IMPORTANT CHANGES.
News In and About the Local HaiI-
way OFFICES.

Some very important changes will be
made within day or two in the local
Office OF the Union Pacific Railroad
The most noticeable OF these is caused
by the resignation OF Mr.. $. c. Nash,
who has for a long time past creditably
filled the position OF general freight agent
of the road. Mr.. Nash leaves to secure a
more lucrative "lay out" with one of the
other great roads, the name OF which he
is as yet reticent about divulging.
His place will be filled by
Mr.. w. f. Mcmillan, who was
formerly assistant general freight agent
of the road at Omaha, lie is an excel
lent railroad man and promises to do
we'll in his new field. He arrived from
the East last night, and will take his new
Office Immediately.
Another change is the promotion Of
Mr.. Blair, who has held good position
in the traffic department here, and who
will now hold the Office OF general agent
OF the freight department OF the road at
Sacramento.
Then the Ogden union ticket office also
has new face. Mr.. Alb. Stringham, Il
Utah-bon boy, comes TO the front as
assistant agent in the place OF Mr.. X. n.
Hume, whonow goes with the U. p. road
Salt Lake will miss the old boys, but at
the same time will try TO make it pleas
ant for the new.

TO-DnY,s session.

The examination was again taken up
Mt 10 o'clock this morning and all the wit
nesses were again present.
Mr.. Dickson began by calling
II. q. M'MILLAN.
The clerk OF the Third District Court,
who said that the indictment against
Angus was filed on the 9TH OF February,
1885, and that he was sentenced on the
22d OF May, in the same year. Excused.
MIR. DICKSON
Then asked that the charge OF polygamy
(having married Hattie Harker on a GER
tain date be dismissed, and asked that
the other cases 90 over until Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock. lie gave as a
reason for the continuance, the fact that
the Marshal had been unable to produce
certain necessary witnesses and that he
was confident OF getting them by Thurs
day.
MIR. RICHARDS
Strongly objected TO this on the ground
that the case had already been continued
several times for the benefit OF the prose-
cution, and that to keep the matter pend
ing any longer would be hardship to
the defendant.
The Judge decided that owing to the
already frequent continuances, the case
should be disposed of now
Mr.. Dickson then asked that the de-
PENDANT be held on the charge OF unlaw-
full cohabtation with Clara G.. Cannon
and Amanda Cannon, and stated that his
evidence was all in.
MRS. ANGUS CANNON, JR.
Was called by the defense and said |
have thought over the subject upon
which testified yesterday, and | think
| got terribly confused think | was mis-
taken about his living there at the time
between the arrest and the sentence.
lie came there once to see me when
was sick and once to see my babies, but
outside of that he did not live there.
Mr.. Dickson gave the defendant very
searching cross examination, but educed
nothing except general rebuttal OF the
testimony she gave yesterday.
THE DEFENSE THEN RESTED,
And Mr.. Dickson said that he did not
care to argue, and thought the defendant
should be held on the testimony OF Mrs.
Angus Nj. Cannon, Jr.
Mr.. Richards said that ii that was all
he didn't care TO argue the case, and was
willing to submit it.
Judge Mckay said that he would take
it under advisement until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, and would then
deliver his decision.

SLICK BUSINESS.
The Twentieth Ward Afflicted By u
COunterfeit-Pass Asks
For Change.
He Tries to Work His Scheme on the
Ladies, but Flees Before the
Wrath of Men.
lie Has Fortunately Met With Little
Success--LOOk Out For Him,
Ladies.

