The United Stales court room presented an
Active appearance yesterday , Thcro was
a brilliant array of leeal talent Interested In
the celebrated Injunction case of tlio Milwau
kee against the Union Paclllc. Ou the f > ldo
of the Milwaukee wcro Messrs. Poppleton ,
Woolworth and Montgomery of this city ,
who were lending counseland bcsido them sat
John T. Pish , the general solicitor of the Mil
waukee nt Chicago ; John 'W. Carey , general
solicitor of the aarno road with headquarters
nt Milwaukee : M. K. Low , general solicitor
of the Uoclt Inland road , ana several of tlio
lesser lights from the Ihw departments of
both loads. On the Union Paclllo sldo of the
table sat lion. John M. Tburston and linlloy
1' . 'WnpgfMicr. the general attornov for the
Missom I Pacific. The latter Insisted , Iiow-
ovur , that ho only came to look on.
A criminal case was the Jlrst on the docket
and occupied the tlmo of the court until
about live inlnutci before the hour for the
noon adjournment.
In that flvo mlnutci Mr , Montgomery
called the nltcntlou of the court to mi afll-
davlt Hied yesterday In which nn olllclal
of the Milwaukee road certified that tha
agents for that roud had sought each day to
cross the river In nccordaneo with the
terms of the contract with the Union Pacific ,
hut hud hoon prevented from doing so by the
ngents of tholattcr. Mr. Montgomery argued
that the olllclals of the Union Paclllc were
In contempt us regards the United States
court because the transferring of the case to
the latter court also transferred the rcstr.iln-
Ing order of the lower court , which thereby
remained in force thu .s.nno us if it had been
an order Issued by the United States court.
An adjournment was taken until" o'clock
before any further argument was had ou tlito
point.When
When the court met in the afternoon Mr.
Tisk , for the Milwaukee , asked that an
order for attachment of the Union Pnulfla
officials for contempt bo Issued. Mr. Thurs-
ton , for the Union 1'acllic , claimed that no
order hud boon Issued by the federal court
and that the violation of tlio orders of the
lower court should not bo considered hy the
federal court. Judge Dundy refused to Issue
nn order without a hearing of the case , nud
the arguments were proceeded with' .
Mr. Poppleton opened tlio argument and
outlined to the court the contract between
the Milwaukee nnd the Union Pacific roads ,
taking thu answer filed by the defendant to
show that the signing of the contract hy the
proper ottlclals was admitted , which , ho
claimed , divested the defendant of all right
to claim that the contract was Invalid.
Kef 01 ring further to the answer of the
Union Pacific , Mr. Popplcton read that the
Uulon Puclfiowus Importuned by the Mil-
winheo to enter into the contract , and that
the contract bad never been properlyratifled.
Ho nrgnod that the executive com-
nnttco of the Union Pacific hnd author-
Ir-od the execution of the contract ,
nnd ho charged that ovcry ant of the execu
tive committee hnd received the general and
nweoplng sanction of the board of directors ,
Irrespective of ttio character of those nets.
Kpudlng further , Mr. Poppleton called the
X attention of tlio court to a passage In which
' the Union Pacific repudiated the contract
with the Uock Island road , alleging that the
carrying out of these contracts would Inter
fere with the proper discharge of the duties
- of the Union Pacific to the government of
the United States , nnd would Interfere with
the proper opciation of the road.
Another r-lauso in the reply was read , In
which II was stated Hint the government di
rectors had never ratilled the contract and
that this was another ground for declar'
Ing It Illegal. Mr. Poppleton Itold that the
"Union Paclflo road was an Independent pnrty
nnd cajmblo of making tontructs without the
iiccesolty of the approval of the United
States through its representatives In the di
rectory. Ho held that no attempt hnd been
iniulo by the board of directors to revoke the
contract , but au arbitrary method had been
taken toduclaro upon the validity of the con
tract without leave or liceiiso of the second
party thoroto.
Taking the contract between the two roads ,
Mr. 1'oppleton proceeded to nnalyzo It. The
defense , ho said , claimed It was a lease. Ho
hold it was simply a contract for terminal
faculties In the cities of Omaha and South
Omaha , giving the Milwaukee the right to
run over the tracks between these points nnd
the manufacturing districts of both cities ,
using its own motive power , in consideration
of nn annual rental of15.000 , payable
monthly.
Mr , Popploton claimed that the contract
- \vas u fair ono , for which the Union Pacific
was to receive nmnlo consideration. The
statement had been made that the terminal
facilities of the road in Omnha were worth
$5,000,000 or $0,000,000 , nnd according to the
contract they were to rocolvo a rental equal
to S or 0 per cent , which ho considered am
ple.Ho
Ho aruucd that the Milwaukee nnd Rock
Island would have had a brldgo of their own
had they not been decoyed into u contract
with tlio Union Pacific1.
Speaking of the contract between the Milwaukee -
waukeo and the Union Paclllc , for * terminal
facilities when the now depot should have
been completed , Mr. Poppletcm charged that ,
in vlow of the declaration that the contract
in question was Illegal because the Union Pa
cific had no right to grant the use of Its
tracks and brldgo to other roads , the en
trance of any eastern road to Omahn was Im
possible as long ns the Union Paclflo stood
like n watchdog at tlio entrance to the city.
Taking the statement that the agreement
in ( ] iicstlon wns n lease , nnd that the Union
Pacific had the right to abrogate It , Mr , Pop 1t
ploton proceeded to show that the agreement
bore none of the distinctive characteristics
of a lease. The Union Paclllo ro-
tnlned full control of the tracks , which the
Milwaukee wns allowed to run over ; wai
bound to keep the trncits in
repair nnd reserved 1-
served the right to govern the movements of 1I
the lattor's trains. The Union Paclflo com I-
pany did not abrogate ono scintilla of its
power in the rcntrnct. It was only a means
whereby the Milwaukee might reach Omaha
with Its passengers nnd freight without the
annoyance of the oxchnngo on the Iowa sldo.
Not a word In the contract related In nnv way
to franchises , ortho rcionsliiE otany part of i.i.
