MUCH PROPERTY REMAINS YET UNSOLD

Employes of tlio Union I'ncino road nro
complaining'over ' what they nllcgo to bo the
unnecessary delay In settling up the affairs
connected with the old hospital fund. The
that this matter
public ns a rule had bcllovcd
ter had been finally disposed of , but such ,
It seems , Is not the caso. It Is alleged that
In addition to some $50,000 In the treasury of
the old Union Paclllc company belonging to
this fund , there are two hospital buildings ,
one nt Denver and the other at Ogdcn , which
remain unsold and are a part of the assets
of this fund. It Is said , In reference to the
buildings , that the United Stales court has
eo far refused to permit the receivers of the
road to Bell them owing to the depression
in the rcnl estate market , which would miti
gate against receiving n fair value for the
property.
The building nt Denver Is a atone struc
ture and coat when built approximately $40-
000. It was abandoned several years ago
because of Its unsanitary condition and the
fact that It would require about flO.OOO to
put It In repair. Thcso circumstances have
contributed to depreciating Its value aa an
asset. The building at Ogden Is only ono
wing of the structure planned to bo erected.
Jt coBt about $12,000. It Is built of atone
a ml wan used ns n hospital until the fund
was Abolished a year ago , Since that tlmo
It has boon abandoned , but It Is In reason
ably good shape. As both of three buildings
were , put up especially for hospital purposes
it io said they will bo difficult property to
lioll for anything lllco a fair value.
Oiii/ttnnilliiK Llnnllltlcn.
As llnb'llltlcs standing against these three
items of assets there are some 18,000 claims
& > y employes filed with the receivers of the
railroad company. These claims range in
value from 40 cents to $125. Those for the
latter amount , however , It is alleged ore
padded. At the rate of assessment made
ngalnst the employes It Is said toihavo been
impossible for any ono to have paid in that
amount of money. The claims have been
checked over and their total , as corrected
to date , will approximate $400,000. No more
claims can bo filed , as tbo limitation has
expired , ami this total may bo further re
duced by a moro rigid pruning of doubtful
claims.
No Information can be obtained in this
city ns to the probable time when the court
would order the hospital buildings sold. O.
" \V. 31 Ink of Boston Is expected here this
week , and It Is suggested the matter maybe
bo taken up then with the attorney and a
decision reached as to what recommenda
tions shall be made to the court upon this
anatter. It Is understood as settled that
nothing "will be dona toward a distribution
of funds until this property hns been sold
and the receivers thereby enabled to wipe
out the transactions nt once.
In this connection It Is reported that many
of the employes of the road nro now re-
Krcttlng that the hospital fund was abel
ished. Under the lead of agitators , it is
Bald , they demanded a pro ratn return on
the money paid Into the fund treasury , and
upon this showing the company decided to
discontinue ) this branch of ItB business. But
the employes now feel that they have de
prived themselves of a cheap Insurance , with
nothing to take Its place ,
NO VAULT OP THE UNIOX PACIFIC.
Ovprliiiitl Synlpm Itrndjr to Kntor Any
J''iilr Agreement to Maintain IlatPn.
Speaking of the criticisms passed upon his
road 'by ' the Chicago press , as representative
of the Chicago roads , because the Union
Pacific refuses to become a member of the
Western Passenger association , an official of
that road says :
"Chicago lines have continually made our
road the butt for all the odium attached to
demoralized rate conditions. Wo are thb
only line in the Transmlssourl territory
which has no interests cast of the river.
Conditions which wo are required to meet
nro different from these confronting roads
which operate on both sides of the river.
Wo have never contributed to the demoraliz
ation of passenger rates , yet because we re
fuse to belong to nn association which has
for Its main Idea the protection of Chicago
lines we are blamed for nil the transgres
sions in the western territory.
"Tho present demoralized condition of pas
senger business Is due , as everybody knows ,
to the northern linos. There Is no attempt
to get them Into the association , whore they
should surely be If that organization Is so bo-
nlllccnt in its results upon steadying traffic.
The association has oven gene so far as to
appoint a committee to go to St. Paul and
bow down before the magnates of the Great
Northern and beg them to withdraw their
low rates , The committee will accomplish
nothing. These rates have been put In to
etay , but the Union Pacific is branded as the
black sheep because it
refuses to become a
member of the association , while the real
offenders are treated as tender lambs.
"Tho rule of the Union Pacific , as proven
by the record , Is to maintain rates , and It
only 1 > ronka over when It Is necessary to
meet the cuts made by association lines. "

