Mr. Lomax , Rcucrnl passenger agent of
the Union Paclilc road , announced } esterday
that Mr. J. N. Drown , his acting assistant ,
had resigned in order to take a much
needed rest on account of 111 health , and
that Mr. C. MaclCenzle , who has been chief
clerk of tlio department for a long time , will

Mr. S. II. II. Clark's Journey to Denver
now turns out to have been a mission to
meet President Mnnvcl of the Santa Fo In
order that some aprcement might bo reached
regarding the exchange of freight business
between his road and the Atchlson. While
nothing definite Is known It is understood
that an agreement was reached between the
two presidents regarding the freight situ
ation. The passenger situation was not dis
cussed at till Mr. Clark was accompanied
to Denver by J. A. Munroc , freight trafllc
manager , S. W. Eccles , assistant general
freight agent at Salt Lake , and D. W
Hitchcock , goner il agent at San Francisco.
From all appe trances the railroads run
ning into Chicago are soon to bo made the
objects of Inrr.issing legislation that will
make life a burden to their ofllccrs. The
people of that city are awakening to a real
isation of the fact that they are in perpetual
danger of being run down and killed or
maimed at ono or other of the numerous
grade crossings. The frequent fatal acci
dents on crossings of late have sot them to
thinking that their turn may conic next ,
and in their anxiety for protection they
seem likely to go to as great an extreme in
the direction of caution as they have in
the past gone in the way of caielcssncss.
In no city in the universe has the slaughter
by railroads ever i cached an\ thing like the
awful proportions seen In Chicago ; but if
half the proposed legislation for tlio protec
tion of llfo is successful In getting on the
statute books , a railroad train will bo ren
dered as harmless as a baby carriage
Among the proposed icmedies aio the follow
ing : All cars to be moved by horse power
within the city limits ; all gates at crossings
to swing across the railroad instead of across
tlio public road ; all trains or locomotives to
be brought to a complete stop 1200 feet from
any crossing which is used by any kind of
street car , and the engineer to assure him
self that all is clear before proceeding. Tlio
object which the lawmakers have iniow is
to force the roads to elevate their tracks
within the city limits.
The lirst road to conio out with a definite
plan for the World's fair passenger rates is
the Atchlson , Tlio plan divides the traflio
Into live classes , based on the time the pas
senger is allowed In Chicago. In the lirst
class thero'will bo a reduction- 10 per cent
on round trip tickets , the tickets being good
for six months /from Uato o sale. In the
second class tha , tickets will bo limited to
thirty days und will be sold .at aieduction
of 20 per ct'nt. The thin ! class carries
with it a reduction of iio per cent , the
tickets being good for only fifteen
Oujs. Fourth and fifth class tickets are to
bo sold only on special days and for special
trains. Fourth-class tickets will be sold atone
ono faro for the round trip , giving such
transit limits as will allow seven days in
Chicago. Fifth-class tickets will bo sold for
a cent u milo of distance traveled and will
give the holder threodajs In Chicago. The
same class of equipment w ill bo used on the
trains for all these classes. To passengers
from the Pacille coast the rate will bo a cent
a mile , and a longer stay than seven days
will bo allowed.
Mr. 13. Li. Lomax , In talking yesterday
about stop-over privileges ( lining the
World's fair , said : "It is much to early to
be thinking of this question , when rates are
still unsettled , but I think that Omaha be
ing the end of a division will have an oppor
tunity to euro for all those who desire to
spend twenty-four or oven forty-eight hours
in the city , as all tickets are generally good
for stop-off at division points , unless they are
limited , and for continuous train service. In
case u one-faro rate is made for the World's
fair I suppose I will have a continuous train
ticket printed , but otherwise I don't pro
pose spending 1,000 or M.OOO for a lot of
World's fair tickets to have to destroy them
on the termination of the fair. However. I
shall do all I can for tlio constituents of the
road , and w herever possible have stop-over
privileges , for cities like Omaha , Kansas
City , Denver , Cheyenne , Ogden , Salt Lake
and Portland have rights which ought to bo
respected. I anticipate thcro will bo several
rates decided upon , and should a one-faro
rate be put In , tiic use of the ticket will have
to bo continuous , but on regular lound-trip
tickets I can see no reason why travelers
should not stop oft at Omaha.

There Were Crowds nt the Continental Fire
Sale.

