SCENE COMBINING PATHOS AND CHIVALRY Yesterday's Session of the Federal Court Had the Interest of a Drama. " ' _ PROBING INTO UNION PACIFIC AFFAIRS llcin'li I'ntH aiiiny QncnUon * to KrceheiV nnd UlllvIulV Hrn o of rulnirxH Tt-Htl- inony of M < ' rH. Dlelilnson , . Mink nnd McConnell , Dramatic Incidents are very rare In courts of equity , but there was a scene In the cir cuit court of the United States yesterday , with Judges Caldwell and Illncr on the bench , that Is without a parallel In the judicial history of the country. The wage hearing had dragged Its weary length along until Mr. llecelver Mink was called by Judge Thurston to state something about the finances of the great system. Then there was a noticeable Interest shown on the part of everybody In the court room , for finances have a fascination for almost everyone ono , particularly when they deal with the history of so great a corporation as the Union Pacific. The manner of floating bonds , the shrink ages In value , fixed charges and a hundred other things , which , until now , have been closely guarded , came to the surface through the ability of Judge Caldwell as a cross- examiner. The Judicial mind was In Its element , and , as Mr. Mink was a willing witness , much new matter rela tive to the "Overland" system and Its man ner of financial management came out. Grasping all the big problems with ease , Judge Caldwell drew from Mr. Mink many statements that a score of newspaper re porters could not have gotten through the most merciless questioning. It was the court , however , who had Mr. Mink on the spit , which was a horse of another color. When the court concluded the examination v- "of Mr. Mink , Mr. Thurston called Presi dent Clark to the stand. There was weak ness written all over the venerable presi dent's features. His eyes were glared and the long siege over the great problem with vhlch lie has been wrestling told Its own story. - * COURT'S TRIDUTRS TO MR. CLARK. As he stood up to take the oath. Judge Caldwell , with a movement of his arm , in- dlcatcd to Marshal White not to administer the customary oath and Mr. Clark took his seat. ' To many the movement was not noticed , b'ut to tfiose who saw the manner in which Judge Caldwell deferred to the word of Mr. Clark without putting him on his oath was as beautiful a tribute to the sterling. Integrity cf a man as ever was paid by so august a tribunal , a compli ment as line us It was well deserved. Only ono or two questions wcro asked Mr. Clark by Mr. Thurston , nnd their answers , whllo Clear and explicit , showed the weakness of the witness. Just as ho was about to leave the stand , and whllo In the act of apologizing to the court for his Inability to speak clearly. Judge Caldwell , turning to President Clark , said : "The court peremptorily orders you , Mr. Clark , to take a rest of four or flvo months. You must bo prohibited from committing Biilclclo In the management of this great property. The company cannot spare you ; neither can the country. You will therefore take a rest , which Is to commence at once. Wo will bo able to manage the property at this end of the line. The court's orders are peremptory. " Mr. Clark , visibly affected by the graceful compliment , thanked the court In warm words , then rising to his full height , turning to thu court room , he said : "And with these men here assembled I can only hope that I have the confidence as well as the friendship of these men with whom I have been as sociated these many years. " And he walked out of thu court room , undoubtedly the hap piest man In Omaha. The labor of his life had received judicial recognition. OPENING OF THE CASE. Near the bench sat the lights of the Union Pacific , marshaled by President S. ] { . H. Clark. Near him sat Gen eral Manager Dickinson , J. H. McCon nell , superintendent of motive power and machinery ; E. Diicklnglmm , superintendent of car service ; P. J. Nichols , superintendent of the Nebraska division. Mr. Receiver Mink was also present. By Ills side sat llecelver John W. Doano ot Chicago. The legal forces of the Union Pacific were headed by John M. Thurston , W. R. Kelly und Attorney Vandoventer of Cheyenne. Arrayed about the long table and In- uide the space reserved for the bar there was quite as notable a gathering of officials , in sonio respects even more notable than the representatives of the Union Pacific. At the head of this delegation was the grand chief of the Drotherhood of Locomotive En gineers , P. M. Arthur , whoso kindly , oven fatherly face gave a conservative appear ance to the hearing , In direct contrast with the sharp , shrewd look ot Attorney Hodgca , who represents the engineers , assisted * by the alfalfa statesman , T. Fulton Gantt , of North Platto. Grand Chief F. R. Sargent of the Drotherhood ot Locomotive Firemen was an Interested spectator , close cropped red mustache and a face Indicative of gr.hu de termination , a fighter ono would say If hastily asked his strongest characteristic. Flanking him on the loft was Attorney Har per "with paunch well rounded , " while on Ida right sat the chairman of the firemen of the Union Pacific , C. A. M. Petrle , a fireman without frills , a quick , forceful talker , who ls regarded by the officials of the Union Pacific as ono ot ( the able men In the service of the company. Grand Chief Clark ot the Order of Railway Conductors was also an Interesting figure In the court. George W , Vromun , chairman ot the grievance committee of the brotherhood of engineers , who has had aspirations for a number of years to succeed the conservative Grand Chief P , M. Arthur , sat at the head ot the long table and as ho la to represent the engineers In opposition to Superin tendent McConnell ho was a most attentive listener , and by no means a dim light In this galaxy of labor leaders. These were the line formations In the opening contest between the forces ot labor mul capital , whllo throughout the large rooms the representatives of thu various arms of the ncrvlco wore gathered , dressed In their "best Sunday clothes , " washed up for the occasion , with hair glossy from bar Boup , and faces Unit showed how deeply these men realized the principles ut stake. THE ENGINEERS' SCHEDULES. Preliminary to the hearing of the case Mr. Thumton submitted to thu court the old schedule ) ] of the engineers and firemen , those proposed In. the Dundy order , and those submitted by the men , and In addi tion a map of the Union Pacific system \ und principal competing lines. Mi * . Hodges stated that the now schedules of the men wcro presented by them at tlio Instance of Mr , Clark beoJinso they were dissatisfied with the receiver * ' icheduloa lid the old oneu were not to bo coculd- cred by Mr. Clark. So far as those rules wcro concerned the men did not prefer to dlftcuss them , as they were familiar with the old rules nnd desired to discuss the case on that basis , and only wished their now rules considered In case the old scliod- iilcR were unsatisfactory. The men did not wind , by adopting any new rules , to wipe out the system of Jurisprudence built up under the old rules or to entail any addi tional expense on the operation of the sys tem by nny new rules. * Mr. Tluirflton stated that the best way to reach results was to go at It as the men and ofilcera did In their conferences , Instead of putting witnesses on In the usual way. The court again stated Ifs position , that the hauls of the hearing would be the eld schedules and the receivers would be com pelled to prove they were unjust or they would Htand. The court suggested that Mr. Clark , If physically able , should be put on the stand nnd explain fully the position of thu company. The court RUggestcd that the number of witnesses would be limited. Judge Duffle presented a petition repre senting the American Railway union , but Judge Caldwell stated the court had one Iron In the flra now and that was enough for the present , and the men who were Interested In the new schedule were the only ones that could be heard now. Mr. Duffle stated that was as far as he wished to be heard. The court then made an order compelling the receiver to hear the parties represented by Mr. Duffio and to report their findings to the court. Mr. Thurston said Mr. Clark was physi cally unable to take the burden of an ex amination and ho would call Mr. Dickinson , general manager ; Mr. McConnell , superin tendent of motive power ; Mr. Hucklngham , superintendent of car service and Mr. Mink In regard to the financial condition of the road. road.Mr. Mr. Thurston stated that It they ever got past rule 1 It would