Mated he did not know now tlio rcRtilto worn arrived at , but referred to the direc tors' report for 1890 and 1891 , which Bald the cost was 8.CO on tlio Union Pacific and In 1891 wan 8.09.

In regard to excess mileage the witness ftld It had been In force from the building of the road , but In 1872 It was cut off on all runs east of Cheyenne , and men inado no complaint , as the conditions which form * crly Justified It had changed , tti regard to short runs where largo pay was earned l > y virtue of excess mileage Mr. Vroman ald those runs were extreme cases which Mr , McConnell cited , two being out of Wal lace , which were seven mileand the grades were as high an 2CO feet and only three cars could bo handled by u largo engine , and the conditions were tin dan * Kftroua that cars had to be chained to the track for safety , ns blocking was not mif- flclent. The now In those sections was also very deep , and the service was not only dangerous , but very disagreeable. The other run mentioned was from Starbtick to Alto , elovpn miles , Drat R\o miles 100 ftct per mile , and the next slv Milieu IfiO feet to the mile , and the run was that of a. helper , and U few trains were 'run the helper mailo few trips and received small pay. * In regard to when the largest engines were used the statement of Mr McConnell confirmed the contention of the men that the engineers were required to cxerclso greater vigilance and the exercise of greater judgment. Trains were made up to full rapacity of the engine , and they frequmtly had to double and backing down for the balance of the train was a dangerous trip. The tlmo required to make the mime mileage was greater on the heavy grades than In the valley. Tlio time card showed the > > amo time , but In actual practice more time was consumed In regard to the statement that the pay on large engines was not disturbed , he said the rate had not been changed , but by cut ting off excess mileage the pay \vus reduced. In regard to tlio statement that the grades did not exceed ninety feet to the mile between Cheyenne and Ogden , Mr. Vroman stated there were helpers ou alt of these hills. On the Short Kino the grades were heavier , and at these places two helpers were often necessary to get a full train over the grades , they were so steep In regard to work engineers formerly did which was now not done by them men tioned by Mr McConnell , the witness said he never saw any Instructions to engineers during his twenty-flvo years service which ruin I red the engineers to do that work , but , nevertheless , many of the best engineers preferred to do this work In regard to rlcdiilng out oil holes mentioned l > y Mr. MtConnell , the cleaning referred to required the lifting of the journal by jack screws and had to bo done In the shops In regard to the statement of Mr Mc- ronncll that the Introduction of heavier locomotives had not Increased the work of engineers , thu witness said thej < lulmeil the Increased tonnage the heavier engines hauled required greater vigilance and skill to hold the trains safely down the heagrades. . ENGINEERS NOT HUSPONSIHLU. The witness claimed the engineers were not responsible for the discrimination In regard to excess mileage allowance between different branches of the service lie stated the engineers had never made a demand upon the company , but had always put It In the way of a request , and there had always l > cn the best of feeling between the men and the management. In substantiation of this olatement the witness read a series of reso lutions adopted by the men after a con ference In 1885. Since that time conferences have been held to make amendments to the hchcdulcs and rules made necessary by changed conditions and the acquisition of new lines. In 1810 one was held with Mr. Chirk. At that tlmo Mr. Cl.irk requested the wage question bo held In abeyance and the men cheerfully consented. And this brought out a warm letter ot commendation from Mr. Clark. In regard to being called upon laht August to agree to a reduction in wages the witness stated the men who -were called upon had no authority to grant the request , but It was submitted to the men who ulono could decide. The general opinion of the men was that the general depression affected the pay of the men , as they were paid on the mileage basis , and only draw pay 'for services actually done , and were already suffering as much loss as the company proportionately , and did not deem a reduction In ruto of pay to be fair and just. Mr. Vroman stated to the court that In his opinion the teachings and practices of the brotherhood had tended to bring to the system a better class of employes and to weed out the poor ones by refusing to countenance them or their practices COMPARATIVE WAGES. The witness then made comparisons In wages between the men west of Cheyenne en the Union Pacific and on the Southern Pacific under similar conditions , . The Union Pacific- men received $1.29 pel 100 miles on the runs from Che > onne to Ogden. Hunt- iiigton , Portland and Pacific division $ J 95 per 100 miles , or an average of $4.45 per 100 miles. Southern Pacific , Ogden to Terrace , $4.65 ; Terrace to Carlln , $1.70 ; Carlln to Winnl- niuca. $5.18 ; Wadsworth to Truckeo , $4.65 ; Truckoo to Sacramento. $593 for freight tuns. Sacramento to Red Illuff , $5 , and from Red Dluff to Dunsmen , $525 ; Ashland to Grant Pass , $4.50 ; Grant Pass to Roseburg , J4 50 ; Junction City to Portland. $4.09. The average for passenger engineers was $4.15 , and for freight , $4.87. General average $4.51 ; on the basis of two freight miles to one passenger the general average would be $4.87. He was not In a position to get all the data from which the companies get figures for cost of engine service , The men cite six systems for comparison with the eastern end of the line. The average of the six lines similarly Minuted and In which the conditions were tmnilar to the eastern end of the Union Pacific was 6 04. and on the eastern end of the Union Pacific It was G 89. On the entire - tire Union Pacific system It was 6.47. The rate of pay for the service of helpers the witness did not think was excessive bo- NUMBER 4.

