OMAHA, May 29sh.-Rumors have prevailed
from time to time that the Union Pacific in
tended TO shorten the time between Omaha
and Ogden, but all such rumors have been
mere guessBork. 1t is now, however, q set
tied fact that the Union Pacific will shorten
its running time about eleven hours, leaving
Omaha st about 11:30 P. NJ, and arriving at
Ogden in the morning instead of evening.
The run is 1,032 miles, and is now made in
"a hours. By the new arrangement it will
be made in a little less than ii hours, or
about an average OF % miles an hour includ.

The Man Who Killed Carey,


LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE steamer Athenian,
with O'Donnell, the murderer of Carey, on
board, arrived off Plymouth and a force of
detectives have left TO board her. 1t is ru-
mored that a gunboat will be dispatched
from the victuaIing yard to intercept the
Athenian, and that O'Donnell will be landed
al the yards. No suspicious character has
yet been observed in this vicinity, and extra
precautions are being taken by the authori-
ties to prevent any attempt at a release.
Eater.-oDonn was not taken to- Ply
month as anticipated, But landed at South
ampton. maintaining lazy demeanor. He
refterates his former statement that In killing
Carey he only acted in self defense, and he
expresses himself as confident of acquistal.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE authorities at the
last moment decided TO take O'Donnell to
Southampton instead of Plymouth. 1t is
not known whether this course was taken
because of information received by the pc
lice relative TO the movements of sympathiz
ers. O'Donnell stated that he had pleasant
voyage, and had not been in irons or hand
cuffed. His custodians treated him with
remarkable kindness, allowing him to go up
on deck in the morning and afternoon.
O'Donnell has an Irish cast of features and
piercing eye. He shook hands heartily with
the detectives who received him from Capt.
1Iclcomb. ODonnell says he does not so
much mind being tried for the murder Of
Carey, but he is afraid he will be recognized
by the police as a participant in other affairs.
DETECTIVES who have charge of O'Donnell
are some men who we're engaged in ferreting
out some recent dynamite conspirators. The
railway car III which O'Donnell will be con-
veyed to London, and the carriages preced-
ing and following it are to be filled with
policemen.

We ARE Informed that the application to
the chief authority of the Northern PACIFIC
railroad company for some reduction of fare
to the delegates to the next session of the
Grand Lodge of Montana, elected the re-
spouse that the regulations of the company
did not allow such o pleasure as General
Barnes himself would like to bestow. As
this indulgence Is almost universal in other
sections with other roads, we suppose it Is
indicative of policy that has been estab-
lished by general regulations beyond the
dispensing power of any officer of the CON-
pany. The Masonic fraternity Is pretty old,
strong, and influential body of men, and we
have no idea that their request would have
been refused as an exception to all others.
We are not sure but that the rule thus fore.
Swallowed by the company Is the best one. II
1t was understood that everybody who rode
on their cars must pay one uniform price,
and that there was no power to dispense with
the application of this rule, it might, OF
| course, occasion some grumbling among
those accustomed to ask and receive special
favors, but 1t would command general re-
spect and enable company TO make iss Or
binary rates lower than otherwise. But II
there ID TO be discrimination and fsvoritism
without uniformity, there will be ne end Of
complaint. This Indicates certainly radi.
cal revolution In railroad management, and

The Apaches Numbering In Arizona

TOMBSTONE, September 17.-Since the
murder yesterday of George Ward, at Ante
lope Springs, by the Apaches, nothing further
has been heard of their doings. The feeling
in this place Is one Of intense excitement
against the Indians. Crooks peace policy
is bitterly denounced as unsuccessful.
CHICAGO, September ia special from
Tombstone, Arizona, of the 10th says: Eight
hostile Apaches attacked the hog ranch at
Antelope Springs, ten miles from this city
this morning. There were only two there
at the time, George Ward and Amos Will
Jams. The former was killed, the latter es-
capped, bringing the news here. The citizens
armed and went in pursuit, put there is lit
tie chance Of overtaking the hostiles. The
Indians came from the direction of Sonora,
and were probably part of those left in the
fountains by Crook. They were on bare
r>,horses which are believed to be stolen
tfsm the ranches below here. Several par
tties have left here for Sonora the past, few
luAys, and grave fears are entertained for their
fate. The main body of hostiles is en-
eamped in Casas Grandes. Their comrades
reject the peace offered by the Mexican au-
thorities. Colonel joaquin Terrezos was at
last accounts organizing a force to attack
them in the mountains. News as received
to-day via Sonora that Terrezos while recon-
noitering was captured, but 1t lacks confirm

SENATOR SHARON.
Deneunces His Prosecutors as Felons and
BIackmailers.


