A RAILROAD RUMOR.
II IL Whispered That the Govern
ment Will Take the Union
Pacific Main Line.

Railroad rumors are constantly agitat-
ing the crcumambient air Many OF
them are based on good grounds, but far
the greater portion are found to be idle
gossip. Among the latest reports con-
corning the Union Pacific is one that the
company is preparing to surrender its
main line to the Government under u
foreclosure of the first mortgage, in event
OF such step becoming necessary. The
proposed plan is to run in another track
from Valley station, which track would
give them their own line to Denver by
way OF Lincoln, thence to the Kansas
Pacific, which road they also operate and
own. By building branch to the Ore
gon Short line at Granger they would
then have through line to the coast OF
the Pacific. Thus they could let the
Government take the main line, on
which the mortgages are piled to
such IL heavy extent. In connec-
ton with the report, man about
town said yesterday: II don't know but
this would be the best thing for the peo-
pie and all concerned. | am not sure
but it would be an excellent thing-thus
having line across about hall the CONT
nent and under Government control. 1t
would serve as a check upon the other
great lines OF railroad to prevent pooling
and the placing OF the rates OF tariff at so
high a figure. The lateral lines would
serve as feeders to this road, and they
would have an assurance OF equitable
rates OF transportation. Just think OF it..
Such line could be extended across the
remaining portion Of the continent to the
coast OF the Atlantic, and when the
necessity arose, as it surely would if it
doesn't now, the Government could
place check on all pools, eXtor-
Tomato rates and such determinations
as now exists against the city OF Omaha.
Just think OF that. Looks beautiful ell ?
Such road would have a two-iOld
capacity-it would be a source OF revenue
to the government, and it would very
much tighten the burdens OF the people.
1t may not be carried into effect right
away, but shouldn't be surprised to see
it done some day, and | am inclined to
think it is within the bounds OF proba-
bility, and believe that it is something
that will be adopted in the future" The
general manager OF the Union Pacific is
away at present, and could not, there
fore, be approached about the rumor.
Other officers OF the road could only
smile and shake their heads doubtiuly.
In all human probability the rumor has
little foundation, but it is given for what
il is wOrth.-Omdhu HcrdId

APEX UP.
A Good Many Would-be Buyers, Hut
No sellers.

4 rumor on the street this morning
that there had been big strike in the
Apex mine, at Park City, produced some
excitement among holders OF the stock,
and considerable activity in mining cir
cles. What the nature OF the strike is
cannot be learned at present, but all the
stockholders are confident that it is
something good, and they are clinging
on to their shares. Yesterday the stock
was at fourteen cents and this morning
there were many offers OF twenty cents,
and so far as can be learned, no one
would sell.
This is the first time that Apex has
been at all "hush " in some years, and
those who paid high price for it in bet
ter days are in hopes OF getting even on
the present rise. a great number OF
shares were bought few years ago as
low as seven cents, and some OF the
stock went even lower than that. The
fact that there are so many parties want
ing to buy the stock at the present adj
vanced figure, is the best indication Of
the mines present prosperity and future
hopes that could be had. There is no
doubt that the holders. will yet make Il
good stake by selling, or else enjoy the
proceeds OF nice fat dividends.

Wal Ell Wards Lecture.

The audience at the Theatre last night
was very small as is always the case on
the occasion OF lecture, but those
present seemed we'll satisfied with the
entertainment The lecture was made
interesting by the introduction OF songs
and by the relation OF many entertaining
stories. Mr.. Ward has pleasing de-
livery, and this, coupled with ready use
OF words and good idea OF what in
terests an audience, will not allow the
evening to pass tediously. He and his wife
and child all dress in the native Palestine
costumes, and thus give an idea of the
subject not to be obtained in any other
way. 1t would be useless to 90 into the
details OF the entertainment, as all can
we'll afford to attend.
He lectures again tonight OH Mecca
and the Mahometan religion, and should
have a good audience.

THE ELECTION.
Everything Quiet and Voting Very
Light-LOyal Citizens Doing
Their Duty.
The Democratic Ticket Holding It's
Own In the Fifth Precinct.
The "PeOple" Have a Large Majority
In the Second Precinct-The Vote
at the Other Polls.

