unexpectedly at the depot. 1t was neces-
sary to draw the cars by horses through
the city in order to connect with the
railroad for Washington. As soon as he
heard the news Mayor George William
Brown, accompanied by his marshal of
police, went to the station to do all he
could for the troops. Nine cars were
drawn to the other end of the connection
safely, although the streets were lined
with angry people. The tenth car was
obstructed and mobbed. The soldiers
were compelled to get out and march.
Excited crowds surrounded them. Then
the real fight began. The mob threw
stones and fired pistols. The soldiers
fired wildly and in all directions. The
uproar was furious. Suddenly slender,
intellectual looking man made his way
through the turbulence beside the COM
mander of the troops. His presence had
some effect for time, but very soon the
attack was removed with greater vigor.
The man was Mayor Brown, and he
marched with the commander at the head
of the troops until the destination was
reached During that march twelve citi-
Zens and four members of the Massachu-
sets regiment were killed and thirty six
Of the soldiers were wounded. Mayor

very beautiful, and he speaks German,
Greek, French and Italian. He lived q
quiet, tranquil life part of the time at his
Konak, near Bouyoukdere, and part Of
the time at the Isles of Prince. He has
several children, for whom he had an
English governess and an English physi.
clan. Murad Effendi, as he was then
called, never cared TO reign, but he always
had many friends, who belong to what is
called the New School," which means
''progressivists. They are the young
Turks, who wish the country to shake off
the superstitions and somnolence Of old
Turkey and advance and develop the al.
most inestmable natural resources of
Turkey and establish more Just system
of taxation. These friends plotted several
times before to depose Aziz and put
Murad in his place, but their plans were
always frustrated, and the plotters were
exiled or suppressed, until at last the
tampering with the succession furnished
the pretext, and Aziz was sacrificed.
Murad was then placed upon the
throne. He only remained there u short
time, and he was not girded with the
sword OF Gilman, the royal insignia,
equivalent to coronation, because his
party had more enthusiasm than money,
ana therefore power, and they feared to
take him out of the palace so far as to
reach the mosque of Eyoub, where this
ceremony Is always performed by the
Sheik .ul. Islam. Then there began to be
rumors that he had gone insane, and he
was quietly hustled off TO Tcherigan and
kept close prisoner there. Some say lie
was drugged. and others assert that there
is nothing wrong with him. The writer
of the letter, from which an extract is
made. managed to see Murad, and writes
that he is as sane as he ever was, and
predicts that 1t will not be long before he
will be reinstated on tho throne. How
ever, that will depend upon circum-
stances, as his party will never undertake
SO high handed method again, and will
wait the outcome of Abdul Hands i'll
ness.
Abdul Hamid has six children, four
boys and two girls, though there have
been many more than that, but from

Cost of Manufacturing Brick.

OMAHA, March Ito the Editor of the
BEE: In Tuesdays issue of your paper APP
pears an article estimating the cost of manu-
featuring brick here, according to a manu-
facturer's view, which is much exaggerated.
In behalf of other trades unions of the city
and the public in general, the brick moulders,
many of whom have had as much or more
experience as the manufactures referred TO,
desire to give a truthful statement through
the columns of your valuable paper.
We do admit that there is a difference of
time required to burn brick in different
localities. the impediments arising from diff
ference in clay, etc, but are not so great as
has been cited in the article referred to. For
| instance, he asserts thai brick can be b urned
in Kansas City or st. Louis in from three to
four days. Beg to differ, neighbor, as it
takes from six TO eight days in Kansas City
and from eight TO ten in st. Louis. He
claims that it requires from eleven TO
thirteen days here, but does not remind us
that five or SIX Of those days ara consumed
in clearing off the water smoke, which is a
| trifling expense compared TO actual burning,
as il requires but one man and very little
fuel, The only conclusion we can come to in
regard TO the generosity of the gas managers
of Denver city furnishing coke free of cost
is that they must have a nobler conception
of what constitutes a legal and more honor
able organization, and are perhaps endeavor-
jpg TO down the ''brick trust of Omaha,
He says the price of coal to manufacturers
here runs as high as $3.50 per ton, while we
can prove very cOnclusively that it is laid
down in their yards for S3.l5 per ton. If in
other cities it can be procured cheaper brick
makers here should realize II as only a trlfie
compared to numerous advantages they enjoy
over manufacturers in those other named
places, viz. the ready market, high price al
which brick is sold, cheap labor and the enor-
nous profit derived by the manufacturers
Taking his own words for IT they receive
from $3.50 TO S11 90 per 600, making an av'
erage of $40. % per 1 900.
The amount of brick required TO constitute
a moulder and settlers days work is one
point IN tins country.

