test the amount of cement used, he re-
quirod tho attendants on one occasion to

tunnel. The next morning no found six
bricks. indicating the consumption OF six
barrels OF cement, while the space covered
by masonry the day before, il the work
had been properly performed. would have
required about forty barrels. He reported
what he considered the irregularities to
his superiors, and was reproved for it.
The joint affidavit Of the brothers, George
and William Kendall bricklaycrs, was
read. They charged that unskilled labor
was purposely secured by the contractors,
and that one man was supposed to do the
work of three.
Lieut.. Townscnd's report TO Mai. Ly-
decker upon the tunnel work was then
read. He credits the discovery of the To-
calities OF the defective work to the
courtesy or the reports OF the city press, in
designating them. He finds the brick
work invariably good, but the masonry
packing in some localities is found TO be
"criminally bad"
Col. Craighill called the attention OF the
court to the fact that work on the tunnel
will cease within few days and repre-
sented that IL was important that the court
should see the work while IL is in progress.
The motion was adopted

City to Chicago 60 per cent Two of the
Kansas City roads run from the Territory
through to Chicago, but they have not
been able to control this traffic satisfacto-
rily, and are said to have taken steps that
are not approved by the other roads. Be-
ing unable to send cars of cattle through
over their own lines, they refuse to bill
at through rate, but charge connecting
lines local rates to Kansas City. II the
lines east from Kansas City take the bust
ness from Kansas City to Chicago at full

determined to take any cars coming to

In Favor Of the aur,,ns,o,.

LINCOLN, Ncb,, Oct 26-rho supreme
court has handed down decision in tho
Burling railroad case in favor OF the com
pany. The suit was originally brought by
Attonoy-Genera Lees in the name of the
State, asking by what authority the Q road
operated the Burlington 4 Missouri in
this State, while il was not Incorporated
under the laws Of Nebraska, or else that
the Burlington 4 Missouri be operated rs
an independent organization. Tho dc.
cision of the supreme court was 10 the el-
feet that the 90 need not incorporate
here, and the result will be that the con-
solldation with the Burlington q Missouri
in 1880 will now DO effective, and does
away with the separate existence OF the
two roads. The attempt was 10 make the
burlington road proper amcnablc to the
laws OF Nebraska.