CHICAGO , March 23. Oeneral Manager
Chappell of the ChlcnRo & Alton railway In
an Interview today eald that the road un
der the now administration would bo 1m-
prove.l and put upon the same standard as
the other bis roads of the west. The syndi
cate hns already ordered forty new engines
of the hlghojttype of development nnd It
has an option for thirty more. Kor years
the Alton 'him been at a disadvantage on
account of Its light engines. The now oncn
will bo of the mcfit powerful class and they
will bo nblo to pull as heavy loads as those
of any competing lines. The physical con
dition of the property will nlso be Improved.
New bridges will bo constructed where It
Is coiiHldcred necessary for the accommoda
tion of the heavier equipment. Graded will
bo reduced and curves eliminated.
Iliiiiliiroii * Ticket S
Thnro Is an element of humor In the
makeup of ticket scalpers. It 'has ' found a
healtliy vent at till I a tlmo nt the expense of
the railway managers owing to the defeat
of the nntt-scalplng bill by congress.
Guetav Lansing of Now York , who was at
the head of the lobby nt Washington workIng -
Ing ngalnst tills measure , bas Rent out n
circular letter to general passenger agents ,
which Is n burlesque upon their efforts to
stop ticket scalping. He starts the letter
by saying Us subject matter Is "Statistical
and Pathological , " nnd advises the recipient
to pocket It nnd read later. Continuing ho
says :
"In answer to a general query the
adjournment of tlho Fifty-fifth congress
ended the last effort to enact an antl-scalp-
1ns law. The bill passed the house by a
voto"of eighteen , but was rejected In the
senate. In the Fifty-fourth congress the
vote was ninety-five. Since 1800 con
gress has rejected this bill five
times. In November , 1898 , the
court of appeals In Now York declared the
traffic In passenger tickets to bo a lawful
vocation nnd that the sale of a valid ticket
Is not a fraud upon any railroad or passenger
nnd cannot be Interdicted by legislative
enactment. Judge Olbbons of Chicago has
Just declared the Illinois law to bo uncon
stitutional.
"Since the Urst law was passed In Penn
sylvania In 1863 like measures have been
rejected by fifty-two different sessions of
state legislatures , eight have passed and two
have subsequently repealed such laws , and
two have been declared unconstitutional.
Over $1,000,000 has been spent , the time of
hundreds of railway employes absorbed and
withal during thirty-six years there has
been but ono broker convicted for selling a
valid ticket. "
1/anslng then proceeds to boom an alleged
"rheumatic cure" which he Is handling and
highly recommends It to passenger agents
who nre suffering from pains accrued by ex-
poRlng themselves to the legislative opera
tions of the scalpers.
nrniliinlly Hnlxlnw the Limit.
While the efforts made a couple of months
ago on the part of all railroads to increase
the minimum weight of a carload failed for
the tlmo being , It Is reported that the roads
are now gradually working up to a higher
mark. An Increase at one 'time from the
weight demanded by the shipper to that
whloli the roads think to tie Just would bo
difficult to accomplish , and the roads seem
to have by common consent adopted the
method of gradually raising the limit. On
common commodities , Including all classes
of grain , the minimum 'weight Is being
raised In Installments of about 2,000 pounds.
It Is predicted that before the expiration of
the year the minimum weight will bo at
about the figure desired by the roads.
The 24,000-pound capacity cars arc being
slowly withdrawn from service. None of
them nre being rebuilt , and all now cars nre
of a much larger capacity. In n short tlmo
there will IDO no small cars In operation , and
then all the roads will bo forced to raise
the minimum load , for to continue at the
lower figure would be to lose money. All
reports that a IUod date had been agreed
upon when the Increased -weight is to go
Into effect ore erroneous. Itwill be accom
plished by easy stages , the speed depending
largely upon business conditions. The in
creasing number of lines competing for the
same business , with the elowly decreasing
rates , nro the causes assigned toy the rail
roads for Increasing the weight of carload
lots.
Denial of .Secret Hate .
Freight agents generally in this city con
tradict the report of the agent made Wednes
day that there is secret cutting of rates by
Omaha roads. They assort there has not
been a tlmo in years when rates have been
so well maintained as since the flrat of the
present year. It Is easy enough , they nay ,
for an agent who loses an expected shipment
to ehargo the lees to rate cutting by a com-
potltor , but they do not consider such a
course a manly , ono to adopt. They add
further that it is a common thing for a
shipper to allege he Is getting a lower
than tariff rate , either as an excuse for
changing from fho line ho has been accus
tomed to use , or to induce , If possible , .tho
soliciting agent to make a cut In his rates.
This , It la eald , is an almost every day experience
perience- the freight offices , but It Is nl-
lowwl to pass ns an Incident to the business
They also say It is next to Impossible , with
the methods In vogue today , for a railroad to
make a cut rate without being detected ana
the offender ibrought to time. They deny
that it Is possible for a line to successfully
shift the blnmo upon other shoulders. They
assort that reports of llttlo rate cutting are
due to disappointment on the part of 'an
agent because ho failed to secure a ship
ment ho was working for.

