Assistant Grand Chief Dolphin of llio
Order of Hallway Telegraphers , IB In the
of Mnatcr-ln-Clmn-
city awalllnR the return
cery CornUh from Now York. On the Int-
ter'n return the case of P. B. Ollllland , the
Union Pacific agent at 1'apllllon , who was
discharged In May. will bo taken up for
consideration hy the master's court. Dolphin
phin ta acting as ( lllllland's solicitor In the
matter , and will tomorrow file a reply to
the statement of the receivers showing the
cause- for Olllllnnd'n dismissal. The case
promises to attract unusual attention among
both railway officials and subordinate em
ployee.
In the amended petition of Gllllland and
the other complainants against the ncta of
the receivers of the Union Pacific the hos
pital fund matter Is prominent.
The petitioners allege that the managing
omciclH have been collecting from employee *
a certain sum each month for n hospital
fund and tliU the system , which was In
augurated before the company passed Into
the hands cf thn receivers , has been con
tinued under their management. The peti
tioners ask the court to decree that the re
ceivers arc simply trustees of the fund.
They also allege that the books and reports
of the receivers show conslderablo balance
In said fund and that large sums arc added
to It monthly by the deductions from the
pay of the men.
The petitioners aver that prior to the ap
pointment cf the receivers the fund was ad
ministered entirely by .the managing olll-
clals of the campany and the employes kept
In complete Ignorance of the amount col
lected or the manner of Ita disbursement ,
no statements ever having been rendered of
the disposition of the fund and that no
different method has boon adopted slnco.
The employed , It Is alleged , have contended
fcr years for n representation on the board
which handled thcso funds , but this has
been denied and this they now aslt the
court to decree shall be allowed them. They
fldmlt that In a great measure the trust has
been administered In the past In a satis
factory manner , but that there are Instances
where the contrary Is true and frequent
ubuces have crept In to the detriment of
the men who rontrlbuto the funds to main
tain the hospital system. One of the dis
advantages Is that men employed at places
remote from hospitals , where It was 1m-
posslblo to be reiuo\c < l to them , have been
ojmpellcd to pay for their own medical
attendance and at the same tlmo have been
contributors to the hospital fund. This U
particularly true of telegraphers , they allege
lege- , from the nature of their employment.
They also aver that In many Instances
Incompetent physicians have been employed
and also that physicians have taken advant-
aga of their position to do Injustice to em
ployes.
Under the present system there U no sat
isfactory method by which the employes can
obtain the Information they believe- they are
entitled to In regard to the collection and
dtalmrjcmcnt of the money \\lilclt Is col
lected from them , and that while the system ,
If properly administered , la n ben
eficial one , yet In practice they bt -
llcvo It can bo greatly Improved.
Other syxtcms of railroads , they allege , have
adopted the system of giving the men repre
sentation on the board which administered
the fund , mid this they csk the court to
grant them on the Union Pacific system.
The Union Pacific receivers have not yet
been cited to appear In this matter , and BO
far Mastcr-ln-Chancery Corulsh has uot
taken up the matter for consideration. This
Is because the hospital cnso came Into the
petition as nn amendment. The master's
court will consider one thing at a time , and
disposition will lie made of the case con-
coinlng Gllllland'o discharge before the hos
pital matter Is taken up.

