If S. F. B. Morse , the general passenger
and ticket agent of the Southern Pacific's
Atlantic division , or any of his subordinate
officers ehould wander Into the passenger
department of the Union Pacific headquarters
they would not bo at all kindly received.
It's all because the former road , through its
passenger representatives In New Orleans ,
made a contract for through travel to the
prize fight which was unpleasant In the ex
treme before all of its provisions were car
ried out , at least It was to the railroad com
panies ,
The Southern Pacific arranged , for a
through car from New Orleans to Caraon
for the prize light via Fort Worth , Denver
and Cheyenne. When the train left New
Orleans last Thursday It had but one pas
senger. His name was E. Curtis , a busings
man of the Crescent City , who Insisted that
as ho had to keep all contracts ho made In
the business world , the railroad companies
should keep their contract with him. Ho
had paid for a rldo to Careen In a through
car. without change , and ho was determined
to liavo It , and ho did. Ono of his ankles
wns burtly sprained , and that was the prin
cipal reason why ho Insisted that ho should
not bo tiansferred whllo cnroute from New
Orleans to Carson.
When the train arrived at Fort Worth ,
Tex. , Mr. Curtis was the solo occupant of the
car. The agsnt there informed Curtis that
owing to the small number ot passengers
traveling ho would have to move Into another
cur , as the one occupied by himself would bo
cul out at Fort Worth. Curtis refused
flatly to budco on Inch and the car was per
mitted to remain In the train. Several at
tempts wcro made between Fort Worth and
Denver to oust Curtis , but ho would not bo
minted , All sorts of schemes were resorted
to , but without aval ) . Curtis was going tn
Careen and in that car. The railway olllclals ,
fearing that the company would be liable
to a damage suit If the car was sot out , pef-
tuUtcd It to proceed. At Denver another
effort was made to get rid ot Curtis or trans

made the agreement so that It could not

railway men say that this Is the first In

had been forced Into a long haul of a car by

without parallel for many years , at least the

Solicitor Manderson of the B. & M. jes-

Perkins and other officials they have been out
over the road for the past ten days. They
did cot go to Billings , but after going
through the Black Hills went over the lines
In this state and out to Colorado.
To a Bee reporter , who asked him If any
places wore- found where the Burlington
would build during the coming year , Mr.
Holdrego said : "No , wo founi no such
places. I doubt very much If the Burlington
will do any building this year. The line
Is In very good condition and the whole state
of Nebraska looks well. " General Manderson
added : "All the prospects are that there
will bo another big crop of corn next year.
I think I ne\er saw the state looking In as
flno condition , and as for the Burlington's
lines , why they are Just all right. "

About a fortnight ago The Bco printed a
brief Interview with General Manager Dlck-
ineon of the Union Pacific , In which that
official said that the business of the road
was running considerably ahead of what It
had been a year ago. The report of the re-
publlahed by The Bee. bears out the state
ment of Mr. Dickinson. The Increase ot
$164,974 In the net earnings for January was
almost entirely duo to larger freight trans
portation. The Increase In freight carplnga
to thu month compared with the same month
last year was 12 per cent. The Improve
ment resulted from a large movement of live
Block , which was brought into Nebraska and
Kansas to be fed , on account of the largo
available amount of corn In that region.
The larger earnings wcro also attributable ,
loan extent , to the fact that the more north

by snow.

