Stirling as and ttor of he Vnlon Pacific, thus bearing out the statement made by General Auditor Rrastus Totinr of the Harrlman lines that he did not know what was to become of Mr. Stirling, whom the Oregon papers said was coming to Omaha. According to the circular all subordinate officers of the ac counting department of the Vnlon Pacific win in the future report to Mr. Stirling. The office of assistant auditor, held by Ralph Blalsdell. Is abolished and Mr Blalsdell soes to the Ores-on Railway and Navigation company, to take the place of auditor vacated by Mr. Stirling. The office of auditor of th Vnlon Paclflo la a new one, being formerly held ex-offlcio by E. Young, who is stepping out to make room for Mr. Stirling.

The first day of the new year boded not well for Omaha', firemen, six alarms In less than ten hours being resnonded to bv the department. Not one of the fires turned out to be serious or entailed any consider able loss, while two of them were false. The response of the men with Chief Halter was quick when an alarm was turned In from the Bennett store at Six teenth and Harney streets a few moments before ( o'clock In the evening. No signs of a blase could be discovered, however, and an investigation disclosed the fact that somehow. In a manner unexplained, the alarm attachment to the sprinkler system sent in a call for the Are department all of its own accord and without proper grounds for the act. ' The deed was gladly forgiven on the part of' the proprietors, however, so long as water was not turned Into the sprinkler pipes, causing a repeti tion of the Hayden Bros.' loss of last summer. A number of boys turned In a box alarm from Twentieth street and St. Mary's nvo nue for what they considered fun, and then ran away before they could be caught. about 4 O'clock in the nflernnnn A hnii f the same hour a slight blase at 1719 Cass street was extinguished without loss, and a still alarm In the early evening was re sponded to from . the Eighteenth and Harney street barn, when a telenhonn nole caught fire at Sixteenth and Grace streets.
