mother earth when ho com menced to dump cold lend into the high waymen with a el ; 111 that put them lo Might. The Jdny following this opiaoilo , and in the eamo vicinity , the Identical gang tackled that stngo again. They suc ceeded in relieving the passengers , who were nil Mexicans , of everything of vnluo on their parsons and loft them doing duty in line with their ImnilH ubovo their heads. Flushed with the success that had attended their exploits , the highwaymen had not gene far before - fore they foil in with two mule drivers , nnd at the point of the revolver pro ceeded to despoil them of everything they had packed upon their animals. Ono of the mule drivoM , not relishing the treatmentremonstratedand befell u victim to the wrath of the hold-ups. Ho was tied , thrown to the ground and his nose buried in the sand. His com panion kept n discreet nilonco during the disposition of his goods nnd was not molested. For some reason or other nftor the robbora had completed their work on o of thorn remained behind. The mule driver who had kept quiet said to him : ' Yo tcconosco. " "Well , ! will fix you so you won't know me. " replied the highwayman , and ho pulled his revolver nnd commenced shooting tit the driver , who kept dodg ing until the shots in the revolver had been exhausted. Ho then fell tiuon the hold-up with n rock , saying to him : "Yo mo tocu , n. mi. " ( Now it is my turn. ) The first blow with the missile knocked the skin oft the robbora faco. They thon. grappled and foil to the onrtn , polLlug onch other without meroy. During the struggle the ether driver managed to free hlmsolf from the ropes with which ho luxd boon tied , nnd with n rock in Imnd foil upon the blooding highwayman , boating him to n jolly. The two vic torious drivers then took tlioir prlzo nnd tied him to ono ot the animals and escorted him to nn adjoining hamlet , . where ho was shackled to another prisoner. Uy some means or other the two inon cfTootcd their escape from the room in which they were confined , A posse wont in pursuit , and n running lire was opened. The tnnn shackled to tlio highwnnniun was killed by ono of the shots. Ho was now picked up by the ( 'ntnoy Yobbor , who mndo good big uscnpo , notwithstanding the bunion that ho was carrying. Twoorlhroo days afterward , about three miles from where the fight oc curred , the body ot the tnnn wlio was slmculod to ( ho hold-up was found in n hut with his log cut off , but the robber was gono. Tlio highwayman , who was recognized iu the hamlet , is Known ns a very dcsporato chnrnctor.