NEWPORT , Ky. , March 20. Scott Jackson
and Alonzo Walling \vcro hanged hero
today for the murder of Pearl Uryan
In 1SOC. Although the two men
were hanged simultaneously from a
double trap that fell on pulling the same
lever there were no special Incidents at the
gallows. The scenes were those that ordi
narily take place on such occasions. Doth
men wcro cool and nervy to the last and
they died protesting their Innocence and 'de
claring that their confessions wcro false and
made for effect on the governor. The morn
ing hours preceding the execution were , how
ever , full of exciting scenes. The plan to
gain tlmo for Jackson and possibly a respite
for Walling was worked from early morning
up until the men started to the gallows. In
the morning Jackson made another confes
sion , In which he said Walling was not guilty
of murder and Governor Uradley was tele
graphed accordingly. Many false reports
were teen clrculateJ about a respite being
granted Walling and these reports caused
much excitement among the large crowds as
sembled In the vicinity of the Jail.
At times there wcro apprehensions of
trouble , but the local police force and the
deputy sheriffs were ceslatcd by a lago
force of inllltla and order was maintained
throughout the forenoon. When It was an
nounced that Governor Urndley had ordered
thu execution of both men In proceed and
that there would bo no interference what
ever , there were continued shouts of ap
proval. The scaffold was In the court yard ,
where It could bo seen by many thousands
of people ftom the surrounding buildings ,
and there \vas a great demonstration when
thu black flag was hoisted as a signal that
the execution was over. Thcao signals were
also holstu" In Covlngton and Cincinnati ,
where there was as much excitement as
hero over the false reports about Walling
being respited for four days. As soon as
the execution was over the crowds dispensed
and the bodies of the men were taken away
by their friends , but the large number of
visitors remained In the city and were In
groups expressing their satisfaction over the
result. Quite -a largo party of friends of
the Bryan family wcro present from Grecn-
rastlo and they were very much exercised
over the suspense of the forenoon ,
STOHY OP THE CRIME.
In the early morning of February 1 , 1SOC ,
a boy going to work discovered ths dead body
of a girl In an obscure part of John Lock'a
farm , adjoining Fort Thomas. Ky. The mur-
dereis had cut off the girl's head to prevent
Identification , and removed It to some place
that has never been discovered. Ths only
garments on the body were a union undcr-
sult and a cheap checked wrapper. A pair
of yhoes lay near , also a lld glove , two hair
pins and a few strands of blonde hair. The
shoes were a woman's No. 3 , and on them
was an opera toe rubber , well worn. Inside
the shoes , which were of the neeilletoe de-
ssrlptlon , was the stamp of Lewla & Hayes
of Grcencastle , with a Portsmouth , 0. , firm
as the makers. Nearby was a white corset ,
spotleaa except from bloody finger prints.
At the top of the bank where the feat lay
was a pool of blocd. This spot was In tlic
gap of a private hedge on which remained
dead leaves. On both sides of these leaves ,
above and below , were drops of blood. At
the foot of thu bank near the neck wsa
another pool of blood. On that morning
these few garments were the * only claws
to the Identity of the dead girl. Blood
hounds wcro taken to the spot , and they
followed a trail to the Covlngton reservoir
and could bo induced to go no further. The
reservoir was drained , but the head was not
found. AH subsequent search for the head
has been fruitless.
IDENTIFIED WEARING APPAREL.
Four dajs later the shoes , the glove , the
hairpins and the wrapper were Identified at
Greencastle , Ind. , by her parents as belonging
to Pearl Bryan , the daughter of A. S. Bryan ,
a well-to-do farmer living near Greencastle.
This Identification of the girl was brought
about by Sheriff Julo Plummer of Camp
bell county , Kentucky , who had followed the
slender clews furnished by the shoes and
garments to a successful 'Issue. This dis
covery also Identified Scott Jackson and
Alonzo Walling as the perpetrators of the
crime. These young men were roommates
and fellow students In the dental college at
Cincinnati. Scott Jackson spent several
months of the summer and car.y autumn of
1S95 at Grecneastle , Imas \ a member of
the family of his brotber-ln-Iaw , Dr. Edwin
F. Pest , a professor In the DePauw univer
sity. There he became acquainted with Will
Wood , a lad 20 years old , the son of Rev.
Deles M. Wood , presiding elder of the Meth
odist Episcopal church , residing at Green-
castle. Through Will Wood , who was a second
end cousin to Pearl Brjan , he obtained an
Introduction to her and visited her fre
quently. She was a graduate of the Grcon-
caatlo High school , was vivacious , pretty ,
fond of society and very popular. Jackbon
when absent kept up a correspondence with
her , which was continue. ! until within a
fortnight of the day of iiur murder. The last
two or three months of this correspondence
was carried on clandestinely. will Wood
was the medium at Greencastle by which
these letters were passed to their destina
tion.
AUTHOR OF HER RUIN.
Jackeon'a last visit to Gri-encastle was In
the holidays of 1895-9G. A few persons at
Grcncastlc , confidants of Jackson , knew
that Pearl Bryan was In a do Icate condition.
To ono of these , Dr. Qlllesple , a dentist
with whom Jackson worked , also a relative
of Pearl Bryan , Jackson admitted that he
was the author of Pearl Bryan's trouble.
Gtllesplo during the holiday vacation ad
vised Jackson to marry bcr. He said that
Uo would not do anything of the kind. There
were others who knew about the affair ,
among them Will Wood and Mr , Early , a
telegraph operator at Greencastle. Through
Will Wood , some tlmo In December , 1895 ,
Jackson had sent Pearl Bryan a letter , con
taining a prescription of ergot of rye and
other Ingredients Intended to produce an abor.
tlon , The girl nevsr got the prescription
filled. Jackson visited her In the vacation
and destroyed the letter and the prescription.
Meantime Jackson and Walling were
arrested In Cincinnati , In their possession
were found letters , chiefly from Will Wood
to Jackson In regard to Pearl Hryan. Pearl
Bryan's pocketbook and her valise , which
was btalued with blood , were fouud where
Jackron had secreted them. Walllng's
pantaloons were taken from his locker at the
dental college and they were muddy and
spotted with blood. Jackson's coat , flecked
all over with blood , was fished out of a
sewer In which It was found by Waiting's
direction. In Jackson'H pocket were a half
dozen handkerchiefs , which were afterwards
Identified as the property of Pearl Bryan.
PRISONERS ACCUSE EACH OTHER ,
In the examination by Chief Seltch the
prisoners admitted that Pearl Bryan had
coino hero Monday , January 27 , and that
both of them had been with her until
Wednesday afternoon , after which cacti
charged the other with having her In his
care , and each declared that he had seen
nothing ot her afterwards. Both admitted
that on the Saturday night following the
murder they bad gone to the suspension
bridge on the river and dropped her bloody
clothing Into the river to hide it and to
conceal the crime. On Friday night at 7
o'clock Jackson , was teen to leave Dave
Walllngford'a saloon in the tenderloin
district with Pearl Bryan In a hack , and at
the same tlmo Walllug was seen near the
saloon. On Thursday afternoon before the
murder Walling was seen with Pearl Bryan
at the Central Union station , where he de
tained her until the last train that could taku
her to areencaelle had gono.

