the strcot which is moro or less obstructed
by the holes excavated for the foundation o
the viaduct piers. His horse shied at ono of
the holes , which was surrounded by a light
board fence , nnd in doing so tumbled head
long Into another hole , directly opposite.
Mr. Edwoll sprang from the carriage , but
Ills wife and children were thrown into the

ened nnlmal plunged fearfully , breaking the
buggy Into splinters. Almost by a miracle ,
Mrs. Edwcll and the children were unin
jured. There were several foot of water In
the pit , and it was a wonder that the
children were not drowned. After consid
erable dtfllculty they were taken from the
hole nnd thu horse removed comparatively
uninjured. The buggy is a total wreck.

A 13-yo.ir-old colored girl working for the
i f family of C. M. Jacques , living at the corner
* " * of Fourtocntn nnd H streets. Is thanking
her lucky star that she Is alive today , oven
if she is considerably disfigured. She is i\
domestic In the employ of Mr. Jacques and
nt night sleeps in the third story of the
houso. She went to bed last night us usual ,
but along about 3 o'clock this morning she
started on a somnambulistic tour of the
upper story and before she woke up she
walked out of the third story window. She
struck the stpno walk squarely on her head
and It is to this fact that she doubtless owes
lior life. Her front tooth were kpocked out
nnd her face badly cut. The bruises on her
head and shoulders were too numerous to
count , but otherwise she was uninjured.

CHICAGO , Aug. 33. [ Special Telegram to
THE IlKE. ] A dark cloud has made an ap-
pcaranco on the horizon of the Western
Passenger association which forbodos a
storm of unusual severity. The Unfon Pacific
threatens to demolish tha association If the
latter does not consent to treat It Inn morp
fraternal spirit than has boon the cuso
lately.
For some tlmo past a row has boon In
progress between the transcontinental lines
and to meet the action of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads the Union Pacific
found It necessary , for the protection ot Its
Interests to rcduco the rate on passenger
business from the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast to $33 first class and $19 second
class. It offered those rates as basing rates
to the lines In the association east of the
Missouri river ; or in ether words , It wanted
these lines to use these reduced rates In con
nectton with the rates east of the Missouri
and pro rata the same on the regular basis.
Hcfiuctl the Itequcnt.
The lines cast of the Missouri , however ,
felt disinclined to comply with the Union
Pacific's request and refused to use the
reduced rates as basing rates. Bv
this action they realty compel the
publto to pay a higher rate ttirough
than the Union Pacific wants and
places the latter In a rosltlon of an outsider
although It is a member of the Western
Passenger association.Vlion the Union
Pacific Joined the Western Passenger
association It did so with the express under
standing that It would receive the protection
of the association Hues should it got into
trouble with its northern competitors which
are not members of the association. The refusal -
fusal to do so now by the association lines
cast , of the Missouri river has put the Union
Pacific ofllcials in a towering passion and as
soon us they learned that their request for
using the reduced rates west of the river as
basing rates had boon refused they sent the
following telegram to the chairman of the
association :
Explanations Demanded.
"Under article vill of the agreement ,
what explanation have association lines to
make to this company for refusing to use Si1 ;
first class and $18 second class rates from the
Missouri river ? As wo understand this
article , the refusal of the association lines to
give relief disrupts the association. There
is uo agreement in effect today. One article
out , all out , because wo shall Insist upon the
use of these rates and no member can deprive -
privo us of this right without disruption of
the whole agreement. "
Chairman Caldwell sent a pacifying reoly
to the Union Pacific , taking the position
that the association lines cast of the Mis
souri river wore justified In taking the action
they did in order to prevent a rate war. The
Union Pacific's answer WHS that the first
thrco lines of article vill protect its rates ana
it is not within the power of the association
as an association to Ignore the Union Pacific.
NoUco was subsequently given by the
Union Pacific that it would transfer passen
gers and baggage free from the depots of its
connections to ita own. It was informed
that such action would bo a clear violation
of the agreement , but the Union Pacific
takes tbo position that the agreomeut was
broken by its eastern connections and that
it is , therefore , at liberty to do as it pleases.
HOW OVKK KATES.
Chances for a Lively Fight In tlio Western
I'usHonicor Association.
CHICAGO , Aug. 23. The regular row over
Grand Army rates has broken out ana there
Is a strong possibility that the result may bo
something akin to demoralization before
everything is peaceful again. The Rock
Island today made a complaint against the
Chicago Great Western , accusing it of
paying commissions of 10 per cent , besides
agreeing to grant free transportation to the
various committees which are arranging for
the trip to Indianapolis. Both roads' denied
the accusation. Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger association investigated
the matter and declared that no could find
no cause for the complaint. The matter was
dropped for the time being. The Hock Island
will return to the nharga In a short time ,
however , as it declares that its complaint
was well founded.
Tbo Western Passenger association today
made a change in extension tickets to bo
sold for the Indianapolis encampment. The
tickets will no-v bo sold for Indianapolis
from August 80 to September 4 , being good
for iroinij on September 2 , 3 and 4. This will
give such members of the Grand Army as
come through Chicago two daya nioro in
which to see the fair.
A proposition has boon submitted to make
n one-faro rate for August 80 for Missouri
day at the fair. The tickets will bo sold
August 2'J and bo good for returning until
September 4.
May Succutiil Doililrldffo.
Missouri Pacific circles wore considerably
surprised yesterday morning to read in the St.
Louis dispatches that ex-Assistant General
Manager George C. Smith had boon sum-
inoned to Now Yorlc by George Gould.
A largely signed petition of St. Louis busi
ness raon asking for the appointment of Mr.
Smith as general manager of the road was
forwarded to Mr. Gould some time ago and
, it Is thought the call inado upon Mr. Smith
is duo to the receipt of this petition.
Mr. Doddridgo , general manager of the
Missouri Pacific , does not scorn to give the
satisfaction in the conduct of affairs as Mr.
Smith , and In consequence thcro are these
who would I iko to see tha present general
manager removed. Mr. Smith was exceed
ingly popular with his men , and was led to
expect the appointment of general manauor
on the reorganization of the roud. But full
ing in this ho resigned and has since been
out of the railway service.
It is significant that Mr , Doddridgo should
not know of this movement to sot him aside
oxccpt as ho 1ms learned it through the
press. At least a friend of Mr. Ooddridge'.s
just votunieci from St. Louis , informed a
HUB reporter that ho had an interview with
the general manager last week , in which the
latter stated he know absolutely nothing of
the movement to displace htm. From a source
regarded us authentic it is learned that a
new place will bo created for Mr. Stnitli and
that ho will outer actlvo railroad wort
: shortly.