practically settle the whole matter. MR. McCONNELL , ON THE STAND. Mr. J. H. McConnell was called In behalf of the receivers and rule 1 was taken up. The court stated In response to a remark of Mr. Thurston that the court would have no occasion to refer to the new schedule at all. all.Mr. Mr. McConnell stated he had been In the employ of the company since 18G8 , and had been fourv years general foreman of the Omaha shops , for a time was master me chanic at North Plattc , and for the past three years superintendent of motive power on the system , having charge of all en gineers , engines , shops and shopmen. Judge CaliUvo.ll asked the witness to read article I. of the old schedule In force In 1S91 , and Mr. McConnell read as follows : Article ! Hasls of pay : On Nebraska , Kansas. Colorado ( except South Park dis trict ) , Wyoming , Idaho und Utirti divisions , 8-wheel engines , 10-wheel engines , 18-Inch cylinders or less , & 1.S5 per 100 miles. All engines classed as 1,200 , 1,300 , 1,400 , 1,500 and l.SW , $1 per 100 miles. Denver , South Park district , Colorado division : Passenger 110 valley miles $1.00 Freight 83 valley miles 4.00 Passenger 44 mountain miles 4.00 Freight 41 mountain miles 4.00 As per schedule of runs of 18S77 Pacltlc division , S-wheel standard , 10- wheel or mogul engines , $4.30 per 100 miles , mileage allowed ns per schedule of runs , per existing agreement on runs. Consolidation engines ns helpers or work trains , $4.50 ; consolidation engines , when run on through trains , $4.70 per 100 miles. Mileage allowed as per schedule of runs. Mr. McConnell , to place the position of the receivers before the court , read the corresponding spending rule In the proposed schedule. There were 902 loco'motlves on the system Mr. McConnell stated. The now schedule did not affect all classes of. engines , but did the 19x24 and 17x24 cylinder , ten-wheel engines. Of the first class there were 117 and of the latter 193 , a total affected of 310. The rate of pay Is not uniform over the entire system , the Pacific division being the highest. 01 the Wyoming and Colorado divisions the men are allowed excess mileage as follows : From Cheyenne to Ogden , a distance of 514 miles , the men receive pay for C25 miles. On the South Park division the men .receive pay for 100 miles for 44 miles of mountain run , and 100 miles for 85 of valley run. On the Idaho division trom Green river to Huntlngton , for 510 miles the men received pay for COS miles. The excess mileage costs the company per month In Wyoming $5,24C.57 ; Denver , Lcadvllle and Ounnlson $3,843.13 ; Idaho division $2,385.25 ; Utah division $882.70 ; Pacific division $2,211.71 ; Colorado division $470 ; a total of $15,838.38. Aside from the excess mileage a uniform rate of pay on the entire system would save the company $2,210.32 per month. In switching expenses at Omaha and Coun cil Bluffs the average rate of pay on other roads at those points would save the com pany $2,103 per month. COST OF ENGINE SERVICE PER MILE. Mr. McConnell then went Into detail of the comparative cost of engine service per mllo'on the Union Pacific and other roads , which was as given In Mr. Cla.rk'8 report published in The Dee this morning. Tlio mileage cost on the system Is now 9.19 and under the schedule proposed by the receivers It would be 8.60. In 1892 the engine mile age on the Union Pacific was 28.669.472. At this amount of mileage the Southern Pacific would at their rate pay $232,813 less than It cost the Union Pacific ; the Santa Fe , $ : ! 13,089.0S less ; the Missouri Pacific , $414- 9GS.C5 less ; the Missouri , Kansas & Texas , $14GSOC.14 less ; the Louisville & Nashville , X4fiC.43G.44 Ifss : the Chleaeo. Mllwnuken < fc St. Paul , $059.988 less ; the Denver & Rio Grande , $142,101.81 less. Under the schedule proposed by the re ceivers the Union Pacific would pay for the same mileage more than any of the roads mentioned , except the Missouri , Kansas & Texas , as follows : Santa Fe , $143,347.60 ; liurllngton , $533,262.18 ; Northwestern , $435- 775.95 ; Chicago & Alton , $94,609.26 ; and the other roads mentioned In similar proper tion. tion.Most Most roads made a different rate of pay for freight and passenger service , but they wcro all paid on the same mileage basis on the Union Pacific. Mr. McConnell