The improvement - provement of the track nnd roal.bed and the purchase of aeverni thousand now freight cars are to be followed up by the contrtictIon of ten new locomotives do- zlaned for heavy freight service on the Wyoming dIvInon at the road. The contracts for building the now engines - gines have just been awarded. Eight of them will be built at the I3rook Locomo- five works at IDunkirk , N. Y. The other two are t be built by the chenetady ho- comotlvo worke at Schenectady , N. V The entire lot Is to be built on plans turntRhcct by the department of motive power and machinery In this city. and work on con- truction wilt be begun at once It is cx- pected that. they vlII be delivered to the Union Pacific hero by October 1. The contracts Just gtven out by I'residcnt Burt nrc the first for Union l'acItlc locomotives - tives to be awarded since iSDO. fletween forty and fifty now engines have been ndded ninco then. but they have been built at the Union Pacific shops in Omaha , The Inst outido order In 1SDO was for now engines - gines built by ho I3rooka , the Cooke , the Rogers and the Baldwtn locomotIve works. The contract just announced Is the first one that calls for any Schenectady cnalts on the Union Pacific road. The Schenec- tatly works have been building the locomotives - motives in use on the Now Yotic Central , the Lake Shore , ( ho Northwestern and other Vanderbilt lInes for a number of years. It is said the enincs cnn be buIlt more cheaply at ( he Schenectady works than by the Union Pacific's own mechanical department - mont In this city. The ten locomotivea will be very similar V to the remodeled engines of the Union Pa- ciflo 1300 class , and will take ( heir num- V bors in that class. They will ho consolidated - dated engines , and the schenectadles will Itave the compound cylinders. They vilI appear something like the Union Pacific 10- comotivo No. 1600 of the Wyoming division , which is now on exhibition in the Transportation - portation building at the exposition. The cylinders on this engine are 22x28 , the eight driving wheels are each fifty-one Inches in diameter ; the diameter of ( ho boiler is seventy-two inches ; the weight of engine and tender is 269.700 pounds , and the total length of engine and tender is seventy feet.

The railroad men were happy on Tuesday morning when they received telegraphic reports - ports of rain from all parts of Nebraska. lIven the officials whose families were to drive In the Flower parade , while regretting the tact that some of ( lie traps and pretty flowers aught be made muddy by the rain , said it of more consequence to have a rain that veu1d grow flowers in the form of corn and wheat throughout the state. V V At Union Pacific headquarters the reports showed that good rains bad fallen on Monday - : day night and Tuesday morning all over Nebraska. The rain extended along the main line at an average depth of three- fourths of an inch , and on some of the branch 110e8 it fell in heavier quansities. V The U. & M. weather report at 8 o'clock on Tieaday morning showed the greatest amount of rain at the following points : V Plattemouth , .34 inch ; Omaha , .62 inch ; V Ashland. .75 inch ; Schuyler , .40 Inch ; Aurora , .31 inch ; Grand Island , .85 Inch , Central City , .70 inch ; Palmer , .G4 inch ; Greeley Center , .110 inch ; I3urwell , 1.30 inches ; Loup City , .8.6 inch ; Crete , good , lairmont , .40 mcli ; hastings , .E5 inch ; ITo- ! drege , 1 inch ; Curtis , .10 inch ; Kearney , .74 Inch ; liolyoke , .08 inch ; Cheyenne , light ; Ited Cloud , .28 inch ; Republican , .75 inch ; Nmlon , good ; Orleans , good ; VIlsonvile ! , .85 Inch ; Arapaboc , 1.05 inches ; McCook , V .G8 inch ; Benkleman , .65 inch ; Imperial , .69 inch ; Oxford. heavy ; Ravenna , heavy rain. Vorlc on * 1e felt Line , The Missouri Pacific has a large force of men at work widening the road-bed of the 13e1t Line , which runs around the north , west and south sides of the city. It Is altogether - together probable that the Belt Line will be doubled-tracked at a future date. Just when It will bo done is not known , but the roa(1.bed is being made ready for the additional track now. The dirt Is being hauled from South Omaha. It is a part of the earth excavated ( hero for the construction of the Armour plant. Tue earth taken out was divided among three railroads : the Missouri Pacific , the Union Pacific and the B , & M , The Missouri Pacific is using its share to rebuild - build the road-bed of its Ilelt Line. A l'art ' of the Dolt Line is now proviled with a double track. There are two tracks from Webster street station to North Thirtieth V street , anti between the latter crossing and ' South Omaha there are several side tracks. It will be only necessary to connect these stretches of double tracks to have a through double track from Omaha to South Omaha. With the road-bed built for the accommodation - dation of the second track , it is thought It will ho laid at an early date , l'ioisenger i.'ti's M.'ctiu i'ostpnneis.

