directors' report for the past year. This ic
Iiorl shows a deficit on Iho whole system o
SC.tiDuSll , compared with n surplus In the

] 2 per cent nnd the rate per ton per mile
about 8 per cent , while the passenger mlle-
ngo decreased about 10 per cent , with a de
crease In rate per passenger mlle of 1 per
lent. Tie and rail renewals were neil main
tained Earnings of the coal properties kept
up well , but cash receipts from land sales
decreased 30 per cent.
The report shows that the control of the
stock Is rapidly going abroad , while on
December 31 , 18S2 , only 201,033 shares were
Mid so held.
The Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern
nhow n deficit after charges on Its onn lines ,
of $238,356 , compared with a surplus In 1SD2
of $7H , CO. The deficit of the Oregon Hall
way & Navigation syntem was $1,032,459 In
1891 , compared with $1,501,111 In 1892 , mak
ing a total deficit of the Oregon Short Line
nnd Wall Northern of $2 2JO.S15 In 189.1 ,
compared with $319,781 In 1S92
The deficit of the Union Pacific , Denver Ss.
Gulf , Including Iho Fort Worth & Denver
City , was $174.229 , In 1893 , compared with a
surplus of $3 , ISO In 1SW.
Wlthoul the amount received from the
Vnlon Pacific on guaranty account the de-
flclt would have been ? 957 103 In 1803 , com-
pired with $170.075 in 1S92. The report

All VVostoni ItonN Said to Io Secretly Cutting
tingto ouiiro tlio Itnalnot * .
CHICAGO , April 23. ( Special Telegram to
The Bee ) A war In western freight rates
Is threatened. Should It occur It will bo
brought about principally by the same old
contest between the roads and the lake
lines In connection with the Great Northern ,
the See and the Canadian Pacific roads. All
attempts to got a sallsfaclory agreement to
which alt those contending Interests should
bo parties , and which should govern rates
during the present season of navigation , have
failed and have at 1 ist been abandoned as
hopeless. All parties to the negotiations
have now set In to secure all the tralllc In
slghl , and in their struggles for It rales are
* ' ' - + > elng sacrificed right and left. It Is many
months since freight rates have been so
demoralized In vvcbtcrn territory as they
ore today.
Since the organization of the trunk line
committee of the w/jstern roiidt last fall
until the last week or , ten days the western
roads have been keeping faith with each
other. The committee appointed to Investl-
gale all charges of rale cutting had little
to do. There were few complaints laid be
fore It , and on these Iherc were sllll fewer
convlcllons. The usefulness of lhat commit
tee has apparently gone , however. It would
bo a physical Impossibility for It to keep
track of rate culling that Is now going on ,
because almost every contract for the trans
portation of freight that is being made Is
being made at a cut rale. Both eastbound
and westbound rates are affected by the
prevalent demoralization. It would bo hard
to say which Is the worse , lliough , as the
bulk of traffic Is eastbound. the demoraliza
tion of rates In that direction is having the
worse results. Nor Is there any hope of
nn Immedlalo Improvement In the situation.

LINCOLN , April 25. ( Special Telegram to
The lice. ) Lincoln defeated Omaha this
afternoon In n somewhat listless and dis
piriting exhibition of ball playing. Omaha
fairly outbatted the locals , but her players
were extreinely unfortunate In running
bases. As on example of Omaha's misfor
tunes , the fifth Inning serves as an apt
Illustration1 I'lvo men made as many con-
secullvo base hits before a. man had been
put out , and yet the five hits brought but ons
run over the plate. A brilliant play by Eb-
rlRht retired two men , and a moment later
ho caught the third napping on second. Hut
In splto of this miserable luck the visitors
plajed a good game of ball , much of the
Individual work of the players securing the
applause of the crowd. Boxondalo nnd Fear
were at the points for the viators , whllo
Deveneux and Speer officiated for the
locals. Omaha failed to score until the fifth
Inning. Then Boxendole , McMackln , Seery ,
Wunyun nnd Wood each hit for n base. When
the bases were fall McMackln was caught
napping on second , and while Manager I3b-
rlght was Industriously engaged In pulling
him out Mr. Hoxendalo took advantage of
the excitement and undertook to score a
much needed run. Ebright caught him at
the homo plate and Iho score was ns far oft
as ever unlll a moment later , when Seery , who
had been advanced to third on Mnuyun's
single , scored on anolher single by Wood.
Munj nn then went to sleep on second , and
\vhfii awakened by the loud volco of the
umpire ho found that his three winks of
sleep had ended the Inning. This Inning
finished practically all the excltemonl The
visitors mndo their second and last run In
the sixth Inning Fear got first by sending
ono to I'equlgney , who obligingly handled
It as If It weighed a ton A lucky hit by
Poyle advanced him to third and he scored on
the only error made by Speor.
Lincoln had poor luck In hitting Hoxendalo ,
nnd only succeeded In securing five stra'g'it '
marks In the "n. H. " column. They rnido
their first score In the second Inning by
sheer good luck. McCailhy scored In the
sixth , gelling first by a ball In the ribs , four
wide ones lo Johnson gave him second , ho
slole third and was brought homo by Merles'
single. The Llncolns stored once more In
the eighth nnd made anolher for good
measure In the ninth. The game was wit
nessed by about 400 people , the Ihrealenlng
appearance of Iho sky keeping many away.

