Ing the order of the court appointing him
receiver of tha Union I'ucillo company yes
terday when a representative of THE Has
asked him what effect the expected situation
in ' 'Overland" circles would have on Omaha.
"Omahii will not bo affected in a slnglo
dcgroo by the appointment of receiv
ers , " said the recent president of
the company. "Of course the
bill fern receiver is not unexpected , as the
careful student of railroad operation in the
past few mouths must necessarily conclude
after a review of thu startling decrease ingress

have suffered. With the possibility of u de

in thu face thu only thing to he doiio to keep
the property intact was to Illo

as government director , atid who became thor
oughly familiar with thn properties during hid

Sovor.il questions of the greatest impor
tance will now present themselves to at least
thrco great trunk lines , the Northwestern ,
the Milwaukee anil Hock Island , by reason
of their close trafllo arrangeinonts with the
Union Pacillc. In the flrst cnso , the North
western has anluoty-nlup-yearcontractwith
the ' 'Overland , " regarding the transportation
of both passengers and freight to Pad lie
coast points , the close alliance Imvlntr been
accomplished during Charles Frauds Adams'
term as president of the Union 1'aclllc ,
which Is admitted to bo a jug-handled affair ,
largely in favor of the Northwestern.
The use of thu bridges and terminal facili
ties enjoyed by the Milwaukee and Hock
Island en payment of a yo.irlv llxcil rental
will also play no inconsequential part in the
now regime , and there are sover.vl very
anxious general agents in Omaha , who desire -
sire to know just , whatcourso the receivers
will ptirsuo regarding said contracts which
Justice Brewer found to bo advantageous to
both Interests.
Judge Thurston , when asked If the inter
vention of the cour' would affect these con
tracts , said that all contracts would un
doubtedly be continued by the court as long
as their justlco was not questioned by ono
party or the other , and that expediency
would govern in mutters affecting the Iuturo
policy of the system.
' For the present things will run along
the same as heretofore ; but what the future
will bring forth it is not now in our province
to speatt. All contracts affecting traflla
between lines will bo scrutinized
and If hotter arrangements can
bo made , undoubtedly some action will betaken
taken looking toward that end. It is too
early to speak of these matters now , the
details of the transfer of the property not
yet being complete.
"You n.ay say , " continued Mr. Thurston.
"that tlio snmo receivers have been up-
| K > ! utcd by auxiliary procaedlngs In the
federal courts of Kansas and the Southern
district of Now York , the district in which
Now York City is situated. "
SIKIOUS SITUATION.
KITcot of tlio Union l < iciflo ll oHvcrslil [ > on
tlio Western I'nssengor Aftsnulatlnn.
CHICAGO , Oct. 13. The appointment of the
Union Pacillc receivers has proved a serious
embarrassment to the Western Passenger
association , for the reason that the associa
tion has no idea of the way in which
the receivers will regard Ic. As a
rule receivers have been against the
railway associations. Today General
Passenger Agent Lotn.ix of the Union Pacific
announced that tha resolutions passed yes-
tordiiy by the association on the mutter of
basing on cut rates was satisfactory to his
line and would bo accepted. The Union
Pacillc then gave up the request for a change
In the association method of doing business ,
save that It asked tb.it tlio clause of the
agreement reading that when an association
line was forced to meet a comootlve
rate made by a nonassociation Hue
It can do so "with the consent
of the chairman , " "within or without
the association" bochaucred to re.id "within
the association. " This practically lets down
thn b.irs of the association when it comes to
meeting competitors. The request was
granted nud the reading changed. When
Mr. Lomax agreed that the Union Pacific
would remain in the association ho was ig.
norant of the appointment of the receivers.
Later , when the information came , ho said
ho was unublo to promise anything , as ho
was without instructions and could not toll
what the wishes of the receivers would bo.
The Ohio nvor lines are accusing the
Pennsylvania of Hooding the market \\ith
tickets reading from Chicago to Cincinnati.
Thn tickets , moreover , are said to be good
for twenty , Instead of ton days , as the agree
ment provides. The Pennsylvania's com
petitors declare it has been guilty of a gross
breach of the agreement , and will have the
matter investigated ,

Dnsvcn , Oct. 13. The appointment of re-
celvors for the Union P.icllia railway today
created considerable Interest hero , as it was
entirely unexpected. The attorneys for the
company , Messrs. Teller , Orahood ft Mor
gan , refused to say a word upon the subject ,
nnd It was evident that Iho action of the
Omaha court w.is as great a surprise to
them as any one else.
Kx'Covunior John Uvans , who , as a holder
of * rf.0,0ud of the stock of the Union Paeiilo ,
Texas & fiulf road , recently brought
suit against tlto Union Pjrlllo for an account
ing and the Appointment of a receiver , is at
present In Cnicago. Ili.i attorney In this
case , Judge \Vells , this afternoon said : "Tho
apjiolutmoutof Messrs. Clark and Ellery
Anderson will In no way complicate our casa.
Our application was a prior one to this and
onu > .o which Mr. Ames was u party in suit.
Judge Hallett of thu United States court
can , when our case comes up for hearing in
December , go utiu.id and appoint a receiver
without any reference to tlicsa appointed to
day and ignore them entirely. This matter
has boon decided by former decisions , but
whether or not wo will demand such action
I cannot now say. "

