U. P. FINANCES.
Plan for Carrying the Floating
Debt for Three Years.
Notes to be Issued at 80 Cents
Bearing 6 Per Cent.
The Amount Involved About
$4,000 900.

NEW York, Sept. 9.-Some misap-
prehension appears to have existed in
financial circles as to the plan to be pur.
sued for carrying the floating debt of the
Union Pacific railroad the next three
years. A prominent bank president to.
day said hat the plan is tor the various
banks, trust companies and other corpo-
~rations and individuals having loans of
the Union Pacific to agree to accept the
company's notes at three years at ninety
TWO cents on the dollar and bearing 6 per
cent interest in payment OF said
loans, ~surrendering their collaterals,
which are to be placed in
escrow with tho syndicate or trustees,
more properly speaking. of whom Morgan
wilt be chief. The syndicate is not to put
up a dollar. The loans aggregate cbout
$l9, 1000, 900, but whether the holders have
all agreed to sign the agreement the gen.
tleman did not know. OF course, if any of
the deposited collaterals appreciate in
value and reach a point at which they can
be disposed of with advantage to the rail-
road company. the syndicate is to sell
them and take up the notes issued against
them pro rata. The banks and trust
companies may not like to tie
up so much money for three
years, but as the notes are to be
issued at ninety-two cents and bear 6 per
cent interest. they will pay about u per
cent. which Is not a bad investment. This
explanation was confirmed at the Union
Pacific office and also by Russell Sage and
Sydney Dillon. 1t was further
learned hat three-iourths of the loan
holders had agreed to the plan and
that the so-c called notes would be in the
shape of certificates or bonds with interest
bearing coupons attached. Dillon said
they would not be listed on the stock ex-
change until at par.

A FRIGHTFUL RUNAWAY.
One Lady Killed and Another Badly
Injured.
LLaramIe RepublIcan.l

Laramie Republican,
Laramie casualty annals do not contain
a greater horror than that recorded about
2 o'clock this afternoon.
The news was brought to the city by
Benjamin Harmed. a lad who claimed to
be the only witness Of the catastrophe's
cause. He resides some distance west Of
the county bridge and saw two ladies
driving in q light wagon. Mrs. Joe Mich
olas was driving. Suddenly her compan-
ion hoisted a sunshade, snd the horse
bolted. As the wagon swsyed Mrs. Nicho-
las fell out, alighting on her head, and
was dragged a considerable distance.
When the vehicle was lightened the
animal dashed along more madly than
ever. The boy devoted his attention to
the PROSTATE figure in the roadway. and
then sought assistance. Having placed
her in the care of a family in the vicinity,
he mounted a horse and hurried for a
doctor. About fifty yards west of the
bridge he found the runaway team in DOS
session OF Mike Coughlin and Howard R.
Ingham. They were hitting a dead girl
into Mr.. Coughlin's wagon.
The Coughlin wagon arrived in the city
about 2:l5 O'Clock. So horribly was the
face OF the unfortunate victim mutilated
that her Identification was impossible.
Mr.. Coughlin stated they found that one
of the unfortunate girls feet had been
caught between an iron side-bar and the
body of the wagon, while she was evil
IDENTIFY e%ndeavoring to jump out. and that
her face had been literally ground to
pulp against the wheel.
Mrs. Nicholas wa removed to the city
and taken to her residence Just as quickly
as a wagon could be secured for that pur-
pose.
At 4 O'Clock this afternoon she was still
unconscious, but DR.. Harris expressed
hopes of her recovery. Her head and
face are badly cut, but there is no frac-
.ure. Her limbs and body are uniniured.
Miss Aldridge's identity was not fully
established until $3.50 O'Clock. when her
uncle. Mr.. Alex Robson. visited the re-
mains at the undertaker's. Her father
died about four years ago and she resided
with her mother in q frame cottage on
Fourth street, between University and
Fremont.

A Wonderful Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young man OF
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been
under the care Of two prominent physi-
clans, and used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption and
incurable. He was persuaded to try DR..
Kings New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds, and at that time was
not able to walk across the street without
resting. He found, before he had used a
half of a dollar bottle, that he was much
better; he continued to use it and is today
enjoying good health. If you have any
throat, lung or chest trouble, try 1t. We

IN THE WEST.

THE Chicago & Grand Trunk railway,
of Canada, has lifted the boycott against
the Chicago & Alton road. This is be-
lieved by some to be the beginning of
the end. The success of the Alton in
securing the Grand Army business for
itself and the Wabash road to Detroit
has apparently been an important factor
in bringing about this result. 1t is said
that in many parts of the west ticket
agents have banded themselves into a
sort of secret society for the purpose of
fighting the enemies and favoring the
friends of the Alton. The prediction Is
made that not few of the eastern lines
will promptly accept the opportunity
afforded by the Grand Trunk to abro-
gate their agreement.
JUSTICE BREWER knocked the Union

terms of the contract. He also decided
that the same ruling should hold good
in the case of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul road against the Union Pa
cific.

went crazy on account of the shooting
and GrOthe is mental wreck.