After weeks of wnltlng tlio lon < ; ox-
> octcd Contineiitnl llro t-ulo opened vos-
ertluy morning. The crowd Unit lined
ho building nior than mot the uxpcctu-
.ions of Manager Samuel ( ! amblo. and
the forty clerks on duty had to be hourly
reinforced , until when the stoio eloped
list night fully liH ) Milosinun were on
luty. All of thorn wore kept buiy. In
tlio children' dopartmpiit there was a
multitude of fond mothers mid their olT-
sprinjjf , and as fast as one customm1 was
satisliod there \\oro many more clamor-
.iitf for attention.
In the mcnV department was iv pushing -
ing , eager crowd demanding Iminodiato
ittention.
Though the management employed
every clerk and every man Millie iontly
gifted intolloetuully to perform the
luties of a clerk who was willing to
work that put in an appearance , still
there were not enough men behind the
counters to attend to the eager hordes
if purchasers. Many men who came to
buy clothing were offered , positions as
salesmen. Anything was bolter than to
keep the crowd waiting. Tlio prices of
everything were plainly marked and
each purchaser could determine the eivt
of the article ho was after with
out asking the clerk. Hut though the
system of .selling was simplified in every
possible manner , the distracted clerks
could not fit all the anxious buyers who
clustered about the counters.
Mr. Loomisof I'Ycolaml , Loomis & Co. ,
owners of the Continental Clothing
house , was present when the great lire
"alo opened. IIo saw the crowd
gather abjiit the various entrances of
tlio big store long before the hour for
opening had arrived and witnessed , with
the zest of ti connoisseur , the
grand rush when the portals
were drawn aside. Ho saw the
bewildering , exciting , purposeful and
eager rush of the multitude of bujers
and saw tlio army of energetic clerks
powerless to meet all demands. Then
there was a consultation with Manager
Gamble. Some means of relieving the
overworked clerks must bo settled upon.
Between the two , after a very short de
liberation , it was decided to pre.ss every
man into service who was willing to
work. Prices were so far reduced that
a man who had no other occupation
could make a garment or two by
his day's work. As the crowd pressed
through the doors , men were offered po
sitions as salesmen , by which they
could earn enough money to pay for what
they came to purchase by ada\'swork ,
or a part thereof. Seine men were so
anxious to get at tlio bargain tables and
see what was there offered that they
llatly refused all offers to work. Very
few men would become clerks. Most of
the visitors to the store bad good jobs ,
and what they were after were bargains ,
and nothing could stop them. They
found bargains and revelled in thorn.
DSoino of the buyers were induced to
sell goods. There was only one price
and a child could soil the mountains of
clothing on the tables at the Continonnl
store.
Even with the increased force .of
clerks the crowd of buyers filled the
store , occupying all the available spaco.
Every where thcro were men and women
and children demanding immediate at
tention. They filled the aiblos , jostled
the clerks and were everywhere in the
big store where standing room could bo
found.
Very soon after the doors were opened
in the morning it was found that some
system must bo adopted to prevent a
' "blockade. " After the store was full the
doors were closed and placards posted
announcing when they would bo opened
again. This was absolutely necessary.
The people inside bought and bought
quickly. 'Tlioro were many , many bar
gains and the customers know bargains
when they s > uw them. Clothing , neck
wear , shirts , collars , cufTs , and every
thing else sold at the Continental were
snapped up in very short order , and
as the crowd outside saw the crowd
emerge from the inside with bulky
packages , the impatience was well nigh
irrepressible. Hour after hour now
crowds were admitted. Hour after hour
crowds departed laden with purchases.
' The fire sale ! " When the wearied ,
per&piring clerks saw the doors cloned
for the night they chorused a deep nigh
of relief. It was , indeed , a hard day's
work.
The public wanted bargains. Bar
gains were found in great profusion , and
snapped up in great confusion.
The stock in the Continental was
turned topsy-turvy. It was uprooted ,
torn up , thrown aside , to accommodate
tlio eager buyers. Clerks had no time
to straighten up stock. It was impossi
ble. Just as soon as they got through
with ono customer they confronted many
others. Manager ( iamblo , when the
hard da 's work was done , sent them all
home.
Monday morning they will straighten
up stock. It will probably not bo before
0 o'clock Ixjforo the doors are opened to
morrow. Plenty of bargains are left
and the early comers at tomorrow's sale
will go away rejoicing.