CHICAGO, September 15.-In an inter-
view with Sharon this morning, he gives
further information to that given In these dis.
patches last night in regard to his arrest. He
says: "The charge against me was origina-
ted by an ex-convict from Sydney, New
South Wales. This vile scoundrel is named
Jno. M. Nelson. l had a woman elected
from the Palace Hotel because she was not
desirable. have nothing to say against the
| woman"
"Was her name Aggie Hip"
81 don't want TO mention the woman's
name at all, because she has respectable
friends aud relatives, and do not care 10 in
jure them.''
"But you are charged with adultery as de-
fined by the laws of the State of California,
which must be open and notorious ?"
I'll really don't know anything about the
charge at all it is false, base, libellous, and
originates with a man whose character is
black and low. But, as was saying, this
! woman had been invited to leave the house,
and she did leave. That same evening be-
fore l was leaving for Washington, Nelson
came into the hotel and demanded money
from me for the woman. told him TO send
her AROUND herself, and he said she would
not come, and If did not give it, that as she
had no character to lose she would make it
warm for me. simply told him to get out,
and then the next thing that | knew | was
| arrested as was going to the train. 1t was
shameless, scandalous proceeding, and
| some one may have to suffer for it."
"What about borrowing SEC, 900 from Miss
| Hill and making contract to marry herr"
"That is lie out of the whole cloth;
| never borrowed a cent from a woman In my
whole life; and as for making a contract. to
marry, am pretty old fish, and that kind
| Of bait won't catch me-"
i"Did you give her ST., 900 before you eft?"
| "What an idea! am not throwing slices
OF money around in that way. Now, don't
want TO say anything at all about this matter
in the papers, but this woman may compel
me to say something unpleasant; for | un
derstaDd she is very decetful. She dabbled
some in stocks. She has noble father, who
was an eminent lawyer in st. Louis. She
made scene once in a lawyers Office in San
Francisco, where she dramatically took pois-
on, and the lawyer had her carried off to the
police station. have had some bitter re-
marks made upon me, but this is the basest
and most wicked. It was not made for po-
litical effect, for am not in politics, but it
was made purely and wholly for the purpose
of blackmaiI, and l won't be blackmailed
out of a dollar"
Speaking Of politics Senator Sharon said
that the Pacific slope Republicans were reor-
ganizing and would be in good shape for
1884 He thought that both California and
Nevada could be redeemed. Senator Jones
of Nevada was now in San Francisco. There
was little doubt that he would be reelected

THE dispatch stating that the courts of
California had decided "railways should only
be taxed on the value Of their property after
deducting the amount for which II Is mort
gagged Is an outgrowth of the sentiment
against what is known as "double taxation"
To this latter theory many people Of CALI
fornia and other States and Territories have
been violently opposed, and that opposition
has, we understand, developed In the State
Constitution OF California the provision I'M
der which the courts held rs above. As
yearly all railroads are mortgaged up 10 their
full value, the result will be neither Calfor-
mia nor any other State where such Is the law
will derive any considerable taxes from that
source, and property holders will begin to
see after little that In escaping one evil
they have incurred a greater. Montana
taxes property at It's value, or Is supposed to-:
at the same time If that property is encurn-
bered by debt the obligation Is also taxed.
This Is, after all, not 80 great wrong or
hardship as might at first thought be sup
posed. Taxation is tyranny TO which we
submit for the common good that life and
property may be protected. The govern
ment In consideration therefor undertakes TO
protect every man In bis rights. II A has
title 10 house worth $1,000, he pays taxes
on that amount TO be protected In his rights
to It. But he may owe D $500 on that prop
erty for which holds note or mortgage;
therefore b pays taxes on $500 TO. be pro-
tected In his rights In the premises, and the
government in consideration Of such taxes
undertakes to protect him. We believe, a.
ter I'll, this Ia pretty good system--better
than the California one, where railroad
company by mor.gaging the property may
eyade lis share Of the burdens OF govern
,nent but will be among the last 70 reiin-
ouIsh ia claim upon the State for protection
ln ali lie rights. This 10 aquestion TO which
our constitution makers should give grave
consideration.

The North West Mems, of Portland, Or
dlnarily well.informed paper, is q little
"ofr" on an argument IL has on hand at pres
ent. 1t seems the government is presenting
the natives Of st. Lawrence Bay with rides,
ETC., for friendly services done to Comman.
der Berry Of the Rodgers, and the white
people of st. Michaels object on the ground
that the inherent disposition of the st. Law
renee Bay Indians to trade will result In
some of these rifles falling into the hands Of
the Norton Sound savages, who are likely to
make trouble. The Mems thinks there Is
nothing In this protest from the st. Michaels
people, but they are right and 1t is wrong
this time. A great deal of trouble on the
frontier has resulted from like causes. A
bad Indian will give his last horse for agood
gun, and white man or friendly Indian will
let IL 70 when he gets two prices for IL. The
next thing the bad Indian has his horse again
and probably the scalp Of the man he bought
the gun from-or the scalp of some Of his
neighbors. "a
