' Kothln- Mre Saeccor lakaonD. Robert W. Baxter, superintendent of the Nebraska division of the Union PaciAo railroad has resigned" The resignation was sent to President Burt Thursday at noon and has not yet been acted upon. Mr. Baxter entered the service of the I'nlon I'aclflc at the age of 10 and has been with that company in various capacities ever slur, with on. brief exception. lie Was born in Bcotland in 1833 and In 18a was made a chairman and rodman on the survey, for the tracks of the It. A IX B. railway in California. II. remained in this position until VM. when he wa. employed en the construction of th. Mllvel & Cape Island railway remaining on this work for two years. In IStSi he was appointed fore man of the track laying- of the I'nlon Pa cific and was subsequently made conductor and foreman of the train. Mr. Baxter was (or seven years mudmaater of the Laramie division of the Union Pacific and from 18SJ to 1M4 was section foreman of tb. Trucke. division of th. Bouthern Pacific. From 1-M to lb'JS h. was roadmaster and general foreman of bridges and buildings nd waUr supply of the Southern Pacific and In August. he was made superin tendent of the Wyoming division of the Union Pacific. From April 15, 1891. to Sep tember of the same year Mr. Baxter acted In the capacity of superintendent ' of th. Midland division of th. Baltimore Ohio, ' with headquarters at Newark. O. He again entered the empluy of th. Union Pacific, this tim. In September, 1S&1, and until June, h. was superintendent of th. Oregon division. This I. now the Oregon Short line, and again In July 1892. h. was promoted to acting general superintendent of the Pa cific division of the Union Pacific. He waa made the general superintendent of tho same division and remained In this ca pacity until July 14, 1891. He was appointed the general agent for the receivers of the same road at Portland, Ore., and held this position until 1896. Conceals Fstare Plans. Later, about 1897, Mr. Baxter came to Omaha as the general superintendent of the Nebraska division of th. Union Pacific, in which position he has remained until the present. Mr. Baxter would not say where he in tended to locate, but in all events he will leave Omaha, Today he expects to go to New York with his wife and on his re turn will begin to make arrangements to move. II. will still remain In the rail road business, but where and with what road he would not say. Nothing Is known as to who will be his successor, but It Is expected that the name will be announced In a few days. Mr. Baxter expects to be ready to leave the city for good by the latter part of the month. His life-long friendship and . association with Edward Dickinson has led to the surmise that he may follow Mr. Dickinson to the Orient road, of which the latter is general man ager and vice president, having left the position of general manager of the Union Paclrio last year.

Seised la Fee of Street, aad Caaaot Grant Private Rlaht. of V Way. A continuation of the arguments in the several cases brought against the city looking to a permanent restraining order against the acquisition of right of way or terminal facilities by :he Great Western railway for Us Iowa projection was made before Judges Baxter and Dickinson, sitting together, in Judge Baxter's court yesterday. Three cases are being argued. In one of these temporary writs of Injunction already have been Issued to prevent the city council from passing an ordinance now bafore It which provides fur the vacation of certain street over which the Great Western seeks its right of way. Of tha t,hree cases, the Reichrnberger case first came into public notice. The two other cases followed. The attorneys for these cases are R. 8. Horton, In the Relchenbergrer case, Crofoot & Scott In another and Wharton St Balrd in the third. Arguments were made this morning by Horton and Crofoot ft Scott. Mr. Horton argued at length. The arguments were heard by a large number of attorneys and Interest in tha fight against the rail way is now at fever heat. In his argument Mr. Horton said, among other things, that the Important question Is whether, under the statute, giving muni cipal corporations control of the streets and alleys, power exists In the municipal authorities to vacate a street, or portion of a street, for the benefit and use of private parties. Coart ttae.tloae Rot Ices. It was conceded that tha motive, of the municipal legislative body in th. pasaag. of the proposed ordinance, cannot be judicially Inquired into. But th. purpose to be accomplished by th. ordinance may be considered, it was held. Indeed, must be. in determining the validity of tha ordi nance. The question to be determined was one of power in the municipality. In the determination of which the legal effect of the action of the municipality become, the controlling matter for consideration. Continuing his argument Mr. Horton d clared that the power of the city council to vacate the streets is plenary. It 1. In slsted by th. defense that .inc. the statute grants power to municipalities "to lay out, establish, alter, widen, extend, grade, pave or otherwise Improve streets and public grounds, and to vacate the same." By the platting of a city, the streets, in their entire width and length, are dedic ated, it was contended, to the use of the publio as streets. The city therefore be comes seised In fee of the streets and alleys for the use of the local and general public, holding them in trust for such pur poses, and none other. The attorneys for the defense will take up their side of the case following the con clusion of the arguments by the plaintiffs. The defense Is represented by W. D. Me Hugh and City Attorney C. C. Wright. BaMdlna; Permits. Permits have been issued by the building department to' P. S. Creed on for three brick flats at Thirty-fourth and Dodge streets to cost I8.0UO; to M. J. Kennard for a $,500 frame dwelling at Thirty-first avenue and Farnam street; to J. M. Met calfe for a 11,000 frame cottage at 1234 Sjuth Tenth street and to T. R. Kimball for $2,000 worth of alterations and repairs to several dwellings. ' PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

