There was a stir and commotion around
Union Pacific headquarters yesterday that
Indicated something out of the ordinary was
going on. In the general manager's odlce
the scone was a busy one , while In the
outer o ( H cos leading : to the president's and
receivers' rooms the clerks were rushed
with business , and the presence of unknown
stenographers was proof some of the big
guns of the Union Pacific had quietly
slipped Into headquarters without their com
ing being being known except to those di
rectly In touch with them.
General Manager Dickinson was closeted
all morning with Receiver Prank Trumbull
of the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf , ques
tions ai to the running of trains and the
general details of the two Independent com-
pan.es occupying the attention of these two
railroad men
But In the receivers' rooms , which of late
have not been occupied , save by ono or two
clerks under Assistant Secretary Orr , there
were present Receivers Oliver W. Mink , E.
I3Ilcry Ander on ami Prcderlck H. Coudcrt ,
who came in from St. Paul In the morning ,
having been in attendance on the hearing
In relation to the pet tlon of the receivers
of the Union Pacific asking for Instructions
from Judge Sanborn as to cutting off useless -
loss members of the system , roads that
failed to pay operating expen es.
PURPORT OF DECISION.
Mr. Anderson , when asked what the pur
port of Judge Sanborn's opinion
was , said "The receivers of the
Union Pacific are directed by ths court
to deliver to the Denver , Leadvllle & Ounnl-
son company , or to the American Loan and
Trust company , trustee of the mortgage , or
to the receiver , If any be appointed , the
property of the compiny on or before August
7. The question ns to the deficit arising
out of the operation of the road since the
receivers of the Union Pacific took charge
of the property , October 13 , ! S33f whether
this deficit should be charged as a preferred
claim or against the Union Pacific Hallway
company , or equitably apportioned between
the Denver , L advllle & Gunnlson company
nnd the Union Pacific , or any line which ap
pears to bo benefited , was referred to Judge
Cornish , as master In chancery , who Is di
rected to tnko testimony and refer the matter -
tor to the court ,
"Tho receivers are directed to continue
the operation of the Carbon cut-off. All mat
ters relating to the Washington nnd Idaho
and Oregon extension were reserved until the
accounts between the receivers of the Union
Pacific and Receiver McNelll of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company shall have
been completed.
"All questions ns to the operation of the
other roads Indicated In the petition. In
cluding tlio Omaha & . Republican Valley
nnd several Kansas lines , are refeiied to
Judge Cornish , to take proofs and report his
opinion to the court on or before October
IE , hearing on these reports to be had No
vember 15 , before Judge Sanborn , at St.
Paul.
"In regard to the abrogation of certain
contracts also Included In the petition the
court allowed all parties in Interest to Inter
vene or answer wllhln twenty days , the re
ceivers being required to reply to such Inter
ventions or answers within ten days. Judge
Cornish was directed to take all proofs on
Issues so raised and report to the court on or
before October 15 , the hearing in these mat
ters to bo had November 15. Any parties
are allowed to file exceptions between Octo
ber 15 nnd November 15. "
Mr. Mink at this moment stated In relation
to the deficit of the Denver , Leadvllle &
Gunnlson company that It amounts to about
$200,000 , or nearly $1,000 a day since the
receivers took hold of the property In the
Interest of the court. "
"At the hearing before Jiuige San-
born , " Interjected Mr. Anderson , "the
Gunnlson people asserted that If
tlio deficiency was charged , against
the company It would leave the company
absolutely nothing. The Union Pacific re
ceivers on the other hand argued that If
charged against the balance of the system It
would fall upon the bondholders , which they
regard ns Inequitable. "
MR , COUDERT TALKS.
This Is Mr. Coudcrt's first visit to the
west , which , he stated , might argue a lack
of appreciative knowledge , but which he
emphatically denied , for the reason that ho
lias ever bean a busy man.