the control of the Union Paclllc over its road.
end It could not bo dubbed a lease In the legal
weaning of that word. It wns n contract and
provided imiong Its terms that all differences
should bo settled peaceably by arbitration. I
Ho claimed , therefore , that neither party had
tbe right to declare the contract illegal and
void.
void..After
.After from
quoting numerous authorities
to support his stand , Mr. Popploton referred
to the practice whiob is rapidly growing in
this country of making the traffic of the
country puss over the ro.xds which now exist
instead of covering the land with parallel
roads nt an outlay of millions of dollars. He
charged that the present cnso wns not a con i-
flict between the Union Pacific , the Milwau i- ii
kee and the Hock Island , but was a
contest between an Irresponsible nnd ruthless -
less power , which was slowly reaching out
its tentacles to oppress the whole community Itr
nnd Iho pcoplo. Tbcso pcoplo had , after
long suffering , cried out for relief , with hut
little prospect of getting it.
Mr. Poppleton then rend from the proceed I-
ings of thu Intontnto commerce commission
lolating to the contract between the Union
Pacific and Uock Island , giving the latter
running privileges over the tracks of the
former between Topeka und Kansas City ,
Tbo commission found that the contract
between ttieso two roads was a legal
one , nnd the Union Paclflo had in nc
I'/ \viso suffered in any wuv from thla
'
contract , but that the general business of the
country had been Improved by obviating the
necessity for the construction of parallel
I'1 linos.
After quoting from numerous authorities
to show the right of the Union Paclllo to
legally inako such contracts as the ono lu
1 qubstlou , Mr. Popploton proceeded to show
the effect of the state law upon the question
quoting from the 1'obraska statutes an ncl
giving roads In existence buforo the passage
of the act authority to make contracts foi
the use of tholr tracks. He claimed thai
this act had a ( bearing ou the question
Ho quoted also from the uot of congress o :
February. 1871 , plying the Union Paclfla
power to brldgo tbo river , nnd outlining the
powers nnd duties of the company in Its con *
trol over the bridge. Ho held that the com
pany was required to allow other roads to
crons the brldgo nt n rcasonnblo compensa
tion. That It was not Intended that tbo trains
of other roads should bo hauled by the en
gines of the Union Pacific road , but that they
should Lo hauled by tholr owa
motlvo power. It was absurd to say
that this act meant that a full moving train
might not enter upon the brldgo nnd cross to
the point of destination with Its own engine.
The tendency of alt legislation was towards
the continuity of lines , nnd this could not bo
accomplished by the means proposed by the
Union Pacific.
Having thus reviewed the case In full , Mr.
Popploton charged that the defendants came
Into court with their hands red with the
blood of violence , and bo held that they
should be made to purge themselves
before coming Into court by replacing
the property they hnd destroyed , Ho held
that , the plain tiffs were entitled to a restrain
ing order , upon the face of the showing and
In vlow of tlio violence of tlio Uulon Pacific ,
until the latter should have restored the
property displaced nnd hnvo shown cause
why the Injunction should not bo made per
manent.
At the conclusion of Mr. Popploton's ' ar
gument , Judge Uundy directed the officers of
the Union Pacific to show caasc , by 2 p. m.
today , why they should not bo hem for coa-
tempt.
Ronld and Director Pluniuier.
It Is now openly charged hy interested par-
tics In the light between the Milwaukee and
Union Paclllo that Government Director
Plummcr of the Union Paclfla Is being used
by Gould to Impress the officials nt Washing
ton and to cnde.ivor if possible to enlist their
aid In the wizard's schemes for freezing out
the Milwaukee nnd Koclt Island roads from
Omaha. Mr. Plummcr , it Is claimed , went
to Washington nt the instigation of Jny
Gould a short tlino ago and appealed to tbo
secretary of the Interior to declare the con
tract with the Hock Island and St. Paul
roads null nnd void because it was against
public policy nnd calculated to injure the
government's interest In the Union Paclllc ,
Government Director Plummor was formerly
n member of the largo grocery Jinn of Plti in-
mor & Co. of New VTork , which made a bad
falluio about n year or so ago. Mr. Plummcr
was somewhat of a politician In Now York ,
nnd consequently succeeded through the in-
lluenco of Jay Gould and prominent Now
Vork politicians In securing the appointment
of government Inspector of the Union Pa
cific. He has ever since tried to rehabilitate
himself in business , and it Is the opinion of
railroad officials that ho expects to secure
Gould's ' support by befriending him In this
matter.
"it is strnngo , " said a prominent official ,
"that a man holding so Important a position
ns government director of the Union Paclllc
should not , have sufficient intelligence ) to un
derstand both the meaning and import of a
contract as plain and simple In its provisions
as the one between the Union Pacific and
Hock Island and St. Paul roads. "
Mock's Mexican Mission.
General Manager Meek of the Colorado and
Tort Worth divisions of the Union Pacific ,
whoso resignation has been accepted , has , it
Is said , a fortune ahead of him in some Mexi
can Investments. Ho has secured grants
from the Mexican government giving him the
solo right to introduce electricity into the
City of Mexico for lighting and transporta
tion purposes. His plans are said to include
the building of 200 miles of electric railway
and as ho has a corner on the business , ho is
sure to make money. Ills concession is con 9i
sidered ono of the most valuable ever granted
by Mexico.
Mr. Ilcssegule's Retirement.
General Manager Rcsscgulo of the Montana
division of the Union Pacific has been relieved
liovod and W H. Bancroft , late of the ttio
Grande & Great Western , appointed to suc
ceed him. This chnngo was reported in
these columns several days ago. Air. Ilosso-
culo has been unfortunate in his management
of the division nnd the retirement Is the cul
mination of a bitter light that has boon made
against him over since ho has bcoa connected
with the Union Pucltlo by coitaln officials ol
the company. Ills resignation takes effect