CIIICACIO , Aug. 2.-The question of ticktt scalpers and their relation with the railroad companies catered into the proceedings of the Interstate Commerce commission which today conttnud Its investigation Into the causes of the Canadian Pacific rate war , After P. 1. Whitney , representing ( lie Great Northern railroad , had concluded his direct statement he was requested by Mr. Mc- Nicoll , passenger traffic manager of ( ho Canadian I'aciflc , to read a letter having reference to the reduction of passenger rates from St. Paul to Victoria , 13. C. The letter was written in 1880 to the Canadina Pacific railroad company. The first pam- graph was to the effeCt that. there had been no dimeulty with the ticket scalpers on the subject of rates , but concluded with I stgguat.Ofl : that th rates to Victoria should be reduced and the matter taken out of the hands of the scallers. Mr. Whitney , when asked to read the correspondence. C : . ' he ns willing to do so provided Mc- Nicoll would die the leters ho had receivol on the subject. During the discussion that ensued Mr : McNicoll declined to give the required assurances and eventually the r'hnirmnn mulc.1 that whenever Mr. Vhltne3' based his statements on a letter ho will be IV , tO inoduce and file the original correspondence. lie added that the Cana- cHan Pacific raIlway , when it presented its ems' nnlst be vpecteil to do the same. Mr. Whitney in the course of his state- ml1t t1flhfitHfltd ( lint the American lines had been held up by the Canadian Pacific nnd at the price of peace had been obliged to give up differentials. Speaking of the inrreased traflic brought about by the KIon- ( like boom , Mr. Whitney declared ( lint if the Canadian Pacific had maintained tariff rates the American railroad companies would not have sustained enormous losses , . tii speaker made a strong point of titi' fact ( list ( ho passenger rates throughout the country had been completely dcmorai- izeil as the result of the action of the Canadian - dian PacIfIc railway. Mr. Whitney showed that the Canadian Pacific had forced companies to reduce pas senger fares from New York to SL Paul anil other western points to the 1 cent a mile basis , lie declared that such a cut meant the loss of enormous sums to the companies. The transportation of passen- 't'ra to these westerit points cost at least 2 cents a mile and where the country is hilly and sparsely populated the cost was even greater. fleplying to a question as to whether the eastern lines had suffered through the low- erlng of rates , Mr. Whitney said he had been Informed by railroad omciala in New York that losses to eastern lines had been appalling despite ( lie fact that the volume of business bad greatly increased.

S. flobacker of Ottawa , Franklin county , Kan. , has little confldenco in the Omaha police - lice , and more in human nature ; but his faith in mankind has received a rude shock , and maybe tIm next time he meets an affable - ble Btranger , he will net be so trusting. This is his story : "Yesterday I started to go from Omaha to South Omaha , to see the packing houses , On the way down a nice young man got on the car beside me and asked where I was from and where I was going. I told him , and be gave his name as Charles H. Conway - way , saying ho was a reporter for the Kansas - sas City Star , and I was 'to be his guest. He had a pull and wo would have no trouble In getting passes to go through all the pack- lag houses in South Omaha. When we got dowmm thicro LQmewhere , he told me that was the place to t the passes , and we got off the car. lIe asd me to go into a saloon and take a drink. I told him I never drank , but as ho insisted so pleasantly , I agreed to take a glass of beer and we went Into the saloon. While were drinking a nice old gentleman came In and asked for a drink , Conway naked where he came from , and the old gentleman said from Kentucky. When time old gentleman caine to pay for his drink he had only a $10 bill. The barkeeper said ho had no change , and Conway said ho would pay for the drink. The old man demurred , and then Conway said they would shake dice for the bills , the winner to pay for the drink. The old man agreed to this and asked me to hold the stakes , Conway shook dice and won , I gave him the $20 , and then the old gentleman wanted to shake again for $100 , Conway said he did not have the money , hut if the old gentleman vou1d pay for the drinks he would give him back the $10 he had won. To this the old gentleman also demurred. Baying It had been fairly won , and ( lie winner should keep the gains. I was asked to change the bill. I took my money from my pocket , and was taking two : ; bills to change the $10 bill , when Conway took the money from my hand. saying , 'Let me count It. ' I had $30 , and Conway said to the old gentleman : 'I have $50 now I'll shako you for , ' nnd to me lie said , 'I'll hand you the $30 In a minute. ' They shook and the old man won. Conway told me lie was short on money , but if I would meet him at the postotflce at 10 o'clock this morn- lag I would get my money back. " Mr. Itobacicer said ho had not reported ( lie matter to the police yet , because he knew Conway ; had known him , In fact , ever since ho met him Monday morning on the street car , Conway had not shown up at the poBt- office yesterday morning and when the reporter - porter suggested that the matter be given to ( ho authorities the victim said lie would go back down to the rostomce , and if Conway was not there then ho would tell ( lie police. A telegram from the Kansas City Star do- flies all knowledge of Conway , Ho has no connection with that paper.