Asked about the future of the Union Pa
cific , system Mr. Coudert said :
"It Is very difficult to undertake to per
form the part of a prophet in connection
with this system. It Is n great and useful
one that ought to grow In Importance to
, the country , but everything has worked
against It , and I may say against all the
railroads west of the Mlshlsslppl , during
the last two or three years. The financial
depression , the unrest of labor , storms of
uncommon severity , extravagant competition ,
have all combined to fetter the efforts and
to disappoint the expectations of the Union
Pacific as well as of other railroads. Then ,
too , wo must bear In mind that In the
United States , especially In the western
half , men are strong and vigorous In their
acts and' optimistic In their views. They
discount the future as no other
people In the world have over
done , and where It appears that
1,000 miles of railroad will probibly bo nonled
In ton years they proceed at once to save
time by building 2,000 miles Immediately.
But the country must develop , the G5.000-
000 must grow Into 100,000,000 and this Im
mense now work , great as It Is , will bo
utterly Inadequate to the business of the
country. I may be an optimist ; I hope I
am. Pessimists are of no use In the world ,
but I firmly believe that If congress will como
to Its senses , It local preferences and pre
judices will give way before what Is plainly
Interests , and the promises of good crops will
hold out for the next two months , wo will
have a boom such ns very few men now con
template. The period of depression has al
ready lasted too long and the very Instant
the causes are removed the elasticity of our
people will once more , show Itself. The
country needs the boom , thu rillroads need It ,
but I grieve to say the democratic party
needs It worst of all , "
Messrs. Mink , Anderson nnd Coudcrt leavn
this aftern-oii for the east having aloit con-
ploted the work which called them west at
this time.
Yesterday afternoon the receivers called
upon General Brooke with a view of ascer
taining the military Idea of the situation
In Montana and later were shown through
The Be ) building , Mr , Coudert being particu
larly Impressed with the progresslvrness
of Mr. Rosewater and those associated with
him In erecting to complete a-newspaper

CLEVELAND , July 20 The Iron Trade
Ilevlew this week says : It Is striking
proof of the resiliency of the
country's business organization that
we should witness one week an
almost complete paralysis of transpor
tation , compelling hundreds (5f ( manufac
turers to slop , while tlie next is marked
by a complete raising of the embirgo , with
Industries resuming on every hand. The
week under review has shown n general
starting up of Iron and steel plints , not
only those-which the strike had closed , but
those idle on account of scale differences.
Both these Impediments hive now been
removed Theie remains yet the handicap
of insufficient coke supplies , which keeps
furnaces In the Mahonlng and Shenango
valleys out of blast , and the desperate
strike of the miners ot the Alabama Fur
nace companies , which has silenced about
half of the furnace capacity there. The
Increased activity of mills , under the cir
cumstances , signifies the working up of ac
cumulated orders , as there Is no develop
ment In the week Indicating n revival of
demand. Prices In all departments of the
market are steady.

The board of directors of the Manufac

amounted to | 252. The special train run
from Omaha paid for Itself. After a care
ful consideration of the subject It was de
cided to hold the next banquet In Beatrice
between August 13 and 1C. The directors
all expressed themselves as of the opinion
that the banquets , which furnish an op
portunity for Jho manufacturers and re

Had Walter D. Heynolds "known " that
ho was to land In jail , the presumption U
that ho would have given Omaha a very
wide bsrtji when ho was making the Journey
across the continent from California to New
York , but as he had not received a hunch
In this direction ho came along and Is now
In a cell meditating over the folly of having
too many strings to his bow and too many
wives to support.
Mr. Heynolds came to Omaha Thursday
and now ho declares that If he gets away
with n whole skin he will never come again ,
not If ho lives to see the end of the twen
tieth century.
Down on North Sixteenth street , not far
from Webster , W. T. Lyons and his wife
opernto n small bakery , where they are as
sisted by their daughter , Birdie , a comely
woman of some twenty summers. Thurs
day this young woman was attending to her
duties about the premises , singing nnd
seemingly ns happy as n lark During the
early part of the evening she suddenly
put on her wraps nnd went out , telling her
parents that she was going to breathe a lit
tle fresh air. At 9 o'clock she had not returned -
turned and the parents becani" alarmed
Another hour and then another pissed away ,
but with the passing of the latter hour there
came a messenger boy with a note which
read.
"Birdie Is to stay with me tonight. You
will see her In the rooming. "
FEARED SHE WAS STOLEN.
