( Itnornuient Not Nutlllrd.
, U U further alleged that at the time of the
IV- filing of the bill of complaint the Union Pa-
ciflo company was governed by its board of
directors , Its president , S. H. H. Clark , bo- ,
lug principally charged with the duty of.
operating the road , and * its second

principal financial onlcer , and that at tills

and that tucso four gentlemen were i'lti
the ntato of Virginia , said K.
Ellcry Andersen of the state of Now York.
John W. Doano of thostato of Illinois and
Joseph W. Paddock of the stale of Nebraska ;
that said bill was filed without any notice to
or the knowledge of any oniccr of the United
States , or of xny of the said government di
rectors , although said Paddock resides in
the city of Omaha , In the state of Nebraska ,
whore said bill was filed ; that no notice was
given to any other director of said

those who co-operated In filing the same ;
thnt no meeting of the board of directors
was hold nnd no action \vas taken or had by
the board of directors In anticipation of or

lory Anderson , who had been a member ot
said commission , and was nt the time a
government director , wore appointed as re
ceivers , all without consultation with and
without notice to said Anderson until after
his appointment.
Muro Iti-cclTor * . Nciidoil.
The attorney general then expresses his
opinion thnt tbo protection of the interests
of the United States and of all other cred
itors of the Union Pacific requires an In-
ctcaso in Iho number of receivers already
npixiintoil , the present number being Insuf-
ilcicnt for the performance of the great and
serious duties Imposed upon them and will
not insplro that public confidence that n
larger number would secure : thai the lion
of the United Slates is by far the largest
held by any single person or corporation and
calls for the protection of Impartial receivers
selected for that purjioso , and their associa
tion with the receivers who have been nom
inated anil whoso views and interests ( ex
cept of Anderson ) are In unison with these
of the complainants.
It is ullego.l that the llryt mortgage upon
the property to which the lien of the United
States was expressly subordinated by the
not of 1801 Is nmp'.y secured and that the
railroad company and the receivers acting
for it will have no difllcttlty in providing for
payment of interest thereon out ot tlio earn
ings of the railways and telegraph lines ,
nud that if tbo property embraced in said
mortgage bo exposed to sale the same will
realize more limn enough to pav said Hen ;
that thu nature and extent of the lion of the
United Slates is-the subject of conlrovcrty ,
especially as respects the nature and extent
of the property covered by It , and lhat the
reorganization of the railways Is necessary
for its protection and to save tn the people
of the United States as larzon poi-tionof the
great sum Involved ns possible ; that it is a
mailer of grave doubt how far contracts
made by said railway companies in the p-ist
for connections and oranches and how far
the guarantees of the rent of leased and con-
ncctings lines are in law valid , and , if valid ,
whether the continuance in existence of
some of them as againsl other and conflict
ing liens , and cspcciallv as against the
superior Hens of the United States , is wise
and desirable ; lhat it may prove to bo Iho
fact thnt some of said agreements
nnd conlracts arc valid and val
uable , and that their contin
uance will benefit the property and enhance
the value of Iho lien of tlio Untied Stales ,
'while oilicrs may bo shown to bo detri
mental , nnd ought to bo terminated at the
earliest possible data ; that the entire time
of at least ono of the receivers must nec
essarily bo given to the operation of tbo
road-and of another to-its financial accounts
and adjustments , and that , without an en
largement of tbo number of receivers , the
information and udvico and cfltclent service
to which the United States and all other
creditors are entitled cannot rcasonaoly be
looked for.
Income of the Koad.
And the attorney general for the United
Stales further represents to Iho court thut
the income of tlio property confided to the
control of receivers herein amounted from
the operation of the lines of railroad of the
Union Pacific railway company ulono , during
the year IStKJ , to moro than § 30,000,000
und the inctiiiio of the said leased
brunch and connecting lines during the your
181)2 ) amounted to the addilional sum of
moro than $23,000,000 : thnt the personal
property owned by said consolidated com
pany , and by said branch , leased and con-
nectinc railroads , ia the form of equipment ,
choscs in action , etc. , is of very gruat value ;
that the valuo' and extent of the property
embraced in tha said trust craatc.1 in favor
of Drexcl , Morgan & Co. us trustees
of the said indenture of Scptcm-
, ber 4. 18'Jl , and the amount of the debts secured -
cured thereby , as shown by the bill of com
plaint tiled in this cause , nro very great , und
the interests of the United States in the
preservation , care and proper application of
such fncomo. personal property and choses
in action , and in the repair und maintenance
of said railway ai-n very great , and are liable
to bo seriously impaired and diminished by
and In the course of the administration o'f
said receivership. If tho'sumo should not bo
providently and wisely conducted.
Wnnrefore , and to the end that th < 3 said
properly may , pending Iho foreclosure and
sale or reorganization , bo managed to the
host interests of Iho United States of
America , as well as of other creditors and
stockholders , and lo thu end thai the best
advice and Judgment accessible to the court
may not only bo had in its operation , but as
to the continuance of existing contracts ,
which by reason of the said re
ceivership may rcqniro for thuir
enforcement judicial aid , und ns
to the true principles and methods of reor
ganization , and for the protection of all in
terests in the property , the utlorncy general
for the United States respectfully requests
the court lo appoint two receivers , in addi
tion to , but with with equal powers to thosn
already heretofore appointed , who shall as
sist the three receivers now In oillcc in per
forming Ihoir grave und responsible duties ,
and the attorney , general prays for such
other und further relict ns under the fore

