to his coming back to the latter road
It is stated that George Dickinson
general uperintendent of the Montana
Union, and who is brother of General
superintendent Dickinson, of the Union
Pacific, has rendered his resignation
and that Law is to be mis- successor
The return of Vice President Holcombe
is expected to-day, and in the near
future afterward it is intimated that the
official guillotine will be set in opera
ton. That the coming of Law is g
forecast of something of this kind is
universally conceded. ..-.-
another rumor that has just been
started is to the effect that at an early
date the resignation of General Super
intendent Dickinson would find its way
to the vice presidents table. 1t was
stated by Vice. President Holcombe
when interviewed by reporter for the
Bee several days ago, that the matter OF
| abolishing the department of general
superintendent was at that time being
considered, but just what the result
would be or how soon it would be &C.
complished he did not state. It is
stated at headquarters that Laws mis-
sion here was for the purpose of con-
sultiDg Holcombe, but additional in
formation was cleaned to the effect
that the conference would most likely
result in Mr.. Law connecting himself
with the management of the Union Pa
citic in the near future. Whether be
will be given the position of assistant
general manager instead of Cumming
who formerly occupied this position, is
the point in question"
NEW TRAIN SERvrcE
The Chicago-Omaha railroads are
discussing the feasibility of making
another radical change IN the PAS
senger train service. If the proposed
new scheme is carried into effect all
the territory west and southwest from
Chicago will be affected by it. It is
known that the Northwestern has been
working for several days on a new
time table that Will greatly rearrange
the trains between Omaha and Chi
cago, and also add to the present SER
vice through vestibule train from
Chicago to Denver. The Burlington
people declare, however, that they have
no fear of this being done. One of
the NorthTestern's propositions for its
Though train is 10 cross the river at
Blair and strike the Union Pacific at
Fremont. The latter corporation is
also arranging to make important
changes. They propose to fix it so that
the Overland flyer" will leave Omaha
at 5 cl rk p. H., the slow train at II
out abou. am. By this arrangement
the Overland flyer" would catch the
slow train and pass it at CHEYENNE
1t is believed that the morning Denver
train means the Northwestern through
vestibule. In the meantime the
Golden Gate special" runs independent
and has clear track.

THE Railway Age prints table giving
the names of railroadg sold under fore
closure during the cllondar year Just
closed. It includes nineteen roads,
with 1886 miles and $64 ,555 900 of bonds
and stocks. The years record is the
smallest of the last four years. The
number of roads placed under receivers
by the courts during the past year is
twenty-five, with 270 miles of road
and $186, 814 900 stocks and bonds. These
figures are much larger than those for
either of the previous two years, but
smaller than those for 1885 or 1884.
AS SOON as winter retires and gives
spring a chance, and when the frost
has gone out of the ground, several
hundred able-bodied men will COM
mence relaylng the main line track OF
the Union Pacific road in Nebraska
with new steel rails. The rails are
from the North Chicago rolling mills,
and are part Of lot contracted from
Mr.. Blaine's coachman, Andrew
Carnegie. The standard rail weighs
pounds to the yard, but these
weigh seventy-five and are of the best
quality known. Fifteen miles OF these
will be laid in the spring, beginning at
Omaha. The old steel will be taken up
and the new substituted.
THE woman suffragists have been
given another chance to show how they
are Disseminated against. The rules
adopted by the railways of the Western
Freight Association in regard to free
passage for persons accompanying car
loads CT cattle contains the following
clause: Women not to be passed in
charge of live stock" This is hardly
fair. There are great many women
who are stock raisers and stock owners,
and if they desire to escort their ami
mails to market why shouldn't they be
passed. If they desire the glorious
privilege now accorded the male sex
alone, Of sitting up all night in order
to see that none Of the animals lie
down, why should they not be allowed
to do go?
IT is said to be not at all unlikely that
in the near future Assistant General
Manager MelIen, of the Union Pacific,
will tender his resignation and sever
his connection with that road. Inter
viewed lately on the subject, he said:
Eyes, it is true have been rendered an
