In the list of corporators of the proposed Kansas City , St Joseph & Omaha railroad , which has for Its object the building of n new line connecting these three cities , there nppcars the names of but three men who nro In any way known to be connected with other railroads. While this Is not a sum- < lent number to give color to the belief that there Is Rome big line backing the enter prise , still one may rend between the lines nml fancy that Port Arthur nnd Chicago Great "Western Interests nro Involved. This point Is accentuated by the fact there has been more or less gossip during the last jcnr connecting these two roadi In different enterprises The following are the Incorporators - porators of the now company .1 II. Pickering , Kansas City , railroad builder , for ton years associate of President A H Stllhvcll of the Gulf line ; L3 U Sweeney. Kansas City , cashier First Na tional "bank ; Charles H.

Hutchison and A. n Smith , asslstanl ficnnml passenger agents respectively of the Union Pacific and Burlington , will attend the special meeting of the Western Pas senger association to bo held at Chicago today , when another attempt will b ( mnno to fix up the ono-'way rates to the northwest. At a meeting two veeks ago an agreement was made providing for a rebate at destination on tickets to the northwest over the Missouri river lines. This was < lone to protect tbe business to Intermediate points. Some of the interested roads wore not pre-sent at that meeting , but Itva.t given out that they wojild probably approve the agreement. Most of these roads were western lines -which had the final haul ol this business , nnd under the agreement they wore to pay the rebate. In other words they iwould have to pay out $750 on everyone ono of these tickets presented , and wait upon the circumlocution of traffic adjust ment Tor the return of their money. These roads promptly decided they wore not In the banking bushiest ) nnd refused to accept the agreement. At the meeting today another scheme will bo attempted -which will enable the Interested roads to sell a ticket for 1 , ! > 00 miles at a less rate than they charge for 1,000 miles , that there maybe bo no disarrangement of the latter trafilc. i of Crntrnl rut-Hie.

EPISCOPAL DIOCESAN NOTES SonicInteroMIIIK Itonm r ll Ml from Mie I.ateit II Nlun Alonl- < or. Forty-four congregations In the diocese 3ontrlbutcd last jear to domestic and foreign missions. Omaha has eleven parishes nnd missions served by ten clergymen. The city clergy , however , In most Instances minister to out side points such as Elkhorn , Papllllon nnd Florence. Two former deans of Trinity cathedral , Omaha , haveibeen elevated to the Episcopate the scholarly and eloquent Alexander Charles Garrett to the see of Dillns , Tex , nnd the earnest and faithful Frank Rose- brook Mlllspaugh to the see of Kansas. Trinity cathedral , Omaha. Is the largest parish In the diocese It reports COS com municants. All Saints' comes next with a membership of 300. Holy Trinity. Lincoln , with 240 communicants , stands third , and St. Barnabas' , Omaha , ranks fourth with a communicant list of 22" . Nebraska has an ' Auburn , loveliest - village lage of the plains " It Is Mtuated In the northein part of the diocese. This Is the seat of an organised mission under the care of Rev. Ed waul Murphy , a man of scholarly attainments and of an eirncst , painstaking spirit. The Ascension lu tbe name of tbe mission nt this point. It reports twenty- two communicants. Nebraska , inlth only seven Bclf-stipportlns parishes nnd more than fifty weak parishes and missions receiving aid , Is practically and decidedly a missionary diocese. Despite teh fact. It Is gratifying to note that last year , aside from the offerings of the Woman's auxiliary Nebraska contributed to domestic nnd foreign missions the sum ol $1.000.78 The Omaha diocese Is perhaps unlquo In the proportion of the clergy of Irish descent which it contains. Hero Is the list Rev. William A Mulligan. Rev. IMward Murphy , Rev. T. J. ( Mackay , Rev John Edward Reilly , DD. , Very Rev. Campbell Fair , D D , and Rev. John Williams. The rector of St. Philip's lias also been accused of being an Irishman , but as there Is some doubt about this , bo Is loft out of the list.