The latest scheme in the way OF under
hand financial business has been devel-
oping itself in the Twentieth ward within
the past few days, and last night was
shown up to man who desires to have
the matter looked into.
1t appears that for some days past a
man whom no one seems to be able to
describe accurately, has been going the
the object OF passing counterfeit money.
He goes to different houses and first in
quires whether or not the lord of the
mansion is in, and in case he receives an
affirmative answer, he asks where Mr..
So-and-so lives and takes speedy de-
parture. In an instance, however, where
there happens TO be only ladies' in the
house he draws from his pocket a bill OF
greater or less denomination and politely
ASKS FOR CHANGE.
AS it is not usual for man to 20 about
to different houses from day to day, in
order to get few bills changed, the only
rational conclusion is that his bills are
bad and that he does not care to risk try
ing to pass them off on store-keepers or
even anyone OF the male sex.
Last evening just at dusk the fellow
went to certain house in the ward
named and asked ii Mr.. H was in
| (meaning the owner OF the residence).
He was told Mr.. H was in the gar
den and would be back in Il moment
He then hurriedly produced new 50
bill and asked the lady who had gone to
the door if she could change that for him
However, almost before she could answer
"no," footsteps were heard at the back
door, and taking the alarm the rascal
fled down the street on dead run, and
before the gentleman could get to the
'front.' door OF the house the man was a
block away.
His hurried manner and his evident
fright at the approach OF the host, were
convincing evidence of the fact that he
was not in good business.
So far as can be learned at present
NO ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN,
but stories come OF repeated efforts which
he has made within week.
Another suspicious circumstance is the
n8wness OF the bills he handles, which
has been noticed in every case and which
would seem to indicate that he has q
little treasury department OF his own
from which to draw.

The parlors of the Presbyterian parson-

last, the occasion being a concert for the
benefit of the organ fund of the church.
1t is proposed to build up such fund,
looking towards the purchase ola pipe
organ. The projectors of this scheme,
the Young Peoples Aid Society, were
much encouraged over the results of the
opening entertainment, as the concert
was success in its execution, and was
no less so financially.
The programme was opened accepta-
bly, by piano Duet, Miss Wilson and
Mr.. Nassau. Mr.. VIM. Cook followed
with Bonnie Doom" violin solo, and
responded to an encore. "InAammatus
ct Accensus," from Rossini's "Stabat Ma

rus, attracted favorable attention. Read
ings, by Miss Bridgman and Miss Will
liams, quartettes, instrumental solos and
Duets, and vocal trio, made up the re-
mainder of the attractive programme.
"Sancta Maria" trio, by soprano, alto,
and tenor, was encored. "The Boatman'a
Good Night" quartette, was the closing
selection.

A Railroad Accident.

On Saturday morning of last week, the
report reached this town that man had
been killed at McConaughey's crossing
Cornoner Widdoes drove out and found
that report was correct. A colored man
living close by the crossing heard some
one calling during the night, but was
afraid to venture out to ascertain what
was the matter. About daylight rap
was heard at the door of the aforesaid
colored mans house, and on opening he
found a man there who told him that a
man was lying a short distance away dy-
ing, having been struck with the cars, he
thought. A lantern was procured and
they found the unfortunate man with
both legs crushed and mangled. The
man was not dead. He had fallen from
passing freight train, on which he was
stealing ride. He was carried to the
house of the colored man, where he
shortly afterwards died, having told
those present that his name was Patrick
Tole, and that his home was in New
York State Undertaken Palmer was
notified and took charge of the body. 1t
is that of a man aged about 50 years,
roughly clad. In his pockets were found
copy of the bylaws of the Good Tenn
plars and letter written to him from
Hawkins. N. Y.
This man was identified as Patrick
Toole, of Hankin's, Sullivan county. N.
Y. His body was forwarded to relatives
there.

MEssR. Bowen & Bro, Editors of
DELAWARE LEDGER. - DEAR SIRs.-We
take this opportunity to inform the pub
lie of the contemplated series of literary
and musical entertainments to be given
in Mr.. Benjamin Peters Hall next week,
commencing with Monday evening, the
18th and continuing through the week,
including as ! am informed Saturday,
at which time we are all expecting help
and encouragement from Newark. The
specific object is to enable the Good
Teinplars here to complete their outfit
for lodge work, hence a small admission
fee to the entertainments of 10 cents
from each one and ON each night will be
asked. There is to be change of pro-
gram for each night, and from what we
can learn about it, all who may attend
will be permitted to enjoy a rare treat.
The prospect for good weather is encour-
aging and cheering, and also the beauti-
full moonlight nights coming on. We are
hoping TO sec the hall well filled each
night, and the object of the Good Tenn
piars reached. Since the organization of
Christiana Lodge about four months ago,
by the Newark Temperance workers, we
have been prosperous and almost every
lodge night have had limitations. Liquor