Union I'iK-lllc OlllcInU I'rrpirml : for tlio Ap
pointment of < \ < ldltloiml IlticolvorH ,
The appointment of additional receivers
for the Union Pacific was the only thing
talked about at headquarters ycstordny ,
Iho ofllclals accepting Die turn affairs had
taken with becoming grace , but secretly
wondering what next would make its ap
pearance on the curput lo fret und worry
them.
By the now arrangement the law depart-
nient is overrun with business , the clerks
boln ; kept at work long after working hours
making now orders , stipulations und other
legalpuprrs to cover all the phases of iho
situation.
All the rubber stumps that have boon
provided for the hundreds of people who
use that cecessury adjunct to their business
will have to bo changed by the addition of
a story attachment , and the suggestion was
made that anew oftlco , that of superinten
dent of rubber stamps , bo created to meet
the demands for that Instrument.
The- appointment of Messrs. Doano and
Coudcrt will not in any wls.o change the ex
isting condition of affairs at headquarters ,
Mr. Clark continuing in charge of llio oper
ating department of tlio system , assisted by
General Manager Dickinson , while Mr ,
Mink will huvo.as now. charge of the audit-
In ? department.
Mr. Clark was at his ofllca qulto early yes.
tcrduy und nt once begun to clear his desk
of Iho business which had accumulated dur
ing his absence. But when it came to an
interview Mr. Clark had nothing to say for
publication , stating that all had been said
that could bo said regarding tbo appoint
ment of additional receivers ,
The appointment , it was learned from
competent authority , was an umicablo ar-
rangomcnl , thu receivers being willing to
enter into any agreement that would pro
tect the interests ot the government und
bondholders nt the sumo time. The
action of iho court Ihls morning insures
a continuance of the sumo wise policy thai
has horetotore , oblalned in the management
of the road , which wll } bo good news to the
thousands of employes who have served
under Mr. Clark for years.