INQUIRY TO BE MADE BEFORE BOARD Some Interesting Local History en This Important SnUJect Antici pated at Coming; Meeting of Commissioners. It Is expected that the session of the county commissioners . this morning will develop some interesting matters in relation to the county bridge work and that considerable local history will be made. The items scheduled for considera tion include Commissioner O Keeffe's second attempt to have received a report in con nection with the Elkhorn bridge, which was compiled at his suggestion and for his personal use by two experts, and which the commissioners refused to receive at their last session, for the alleged reason that It was a private communication, being addressed to Mr. O Keefte. A matter which is deemed equally Im portant will develop when the attempt is made to discover how many bridges are now under process of construction for which the contracts were let at various times, ranging from one to two years back. The statement was made by one of the commissioners that contracts had been let for the construction of a number of steel bridges, including what is known as the Snyder bridge and two others In the vicinity of Elkhorn, and that nothing has been don. by tha contractor. A local firm has the contracts for the construction of these bridges and the commissioners claim to be aware of Its reason for not proceeding with the contracts. A Ss-oent decision of the Nebraska su preme court, that of Sheeley against Lan caster county, has so altered th. condi tions under which the contractors may perform their work that the county finds itself unable to secure anyone who will undertake the work of building its bridge.. Plans to Commissioners. Previous to the Bheeley decision It waa the custom of the parties contracting for the bridge building to submit their own plans and specifications for each bridge to be constructed by them to the county commissioners. Whether the commission ers approved the plans and specifications made no difference, Insofar as the con tractor receiving pay for his work was concerned. If th. bridge, when completed. j was not annoyed by the county surveyor or engineer. In the Sheeley case the plans and spec! flcailomi a ere submitted to the county commissioners. Sheeley constructed the bridge, but th. surveyor would not place his approval upon it. Bheeley sued to re cover th. contract prlc and was beaten in the district court, but secured a favor able decision in the supreme court. In passing upon this case, however, the su preme court modified the conditions under which the contractors, In the future, may execute their contracts. It was provided that each contractor shall draw up plans and specifications. It also provided that the county commissioners shall do likewise. This was not done at the time Douglas county let the contracts for the erection of a number of steel bridges, over a year ago, and which are conspicuous today for their absence. The contractors refuse to build these bridges, it is alleged, thinking that some technicality might deprive them of their contract price. GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW Winter Nelll.

The first car of winter Nellls got In Thursday night. They come from Colorado whereas It Is usual at this time of year to get this variety from Cali fornia. The price which Is $2.&o, wholesale.

Tokay grapes got in and are the finest of the Season. The western grapes have not hit the gait of the easterners, but the Tokays are stiff at $1.00. The quinces have caused a big demand for sweet apples. There Is said to be a secret understanding between these two, for the quinces do not preserve readily without the apples. Grime's Golden and the Jonathan are the only locals enjoying an Al demand and they sell for $3.60. The New York applea, on the other hand, are quickly taken at $3.26 or $3.60 in preference to other home-growns at $2.76. LOCAL BREVITIES.