Visions of kidnapping floated throuRh the
minds of the two old people as 'hey thought
of their daughter being carried away by
some strange man. They dlscj'H * ! the tlt-
uatlon In all of Its dlffeicnt and man } phases
and then started out on a sean-h , ijln ; to
all of the p'aces ' which the girl had been
In the habit of frequenting. Not llndlng her ,
they reported the matter to Iho pol'ce ' , ami
then returned to their homes. Just then It
occurred to their minds that during the
aftorncon they had seen a man walking up
and down on the opposite side of the stieet ,
apparently watching their house. Mrs
Lyons , who by this time had rsrovcrod
somewhat from the excitement attending
the receipt of the note , remembered that the
man who had been parading the sidewalk
resembled Ilejnolds , the son-in-law , though
she hardly thought tint It could be he" , as
the last heard from him he was on the Pa
cific slope.
There was little sleep for Mrs Lyons
that night , and bright and early yesteiday
she was at the police station , where she
gave n complete description of Reynolds
and swore out a warrant for his arrest. This
was placed In the hands of an officer , who
started on a blind trail. He had gone up to
Parnam and was walking down Fifteenth
street when he came face to face with n
man who tallied with the description given'
by Mrs Lyons Tapping this man on the
shoulder , the officer asked , "Is this Mr.
Reynolds ? "
The reply was to the effect that there
was no mistake , after which the man was In
vited to the station and locked In a cell
On the way to the jail and while ho was
being searched he expressed a gieat degree
of disgust on account of being arrested and
declared that some person vvoulu pay dearly
for the humiliation which had been brought
upon him by reason of his Incarceration. He
Insisted that ho had done nothing except to
take his lawful wife to the Arcade hotel ,
where they had spent the night. Ho ex
plained that he was the keeper of the Insane
In one of the hospitals In Son Francisco ,
was on his way east to visit relatives and
had concluded to stop off for a few days in
this city to visit his wife , who was stopping
with her parents. There had been no Repara
tion , although the parents of the woman had
tried to turn her against him by poisoning
her mind with false reports concerning his
past life , telling her that he had five or sl\
wives from whom he had never been
divorced.
The other end of the story Is to the effect
that some years ago Mrs. Theme , now Mrs
Lyons , nnd her daughter Birdie resided In
this city , subsequently removing to Cali
fornia , vvhcio a couple of years agpr the
mother married Mr. Lyons. Shortly nflei
that Birdie secured n place In an insane
asylum , which was under the superln-
tendency of Heynolds. With Birdie and the
superintendent it was a case of love nt
first sight , ending in n matrimonial union
after nn acquaintance of a few months.
Soon after. the marriage Lyons
nnd his wlfo came to Omaha and
about a jear ago they commenced to re
ceive letters from their daughter , all con
taining tales of woe regarding the cruel
nnd Inhuman treatment of her husband.
This continued for some time and at last
Lyons sent the girl money to pay her fare
to this city. A fovv months after coming
hero she concluded to give Heynolds up and
scci re n divorce on the grounds of bigamy
and failure to supi art. The suit , however ,
was not commenced , but considerable work
was done In the way of securing evidence to
bo used at the trial. Letters were seemed
from a brother of Reynolds , residing In
Buffalo , N. Y. , In which ho stated that Wal
ter had had several wives ; ono at least in
each town in which ho had resided and that
ho had never been legally separated from
any of them. This evidence , which has
been secured , conveys the Information that
the wedding with Birdie Theme was a clan
destine affair nnd was strongly opposed by *
her parents on the grounds that Reynolds
was a worthless fellow and a rounder whenever
never saved any money
Yesterday when Reynolds was told
that his wife's parents accused him of hav
ing almost n countless number of wlvos ,
iie admitted that he had some , but claimed
that nt the tlmo of marrying Birdie Thorno
there was no Illegal Impediment to the
union. Reynolds being a stranger In the
city , Is making no attempt to secure ball
and will patiently remain In jail until the
final deposition of tin case , that Is If his
wife should conclude to appear and prose
cute. _

The first meeting of the Board of Public

that some changes might bo made In the

but Iho now commission preferred to wait
until they had become more familiar with

changes might prove beneficial. Chairman
Wlnspcar urged the commissioners to make

possible , as he did not think the board could

The rontl from Decatur to Lyons winds up
Klin creek , towards the divide , the water
shed Unit separates the streams that run Into
the Missouri from those running Into Logan
creek. On either sldo arc fenced fields , com
fortable houses and groves of timber , where
formerly they hunted prairie chicken with
not a bush in sight , and oh , how the first
settlers did worry over the lack of timber1
Now the country Is fairly covered with tress
1'ast ' Charley Gould's house , which used to
stand up gaunt and bare at the head of the
gulch , a landmark for miles , and not n
tree to be teen short of the Missouri bet
toms. Now you cannot sec the house from
the road for the trees and underbrush.