As to Just what the percentage of re duction under the now schedule would be Mr. Vroman stated he could not tell , M It was affected BO largely by conditions which were to them mainly an unknown a anlUy. As to why the men should 1m allowed a day's pay for running from Cheyenni to Laramlc , a distance of fltty-slx miles , the witness stated ( t was because It used up practically a day's llino of the men , nnd what remained was of no practical value to the men Under the old scholulc If the mon doubled the run they got one nnd one- half Uajfl , but under the now they le- colved pay for 11G miles.

DHNVIIU. March 31 Hx-Govemor nvans told un Associated press reporter tonight that the Union Pacific people are wrong when they leport the decision of Judges Caldwell and.Sanboin of the t'nlted States circuit court at Omaha as against the Gulf road. He says : "The pilnelples laid down by the court aie undoubted ! } eonect. The dispute between the receivers as to the pay due for the use of the Juleslmrg cut oft are referred to the lecelveis of the icspec- tlve roads for an equitable adjustment. In case they cannot agree the court will de cide. The Union P.iclllc cannot afford now to use this line , nnd olllcers of the Ninth- western say theii road would object to their business being hauled by way of Cheyenne. The Julesbuig line was built by the Union Pacille In order to shorten Its line to Denvei , and Its abandonment would undoubtedly give the other enstein lines a great advantage for Colorado busi ness. The questions of the use of shops and yards are of minor importance com pared with the segregation of the two properties , nnd the eouit directs their ad justment In like inunnci , which Is emi nently just nnd fair , dining the piocess of segregation. " The governor sa > s his suit. In which Mr. Trumbull acts as leceiver , vvaH not only recognl/ed , but the segiegatlon of the Gulf property and Its Independent opeiutlon also. The hope p.f the Union Pacille people that the Gulf road would be ever reorgan ized Into the Union Pailllc system , which its attorneys claim Is only desired to sup press competition , is effectually blighted.

It is said that the wounded spy now In Jail ac knowledges that he fired the shots and as. sorts that he got his man. At 2 o'clock today Governor Tillman de clared martial law In this town. The proc lamation declaring Darlington and Florence counties In Insurrection has been received here. It Is authentically reported that three spies were captured at Slimier at 4 o'clock and were sent to Columbia on a special train for safekeeping It Is also currently re ported that another spy was captured near here It is said he was wounded In three places and was exhausted when discovered. It Is thought the posse finished him , as they will not talk and did not bring him with them when they returned to town. At 9 o'clock tonight the streets of this place , usually quiet at this hour , were lively and crowds were standing around all public places.