EARLY DAYS.

building Log Cabin ON tho Desoiato
Frontier.
Log cabin building was great fun to
the boys, although they did not find it
easy work. There was q certain nov
city about she raising of the structure
that was to be home. and an interest
in learning the use of rude tools, that
lasted until the cabin was finished.
The maui and the wedges. the frow
and the little maui intended for 1t. and
all the other means and appliances of
the building were all new and strange
to these bright lads.
First, the size of the cabin, twelve
feet wide and twenty feet long, was
marked out on the site on which it was
to rise, and four logs were laid to de-
fine the foundation. These were the
stills of the new house. At each end
of every log two notches were cut. one
on the under side and one on the up
per, to fit into similar notches cut in
the log below, and in that which was
to be placed on top. So each corner
was formed by these interlacing and
overlapping ends. The logs were
piled up, one above another, just as
children build "cob houses" from odds
and ends of playthings. Cabin build
ers do not say that cabin is o certain
number of feet high; they usually say
that it is ten logs high, or twelve logs
high, as the case may be. When the
structure is as high as the caves are in
tended to be, the top logs are bound
together, from side to side, with small
er logs fitted upon the upper logs OF
each side and laid across as if they

two In the mountains The fourteen
companies left for their homes ON spe-
cial train. The conVicts will be removed
to Briceville and Coal Creek at once.
The miners committee remained in
Knoxville to accompany the guards and
convicts to guarantee protection when
the train arrives at Coal Creek. This
action will not meet the full approval of
all the miners, but the terms of the
agreement will be kept.
Never In the history OF labor agitation
have Illegal acts been committed In as
orderly fashion as were those of the
Coal Creek Valley miners. They are so
thoroughly disciplined and SO thoroughly
controlled by the miners union that it Is
universally conceded that the end of the
struggle has come.
ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.
Last week about 400 armed strikers
attacked the guards who had charge of
fifty felons at Briceville and liberated
them. Gov. Buchanan was immediately
notified and responded by ordering two
companies from Chattanooga and one
from Knoxville TO the scene. OF the
fifty convicts taken from the guards OF
Briceville, two escaped and the others
were brought to Knoxville. When the
militia arrived they took the convicts
back with them and warned the mob
that they would protect them at all
hazards. Gov. Buchanan at once pro
ceeded to the seat Of trouble and ex-
planned his position to the rebellious
miners. He told them that II was
his sworn duty to uphold the law,
and III the convict lease system was
wrong he was not to blame, and that the
only recourse of the men was through
the Legislature The miners announced
that their families were starving and
that they were compelled to drive oul

LIQUOR AND SUICIDES.
BAD DRINK INcREASEs SELF DE-
STRUCTION IN BERLIN.

The German Emperor Having Statistics
Gathered to Back up y Proposal to In
crease the Penalties Imposed ON Drunk
ards-State Supervision of Beverages.
The German emperor's projected meas
ure for the suppression OF public drunken
ness, has become, under the manipulations
of the ministers, merely proposal that the
landtag should increase the penalties inn
posed on drunkards. Ministers Herrfurth
and Miqueal and others concur In the BELIEF
that the public would not tolerate active
legislative interference with drinking. The
emperor thinks differently. The draft Of the
proposed bill was sent him and returned
with suggestions concerning state super
vision of the healthy qualities Of beverages.
Impressed with the recent official statistics
concerning the growth of criminal offences
and suicides arising from drink, the govern
ment has opened an inquiry in regard to
the law and is gathering evidence from hos
pital and other medical sources concerning
the increasing use of potash spirits and
other impure alcoholics and how far the use
of these spirits may be regarded as lead
ing factor in crime. The official returns of
suicides in Berlin during the first fortnight
of July shows total of lat. The cause OF
this enormous self destruction is attributed
chiefly to drink. The emperor is friend
of good beer, but blameS bad drink for
many of the violations of law throughout
the empire, and more particularly in the
greater cities.

Events Great and Small of Interest All
Around the State.
CONSIDERABLY curiosity is manifested
in Nebraska and elsewhere to know how
Jay Gould will take his defeat in the
Omaha bridge case. Everybody seems
to have arrived at one common conclu-
sion in the matter, and that is that he
will have his revenge in some way on
the Rock Island and Milwaukee & st.
Paul roads for opposing his will in the
matter and forcing him to abide by the
contract into w hich the Union Pacific
solemnly entered if it takes him the re-
mainder of his natural life to get it.
The question that is just now upper
most in the minds of railroad men is
what effect his defeat will have on the
affairs of the Western Traffic associa-
ton. That association is generally un-
derstood to be Gould's own creature. 1t
is also understood that he created it for
some purpose of his own, and when that
purpose is served or it appears conclu-
sively that it has ceased to promote the
futherance of his purpose, he will de-
molish it swiftly and without the slight
est reluctance. 1t would cause no sur
prise to good many people If the vic
tory of the Rock Island and the Milwau-
kee & st. Paul in this matter would be
the signal for the Inauguration of an
other western freight rate war.