TFIIAL , OF THE ACCUSED.
Through this evidence Jackson was tried
at Newport and found guilty and sentenced
to bo hanged. His trial continued from
April 21 to May 14. Ho was ably defended
by Colonel L. J. Crawford , whllo the prow-
cutlon waa assisted by R , W- Nelson of New
port and llas Hates of Greencastle. On
May 2S Walllng's trial began and on Juno 18
he wr.u found guilty of murder and sentenced
to die. Since that time Walling and Jack
son have remained in the Covlngton Jail ,
which is moro secure thap tho. Newport Jail.
Kvcry means In the power of the friends of
these two men were exhausted to save them
from their fate without success.
Scott Jaclwon Is 28 years olJ. five feet six

Walling Is five feet nine 'Inches high , has

In temperament he In/FtollQ and morose !
Ho Is evidently deficient In rensllilllty and
force of character which made him all the
more pliant aa Jackson's tbol and assistant.
In his own confession and"evidence ho stated
that Jackson had told him that ho would
bring Pearl Bryan here to have an abortion
performed on her by Walling , and then
afterward said ho would kill her by quick
poison , and finally changed his mind and
said lie would poison her , cut her to pieces
and put the pieces Into catch basins of the
bowers. From January 1. 180G , to the day
of the tragedy all the evidence showed that
ho was Scott Jackson'o willing confederate.
JACKSON'S BODY CREMATED.
The remains of Scott Jackson were Incin
erated tonight at the Cincinnati crematory.
His mother Is opposed to cremation , but had
the body Incinerated so that she could take
the ashes to her homo at Greencastle , Ind. ,
and not suffer the mortification ot being
refused burial there. The widowed mother
was unable to bear the expense of taking the
remains to their old home In Maine , as at
first contemplated.

street are flooded and the water Is now In
places pouring over Main etrcet , which is on
a five-foot grade. The southeast portion of
the residence district Is under water , due
to the water backing up from the main river.
Horses and cows are being removed to higher
ground , and a number of hogs were drowned.