Trouble Over \Vliineliiie" Indian Lands All-
JunttMt III thu riulorul Court.
Judge Diindv granted an oraer yesterday
restraining William II. Bcckdcfendantfrom
nterferiiii ; with the Flournoy Llvo Htocic
and Heal Estate company , complainants in
an action now pending ir. the United States
circuit court.
The Flournoy Live Stock and Real Estate
company is a corporation having Its prin
cipal place'of business In Ponder , Thurston
county. Neb.
This is the case where the ahovo corpora
tion loused ! iO,000 ucrcs of the lands belong
ing to thu Wlnnob.igo Indians , paying an an
nual rental of from 10 cents to jJ. The land
Is the most fertile of the Winuobago reser
vation allotted by the covcrument in ISO. ) ,
and borders on the Missouri river. The lease
with the Indians covers a period of 11 vo
years and about half of the tlmo has ex
pired. The 'ompunv leasmg the land claim
to have pl'icud $100,000 worth of improve
ments thereon.
Now comes \ \ illlnm II. Beclc , who styles
himself us "actlns Indian agent for the
Wlnnebago agency , " claiming an exclusive
rieht over all the real estate iti the agency.
Beck claims that the Flournoy Llvo Stock
and Heal Kstato company are trespassers
and that ho will take stops to forcibly eject
them. They prayed that the court prevent
the said Beolt from carrying out his threats ,
claiming that ho had made false representa
tions and has no right for any notion in the
matter whatever. Accordingly the judge
Issued a temporary restraining ordor.
HUNT AND
Appointed I'ermuiimit Ileonlven of the
American \Vatonvnrk * Cniupuiiy.
Upon the application of the Farmers Loan
.t Trust company of Now York , the petition
for the removal of K , Ily do Uust as re
ceiver of the Awerlcan Waterworks company
was yesterday morning passed upon by Judge
Dumiy , who issued an order appointing Kills
U lllurbownr and Alonzo 11 , Hunt as perma
nent receivers.
When seen yesterday afternoon and nskod
abouthUappointtncntjMr.IIuntsald : "I have
only just auo" the order of the court , and
know very llttlo about the matter , except
that Mr. fhurbowcr and m.ysolf have
been appointed receivers. What the ef
fect of the action of the court on
suits now pending will be I cannot say. but
it will probably ijulet matter * for awhllo.
There U no telling wh it may turn up ,
ttiouch. The Farmers Ix > an it Trust com
pany is a heavy holder of the company's '
bonns , and the action taken by the court litho
the result of a complaint lUod inonulty by

Cinotoo , Oct. 13. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BEE. ] As a result of a chance meeting
yesterday between Major Burke of the Wild
West how and Superintendent Daniels of
the Waifs Mission , 1,050 waifs will see the
World's fair.
Major Burke and a- friend , Dr. Allison
Nailor of Washington , met Captain Daniels ,
and the big-hearted major greeted the boyi1
friend with the question :
"How uro you getting on about gottlntr the
children Into the fair ? "
"Just in the same old way , " replied the
superintendent. "So fnr as I can see tha
only way the children can have a look at the
fair is too see us much us they can see from
outside the fair , and walk there to do it. "
"Why. I am surprised at that , " said Ujo
major. ' 'I understood that the board of di
rectors had made a 10-cont rate for all the
children. Didn't tlioy include the waift , or
was that rate only intended for the nlco ,
clean , well-dressed nnd well-washed little
boys and girls ? "
"Oh , it Included the waifs all right. " said
the superintendent , "the only trouble is that
they did nit give them thu 10 cents. "
"That's u shame , " Bald the major , and ho
qualified the noun with an adjective that
does not look pretty In print. "I tell you
what.you can do , " he continued. "Yousond
1.000 waifs to the fair and call on Buffalo
Bill and Nate Salisbury for the money.
Thcso liu e gentlemen of yours are poor , but
ttioy know now to behave themselves , and It
is nu outr.igo that thih- poverty bars them
from seeing what ovcxv child In this broad
land should see. Spud your 1000 wnlf >
along und thu Wild Wo3t will foot the bill. "
"I want to ho In thK too , " chimed in Dr.
Nailor. "I am a stranger In this city , but I
tmvo been u boy mys it. You got in fifty
moro waifs and hero'g the money to pay for
them. "

LINCOLN , Oct. 18. [ Special to Tun BEB. ]
A. S. Walker , a lineman in thu employ of the
Western Union Telegraph company at thU
place , had an experience- morning which
nearly cost him his life. In company with
another lineman by the name of Ed Wilson
: io was engaged In a net work of wires on a
polo at Thirteenth nnd O streets. It hap
pened that the wires which support the
trolley wire of the street railway system
wore not properly insulated and every tlmo
a car passed the guy wire would rattle
up against the telegraph wires. While
Walker was engaged at his work the wire
became crossed with the heavily charged
olectrio wires and one of them happened to
bo laying across his face. Ho received a
terrible shock. Uo could not loosen Wmself
from the wires caused by the powerful cur
rent and was hold In this position for several
minutes. By this time the eloctrlc fluid had
burned through the telegraph wire , thus
breaking thu current and releasing W.illcer
from his most painful and dango.'ou s posi
tion. Ills sufferings during the short period
wore something terrible and his narrow
escape from being electrocuted was nothing
short of a miracle.