DBNVKII , Colo. , Nov. Ul. Trial of the case
of John Evans and others , stockholders ot
the Denver , Pacific & Gulf railway , was to
have , been begun before Judgn Htillott in the
United States circuit court thU morning ,
but it was postponed by Judge Hallctt for
ono week because of the intervention of the
government. There wai an array of eminent
Irgal talent when court opened. The
plaintiffs were rcpro.tcntcd by M. F. Taylor
of Wells , Taylor & Taylor , Charles J.
Hughes , J. M , Wells und It. W. Bnuyngo us
counsel. The Union Pacific was represented
by the general counsel of the road , .1. M.
Tlun-stoii of Omaha and Wlllard Teller of
this city. Mr. Vuilo of Wolcott & Vallc ap
peared for iho United Stales attorney gen
eral in behalf of the government.
The suit is brought by ex-Governor Evans
and the other stockholders of the road la
compel maintenance and operation of the
road entirely separate from Ihe Union Pa-
clllo system and , Incidentally , for the ap
pointment of receivers for that.ptirposo.
When the casu came up today for-trial
Mr. Vallo asked fora hearing in the mailer
and llien presented a petitipu for United
States Attorney Oencial Olnoy in behalf of
iho government that the case bo further
postponed , for sever-1 days at least. The
appointment at Omaha of two additional
receivers of the Union P iclfic lo act in be
half ot iho government , ho sala , made it
necessary that the government should bo
represented in this case and time < vas
wanted by the attorney general in which to
decide upon what attitude to assume In
order to best protect the inlcreal of Iho
government.
The counsel for the plaintiff opposed the
postponement , because the government
already had sufllclent time to prepare Its
case , nnd also because , the defendant could
Imvo no possible interest in this' case , except
ing such as could bo properly protected by
Iho proceedings at Omaha , and these inter
ests demanded that the Denver. .Pacific &
Gulf railway should bo operated Independent
of Die Union Pucitlc.
Judge Hallett ruled that the government
should bo properly represented in. the suit
and so should have time to prepare for it.
IIo therefore postponed tho'Cuso unlil next
Monday.
Mr. Valle , for the covcrnment , then pre
sented a petition for the appointment of two
receives ) hero in addition to those , in the
cast.
Judge Ilallott granted the petition and ap
pointed , ) . W. Donne , a prominent merchant
of Chicago , and F. H. Coudr.rt. u lawyer of

though no deaths have yet been reported.
It is feared other mom bora were burned.
The Ilro lii-oKo out in front of Sdmmlzrcld's

and ran up the stairs , in n few minutes
attention was attracted by cries from the
third story in the roar of the building , which
was occupied by the Young Men's Christian

The confusion was such that nothingcould

these , augmented by thousands of others ,
made it nearly impassible to approach the

Had the Board ot Education not been
tnxlousto adjourn last night , after bohiR
tept lute by canvassing election returns , it
is likely that Samuel Macleod , superintend
ent of buildings , would have gone homo In
an unhapplcr frame of mind.
For a Ions time there have been com
plaints of oxtravnganco In the department
of which ho has charge tind the loose way in
which ho has Kept his accounts
1ms created much dissatisfaction among
members of the board. It was also bus-
peeled thnt ho had not been handling the
| trot.erty In Ids hands with tlio care that the
law requires. , Tills led to n quint , though
not thorough , tnvosttiration of the affairs of
his olllco by several mombcM of the board ,
and ni n conference ot n majority of the
members had yesterday It was con
cluded that enough ovl'.lcnco ' of gross
ncgllgenco both In the receiving of account ! *
atid the care ot properly was at hand ID
warrant asking for MnclooiPs resignation.
Ono of the member * had on bin iU sk last
nlirht a resolution calling on the superin
tendent of buildings to stop down and out
Immediately.
In case Mr. Mncleod were unwilling to do
this another resolution was in writing de
claring htm suspomlcd , penning a thorough
investigation of Ins administration.
"Those resolutions were not submitted
tonight , ns you Bee , " said ono of the mem
bers after adjournment , "but tliov are com
ing , and coming soon , it is likely now that
a further examination will bo miulodurlti. "
the coming week , and from what we already
know , 1 have no doubt that the necessity fo'r
the contemplated action will become'still
more apparent. "
Saul another member : "I am not prepared
now to say anything rcllectlng on .Mr. Mao-
leod's Integrity , but I do say tlmt ho has
aono business very loosely and carelessly
and has been guilt : , of doing many foolish
things and of builhcndcd conduct. I
strongly support any action looking toward
an investigation. "
Still another member said that at the
next meeting spccillii charges would bo pre
ferred. The complaints , though yet some
what tndollnltc , are in substnnca that the
building superintendent keeps no accounts
except for labor ami Is , therefore , unpre
pared vo vouch for bills sent in for lumber
and other supplies furnished , and that ho
has not properly aecounto-.l for certain prop
erty removed from school buildings bccauso
worn out or unnucded.
Tim chief feature of the meeting of the
Board of Education last night was tin-ran-
vasslng of the returns of th'j election fo ) . '

that of the fifteen candidates the live electcii