THREE BRIDGES GO OUT.
VERMILLION , S. D. , March 20. ( Special
Telegram. ) Three wagon bridges went out
this afternoon. Half the piles In the railroad
bridge west of the city arc knocked out. A
big Ice gorge has formed on the Missouri
south of the city. The Vcrmllllon river rose
two feet this afternoon and Is over Its bank
in many places. A terrible flood can only be
averted by speedy clearing ot the Ice from
the river.
YANKTON , S. D. . March 20. ( Special
Telegram. ) Late this afternoon the Ice In
the Missouri river began moving slowly out.
It gorged several times and la now gorged
above and below this city , the largest gorge
being about two miles below , it Is impos
sible at present to tell how strong the gorges
are. If they provo strong and there should
be a large amount of water above It Is feared
that considerable damage will be done by
a general overflow. James river Is now bank
full and reports reach this city that the
water has not started from above yet.
Trouble Is expected with this stream.
HURON , S. D. , March 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) James river , creeks and low plains
are fast filling with water , and miniature
lakes are forming In every direction from
snow rapidly melting during the past three
days. It Is freezing tonight and the flood
will be temporarily checked. Farmers along
the river have removed their sheds and stock
to higher ground and anchored the moro
permanent buildings to prevent their being
carried away. Wagon bridges across streams
and draw bridges are In danger , particu
larly those spanning tbo James river. In
the city low places are submerged , and side
walks In many places arc under water. The
Chicago & Northwestern railway is experi
encing difficulty in operating trains. Pas
sengers on the south line for
points beyond Salem were brought back
to this city last night and no tickets were
sold to stations south ot Hurley today , be
cause of the high water and dangerous eor = -
dltlon ot bridges. The assistant superintendent
and Telegraph Superintendent Catselman are
out on the south line with a gang of men
strengthening the bridges. Trains on the
west line are only operated In daylight
until better conditions prevail. It Is re
ported tonight that the track west of Hlgh-
moro Is washed out. Tioublo Is feared on
the east line. The Sioux river Is very high
and the wrter U covering the low lands.
The bridge spanning the James river Is per
fectly safe. Officials of the road are using
the utmost precautions In operating trains.

MEMPHIS , Tenn. . March 20. Alarming re
ports are being received In the city tonight
of breaks In the levees both north and south
of Memphis. Government officials state that
the Icvco broke at Sans Soucl , Ark. , late last
night , ami that a torrent of water is pouring
Into the low lands of Arkansas , adding to
the misery and suffering already prevalent
thero. Other reports tire that tbn levee lies
broken between Memphis and Helena , but
nothing definite can bo learned as yet. It
Is known that the river Is pouring over the
levee at Modoc , near Helena , Ark. , and a
break Is momentarily expected.
Whllo the river Is reported as stationary
at Memphis by' the weather bureau , the sit
uation Is regarded as the most ferlous since
the big floo'l set In. Of the eleven railroads
entering this city , all but two are tied up on
account of the deluge. The official bulletin
tent out b > the weather bureau tonight indi
cates that thn river has remained stationary
luring the thirty-six hours ending tonight.
In the face of the warning sent out from
Washington yesterday calling upon residents
of the districts threatened by floods to pre
pare for an oven greater rlbu during tbo next
tun days , the fact that the river has been
stationary during the past thirty-six hours ,
cannot bo taken as Indicating that the crest
of the high water has been reached. The
river Is again rising at Cincinnati and
throughout the Ohio valley. At Cairo the
river continues to rise.
The relief boats continue to make regular
trips over the district , both above and below
the city , rescuing people and stock , which
are brought to Memphis to bo cared for.

little fear of trouble , A telegram from
Sioux City stated that the Ice at that point
bad gone out shortly before 8 o'clock , and
that the water had reached a point about
three feet higher than upon the previous

upon the larger stream ,
At Omaha last night tbo gauge on the
Douglas street bildge showed that the water
wan but six inches higher than upon Friday.
Tbero was but little ic ? floating In the river

the prospects for tbo river gorging between
hero and Sioux City , or below tlila city , were
now slight , and that there would bo uo Inconvenience -

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
Of Mie Pyramid Pile Cure.
Is the fact that It cures every form of plica
without one particle of pain. This deslrablo
point Is not obtained by the use of Injurious
opiates which simply deaden and paralyze
the nerves of the parts and make matters
worse In the long run. But It Is done solely
by Its remarkable healing and soothing
effects.
And whllo It thus gives Immediate relief ,
at the same tlmo the disease Is not merely
checked , but a radical euro Is rapidly accom
plished.
And the point wo want to make clear Is
that all this Is done without a particle ot
pain.This
This fact Is ono reason for the great pop
ularity of the Pyramid Pile euro and con
stitutes ono very great difference between It
and almost any otlior kind ot treatment for
plies. '
Every kind of surgical operation for piles
Is cxcruclallngly painful besides endangering
the life of the patient , and In most ceses la
not to bo comprcd with the Pyramid Cure ,
neither In making successful cures without
pain nor In cheapness and safety ,
The Pyramid Pllo Cure has been before
the public too long and Its merlin recog
nized by too many people to allow It to bo
clasacd with the many salves , suppositories ,
pills , etc. , and you run no rink In trying It ,
as Is often the caeo with new anil untried
preparations.
If you arc ever troubled with any form ! ot
piles or rectal disease , do not forgot the
Pyramid Pllo Cure , Prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Co. , ot Albion , Mich. , and sola
by druggists at CO ccntx per package.