Freight TralHc Manager MUD roe of the
Union Pacific has returned from St. Paul ,
where he has been In conference with the
freight officials of the Northern Pacific , the
Great Northern and the Oregon Hallway &
Navigation company. Asked as to the result
of 'the conference , Mr , Mini roe replied :
"Portland terminal rates will bo reduced to
the San Kraiiclsco basis from Missouri river.
Mississippi river , Chicago , Duffalo and Pitts-
burg territories. The new tariffs will bo
Issued within n few days. The Portland
people have been clamoring for some tlmo
for n readjustment of thcso rates , and the
action of the meeting will doubtless be
gladly received by them. "
Mr. .Munroo upcnt a portion of the morning
In drafting his letter of declination to the
board of organization of the new Western
Traffic association. He did not receive the
letter formally notifying him that ho had
been selected as ono of the board of ad
ministration until yesterday morning. It had
been gem-rally believed that the length of
t-ervlco for members of this boaid would
bo from the present until the last of 1S9S.
Mr. Munroo's letter of notification shows ,
however , that the term lasts three months
longer. It continues until April 1 , 1899 ,
though the agreement of the road * In the
traffic association will bo In force only until
the end of U9S.
The short tenure of offlco was not the only
reason for Mr. Munroo's declination of the
honor tendered him. He said that ho had
nlwa > s been In active railroad work and
preferred to continue in that service. He
had lived In the Missouri valley for a long
tlmo and hod no desire to leave It. He had
many clo.-.o associations with Omaha , which
ho did not cnro to sever. Mr. Munroo stated
that ho did not know whether thu other
gentlemen seleeti-d would would
or not ac
cept It. U was suggested that the men most
drslrcd for the board of administration could
not be secured on short terms , and that
rumor had It that offers would now bo made
to them for five years Mr Munroo replied
that ho heard of no such report and took
mi stock In It.
U h pretty well understood in railway
clrclui that General Freight Agent Parker
of the Missouri Pacific will accept. In fact ,
It Is thought that Mr. Munroo will bo the
only official who will decline the appoint
ment. Speculation concerning the name that
will now be submitted Is rlfo among rail
roaders. In addition to P. P. Shelby , whoso
name has -already been mentioned In this
connection , that of J , S. Leeds of St. Louis
has been suggested. Ho was the predecessor
ser of General Freight Agent Parker of the
Missouri Pacific , and was dlcharged by the
Goulds for manipulating sugar rates In an
unsatisfactory manner. At present ho Is
'ho commissioner of a commercial club In
St. Louis. An ho has spent most of his
tlmo slnco leaving the railway service In

The passenger agents of the Nebraska and
Iowa roads arc commencing to got con
siderable business on account of political
rallies. They are still sore on William
Jennings Ilryan , however , for when he was
nominated they predicted that It would be
a good thing for nil the roads In this part
of the country. They dreamed of lengthy
and numerous special trains from all
Quarters of the globe to Lincoln , but they
have been sadly disappointed. In Juno
they wondered whether they could get
coaches enough to carry the people to the
homo of the free silver candidate.
The only Increase In travel on account
of the campaign hereabouts Is that to
political parades and meetings. In most
cases three have been short hauls , and
special rates have been made for the
< ccaslons. Hut from now until flection day
all the roads In the elate will do a big
business. Special trains nro being asked for
continually , and good rates are being de
manded and secured for them. The Hurl-
Ington has requests for on average of five
special trains a day from now until Tues
day next for political meetings along Us
line. The Klkhorn. the Missouri Pacific ,
the Union Pacific and the Itock Island also
have similar requests. This class of busi
ness pays well , and the passenger men arc
glad to get It. Dut even with this boom that
they will enjoy for n week the men who
hustle for passenger business say they can
not help feeling that the boy orator h.is
treated them shabbily.

men In the various headquarters signified
their Intention of participating In the
parade , and the hearty manner In which
they look up with the Idea gave the lie to
all talk about ! coercion.
At noon over 200 men In the Union Pacific
headquarters had agreed to march In the
parade. Among the number were General
Manager Dickinson , Superintendent of Car

Ycung , Freight Traffic Manager Munroo ,
Chief Knglncer Pegram , General Passenger

section of the "Fast Mall. " consisting of an
engine and live cars , will be run to accommo