WITH inspiNSAiuis. : : Angry Vigil infos Alrindoii tlio 1'urmilt of Spit H mid Miniisli Stnto .S.tlonns , FLORENCE , S. C , , March 31. The bands of vigilantes who started out last night In pursuit of whisky spies returned this after noon , having thoroughly beaten the bush for the governor's agents. They passed during the night within. . , hailing distance of their game , as the beaten tracks found In the morning showed , Hut all to no purpose. The spies are still at large. and probably safely out of the radiums of the excitement. All night , on horseback , and on foot , the search proceeded , until , oreSfcome by weariness , the pursuers were con/pelled / to call off the chase. } At Muldrow's mH. ) about seven miles webt of here , definite Information of the where abouts of the spit's ' was obtained. A cltben named Williams \ftfet \ nine spies , and one white man , supposc'd to be their guard , in a swamp there. Hfubrought an offer of sur render of the sple1 ? to the vigilantes , who , at the time , were 'Jtl tlie'Tnlll. The pursued men offered -surrgrnler thejrjRrmijlfjgivcn a guarantee of .hate , conduct for their persons and , also'y their -liberty. The spies , Williams ' sajs , were to wait until 10 o'clock for a reply to be brought by him alone. Williams returned with an agreement from the pursuers , but found that the truce was to gain time 16 es cape. The pursued men had all gone. Pur suit of them was delayed by a lack of organ ization and discipline In the band ot pursu ers. Every man wanted to have his way , and so much time was lost. Guards were finally sent by the vigilantes. A cordon was thrown around the swamp and men sent to beat up the game , but da > light showed that the spies had ( dipped by the guard at a bridge and made * off. The remainder of the night was spent by the vigilantes In nearby towns , where they demolished the state bar rooms. . , The Timmonsv Hie dispensary was blown up with powder. At Florence , Darlington and ather places , numbering seven In all , the vigilantes were- content to smash everything breakable. They made a ruin of the state dramshops. The floors of Tillman's bar rooms , when they got through with them , were knee deep In broken glass , and liquor was flowing In streams through the streets In Florence today there was much excite ment , but no trouble occurred and the hours passed quietly. Some apprehension was felt when the governor ordered Clerk of Court McGovvan to go Into the country to sound the slogan and arm the faithful , but Mc- Gowun , after two or three attempts to get some other person to cirry out the goev rnor's order , gave It up. Both political factious feel that the whole thing Is the outgrowth of factional fights and political differences of the past few years , and have been mixing up on tlio streets today and discussing yesteiday's affairs excitedly , at times , but in only two cases with an uppioach to a fight. About 1 o'clock the governor's proclama tlon declailng riorenco and Daillngton In open rebellion was received here. For such a grave subject this Is regarded as the best Joke of the season , and the governor's enemies compared It to papal bulls Issued after the reformation excommunicating Chris tendom. The governor found twenty-three militiamen In BIshppvlllo willing to obey his orders to go ( yMljirllnglon ) , and rushed them through hero udn a special train to Daillngton.