( Iriiiul Jury to Ha Called.
SIOUX OITV , In. , April 25. ( Special Tclo-
fjram to The Deo. ) The Woodbury cltlrons
ntul taxpayers' committee , by George Wcnro ,
Iti president , who li ono of tliu 11 nil of
Wcnro & Allison , bankers , and Its attorneys ,
Judge Wilson and John Quick , today iimdo
specific charges apatust the Hoard of Super
visors of this county , accusing the board of
mealing at least $250,000 of ttio county funds
In the pint four years , and claims to hava
the evidence necessary to convict all five
members of the board of embo77lement.
Reporters got the "first Inkling * of the steal-
In ; ; some tlmo ago and published an abstract
of warrants drawn In favor of various per
sons ami receipted for by supervisors , all on
tlia bridge and road funds. The persons In
whoso favor tlio warrants were drawn
claim never to hava had claims against tlio
county or to have received any of the money.
The board finally decided to Issue $258,000
of funding bonds to take up outstanding
warrants , which the county was unable to
carry , and the taxpayers' committee decided
to ( Ind out If the Issue la necessary. Ex
perts were put to work In the treasurer's
and auditor's odlcos with the result that
enough was found to warrant them In asking
the courts today for a permanent Injunction
restraining tlio Issuing of the bonds on the
ground that the warrants It Is sought to
take up with them arc Illegal , and that thu
Issuing of bonds would place the claims In
the hands of Innocent purchasers and make
the county liable. In the petition It Is
charged that for the past four years the
supervisors have regularly signed an agree
ment apportioning all the road and bridge
funds among them and giving each man
power , without consulting the board , to dis
pose of the funds allotted to him. The petition
charges that many persons In whose favor
warrants were drawn , which wore receipted
for by the supervisors , never knew of the
warrants nor had claims , and that In In
stances where persons had legitimate cliltns
the bills were twice and often three times
recommended by the supervisors , and the
names of the persons In whose fa\or they
were drawn signed to them without author
ity. The matter will come up for hearing
on the petition for an Injunction against the
bond Issue tomorrow , and the taxpayers'
committee will endeavor to have a special
session of the grand Jury called to Investi
gate the charges p'eferred.
The committee's attorneys have the ab
stract warrants and numerous affidavits from
persons It was supposed were getting the
money and the testimony of expert account
ants and abstractors to back their charges.