Wo are on the divide and a scene of
beauty meets the eje , agriculturally spoiling
that cannot be excelled anywhere In the
west. A high , gently rolling- prairie , dotted
with farm houses und shady groves , where
last I saw the lonely cattle trail and the yet
recent "buffalo wallow " And the corn
fields , whole sections of them , breast high ,
bright , waving green ; and the oats nnd
wheat but little behind , for hero they have
had more rain than we have had , and the
crops hardly nliovv the effects of the drouth
of May and Juno elsewhere. It Is one of the
gardens of Nebraska
It Is Juno ; Nebraska Is at Its best , and we
bowl along a maglnflcent country reid
straight west as a line as far as the eye can
reach. Parm after farm Is passed , grove
after grove Is reached , and at last the long
famed Logan valley bursts Into view.
Ttfenly-flve yeara ago I wrote an article
for E. B. Taylor In the Omaha Republican
and Bald It was the most beautiful lay of
land for farming In Nebraska , and I sec no
reason to change that now , only Instead of
naked prairie grnfcs , as then , It Is dotted
with villages , farms and trees , and such
crops !
Im the olden time there were just two
natural groves In sight ; one where Lyons
now Is and one at Oakland. Other than
these not a tree- was to be found ; now they
loom up from every quarter section. "A tree
less country ? Not much. " But here'wo are
at
LYONS.
When the senior Waldo Lyon moved the
mill over there from the Arizona bottom ,
built the first little &toro and blacksmith
shop , and begin a new country "so far nvvny
from anybody , " the * said he had hard vvotk
to get neighbors to move out there and keep
him company , and many were the prophecies
on the Missouri bottom that "them Lyons
fellows would bo glad to move back some
day , " but no one has moved jet ; on the
contrary , half the old Missouri bottom folk
have gone to L > ons , Oakland , Bancroft and
I'ender. Here your correspondent was
greeted by scores of old friends , Waldo
Lyon , jr. , the Everetts , Darlings. Crow ell ,
Tim Calnon , Illley Hart , Henry Stcen and
others It's a lovely little village , so clean
and bright. Of course , It has two news
papers , and the editor of one is "Moao"
Warner , son of Colonel Jessa Warner of
Dakota county , and he has written a history
of Dakota county which Is useful , ornamental
and mostly true. Charley Darling and Ben
Everett took us In nnd did for us by turns ,
and the varns wo had to swap about old
times around the old store , and the old po
litical bouts and the changes in the coun
try. "Ben" used to be a good republican
then , but he's a rank "pop" now , and has
Inoculated all his family , but they are just
Jolly folks to visit , all the same.
Hero Is one of Ben's stories : After Prank
Welch's mill burned down at Decatur and
the grasshoppers ate up the crops , and tlm ° sleeked
looked nearly as blue as they do now , Frank
met some friends ( ? ) one day and was com
plaining of his hard luck. "But , " said he ,
"I'll be all right soon ; I've got a letter from
Senator Thayer nnd he has promised to get
me the Omaha Indian agency , and then I'll
be all O K. again. Here's the letter. "
"Let mo see that letter , " said one. After
reading it over he remarked : "Well , I
ain't the only fool in the world ; I've got the
mate to that letter , and Thayer promised
mo that agency , too "
"Holy Moses , " said another ; "I'm the
third fool In this crowd , for I've got a letter
from Thayer also , and he promised mo that
agency. " Frank put up his letter sadly and
pondered. He never got the agency , but ho
did get to bo congressman from Nebraska.
Peace to his ashes.