this will have no effect upon the segregation

Elmer S. Dundy , for thirty-three years
United States district Judge for Nebraska ,
died at his residence In this city yesterday
aftcinoon shortly after 4 o'clock. He had
been 111 for some time.with neuralgia of the
stomach and- his death was duo to that ail
ment.
Ho was past GG years of age , having been
born In Trumbull county , Ohio , March C ,
1S30. His parents were natives of the same
county , but of German descent. During his
youth he resided at home but n small portion
tion of his time , which wcs occupied partly
In attending school and In the roving Jour
neys not uncommonly taken by a boy In his
teens. Early In life ho moved to Pennsyl
vania with his parents. Ho had no educa
tion save what little ho obtained In the
common schools of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
At the nge of 18 ho commenced teaching ,
which profession ho followed for several
years. At 20 ho began the study of law In
the office of W. A. Wallace of Clcarflcld , Pa , ,
an attorney who ranked high In that com
monwealth. In 1S53 Judge Dundy was ad
mitted to the bar at Clcarflcld In the court
of common pleas. After his admission he
continued the practice of law In Clear.lcld
until 1857 , when he removed to this state ,
settling In Richardson county and living
there until Juno , 1SG3. . , ,
There were- perhaps twenty-five people In
Falls City when ho settled there , certainly
no more. He represented Richardson county
for four ycarj In the territorial legislature ,
and at the same time practiced law.
START ON HIS JUDICIAL CAREER.
In 1SG3 President Lincoln appointed Judge
Dundy , then a young' lawyer of 33 years , as
territorial Judge. His associates wore the
well known William Pitt Kellogg and Wil
liam F. Lockwood , the former being chief
Justice. The territorial court , was held In
every organized county In the South Plattc
country.
1ft 1867 Judge Dundy left the bench and
took up the practice of law. On April 9 ,
1863 , JudgeDundy took the oath of office
for the position he held until his death , hav
ing been appointed but a few days before by
President Johnson and confirmed by the sen
ate the fallowing day. The young federal
judge took the oath of office before the ra-
nawncd David K. Carter of the District of
Columbia , a gentleman distinguished alike
for his splendid Interpretation of law and
an unfortunate Impediment In his speech.
The first term of the United States court
held by Judge Dundy was In the old capltol
building then situated on the present High
school grounds ; another term was held In
Rcdlck's opera house , northwest corner of
Sixteenth and Farnam ; a third , at the old
Congregational church Just adjoining and
then the court was placed on wheels figura
tively and sessions were held alternately at
Douglas , between Thirteenth and Four
teenth ; the old county court house , Cald-
wcll'o block , Brown's hall on Fourteenth ,
between Farnam and Douglas , now occupied
by Hcafcy & Heafcy ; a hall on Farnani
street ; Simpson's hall on Fourteenth , be
tween Douglas and Dodge. At the time the
present government building was completed
court was being held at the old Congrega
tional church.
When the court was held In the old Con
gregational church Robert J. Ingcrsoll tried
a cause there.
In 1872 , while Judge Dundy was oi'i a
doer hunt at North Plattp. ho sustained a
severe fracture of the leg. It Is but Indica
tive of the remarkable grit and force which
has characterized Nebraska's federal Judge
that during the tlmo ho was confined to his
home with a broken leg he listened to nnd
disposed of forty-three cases.
FIRST FEDERAL COURT IN DENVER.
In 1S7C Judge Dundy presided at the first
term of the United States court held In
Denver , that being before a federal Judge
was appointed for < hat 'district. Twice ho
had presided In Kansas.
Ono of the Important questions to which
Judge Dunity devoted much attention nnd
study was the question of Jurisdiction of the
federal government over the Union Pacific
railway , Involving the right of the Union
Pacific to sue and bo sued In the federal
court.
When Judge Dillon came on the bench
the two considered the question fully. Judge
Dillon held that the federal court held no
Jurisdiction over the Union Pacific. Judge
Dundy held the contrary Opinion , and sub
sequently the latter was sustained In his
opinion by the supreme court.
In 1875 Judge Dundy was a candidate for
the position of United States senator , but
failed to secure a majority In the repub
lican caucus , \\hlch nominated General John
M. Thayer. Thereupon Judge Dundy threw
his strength to Algernon S. Paddock , who
was elected over Thayer by securing the
vote of Independents and democrats. In
1881 Judge Dundy was agalu a candidate
for senator , but after a protracted nnd
exciting contest the legislature elected Gen
eral Charles H. Van Wyck to that position.
Judge Dundy was a resident of Falls City ,
Richardson county , up to 1S7G , when ho
removed to Omaha , where ho took up his
permanent home. '
A few years ago Judge Dundy Injured
ono of his legs while tobogganing at Hot ,
Springs , S. D. Since then ho had been quite
lame. Ho had also been 111 from other ail
ments.
Early last spring when waning health
gave notice that a relaxation from work
waa necessary , Judge Dundy and his family
left for nn Oriental tour , which Included
Japan , China and other Asiatic countries.
Upon the return of Mr. Dundy his gen
eral health was supposed to have been
fairly restored.
Ho was married In Omaha , In 18G3 , to
Miss Mary H. Robinson , a native of Ohio.
They have three children , Elmer S. , ory
May and Luna L. Miss Luna Dundy married
Henry Newman , a prominent merchant of
New York City. Another daughter , Elva A- .
died on August 20 , 1870 , at the ago of
20 months.

