It Is announced soml-onicmlly that the members of the Board of County Commis sioners have accepted the proposition of the Nebraska Central Hallway company , and that when the .session is hold next Friday morning a resolution to submit the question of voting ? . > 00.000 of county bonds to aid In tbo construction of the bridge nt the foot of Cass street will bo adopted. Everything hav- mc been agreed to , this session will be merely for the purpose of putting the matter In legal form. Tuesday's meotine was a very satisfac tory ono to the railroad olllclals , as well us to the county commissioners. It was proposed to bavo the committee on the arbitration of differences that might arlso consist of on J member of tbo Board of County Commis sioners , ono momborof the city council and ono of the district judges. The railway ofll- clals objected to such a combination , arguing that the member of the Board ot County Commissioners and the member of the city council would bo Interested parties. Such being the case it would have a tendency to defeat the sale of the company's bonds , as would-be purchasers -would have an idea that tbo roaa was tied hand and foot. The commissioners looked at the matter In the same llgnt after at was thoroughly oxnlained. Then an amendment was adopted , by which the board of arbitration Is to consist of three members and bo composed of three of the Judges of the district court. Tbo proposition to incorporate In the con tract a eluuso that thornllwav company could not sell anv portion of its reid without the consent of the Board of County Commission ers was defeated. Tlioto IVilural Indictments. Advices from Topeka are to the effect that ha federal grand Jury has found indictments against C. S. Mellon , late traffic manager of bo Union I'acitic , J. A. Munroe , general roight agent ; B. Camnbell nnd J. G. Wood- ivorlh , assistants at Portland , and W. S. Jurr , agdnt nt Sallna , Kan. They are charged with violating the Interstate com merce act. Mr. Munroa when interviewed yesterday said ho had no moro definite information than ivas published In the morning papers. His un- dortitandin ? , however , U that the charges crow out of the light between the interior obbers nnd these on the river. It began with the sngar rate. The railroads had been charging interior points the rate Irom Cali fornia to tbo Missouri river plus tbo local i ate bacK to the Kansas point of destination. The ECansas railroad commission threatened tbo railroads with punishment nnd the river Jobbers got Injunctions restraining certain railroads am1 the commission Tram changing the status nf affairs. The in terior Jobbers also got out an Injunction re straining other lines from advancing rates that had been reduced under threats of tbo commission. The case now is very baHly mixed up. There are said to bo seven counts against .ho olllclals , but tbo .specific cbargca are not known outbido the Jury , which was not to ra- turn its bills until tbix evening , Union I'liclllc CliiiiiRrs. The annual mooting of the stocknoldors of the Union Pacific railway will bo hold In Boston at 10 o'clock this morning , If and Its results will determine ) the future manage ment of the road. At headquarters in this city It Is conceded that Gould and Sago nro the under dogs in the contest and that there will be u chuugo. It is accepted as deter mined that Captain R. S. Hayes will bo chosen presided aud that General Manager Clark has dcclacd to remain with the Mis souri Pacitlc. Thn latter , if report , bo true , has even gouo so far as to tender his resignation in order to relieve the now bo.ird of directors from embarrassment. This has started speculation as to his suc cessor , aud naturally rumor llxot upon As sistant Gojeral Manager Edward Dickoiihon as the iiltost man for tbo place. It Is also believed In railway circles that General Frolcht Agent Monroe will Da made traffic manager and that the present operating force will ho retained. Tlio directors , who will bo elected at the 10 o'clock mottlm ? , will probably orgunlzo to morrow , and President Kimball of the Union Depot company thinks they will glva the proposed depot compromise a speedy consid eration. .ViitiM uml PursoimU.

Mr. Paddock bad a man picked out who was a dyod-in-thc-wool Jncusoman , u Mr. Potter of South Omaha.