To-day has been very quiet one at all
the polling places. The voters have
dropped in at intervals, with little rush
in the morning and at noon time, but at
no time has the crowd been large enough
to make much of q stir 1t is a notice
able fact that Democrats, Republicans
and non-Mormon Mugwumps have come
forward in force to the support OF Colonel
Ferry, and the prospects are that
he will have good showing
against the Mormon candidate The
Saints are not out in Their
usual force and though they are OF course
sure of large majority, there is no rca-
son to believe that their vote will be
heavier than on former occasions, when
there was no opposition. This is partly
due to negligence, but it is safe to say
that at least as few of them remained
away from the polls for the reason that
they knew Peoples Ticket" would be
showed into their hands whether they
wished it or not.
1t was pleasing to see such staunch
| Republicans rs Ex-Governor Murray,
Major Erb, Colonel HOLSTER and numer-
Gus others lay aside their party feelings
to cast their votes against the misrepre-
sentation OF Utah Democracy. The Re
publicans did good work in helping out
their Democratic fellows and have earned
the gratitude OF the loyal Utah Demo-
Gratis.
AT TIE CITY HALL,
The Fifth Precinct polling place, the vot'
ing was lighter than usual, but during
the morning hours Colonel Ferry's sup
porters were in the majority. AT noon
time there was quite little rush and
the peoples" ticket had little boom
Up to o'clock the total votes cast there
was 240, divided about evenly between
Ferry and Caine. The place was quie
all day, and one standing Il few PAGES
from the door would never imagine tina
voting was going on.
AT THE COURT HOUSE,
The second Precinct poll, the voting wa
even lighter than at the City Hall. III
to o'clock the total number was abou
200, OF which Mr.. Ferry will claim but
small minority This place had tn
usual rush during the noon hour, bu
outside OF that the vicinity was very
quiet.
Al THE OTHER PLACES.
At the First Precinct, Ninth ward tn
Third, Nineteenth ward, and the Fourth
5 Twentieth ward, the vote was light \
| definite returns have been received fror
those places, but they will likely pc
y even lighter vote than the other prc
a cincts, and Colonel Ferry will, as Il ma
+ ter OF course, receive the minority

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
DANvILLE, February 2, 1886.
The people Of Franklin county seem
TO be alive to the importance Of the new
road from this city to the west through
that county. At meeting of the citi-
zens of the town Of Rocky Mount, held
on January 90, 1886, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolred, That such a railroad (be-
tween Danville and Roanoke ria Rocky
Mount) would be Of inestimable value
to the town Of Rocky Mount and the
county of Franklin, and that we believe
that the most advantageous route for
said road would be by this place, so as
to intersect the rich ore-beds Of Frank
lin.
Resolred, That we express our in
terest in the proposed road by every
effort in its aid; that the Chair be re-
quested to appoint q committee Of five
to confer with the friends Of the pro-
posed road, assure them Of our interest
and hearty cooperation in the project,
call their attention to the advantages of
aroute which will include Rocky Mount,
ascertain the prospects Of the same, and
report to future meeting, which shall
be subject to the call Of the chairman.
ResOlred, That in the event Of de-
finite proposition to build the projected
road by way Of our town We will
actively canvass for subscription in its
behalf.
Our people are highly delighted with
the nomination of Mr.. James Z. School
field. The county people did not make
a very vigorous fight for their candidate,
MIR. Clark, and all will support Mr..
Schoolfield with vim. 1t is said that
Mr.. William E. Sims will put ticket
in the field on election-day and try to
catch the Democrats mapping.
All day long yesterday tobacco
wagons passed into the city, and we
have to-day the largest break Tor some
time past.
The Corporation Court is in session
but no cases Of importance have as yet
claimed the attention of the court.

Aseries OF Fires.

A Norfolk letter, dated Monday,
says:
About s O'Clock yesterday morning
An accidental fire at the saw-mill Of Lee
q Hanley, Centreville. Norfolk county,
totally destroyed the works, together
with some stock. Loss about $1,000
insured.
Early yesterday morning an accidental
fire in this city, on the corner of James
and Queen streets, totally destroyed
the grocery store of Mrs. Sarah Car
rick, building and stock. Later, at :
O'Clock, another fire took place on the
corner Of Brewer and Willoughby
streets, in two-story building occupied
by colored people, which was quickly
destroyed. The inmates lost every
thing, and one woman named Brown
was badly burned before she could
escape from her room.
In Portsmouth last night the steam
tug Ida, belonging to Henry Baker.
again caught fire from a stove-pipe and
had her cabin destroyed, while lying
in the slip at the foot of County street.
Two weeks ago the Ida was badly dam
aged by fire in the same slip, and had
just been repaired. 1t is said there
was no insurance on the boat.
About 2o'clock this morning frame
dwelling on the west end Of County
street, belonging to David Council, was
set on fire and consumed before the
fire department could render any assist
ance. There was no insurance.

Humorous Construction.

The Philadelphia Ne,cs, in discussing
"Reasons for Removal" says:
but the Constitution clearly makes
the Senate responsible with the Presi-
dent when it says appointments shall
be made by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, for by impllca-
ton that body only consents to appoint
ments for good and sufficient reasons,
one of which must be that the removal
of an official is also for good and suffi-
cient reasons"
Could anything be more broadly hui
morous than the above? Could any
thing better illustrate that the American
humorist cannot be kept down? Zone
of which must be that the removal OF
an official is also for good and sufficient
reasons" That's very funny. However,
by the time the Supreme Court and the
Republican newspapers get through con-
STRUNG the Constitution the public will
be at loss to know whether the
fathers " intended that instrument as q
serious, solemn writing or as ahuge joke.