If the word of medical experts Is to bo relied on Omaha has n coso ot smallpox , and lhe > question : "Havo you been vaccinated ? " will probably bo asked today by most of the men who are lit the city attending the wage hearing In the federal court. A few days ago J. C. Woods , a brakeman , arrived In the city from Ellis , Kan. Mon day morning ho complained of feeling bad , but continued until yesterday morning to attend the meetings of the railway men and participate In the deliberations Yesterday , however , ho was compelled to take to his bed and a physician was called. Dr. Jones , who attended , announced that he was unable to toll Just what ailed the man , after which Health Commissioner Savlllc and his assist ant , Dr. Towne , were called. As soon as these gentlemen had made an Investigation they pronounced It a case of smallpox and a movement was at once put on foot to have Woods quarantined. None of the hospitals would allow the man to enter , and then an attempt was made to rent a vacant house. All of the efforts In this direction were without success , the owners stating that they would sell , but would not rent their buildings for emcrgencj hospital purposes. AH a last resort a largo tent was purchased and set up on the brick yard site , on the poor farm , about one-half mile from the county hospital. To this tent Woods was removed In the afternoon. Where he was made as comfortable as possible , re. cclvlng care and medical attendance WHAT DR. SAVILLE SAYS Health Commissioner Savllle , when asked about the case last night , said "Dr. Jones came to see me this morning about It , saying that ho had a case that was very suspicious , and wanted me to go and look at It. As soon as I saw It I know it to bo a case of smallpox , and at once set about making ar rangements to get It away and to take pre cautions against any further spread of It. I thought wo had a pest house already secured In the western part of the city , but as soon as the owners found that we wanted to move a case of smallpox there they objected and went back on all previous arrangements They wanted to sell us the house for $1,500 , but wo didn't have time to do any dickering about It then , bo I bought a tent and some lumber and had a place fixed up near the southwest corner of the poor farm , and moved the man out there at C o'clock this afternoon. We took along the bed and everything , and then wo carefully fumigated and disinfected the house. As near as I could find out , about twentj-flve persons had been exposed in one way and another , and we rounded them up and disinfected and vaccinated 1110111 ? There may bo some further outbreak of the disease , but there Is no oc casion for any alarm. This Is not a serious case. Jt is really a case of varlolold , for the man had been vaccinated , and he has a very light attack. I examined him , and of all the pustules on his body I do not think that more than two or three will leave a mark. Ho got up , and after wo had wrapped him up he walked down to the express wagon that wo had secured , and after getting out to the tent he walked In and sat down until his bed was In readiness. His fever has left him and he eats and Is getting along nicely. It is only a question now of a little time and careful nursing. I secured Dorsey HoutU as nurse , for he has had a great deal of ex perience In that line. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. "The man told me that ho was a. brake man , and I Inferred that he was out of a Job. Ho said he had been In Kansas , and left there about ten days ago and went over Into Iowa near Creston , and came here last Saturday. Ho had not been feel ing well for a day or two before he got hero , and had quite a fever last Saturday. He did not have a doctor called until Mon day. Today I found the disease well along and the pustules wore well advanced. It is not strange that so many doctors are Hot familiar with smallpox , as It Is not a common disease , and I will venture to say that not half of the physicians In this city ever saw a case of It. I have been called on at least a do/en times during Uio past month to look at cases that the attending physicians thought suspicious , but this Is the first one of smallpox that I have found among them. I wont through several epi demics of It while wltU the army on the plains , and biippobc I have treated at least 200 cases of It , besides having had It my self. People get needlessly scared about it , principally Because tney don't know much about it. It is no worse than diph theria , nor In fact as bad , but folks don't get scared by whole communities about diphtheria as they do over smallpox. It Is rarely communicated except by contagion with the person affected , and It Is not difficult to guard against Its spread. Vaccination Is not a sure proventatlvo , but It Insures a light attack If the person takes the disease , Just as Is the case In this Instance. So far as tents are concerned , I would rather have a smallpox patient In a tent than In a house. H can be kept warm enough , and at the same tlmo It Is easier to keep the patient covered up , and there Is an abundance of fresh air , which Is better for the patient and moio pbasant for those around him , for such cases are rather disagreeable at best. Wo located the tent In a rather-out- of-the-way place , whole none will pass , and In a couple of weeks the patient ought to bo all right again , as the disease runs about three weeks. Cases of exposure ought to develop in eight or nine days , if they are going to amount to anything. " Assistant City Plijslclnn Towne , In speak ing of the matter last night , said that he had examined Woods ve"terday morning and had pionounced It a case of well developed smallpox. The man had broken out and a number of pits wcio upon his face and body. Ha had ordered the apartment occupied by Woods closed and fumigated. Later in the duy ho had ordered all of the Inmates of the house vaccinated In order to prevent a spread of the disease , * WOES OF THE NEWLYMARRIED. llliiHtiatfil ) > } Hoiini ; Mini Who Tried to , Do H rinmhei's Work.

Judge Caldwell , which Is to settlti the questions at Issue be tween the receivers and the men on the ss- tem. A copy ot I'ho Boo was produced as the best answer to the query and the con tents of this wuro read with deep Interest In speaking of the matter Mr Pullman stated that a feeling of enmity had gtown up among the people of the country against corporations In gentral and railroad corpora tions In partlcnlai , and whenever any diffi culty arose between them and the men em- plojcd b > them this feeling assumed un aggresslv form Labor seemed to think It had no red ! ess except to employ force , and If tluso proceedings should usher In u new , era of better feeling b'tween the companies * and the men It would bo a long step forj ward.

The only weak thing about HID veto message , Mr. Lincoln thought , was the semi-endorsement of some of Its features In the closing paragraph of the message. Ho thought the suggestion that the helgnlor- ago might be coined provided authority wan given to sell bonds to maintain the gold reserve - servo was like u statement that It wouldn't do any harm to make a man sick provided the remedy for the disease was kept at baud. It seemed to him a better plan to take such measures as would prevent the subject from becoming an invalid , General John M Scollcld on the arrival of the train In the city at once took n con- vejanco and drove up to"tlu military head quarters to pay his respects to the olllcers hero and did not arrive at the train again until a few minutes before Us departure for the webt The party will go from here to Denver , where they will spend a portion of the day und then go out over the Rio Grande and stop and view the varloim points of Interest on that line.
