Union Pacific Surveying Parties
Leaving Cheyenne.
ABOUT HOLC0MB.

The most startling railway rumor set
afloat for many a day, reached the city
last evening. 1t is to the effect that
Vice President Holcomb is to be requested
to resign-actuallY notified that his ser
vices as prime minister of the Union Pa
cifc are no longer required. The rumor
first appeared in the Chicago Journal a
most conservative paper and was wired
to the Omaha Bee, a sheet which ranks
away up for railway news and which has
been phenominally successful as a
prophet.
The report has en- element of plausi-
bility about it and while it was talked of
here not a little of course could not be
au~thoritatively contradicted or affirmed. 1t
is certain, however, that a p~rodigious of
fetal row has been in progress at Omaha
for several months and Mr.. Holcomb's
retirement would be a very natural out
come OF the bitter factional fight.
BAXTER's SUCCESSOR.
Railway operatives here say that A.
Eurgens, formerly in the Union Pacific
offices here and a man of twenty years
experience, will succeed r. w. Baxter as
assistant superintendent &C Evanston. 1t
is said that he will be called trainmaster.
This is doubted, as Mr.. Eurgens is not
known to any members of the new man
agement.

THE HORSE IN MOTION.
Splendid Instantaneous Photographs
Taken by C. ID. Kirkland.


For ages the smile for natural beauty
and grace has been pretty as a horse at
full speed" As a matter of fact the
horse on the move, said to relate, looks
most ungainly. Race track ~frequenters
will of course dispute this, but it has
been established beyond the peradven-
ture of a doubt.
The art of instantaneous photography
has dispelled the illusion and demon
strates once more the tendency of the hui
man eye to deceive its owner.
A LEADER representative called at the
studio of Photographer @. ID. Kirkland
yesterday and was shown numerous pic
lures made by the artist with the aid Of
his instantaneous apparatus during the
races here last fall. Mr.. Kirkland is the
premier of Western artistslin portraiture
and is attracting attention by his splendid
work with instantaneous instruments.
Indeed. he is about completing an instan-
taneous instrument of his own design and
manufacture, an improvement upon the
ameras in the market.
But to the pictures. Here is a series
of SIX remarkably clear ones with Dan
Hogan and his hurdle horse Foxhound as
the subject. Hurdle racing is the most
picturesque of all speed contests. but OF
the half a dozen views only a pair show
the rider and horse as they appea to the
naked eye when in action. Approaching
the hurdle the horse Is seen in ungainly
Attitudes in the trot, canter, run and gath
ering for the leap. In mid air as he
takes the sticks like a bird in flight and
alights with agility, confidence and uncon-
Germ he is a picture for an artist, and the
one that evokes cheers. The correct style
for hurdle riding is s~plendidly shown in
this series, and every amateur should have
a set. The mastery of horse over man is
clearly shown. While in the air Hogan
seemed to be pulling Goxhound's lower
jaw from place. AS the descent is made
rein is slackened and the animal landed
nicely.
In one hurdle race last fall a horse fell
and the rider was thrown. A picture
taken while the pair were in the air
shows the cause OF the mishap. The
rider stood In the stirrups instead of rest
ing on the saddle. The landing threw
him on the animals neck.
Mr.. Kirkland caught Wanita, A. G.
Beckwith's $40, 900 trotting flley in full
speed in the fastest part of a mile made
in 2:32. The great colt had one front
and one hind foot in the air and looked
as though she might be paving the earth
from Still. she was moving
at a merry clip.
Several running race pictures by Mr..
Kirkland are very fine. In one there are
six horses in full speed, and every animal
and rider is readily recognizable.
Mr.. Kirkland purposes testing his new
instrument on flying pigeons during a
shooting match.

Score One For The Tramp.