that they will become patriarchs inlnlatod

It was rumored yesterday morning that tin
Odd Fellows had secured a J5 rate to the fal
from one of tbo railroads hero , to go InU
effect September 2(1 ( , good for thirty days
providing the Odd Follows woula guarantoi
; 1,000 tickets at that rato. Of course this i ;
Is a clear cut and if such a cut is made then

setting given them. Heroin is a fruitful
theme which ha ? boon worked legitimately
and well. William Gillette Is responsible
for the grouping and action of
the characters and his dramatic
instinct is soon at its very best in these his
tory-making times , when Paul Kovero made
his famous ride , down to the surrender of
Cornwallls at York town. But , barring the
no-v features which the owners of the Fore-
paugh show have introduced this year , the
circus is decidedly tame and uninteresting.
The fact Is , 'Omaha was treated
to only a section of the Forepaugh
show this season , the managers hav
ing commenced curtailing over since leaving
Cleveland eight weeks ago. Business has
boon bad and many of tbo big attractions
were missing. Irwln , the great head bal
ancer , gave a difficult exhibition on the
trapeze , George Arstingstall and his herd of
magnificently trained elephants attracted a
great deal of attention , while the bareback
riding was up to the standard , but beyond
this the acts were ordinary. Foropaugh
living , gave to the amusement-loving public
n wealth of fine attractions , but Forepaugn
dead , his show seems to have "gono demo-
cratic. '