THAT "OM/V" ANNUAL.
A Mass of Inaccurate and WortliU-si
Pleurcfl ,
Early In the 70's THE BKE conceived thi
idea of publishing the first annual review o
Omaha's financial , commercial and Indus
trial growth. Bacn succeeding year \va
rounded out by those records of unsurpassci
progress nnd prosperity. The ono oojccl :
always neld In view la compiling these ox
hnustlvo facts and figures was that of occur
acy nnd reliability. Inflation was tabooei
from first to last , primarily because Itva
unnecessary nnd always because it was li
every sense ill-advised and unwho. In short
TUB HKu'sKovknvs ' have been standard goods
'
Every other year THE BKE'S annual has bcoi (
Illustrated and the artistic work was th :
- best that money could secure. In the altci
irs
lulling years the review has not boon lllus
tratod , special efforts having- boon dlroctci
toward comprehensive nnd absolutely roll
nblo statistics of the year's record of udvanci

- In recent years competitors have ossnyo
to rival TUB Bus Annual. But tholr effort
have boon dismal failures. They have throwi
upon the city a mass of half-cooked stud
made up of glittering generalities , ii
tinted figures and loaded down wit
errors and Inexcusable blunders. Th
padded and distorted figures of ono year wci

such ilrras.
The bogus shoot found eighteen produce
and commission dealers. TIIK Bnn gave n
list of twcnty-uino such firms with their
year's business. Our contemporary dodged
tables on the capital Invested nnd sales of the
jobbers. TUB B BE gave both.
The bogus sheet's ' figures regarding the
manu f actu ring Industries are on a par with Its
jobbing reports , it claims 113manufactorlng
establishments for Omaha , but does not give
any details of their work. TDK BEE gave a
list of 1G3 manufacturing establishments and
a resume of the year's ' business of most of
them. In this department the abortion re
ported sixteen brick manufacturers. Tim
Ur.E pave a list ol twenty-nineof them with ,
tholr Individual nnd aggregate products.
The bogus shoot reported fourteen cigar
manufacturers. TIIK BEE found thirty-live.
The bogus sheet had reports from four car
riage nnd wagon makers : TnuBEE reported
the business of eight of thorn.
The bogus sheet had three sash manufac
turers ; Tun Hi ; u reported ton , with tholr bus