The next day Mr. Everett drove us out
to see the valley to Oeorgo Morter's farm ,
and a farm It Is , too. Ho is building a
new $ SOO barn , where.the cattle and horses
can pull the hay nnd grain down to feed
themselves , nnd tip the water trough up
when they please. The last time I saw him
ho was working at $20 per month for an
other man. How Is that for Nebraska and
the Logan valley ? And there are lots more
that have done equally well In twenty-five
years.
We came homo through the little old orig
inal grove of ash , elm and boxeldor. In one
old elm split open by many a storm , An
drew Everett's boys found a hatchet and
qulto a pile of silver money shortly after
they opened the farm , hid long before , no
doubt , by n wandering Indian or hunter.
In the bend of the stream Joe La Flcscho
en in o down with all his band and camped
one winter , when he quarreled with the
rest of the Indians about trading matters.
They had hundreds of ponies running near
In the timber. We passed Fremont Everett's
farm , an oddly-built , but roomy and com
fortable house. In 1SG6 , when Franch Welch ,
Cllne nnd the writer were sent to West
Point as a committee to sco If the settlers
were all murdered there by the Indians ,
wo crossed the Logan nt Lyons on a fnlien
tree , and swam our ponies over. Now n
handsome Iron bridge spans the stream.
Nothing seems more wonderful than the
timber , the groves , which the settlers wished
and prayed for so earnestly In the early days.
PENDER.
This Is n handsome town on the Chicago ,
St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railroad , op
posite the Indian reserve lands ; In fact ,
Ponder Is on the western end of the re
serve , originally , on land sold by the In
dians some years ago. West of the rail
road track Is vvhlto man's land , east of the
eamo red man's. The whole old reserve
was organized Into Thurston county a few
years ago , with Ponder as the county seat ,
and this has caused some of the complica
tions of Indian citizenship. In time the
government decided to allot lands to the
Indians In severally ; ICO acres to each
adult head of n family ; eighty acres to each
adult not the head of a family ; and forty
acres to each child. That the adults then
on hand should not get all the land and
leave none for those to como after , a cer
tain portion of lands were left unallotted ,
and are known as "tribal land" This
land IH mostly In the beautiful Logan val
ley , and finer soil for either gra/Ing or
farming It would be hard to llnd. The
Indians did not , or could not , use this land ,
and the whites living along the border hated
to nee so much grass go to waste , BO they
began leasing the lands of the Indians. On
the Omaha reserve u man by the name of
Farley , who married Into the La Desche
family , got the windward side of the agent
or the government , and leased many thou
sand acres of the tribal or unallotted lands
near Peiulcr , at from 10 to 25 cents an
aero. This was In 1S90 , and the lease was
supposed to be for live year * , There ore
about 50,000 acres of unallotted lands. U
Is claimed only five chiefs slened these
lands and the Indians are divided ns to
the propriety of so using the lands.
Several deputations have gone to Wash
ington , both whites and Indiana to have
these lands allotted , to have the leases an
nulled , pro and con ; but through Miss
Fletcher , a professional Indian philanthro
pist , It Is said , and others nt Washington
who get on the blind or fat sldn nf our
"Great father" there , nothing has bi-cn
done. Parley and Brother Tlbbils , also a
member of the La Plcscho family , have been
too many for the combined forces of out
siders , and the allotment hangs lire , while
lenses are likely to remain In force long
enough to get this j car's grazing or hay
product , anyway
On the Wlnnebago lamia n different state
of affairs exists. When attention was
drawn to thc'o vacant lands several ye.irs
ago an Illinois otitilt came In there and
orgmlzed themselves as the Plournoy Live
Stock and lion ) Estate company , and they
lca od some 2S.OOO acres , also for five juars ,
Intending to graze and feed rattle , they say ;
but finding the land so much more valuable
for agriculture , they have broken up the
most of their lands , sublet them to whites ,
and made farms thereof , on which good
crops are lalscd and other Improvements
made. As one of the company said , they
did not como way out hero for their heillh ,
nnd they leased the land from 15 cents per
acre upward , or for what they could get , as
they had the right to do , or thought they
hail , and now calm they have been a great
help and old to the country , for every mi"
knows that land for farming Is compira-
tlvcly worthless the first two jcars after
breaking , the cost of breaking and rough
buildings , even for sholtei , being consider
able , and they will leave the land In good
condition for n new tenant , nnd the Indians
can get , at the expiration of this lease , the
one to two dollais nn acre some claim they
ought to hive as rental for farm lands
When used for grazing alone , or cut closely ,
the grass soon runs out , nnd the land Is
worthless for tint and not broken up
for agriculture This Is the Plournoy com-
piny's story , nnd their matter Is now In
court , Agent Beck having tried to abrogate
the leases
Of course the latter uo of the land suits
Ponder nnd the other towns along the line
of the reserve , as It Increases the number
of white settlers , occupies every quarter
section , and makes more trade and business
for everybody.