Cinrjecl ! with Cutting tVlrrm During the
'lYlrRrapliers Strike.
CEDAR RAPIDS , la. , April 25 ( Special
Telegtam to The Bee. ) The case of D. G.
Ramsey , grand chief of the Order of Tele
graphers , charged with aiding and abet
ting wire cutting on the Btiillngton , Cedar
Rapids & Northern road Uurlns tha tele-
Si apher" ) strike two years ago , cininioncul
In the district couit nt Marion today. A
Jury was obtained and attorneys stated the
position of the state ntul defense. The state
does not expect to prove wires were actu
ally cut , but that they wore made useless.
Neither doei the state expect to prove tne
defendant did the1 wire-cutting , but that he
was an accessory , inasmuch as he sug
gested and prompted the work. The clr-
fen = e will attempt to prove that the parties
engaged In conducting the proseci.tlon luve
been engaged in trying to Induce witnesses
to testify to untruths by promises of good
jobs from the railroad companies. Th.it they
, have on several occasions piocured parties
to become intoxicated and then wrote out
statements for them to sign , and sub
sequently thieatcnod the parties with prose
cution for the confession they made while
Intoxicated ; In fact that 'he p-.osecutlon
was Instigated and set on foot by the rail
road comp\ny out of revenge upon Ramsey
for being Instrumental in ordeilng the
strike , and that the wires were wrapped
by procurement of the lallroad companies
In order to tasten the rebponslblllty upon
Ramsey and dcpilve him and the strlkeis
of public sympathy.
W. J. Ttjlor , formerly station agent at
Palo , and one of the strikers , was the llrst
witness for the state. lie testified that
Ramsey at the meetings at the tti'ikers'
headquarters In this city would often say ,
"Tho company Is using foul means to beat
us , and we must use them against them
to win the strike , " and that he hud heard
Ramsey say , ' Those w ires must be stopped ,
and vtm boys know what to do , now BO
and do It" He had also heai d Ramsey
say he had a man In the east who could do
that kind of work , and that "we must win
thi-s strike by fair means or foul. " Noth
ing new was developed in the croi > s-exam-
Inatlon of Taylor.
A. n. Jefferle" , who was agent at Cone at
the tlmo of the ftilltp , also testified that
Ramsey bald the strke , ! must be won by
f.ilr means 01 fuul , and that the wltrs must
ba stopped. Hu al = o toid a story of going
to Ramsey at headquarters during the
strike and saying he w anted $3 lor a little
special business.
"What Is the business ? " asked Ramsey.
"I want to get two teams nnd go down
here and cut wires "
Witness testified that Ramsey handed him
fi anil ndmonl hcd him , s lying : "Re care
ful , now , nticl don't get in any trouble. "
Couit adjourned with Jeffilc.s still on the

WANT TO KEEP PATTERSON.
I'lMt l'ri > 4ltt rlitn C'liurrh I'lgiirlng on How
to Do It.
A Inrgely attended meeting of the member *
of the Presbyterian church and congregation
was held last evening In the parlors of the
church , after the regular Wednesday evenIng -
Ing prayer meeting , to dUciiM the question
of building a now church. As has been pre
viously stated In Tlio IJce , the piitor , llcv.
Mr. Patterson , has received a call from the
Westminster church at Detroit , and Is dis
posed to accept It unless the congregation
hero at once mnkcs good the promise madu n
year ago , when ho cimo hero , and builds n
larger and more modern cdlllco than the one
It now occupies.
J. Ii Kennedy presided at tlio meeting ,
and Invited all present to express themselves
on the subject. A largo number responded
to the Invitation , and the expression of sjntl-
ment was a nattering tribute to the worth
and ability of Mr. Patterson. It seemed to
be tlio unanimous opinion that ho had In
fused new life Into tlio church In all Us
departments and branches and that It would
bo a serious loss to have him go to an
other field. Duo consideration was given hi *
statement mada to certain members of the
church that lie needed greater facilities and
that ho was just reaching his prime anil must
now do bis great work If ho was to do It at
all. Some of those present thought that It
was out of the question to build a new church
at this tlmo , owing to the depression In finan
cial circles and the dllllculty of securing a
loan , and that If Mr. Patterson's require
ments could not be met by tlio present ac
commodations for at least a few months
longer It might bo necessary for the church
to try to get along without him. Others
were of the opinion that the Lord would
smllo on the efforts of the church to try to
erect a more commodious sructuro for the
purpose of more suecssfully carrying on His
work , and would point out a way if the mem
bers took hold of the matter In earnest.
Mr. Kennedy said tint the meeting was
for the purpose of Interchanging Idc.m rather
than to arrive at any definite conclusion , and
to give these present something to take
homo and think over He said that ono
plan that hnd bsen suggested was to enlarge
the present structure at a cost of something
like Jfl.OOO , which would give a seating
capacity of 250 to 300 moro than at present.
Mr. Pallet son was opposed to Ihls , because
It would delay the building of a new struc
ture , but some of the members thought It
came nearer to meeting tha present ability
of the church. Another plnn was to adopt
the course followed by the Omaha club , and
after placing a flrst mortgage of about $25-
000 , to mortgage the property for another
? 2fi,000 , these bonds to bo placed among the
friends of the church , cither with or without
Interest as they might see fit to elect. It
was useless to think of building such a
structure as would be satisfactory for loss
than $ r,0.000 or $75,000. Mr. Crelgh had In
formed them that It would now bo Impossi
ble to get u loan of $25,000 on the property ,
and tlio situation was somewhat chaotic so
far as developed Ideas was. concerned. The '
church now had a deficit for the past year |
of something like $3,000 , but the trustees
had Just held a meeting and thought they j
had devised a way of squaring up that by j
the end of this year. It was believed that j
It would bo much easier to raise $15,000 a
year with a new church than It Is now to
ralso $10,000 , and It was hoped that all
would consider the matler carefully and try j
to bo of assistance In ai riving at a conclu
sion lhat would be for the best Interests of I
the church , It was only a question of
time when a now church would have lo bo
bulk , and It was a nocesslly If a really
strong preacher was to be kept by the
church. If a strong central church organ
ization was to bo maintained this was neces
sary , otherwise It would die as a down lown
church and all lint would be left would bo
just sulllclent to start a family church fur
ther up town.