also stated that most roads paid a different rate of pay for men during their first , second and third year of service , after which they received full pay. There U no such distinction on the Union Pacific. INCREASED PAY FOR ENGINEERS. Mr. McConnell stated the rate of pay per mile had Increased on the Union. Pa cific from C.37 In 1SS3 to 9.19 In 1893. This was caused by cxceati mileage , addition of the Pacific division and new rules and schedules. Mr. McConnell stated that In addition to Increasing the rate of pay tlio running time had been so cut down that the pay per hour , of actual service had been greatly Increased. In response to a question Mr. McCon nell stated thu Union Pacific had always been on thu mileage basis. The system of excess mileage had grown up owing to the difficulty tn the early days of getting men to stay In the western country when the conditions wcro not pleasant as a place of residence. In one case they wcro allowed twenty-five miles for running seven , and In one case an engineer earned $288 In one month and had eight hours sleep every day , and made a fuss because ho was not allowed pay for three hours overtime , Mr. McConnell explained why the rate of pay varied for different sized engines as being because the largo ones wcro used whcro there were hills and the work was harder on the engliicinen. Mr , McConnell continuing his direct ex amination said that the rates of piiy on fifteen engines of the 1,600 class was $ l,25 ; sixty engines , 19x21 Inch oyllndqrs , re ceived $4.00 per 100 miles ; fifteen engines , 20x24 Inch cylinders. In the piiBBcnger serv ice and three 20x24 Inch cylinders In freight service , making a total of eighteen engines , wcro the bame an to earning per 100 miles , U la proposed , raid the superintendent , to reduce eighteen 0x21 ten-wheel engines 10 cents per 100 miles , the consolidation , 20x 21 , ten-wheel , 20x21 and eight-wheel en gines of the uunie cylinder size are not affected. The question of curvatures was then taken up , Mr. McConnell Bhowlng the grade * , ele vations , etc. , on the systcin , which of course. Is a vital point In the problem to bo solved. CONDITIONS VASTLY CHANUKD. The superintendent continuing eulcl that the conditions were vastly changed from the old iluya.

TlmrBiliiy'H Socm-n In tint HniiKo In a Measure Itepriitril Yt"itonluy. WASHINGTON , March 30. When Speaker Crisp mounted the rostrum today ho was given a rousing reception from members on both sides of the house , the demonstration lasting fully a minute. The battle of yester day afternoon was promptly renewed by Mr. Reed on a challenge of the correctness of the journal In falling to show Mr. Payne's point of order on the question of but one teller acting. On a rising vote the Journal was approved , and on a call of yeas and nays the previous question was ordered and debate limited to fifteen minutes on each side. After a speech by Mr. Reed , regarding the speakers ruling yesterday , Mr. Heed's motion to amend the Journal was -voted down. The vote , on approving the Journal showed a quorum voting. Mr. Heed's motion to adjourn was de cided out of order , and the' speaker refused to entertain an appeal , and refused testate state the ground of refusal , holding that no member has a right to Inquire ttie grounds of a decision nny more than a law yer has to demand the same thing of a judge on n bench. "That looks very much like tyranny , " remarked Mr. Heed , sarcastically. The next episode was the overruling of Mr. Boutelle's point of order that the presl- dent'H message vetoing the seigniorage bill should not bo read , the house having made the contested election cases the special order. Again the speaker refused to entertain nn appeal. The veto message was then read. Mr. Bland gave notice that next Tuesday he would move to pass the bill over the .veto. During the roll call on Mr. Burrows' mo tion to reconsider the vote by which the house had declared Mr. Joy not entitled to his seat , Mr. Heed , standing t\ear \ the clerk's desk , said he would like to be per mitted to see the roll call taken. This was resented by the speaker , who Hharplv ordered Mr. Heed to his seat and directed the sergeant-at-arms to enforce order , us Mr. Heed did not move fast enough to suit him. "This Is entirely unnecessary , " sold Mr. Reed , looking the speaker In the eye. "It is not , " replied the speaker. "Instead of taking your scat you respond every time. " "Certainly I do. because the chair has attacked me , " said Mr. Heed , now thor- ouKhly aroused. There seemed to bo nn element of per sonal hostility In the clash between the two house leaders. Later on the speaker protested that he had not understood Mr. Heed to prefer a request for permission to stand by the clerk's desk , and with this semt-npologetlo explanation the Incident closed. The roll cull now disclosed the lack of a quorum and the house took a recess until 8 o'clock. TIM IIKAI.Y ix man flcinotcil from the Frrcninn'ft Journal Hoard Ho Quits tint Kooni In Anger. DUBLIN , March 30. There were further disorderly scenes at the adjourned meeting cf the directors of the Freeman's Journal. After a hot passugc-at-arms the annual re port was adopted. A motion was then made to substitute John McDonald for Timothy Healy as a member of the board. Mr. Healy demanded to know why ho was being ills- placed. The meeting was In an uproar and such epithets as "thundering blackguard" were exchanged. When Thomas Sexton arose to make an explanation of his own position , the excitement was aggravated. For a long time the situation was very threatening. When order was somewhat re stored John Dillon declared that If ho was ousted from the board ho would not appeal to the country as Mr. Healy had threat ened to do , but would still do his best for the company. The motion to remove Mr. IIonly was then carried by a small majority. Mr. Healy In high dudgeon quitted the room followed by a dozun of young priests. A vote was then taken and carried on the motion to replace Mr. Dillon by Mr. Mooney. Friends of Mr. Healy demanded that a neil bo taken on the question of removing him and the result was the casting of the votes' of 12,000 shares of stock for his successor against t,000 ! for Mr. Healy. f.lbontlH Itelnlu the Sent.

Mrs. McClel land Lion n , formerly of Wcsleyan collega , this city , while Mlsa1 Pollard was a pupil , expresses her Indignation at Hosclle's testi mony In the case In 'tho following letter to the general public : CINCINNATI , March 2S.-I rend with considerable surprise- and contempt the testimony of Franklin L. Ilosolle. The statements nru so utterly false and far from the truth that It Is duo to the good name of old Wesleynn that I state the facts. It is not tnle that he Introduced Miss Pollard to the college. She was brought here by Mr. Hhodes. Ills state ment that he called a number of times each week during Miss Pollard's stay Is absolutely false. Not a great while after Miss Pollard entered he called several times , but never at , nny other time thun Friday evening , from 8 to 10 o'clock , dur ing general reception hours In the public " parlor. It was the understood duty of teachers to constantly enter the reception room during the evening. The very strictest faculty was In charge that year , and I might mention' here that Miss Pollard was never brought before the faculty for any misconduct. It wan Impossible for Mr. Kosclle to see her at 6:30 : o'clock. After Mr. Hoscllu called two or three Friday evenings he came In company with Mr. McKlssen and Mr. Frank Pcele. They asked to take Mbta Pollard and several other ladles to the revival services at Christ Methodist Episcopal church , near the college. At 'the revival Mr. Hoselle went to the altar , professing penitence. He explained his reason .for so doing was that he wanted to Ingratiate himself Into the good favor .of l > r. Brown , that he might try to gain his permission to call at the college more than once each week. He failed , and this , sacrilegious act so angered Dr. Brown that the next time Hoselle and his card , like that of nil other callers , was handed to Dr. Brown before being sent to the young lady , he refused him admittance and gave him to under stand that his presence .was not wanted about the college. , The Injunction was made so strong that Koselle never called but once afterwards , "which occasion was a special . privilege granted him to say goodby to .Miss Pollnrd in , the presence of a teacher. " „ Mr. Hosello convqyc't the Impression that he was one of. the partners of the John S. Hill company , when he , was but nn em ploye.