Judge Powell made an order yesterday

In accordance with Instructions given sonic
time ago , J , W. Thomaa , the receiver , made
a partial report to the court yesterday
on the condition of the affaire of the bank.
Ho reported that ho had not had sufficient
tlmo in which to make a detailed report , but
had Investigated the affairs and accounts
of the bank sufficiently to know that tbo

bilities within a reasonable time. Ho said
that 50 per cent of tho. capital stock still
remained unpaid , and that the stockholders
were still liable for this amount In addi
tion to the constitutional liability Imposed
upon them by the laws of the state. The
receiver asked for nn order authorizing
htm to proceed against the stockholders.
After hearing the report Judge Powell
entered an order authorizing the receiver
to proceed to collect from ( ho stockholders
any and all amounts for which they arc
liable to the bank , cither upon unpaid sub.

The receiver was given authority to take

Mrs. Minnie Tnrlotnn , a colored woman ,
living at 117 South Tenth street , wanted to
dlo Tuesday night , but with the return of the
morning's light the hankered after life with
a vim that threw her other desire In the
shade.
The woman took n dose of morphine at 1
o'clock yesterday morning , but was not dis
covered until 3 o'clock. It was then be
lieved that she wai dying from the effects
of the drug. The city physician was hur
riedly summoned , and after laboring over
her for some hours , finally pulled her out
of danger.
After the treatment she became very
sick , and as the morning advanced she
bccamo sicker until she finally came to
the conclusion that she was about to die.
With the dreadful thought before her , ho
Jumped out of her bed , nnd with nothing
on but a sheet , she ran to a neighboring
drug store for assistance. The city phy
sician was once more summoned.
The woman's husband Is a Pullman car
conductor rurnlng out of this city. She
has been In poor health for some time , and
this Is said to have boon the cause of her

further that she has been troubled of late

who has been beckoning her to the other

was killed Monday night by falling from a
farm wagon near the Burlington crossing
on Fourteenth street. From the evidence
of eye witnesses to the accident , It was
shown that Eddlo was catching a ride on
the wagon and that the driver was un
conscious of his presence. Upon Hearing
the crossing a train sped by and frightened
the horses. At the moment they jumped to
one side Freeberg fell beneath the wheels
and the driver , being busily engaged In con
trolling his team , drove on unmindful
of the accident to the boy. The Jury exoner
ated the driver from all blame , and the
verdict was that Freeberg came to his death

Two cases of scarlet fever and several of
diphtheritic croup have been reported to the
health officials during the past two days.
There seems to bo a considerable preva
lence of croup among young children. In
almost every case this Is the result of a cold
which has been allowed to run until It has
developed Into the more dangerous disease ,
The health officials say that at this tlmo
people should bo particularly careful of
their children. Every precaution should betaken
taken to prevent thcon from catching cold
and as soon as a cold develops It should bo
broken up as Boon -possible. . Under pres
ent conditions UiD < rold Is liable to develop
Into croup at any'time and If a cold north
wind should prewilU for a day or two the
consequences would ) bo fatal iu many In
stances.
Many lives of usefulness have been cut
short by neglect tojireak up an ordinary
cold. PneumonialUronchltls and even con
sumption can bo averted by the prompt use
of Ono Mlnuto Gavgh Cure ,