GALENA , 111. , April 25. ( Special Tele

Mary Chandler and George Ellsworth Faw-
cott of Omaha took place this evening at
the residence of the bride's father , II. II.
Chandler. Iho reception following was the
largest social event of the season hero.
There were 400 guests , many being from
Chicago. Rev. P. W. Straw of Mineral
Point , WIs. , performed the ceremony. The
bridesmaids were Misses Edith and Grace
Chandler of Galena , Alice and Mao Fawcett
of Omaha and Annie and Bernlco Chandler

"I.ucl.1 dl Lammermoor. " Donlrettl'ii
"ehowy" opera , based upon Sir Waller
Scott's story of llio "llrldo of l.tmmer-
mo6r , " was Rlren by the Western Opera
company last evening at Ilnyd'x , and viewed
from every standpoint U was the succeas of
Iho week. Its trnglc tlicmo and exquisitely
considered music will pcrpetuata It for many
years to come , Its past having brcn cro\vned
with IntiroK Whllo os ntlally a onp-part
opera , It affords muKiilllcunt scope for both
tenor nnd baritone , and It U nut too much
to any that William Merlons and llnrron
Ilerthald were In close sympathy with Iho
prlma donna of tha night , Mine , holilso
Natall Mine. Natall was In beautiful volco
and aim sane the dllllcult arias with all tlm
brllliincy and nro of the true artlsto , who
loves her art for art's sake and not for the
emoluments tlmt woiihl mttirnlly bo a part
of her performance The technical
dllllcuHIes were eatdly overcome by
this conscientious artiste , and nho
justified List night all the high hopes
ontprt.ilned for her as the heroine of an
oppia which stands out prominently as ono
of the great works of the old Italian school
Her Lucli , both In singing and acting , was
a strong creation , and throughout the trying
score , she showed herself absolute inlstrcan of
the situation , although her Interpolation of
cyidrn/as nnd roulades were not a part of
tlio score. Hut BO praiseworthy was her
work that It was a positive ple.isuru to hear
her , not only In the "mad" seeno , which
Hho gave with flno feeling nnd expression ,
but In the sextette as well. And that sug
gests the remark that as long as music
Is music the sextette of "Lucia" and the
cpiartetto of "Ulgollctto" will live ns Iho
llncst examples of descriptive Ijrlc writing.
Never has the sextette , "What from Vengeance -
anco Yet Restrains Mo , " been heard to bet
ter advantage than last night by. the prin
cipals of the Western Opera company Ths
orchestra , chorus and principals wpro In
perfect unison , and the magnificent tonal
I popm scored nn ovation worthy In every
way. It arouspd old opera goers to pro
nounced enthusiasm , and Its second repe
tition was a most Haltering tribute to tha
artists
Next to Natall , Mortens emphasized the
good opinion formed of him ns the Count dl
Luna. Ho was in flno form , and sang- with
all the art of which ho Is so excellent a
master. It was so ilch a perfoimnnco that ,
freed from the glamour which surrounds
the role of Lucia , might give him the mcuj
of having won the honors of the evening.
Hut Mertcns , In the light of critical es
timate , was ( ] uito the equal of the brilliant
Natal ) , and deserves to be so ranked In tha
llghl of last night's performance.
Ilerthald's work was also eminently Balls-
factory , his volco being pleasing In quality ,
which , coupled with considerable dratnatla
. power , made him an Ideal lover Mr.
belasco's Ilamondo was very much superior
lo bin Mephlsto , his flno basso fitting the
part like a glove , 'llio orchestra was much
moro acceptable than In 'Tanst , " and added
greatly to the delight of the performance ,
the flute obllgato of Slg. Chelll In the "mad"
scene being rich In Its quality and executed
with fine technique
Tonight a brilliant performance of "Car
men" will bo given , with Miss Von DocnhoU
In the title role. The opera will have a
number of flue spectacular effects , tha
chorus being again augmented. The full
cast Is as follows :