DlHcavcrcr of Porto Hico anil
PI or 111 ii.
The name of Pence do Leon Juan is very
closely identified with Porto nico. ono of
our new colonial acquisitions ; ono of the
largest towns there is called after him.
Ho was a Spanish soldier who was born in
Aragon about 1460 and who is renowned as
being the discoverer of Florida. Ho first
went to America with Columbus In 1493 :
under Ovendo was governor of Hlguay , or
the eastern part of Espanola , and in 1508
passed over to Porto Rico. In 1510 he was
empowered to conquer Porto Rico , of which
ho was made governor ; later ho went to
Spain , where ( February 23 , 1512 , ) ho re
ceived n grant to discover and settle the
Island of Dltninl ( the mythical region in
which report located the fountain of youth ) .
The explorer sailed from Porto Ulco In
March , 1513 , with three caravels. Passing
the Calcos and other islands , he discovered
the mainland March 27. coasted northward
to latitude 30 degree 8 minutes , landed , and
on April 8 ( Pascua Florida or Easter Sun
day ) took possession of the country for the
king of Spain , calling it Florida. Thence he
turned southward , rounded Capo Sable and
ran up the western coast to latitude ) 27 de
grees 30 minutes , finally returning to Porto
Rico in September. On February 27 , 1514 ,
he received , in Spain , n grant to settle
"tho Island of Blmlnl nnd the island of
Florida , " but , being occupied with Indian
wars In Porto Rico , ho was unable to at
tempt the enterprise until March , 1521. He
then sailed with a large number of colonists ,
but was attacked by Indians and forced to
retreat after ho had himself received from
nn Indian arrow the wound of which he
died in Cuba the same year. There are
Indications from maps , but no positive proofs
that Florida was known before 1513. This
information Is taken from The Century Dic
tionary nnd Cyclopedia and may bo accepted
ns strictly accurate.

What might have 'been ' a very disastrous

through the prompt assistance of

engaged la mixing a liniment containing a
largo quantity of combustible material. In
some way the compound caught fire and in
an Instant the room was enveloped In
llumea. Officer Devoreeso was passing at

building. He found tbo clerk very badly
burned about the hands , but managed after
a tlmo to got the flro out. The drug room
was stored with a great many drugs that
rulgtit have caused a considerable conflagra

oxtlngul&cd. Mr. Haebcrle will no doubt
be laid up for some time. Officer Dov-

An Kvltlenee of Prosperity.
It Is generally conceded by economists
who study the commercial situation of the
country that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of Its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella
tion of pleasure travel , while a healthy con
dition of affairs menus business trips nnd
an Increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business revival
has gene broadcast over this country is the
"Lak Shore Limited. " the star train of the
Vnnderbtlt system , between Now York nnd
Chicago , which IB dally comfortably filled.
With a view to taking the best possible
care of its patrons , the , Now York Central
has arranged to Increase the equipment of
this train ny placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving Now York nnd
Chicago Tuesdays , Thursdays and Saturdays.
To the regular travelers the appointments
and comforts of this train nro well known ,
but If you have uever made a trio en It.
you owe it to yourself to see and enjoy the
advance made In comfort and luxury In mod
ern railway travel. Remember the faro Is
no higher on this train , except between New-
York and Chicago , while the accommoda

conspicuously at the head of the list , when
compared with other lines. Albany Journal.