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-THE story of
an unknown tramp's heroism comes
from Council Bluffs. lie was walking
on the Chicago and Northwestern
track from Council Bluffs to Missouri
Valley, and between Crescent and
Stony Greek, he found broken rail
on q high embankment where the road
makes a sharp curve. IL was an out
side rail, next to the river, and no
train could have passed over in safety.
The next train due was tho limited
passenger, and he resolved to avert a
terrible wreck, If possible. He ran to
Honey Creek, three miles and tried to
raise the operator, who was not at his
post. lie then aroused the section
hands and they took the hand car and
went to the broken rail, arriving just
in time to flag the limited and stop It
within few feet of almost certain de-
struction.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 15.-The
most brilliant social event in the his

ing Of the handsome new armory of
the Woodstock Guards Of that city
last night, but 1t concluded in most
disastrous manner. A delicious sup
per was served during the evening,
and all of the guests, having been fa-
tigued by the dancing, ate freely.
About midnight all Of them, between
sixty and one hundred in. number,
were seized with violent pains in the
stomach, and all of the physicians in
the town were called into requisition.
The ice cream had been poisoned.
Stomach pumps and antidotes of all
kinds were used, but for a while 1t
looked as though twenty or thirty of
the guests would not recover. As yet
none Of them are dead, but several are
still III. Whether the cream was poi
soncd for purpose or from the metal
vessel IN which II Lad been prepared is
II known positively.

fHE RAnE FLANr.


Columbia, 5. c., Sept. 1O.-Dr. G. +.
Pankin, a well-known chemist Of
Charleston, Is perfecting an invention
for utilizing the bSrk Of the ramie
plant as a complete substitute for cot
ton. A great revolution in the cotton
industry is thus promised. DR.. Pankin
has placed ON exhibition here q large
roll of ramie which has been prepared
and treated by his process. By look
ing at the roll 1t is easy to conclude
that the method is perfect, although
the method is, and win be for some
time, a secret. The product is devoid
Of gum or particles Of the bark, and
each filiment as distilled, is as glossy
and transparent as strand of silk.
The roll has been bleached, but not
carded or combed. When this last
process has been applied, which any
one can do for himself with his fingers,
1t viii exhibit itself more advantage
ously. DIR. Pankin says that he Is now
perfecting a machine by which he can
produce the stuff ON commercial
scale. With the machine he uses now
he has prepared quantity Of the ar
ticle similar 10 that ON exhibition.
The stalks of ramie are first split long
itudinally in halves, or as nearly 'iat
proportion as possible. These slips
are then passed through an apparatus
similar to a iiuting machine, which
breaks the weed into small pieces,
which are easily detached from the
bark, which Is left in long ribbons.
Tho secret lies In extracting the gum
absolutely from this ribbon, removing
at the same time all the finer particles
of bark. II Is learned that the cost of
by the chemical process
will not be SO large as to make the
Improbable. On the con-
trary, II Is said the cost per bale or pcr |
pound win not exceed that for the |
preparation for the market tho equiv
alcnt amount oflong cotton. DIR. Pan
kin Is now In communication with
business men in New York who are |
interested in the discovery. Some
thing very interesting in the way of
development of the industry may be
therefore shortly expected.

A Pathetic Scene Exhumed.


In May last the workmen who were
digging the fountain for the new law
courts In Rome discovered q sarcophs-
gus buried thirty feet below tho sur
face. Immediately the telephone call
ed to the spot the members Of the
archaeological commission, scientific
and literary men who watch with jesl-
GUS care all the excavations made In
the Eternal City. Under their direc-
tions II was carefully raised aud
opened.
Within lay the skeleton OF q young
girl. says the Youths Companion, with
tho remains of the linen In which she
had been wrapped, some brown leaves
from the myrtle wreath with which,
cmblematic of her youth, she had been
crowned In death.
On her hands were four rings, Of
which ono was the double betrothal
ring Of plain gold, and another with
Filetus, the name of her betrothed, en-
graved upon 1t. A large aud most
exquisite amethyst breach, In Etruscan
setting of tho finest work, carved am
Der pins and gold nccklct with white
small pendants were lying about.
But what is most strange, as being
almost unique, was doll of oak wood,
beautifully carved, the joints articu-
lated so that tho legs and arms aud
hands move on the sockets, the hands
and feet daintily cut with small and
delicate nails. The features and the
hair were carved out In the most min
ute and careful way, the hair waving
and low OH the forehead and being
bound with flllet.
On the outside Of the sarcophagus
was sculptureu her name, Iryphaena
Creperla, and touching scene, doubt
less faithfully representing her parting
with her parents. She Is lying on a
low bed, and striving to raise herself
on her left arm to speak TO her heart
broken father, who stands leaning on
her bedstead, his head bowed with
grief, while her mother sits on the
bed, her head covered and weeping.
II seems but yesterday, SO natural is
the scene; and yet Il was nearly eigh-
teen centuries ago that these stricken
parents laid SO tenderly away their
dearly beloved daughter, with her Or
naments and her doll.