THE 2 MACKS.
Buying a Mackintosh is a good deal like buying a
horse much depends on the man who sells , There
are so many cheap , good-for-nothing Mackintoshes in
the market there is more risk in buying one than a
great many people know , Even dealers cannot al
ways tell the good from the poor. The only way to
be safe in buying is to buy at a safe place. Today we
open up a brand new invoice of safe Mackintoshes on
which you can save from $1,00 to $4.00 each , according
to quality , and which we guarantee to be better value
and better Mackintoshes than have ever been offeree
at the same price. The prices are $2.50 , $4.00 , $5.00 ,
$6.50 , $7.50 and $9.00 , and the qualities are $3.50 to
$14.00 , accord.ng to prices in other stores , The Mack
we sell at $5 oo would be cheap enough at $7,00 and
the Mack we sell at $7.50 is a $12.00 Mack in every-
thiifg except price. The colors are black or navy blue ,
with cape or without. You run no risk in buying a
Mackintosh here.

The city council met In special scfHion at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon to arrange
for the publication of the location ot the
voting precincts anil the boundaries of the
districts In two newspapers , as required
hy law and the writ of mandamus Issued
by Judge Keysor. Wheeler brought the
matter up by ottering a resolution which
recited the allegation that the council was
not obliged to make the publication unless
It wanted to , but that since It was thought
advisable to obey the writ the city clerk
was authorized to Insert the notice In the
Evening World-Herald and the Omaha Mer
cury. Kcnnard seconded the resolution and
Mercer offered an amendment that the words
"Omaha Mercury" bo stricken out and
"Omaha Evening Beo" Inserted. Allan and
Jayncs seconded the amendment and all
the members took a turn at UlB&upslng the
proposition. Wheeler and Hascall were
especially anxious that the original resolu
tion should pass. In fact Wheeler was so
anxious that he solemnly stated that the
Mercury was published on Friday , when
every ono knew that It was not published
till Saturday , which would be too late for
the service required.Ho also stated that
the Mercury would make a very low rate ,
but submitted no definite proposition to that
effect.
Christie , Jaynes , ningham and Mercer con
tended that since It was necessary that the
publication should bo made It should be
put where the voters could see It. They
stated that the Mercury was a weekly paper
which they had never seen more than once
or twlco themselves and a publication In
the manner suggested would bo a mere
farce.
City Attorney Conucll advised the council
that It would not bo answerable If It re
fused to obey the writ , as the members of
the council had not been bcforo the court.
He advised them , however , that It would
be better to comply. Ho declared that the
Mercury was a paper of general circula
tion within tbo meaning of the law and
that a publication In It would answer the
purpose.
Hascall called for a division of the ques
tion and on the motion to strike out the
words "Omaha Mercury" the vote was :
Yens Allan , Axford , Dlngham , Durkley ,
llurmcster , Christie , Jayncs , Mercer ,
Thomas , President Sauudcrs 10. Nays
Henowa , Hascall , Kcnnard , Taylor , Wheeler
5. On the motion to Insert the words
"Omaha Evening Deo" Denowa and Hascall
also voted "aye , " and on the final roll call
Wheeler and Kcnnard were the only ones
who voted against the amended resolution ,
Taylor voting for It under protest nnd with
much evidence of dissatisfaction.
Several appointments by tbo mayor , of
judges and clerks of election to (111 ( vacancies
were confirmed.
The city treasurer was authorized by resolution
elution to transfer to the sinking fund any
funds raised by special assessments In
bonded districts against which no obliga
tions remained for thu purpose ot protecting
the credit of the city , and also to borrow
such amounts as might bo needed from
the banks. Ho was also Instructed tu offer
for sale warrants aggregating $15,000 that
had been drawn upon sidewalk funds , for
which the taxes had not been collected and
which had been a draft on the general fund.
Small balances In tbo viaduct funds and the
dog fund were ordered turned Into the gen
eral fund ,