their way to the camp. Get out and we
will go down the trail apiece and see
them" We got out of the buggy, and
fastening the horse to Il stunted pine
we descended the other side of the
range on the road to Alma. After a.
most perilous. and torturous walk of
half an hour, on account of the slippery
condition Of the ground, which was COW
cred with snow, my companion led me
TO a point near the old Lead
vile trail, which could be
distinctly seen above us,
against the side of the mountain. Look
ing at his watch, he remarked that 1t
was almost time for them" to appear.
After kicking the snow from a couple of
powders we sat down in silence awaited
developments. My companion would not
say a word, but simply pulled away at a
cigar, his looks being cast in the direc-
ton of the trail. We waited at least
half an hour, but it seemed a week to
me, a cold wind having arisen, and l
was almost frozen and was wishing N.Y.
self at home. Suddenly my companion
clutched me ~nervously by the arm and
pointed to the trail. The sight that /
saw made each individual hair
on my head stand on end, for
there on the trail, coming around
a sharp angle caused by a
bowlder, was a jack train Of twenty
three animals. They all emitted a faint
phosphorescent glow, which made them
appear all the more vivid against the
side of the hill. They were loaded with
different articles of merchandise, and
the last me-, which the spectral driver
was urging on with his short goad,
seemed to be loaded with -four. Every
once in a while, as the train slowly filed
along, this last jack would lean his load
against a projecting rock, as if resting
himself. This would cause the driver
to punch it with his short stick. The
weird specters slowly passed from view
around the hill, and, more dead than
alive from fright, we made our way to
where we had left the horse and buggy.
My companion informed me while on
our way back to the city that this
strange sight could be seen through
any dark night.

Takes Potter's Place.

Charles Francis Adams, president of the
Union Pacific, yesterday issued the following
order from his office at Boston,:
To Heads of Departments and All Con-
cerned Until otherwise ordered, MIR.
Thomas L. Kimball will assume the duties OF
general manager Of this company, with the
title of acting general manager, having head
quarters at Omaha, Neb. Reports hereto
fore made to the general manager will be
sent to him and his instructions obeyed &C
cordingly. Mr.. j. Cameron will act as assist
ant general manager. The acting general
manager will report direct to the president
of the company. This order will take effect
from this date.
The order was not q surprise at the COM
pany headquarters, where it had been eX-
pected and hoped for ever since the death of
Mr.. Potter. Mr.. Kimball's fitness for the
position has been demonstrated. He has
been practically the general manage of the
road since Mr.. Potter's illness. Among
Omaha's citizens who have been informed
of the promotion, the feeling is general that
this city's interests will be in safe hands. In
local railroad circles the general impression
is that Mr.. Kimball's appointment will be
made permanent.
Thomas. l.. Kimball is a native of Maine,
ffty-eight years old, received an academic
education, taught school in New England
until he was twenty-one, followed it up by
engaging in the commercial and express bus
mess for four years, moved westward in
1856, locating in northern Ohio, and finally
settled / in Cincinnati in 1859, There he did
some newspaper writing and reporting and
wrote some stirring circulars for the Penn
s~ylvania railroad company. Then for five
years he was southwestern passenger agent
and finally general western passenger agent
of that line in Cincinnati. In March, 1871,
Thomas A. Scott was elected president of the
Union Pacific railway company and Mr..
Kimball was appointed TO the position of
general passenger and ticket agent of the
Union Pacific. Mr.. Kimball came TO Omaha
and has ever since resided here, During this
long period Mr.. Kimball has remained with
the Union Pacific throughout all changes of
administration For ten years he filled the
office to which he was first appointed, gem
eral passenger and ticket agent. He was
then promoted TO be assistant general mana
ger, which office he filled for four years.
The next three years he was the general
traffic manager of the Union Pacific system,
On September |, 1887, he was appointed as
sistant to the first vice president, from which
position he has Just been promoted.
