O'Clock this Morning.

G. H. Pierce, who has been i'll for ten
days and very sick and unconscious since
last Friday, died at 1:l5 O'Clock this
morning at the family residence on Fer
guson street.
The dead man was SIS years of age and
has spent more than half his life in the

and worked at the trade. For ten years
he was a prominent citizen of Leayen-
worth, Kan.
Mr.. Pierce. or Capt. Pierce as he has
always been called, engaged in the min
ing and stock raising business when he
came to Colorado and now has a fine
ranch in hat state. In Denver he man
aged club rooms at various times.
About eight years e Capt, Pierce
came to Cheyenne and opened club rooms
which business he has followed here since.
At the time of his death he was part pro
prietor OF the Gold Room.
Mrs. Pierce, who is in every way an
admirable woman, survives the captain.
A man who was s~crupulously honest in
all his dealings, who was charitable to the
fullncss of his big heart. and who would
scorn to do a mean act or speak lily Of
another. has gone to his last rest. Peo-
pie may find fault with his calling, but
no man can complain that he was ever
treated uniustly by Capt. Pierce, or that
the dead man ever failed to keep a prom

Above is listed the Union Pacific Chey.
enne Improvements definitely settled upon
for the current year, though the work
will in all probability lap over unto 1891.
The aggregate cost OF construction
planned will be $275 900, and perhaps
more.
There will be no delay in continuance
of the work here. contracts calling for the
performance of labor and furnishing Of
material will be entered into in a short
time, and there is every likelihood that
work not scheduled will be undertaken.
for scarcely a day passes without the
future necessity for some new building
becoming apparent.
Construction work will employ an army
of builders. Thousands upon thousands
of dollars will be expended in equipping
shops and when completed they will be
manned to their full capacity.
These statements are based on exclus.
i've LEADER information received from
Omaha. A Union Pacific collapse alone
can alter the plans.
THE PRESENT ASPECT.
Machinery is being set as rapidly as
possible in the new shops, but it is slow
work at best. Each tool is of great weight
and the handling is difficult, but the task
of placing them is being carried forward
with expediency under the able direction
of Superintendent Munroe. Great care
and rare judgment are required to be ex-
ercised in the setting of tools.
So soon as four engines now on the
stocks are repaired much machinery will
be removed from the old to the new
shops. The present operated shop is to
be a boiler shop in the new plant. This
last mention is a reminder of the fact that
boilers for the new shop are expected inAa
short time.
Mr.. Pullman will in a day or two com
mence the construction of two scrap iron
furnaces.
Work on the Smith, llette contract OF
car repair shop and coal chutes is pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
Machinery is costly. One tool in the
new shop is catalogued at something over
$4,000.
MR.. HUNTLEY LEAVES
R. L. Huntley. who has been engineer
in charge Of shop construction here
ever since the work commenced has been,
on lis own request, transferred to the
bridge department and will leave for Oma'
ha in a couple OF days. Mr.. Huntley,
who is a genial and accommodating gen
tleman is young. but has held responsible
positions with the Union Pacific and othel
roads and it is the earnest wish OF many
Cheyenne friends who regret his depar
ture that he will continue to advance il
his chosen field. G. R. Dart, his assistant
and chief draughtsman, will remain here
H. c. Relf, another OF the Union Pa
cific's bright young men, is to succeed Mr.
Huntley. Mr.. Relt had charge of tn,