Dentil , COLUMBIA , S. C. , March 30. ( Special Telegram to The Deo. ) The passions aroused by the dispensary law and the spy system had the long expected result In a light at Darlington this afternoon , In which at least two spies and UNO citizens wcro shot to death and throe men were badly wounded. This city was wild tonight. A crowd of 1,000 men surged about the bulle tin boards. All the sympathy was with thu citizens , and 'the air was full of fierce ex pressions against the governor , the illa- pensary and the spies. * The light occured'nt 30 : this afternoon at the depot , as n body of armed splcu were leaving town. At 1 o'clock today the condition of affairs was quiet and the Sumtor light Infantry , ordered to Darlington - ton yesteiday , returned home , all danger being regarded us over. In the llBht Frank U , Nounent , a prom inent young Insurance man , and n man named Hedmond from North Carnjlna anil Constables McLennan and Pepper wera killed outright. Chief of Police DurKan , 1C. IX Lucas and Lewis Norment were shot and danger ously wounded. When Governor Tlllmtm received the news a hasty confercnro ivns held with Adjutant General Failey , a special train 'was arranged for and the three local militia companies were ordered to assemble at their armories. Meanwhile telegrams were received from the attorney general nt Darlington requesting that military bo sent to restore order , and also from the sheriff at Darlington , declaring he was un able to keep the pence. Colonel Wyllo Jones , of the Palmetto regiment was or- llered to proceed with troops to Darlington. MILITIA HKFU8HD TO GO. It at once bocanie n question whether the militiamen , nil sympathizers with the Darlington -citizens , would go. The Co lumbia Kouavos , commanded by Captain John a. Capers , as-'semblcd nt their armory. The captain offered to go or not , as the majority elected. The roll was called and each man as his name was called laid down his gun. Then the captain did the aamo thing with his sword. When the news reached the streets there was wild , chccr- "ine.- - ' " - . " Captain Alston of Hlchlnnd voluntcera found It Impossible to get hlH men together. Only six responded to the call. The Gov ernor's guards debated the question an hour , the crowd waiting In the street below meantime becoming Impatient. Threats were made that If they attempted to march the crowd would attack them and capture their arms , Bishop Klllson Capers of the Episcopal church addressed the crowd and , declared against the advisability of the , company going to Darlington , and begged , that they be shown no violence. All this time the guards had shown no disposition to go , and finally determined to disband. In preference. In a moment the crowd heard the news and wild cheers went up. .Somebody sug gested that the stftte dlspensary..two blocks down the street , be raided , and things looked extremely ugly. Speeches were made by N. G. Gonzales , editor of States ; Captain John Capers and others against violence , and the tiBsembluga dispersed. Everything Is now quiet In the city. HAVE THE SPIES IN THE WOODS. News has been received here to tlje effect that the spies were surrounded In nome woods near Darlington. The woods weio surrounded by angry citizens , who wera bent on avenging 1119 wrong done them. Governor Tlllman , having failed to get the Columbia militia to go , has ordered the Charleston mllltla out. This created Intense excitement In that city , and It la not probable that they will go. Adjutant General Farley left on n special train for Darlington at 10 o'clock. The Light In fantry of Sumter has refused to go to Dar lington , but Farley will bo Joined by the guards of Manning. It Is suspecti-d here that the enraged people of Darlington arc determined upon exterminating the spies , nnd they are not likely to be Interfered with by the mllltla from other towns. Nothing lm been heard fiom Daillngton In four hours and this Is taken us nn Indication that the citizens nro"In a dangoroim mood. WHAT THE GOVKUNOH SAYS. At fi o'clock this afternoon the newspaper representatives icpiilied to the executive mansion. The governor came hurriedly to the door. He seemed to bo very much wor ried and walked up anil down thu piazza. When told that the spies hail taken to the woods he said he could not bluino them when there were 400 or COO men after them. Ho said : "Nobod wants to do anything over there but to secure the pcacu and get the civil authorities In possession of the town again.