TIIR Ilpu found three soap manufacturers ,

While the "Own nnd Only" satisfied itself
with giving the receipts of live stock nt the
South Omaha yards for the year , as com
pared with former years , TUB IJci ! gave the
receipts and the shipments as well , both by
months and .vcars since the opening of the
yards. Tin ; line gave the percentage of the

overlooked by "tho only. "
Thnrocan bo no comparison at all botwccn
the two ropoits of the year's work of the
packinghouses. The "own nnd only" con-
lined Its report to three-fourths of n column
of very incacrennd Incomplete figures , omit
ting the Omaha packing company's ' hoiuo
entirely from tbo list. THE BEK devoted five
columns to the most complete report of the
packing business over published. The
aggregate business of the houses was given
supplemented with a detailed statement of
the business of each house and ft recapitula
tion showing the disposition of stock , total
slaughterings , average weight and cost , ship
ments In car louj , ttio production In pounns
and the value to a cent of > .n year's ' busi
ness. All of those features were ttoscst from
the "only annual. "
According to the latter the banks of South

The Indian outbreak has at least boon the

a tin cup. The gold articles in this col
lection would fill a peck measure , and
many cltios seem to have given General
Grant a gold box containing the papers
in which their freedom was presented.
The box which ho'received at Ay Scot
land , is as biff as a * cigar'box , and is of *
solid gold. The city of Glasgow gave
him a still larger ono , beautifully chased ,
and the gold box which he received
from the city of London is a wonder of
artistic workmanship , bearing an en
graving of the capltol on ono side and of
the Lpndon Guildlin.il on the other. En
ameled' ' on its golden Burfaco arc , the
union jack , the red , white ana blue , and
tlio poddess of liberty shaking hands
with the British lion. '
There is a beautiful cigar case of gold
from the king of Slum , a model of the
table on which Leo's surrender was
signed In solid gold , and a solid gold in
vitation card as largo as a postal card
and about four times as thick , which
was sent to General Grant in a solid sil
ver envelope , inviting him to a masked
ball at San Francisco. There are u num
ber of silver menus , a gold-handled
knlfo which the minors of Idaho gave
him , gold-headed cnnes set with diamonds
mends , and medals and other articles of
gold.
The order of the Sholokat , which the
sultan gave to Mrs. S. S. Cox , is also
kept in she national museum. It is a
star larger around than a trade dollar ,
which sparkles with moro than a hun-
orod diamonds. Thcso diamonds are sot
in gold on brown , gold , and green
onainul. The star has five points , and
there uro twenty-six diamonds on each
point. It has a. beautiful ribbon sash
connected with' * it , and was given to Mrs.
Cox ono night at the sultan's palace
when she went there to dinner with her
husband and ate Turkish viands served
up hy a French cook on gold plates.
After the dinner was over the sultan
presented this insignia. She thought ,
I am told , that she was to have It forever -
over , but it scorns that his majesty only
lends such presents for life , ana when
she dies It li to bo returned to him. The
wife of Minister Straus was decorated
with the sumo order , and she will have
to return it in the distant future.
Uncle Sam has a vast collection of the
jewels of savages. Ho has silverware
made by the Indians of Arizona , carved
ornaments from Alaska and great brace
lets and anklets of gold , silver and
brass from India. Ono of the moat curi
ous necklaces in his collection is ono of
human fingers , which the men of some
of the Indian tribes wear , nnd there Is
ono made of slxty-sovoa human tooth ,
with holes pierced at the roots to string
them.
This necklace was ton inches long ,
and a number of teeth evidently need
filling. It cnmo from the Fiji
islands , nnd was found there
in 1810. Another necklace was made
of human hair , into which the tusk of
the walrus was wove'n. It was about two
inches thick and t\venty inches long.
Another suvago "Ifficklaco is ono of
human and dog tooth combined , nnd
there are necklaces of stone , of gold , sil
ver , copper and brasp of all shapes nnd
sizes , gathered from all parts of the
world.
It is difficult to appreciate the slzo of
the National museum. It Is growing
moro rapidly thaiiJpnah'H ; gourd , and it
is now ono of the jb.est organized muse
ums in the world. It surpasses any
other in the line of Indian antiquities
and matters connobtod with America ,

A dozen candidates were up for the clerk

work as dlil that of the president. It was
finally decided to retain John Orovoi , the

necessary to secure the consent of Aloroarty