From this state of affairs have grown
charges nnd counter charges , crimination and
recrimination , visits to Washington , and
agents sent out from there to Investigate nnd
report , and neither the report or the In
vestigations have been satisfactory on either
sldo Mr. Peebles of Ponder , who Is largely
Interested In the town's prosperity , seems lo
have got Hon. J. Sterling Morton on his
side , as far as Insisting that the allotment
shall bo made and the bill to tax the al
lotted linds passed. When the strikes arc
over perhaps some attention will be paid to
this matter. In fourteen > cnrs more the
lands allotted arc to become the property of
the Indians In fee , nnd they can sell them
To those best posted this seems folly , nnd It
Is predicted that In ten years from that
date , from their absolute ownership , many
will not have a foot of land nnd no money ,
and will again become charges on Thurston
county , the state , or the general govern
ment. The government should hold tltlo
for some years longer. You can't clvlllzo
a tribe In a day , or even In a few years.
JOHN A M'MURPHY.
A YOUNG HERO.
UuselUtli mill Heroic Conduct of n Now
Jcmej School Hoy.
A terrible railroad accident happened in
Hobokcn , N. J. , a little while ago , says
Youth's Companion. An accommodation
train , i mining too fast In the fog , crashed
Into a standing express. There was a
school boy on the express who had been
sitting In the rear car studying his lesson.
As the express train slowed up a feeling
of oppression took hold of him. Ho sud
denly remembered hearing his grandfather
once say that the rear car was the most
dangerous one In the tra.ln , and. acting on nn
Impulse of the moment , ho got up and went
through ono cm Into the third from the
rear. Ho was scarcely seated when he felt
the car crumbling beneath him and found
himself entangled In u mat > s of men and
wreckage.
Wounded and bloody the boy extricated
himself. Above the rush of escaping
steam rose the agonized cries of the un
fortunates pinned beneath the biokcn
timbers. Men were dazed and aghast.
"An axe ! an axe ! " shouted a shrill voice.
* The sohool boy was the first to gather his
wits and start the work of rescue. With
nn axe he saved three or four men before
the older bystanders had begun to think.
Then a cry of horror from another point
called an excited group of men together.
Beneath the wrecked engine , amid the drop
ping coals and escaping steam , was seen
the figure of n nlan. The sight was the
more sickening because the dead locomotive
was liable to topple over any Instant and
crush whatever lay beneath It. There was
a cry for volunteers
The conductor called ; the engineer called ;
but all held back. Not nil ; out of the
crowd came a slight llguie whoso clothes
were torn , whoso face was almost un-
recrgnlzablo from blood and soot , and whoso
hands were black from merciful toll.
"I'll go ! Let me go , quick ! " cried the
schoolboy.
The crowd stood back , while a few made an
effort to stop him ; but the boy Hung himself
undcincnth the locomotive , risking death as
unhesitatingly as ho had skated at recess
Steam hid his movements ; the hugo engine
actually shivered above him , as If deciding
whether to roll upon the young hero or not.
Then there was a shout and men felt a
rising to their throats. Prom under the iron
monster the boy reappeared , dragging nftef
him the man he had gone to save. Now there
were willing hands and plenty of volunteers
after the deed was done. It was i > aU by
those present that no person so distinguished
himself as that schoolboy. When he ap
peared at hla father's door , hours afterward ,
ho sank exhausted upon the threshold , with
clothes torn , with face and hands grimy
and bleeding , and so changed that his
mother's servants did not recognize him.
One of the distinguishing qualities of our
American boyhood Is Its readiness to accept
responsibility. Unselfish and Jiorolc conduct
Is not a product of age , but of Instinctive
nobility , which It is pleasant to know that
the pupil at any school may possess equally
with the man of maturor years.
SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANIES.
Tliuy Cut n CoiiHlilciulilu I'lguro In the
llimiieex of the Kmplro btuto.
According to the report of the state super
intendent of banks the safe deposit com
panies of New York state are beginning to
cut qulto a figure In its finances. There
ore twelve In New York , three In Brooklyn ,
and ono each In Albany , Buffalo , Rochester
and Blnghamton ,
The total capital at the beginning of the
year , says the New York Sun , was J.I,693,000 ,
and they had In bonds , loans and debts out
standing about (1,300,000 of liability Their
resources Included more than ? 2,000,000 In
real estate , $750,000 In vaults and safes ,
$100,000 In cash , and Investments to the
amount of $1,500,000. Their surplus over lia
bilities , which represents profit from their
operation , above dividends , was $421,000 on
January 1.
The Lincoln Safe Deposit company on
Forty-second street , opposite the Grand Cen
tral station , at which Thomas L. James Is
president , owns real estate to the value of
$1,400,000. This company was established In
1881. The Amorcan Safe Deposit company ,
corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-second
street , was established in 1882. It owns real
estate to the value of $317,000 , which Is
more than Its capital stock.
The Bankers' Sato Deposit company on the
corner ct Broadway and Wall street was es
tablished In 1880 The Garficld Safe Deposit
company was established In 1888. Its vaults
and eafea cost $81,000.
The New York Safe Deposit company ,
which Is the pioneer In this line , was estab
lished In 18C1. U paid In dividends last year
$22,000 , and has besides a cash surplus of
$95,000 There Is practically little risk In
the conduct of uafe deposit companies , otico
the "plant" of safes and vaults Is paid for

CZAR MARTIN'S ' RENT ROLL

There Is n rather peculiar sta'e of affairs
In the district court at present. This con-
slHtH In the fact that M. P. Martin , ( hu land
lord of nine-tenths of the nbindoncd women
In the burnt district , has come Into court
with n motion protesting ngitlnst the occu
pancy of his houses In that locality for pur
poses of pros Itutlon. The situation arises
from the litigations which have In on woven
about Martin's | roperty for some tlmo past.
Among the plaintiffs who went Into court to
collect claims against the czar of the half
world was Annetlo C. Carter. On her pe
tition Judge Scott appointed the sheriff ns
a temporary receiver to take charge of Mar
tin's property This was on July 7 and jcs-
tcrdiiy the case was to come up on the mo
tion for the appointment of a permanent re
ceiver
But the motion of Martin pn's the matter
In a different light Since the temporary
receiver was appointed the property his been
technically In the hands of the court and yes
terday was presented the Bpccticlo of His
well known landlord of n score of b.iwdy
houses petitioning the district court to aba u
the criminal nuisance which was being main
tained on the premises over which the court
now had jurisdiction
When the ease was called Judge Scott
said that ho had heard that the property
In controversy was useit for purposes of
prostitution , but no showing of this fact had
been made b ° fore the court. Ho wanted
some light thrown on the matter , ns ho did
not propose to have the court placed In the
position of having charge of houses of Ill-
fame The attorneys In the case retired
to the judge's private room nnd hold a con
sultation , after which It was announced
that they had agreed to continue the vvhola
piocecdings until September 1 This was
therefore ordered , nnd the temporary re
ceivership was continued until th it date.
Tim consequence Is , that the sheriff s olllto
will bo the custodian of Martin's property
for another six weeks. 'j
The sheriff's report for the tlmo during *
which ho has had charge of the property ]
was submitted to the court. It shows *
that Martin's statements made at the time ,
when The Bee published certain facts regird-
lug his treatment of Ills tenants , nnd tlo
exorbitant rents ho exacted from these un
fortunates , to bo utterly false. At tint tlmo
Martin contended that oven nt the exorbi
tant rates at which his houses were rentqd
ho lost so much mpncy through the failure
of the tenants to pay that it was Impossible
for him to make anything. The report of ,
the receiver shows that with two exceptions
every ono of his tenants had paid her rent
foi some time In advance Ono Is In arrears
for tinco months , and ono for ono month ,
nnd the remainder are paid up cither to
August 1 or to some tlmo In July.
