Change Of Managers.

Col. A. b. Davenport has resigned
bis position AS manager OF the Union
Pacific hotel to accept more lucrative
position ard will leave Abilene about
the first of the year. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davenport and their interesting family
will be much missed from social circles
of Abilene. As a host Mr.. Davenport
has made the Union Pacific a model
house and its fame has gone abroad
over the West. He has made many
friends who will wish him all possible
success.
MIR. Charles Ilageman, who preceded
the present management and who has
been taking glance at life ON the Pa.

behind the Pacific register. Abilene

pride and his return insures perfection
of management and service in the
Pacific.

Mr.. Beuignus was not injured but Mr.
Funk being on the inner side fell uuder

on his head. He is yet nearly unson

CORPORATIONS CLASH.
The Travellers Insurance 90.
Suing the Union Pacific.

Suing the Union Pacific.
An interesting case TO Abileneites
will come up soon in the United States
court, being that Of the Travellers In
surance Co. vs.. Union Pacific railway.
The Travellers is owner Of the Union
Pacific hotel property in this city and
the suit is brought to compel the rail-
road TO live up TO its contract for stop
ping trains here for meals. When the
hotel 1.-THE old Henry house) was built
q contract was entered into by the
road that trains should be stopped for
meals for certain.term of years. That
term has not yet expired. When the
Union Pacific put on dining cars IL
found that the meal stations injured
the dining car trade and the present
slipshod system OF stopping was adopt
ed. The leaving time Of the train is
given on the card. If the train is on
time 1t stops short 15 minntes.
II a little late land 90 out of 100 days
this Is the case) 1t does not stop longer
than ordinary. AS result no meals
are taken here, a lunch room seryice
only being possible. The Travellers
proposes to bring the road to realiza-
tion Of its obligation.
1t is interesting in this connection to
know that the same fight is going on
on the Santa Fe between Fred Harvey,
proprietor of the eating houses along
the lines, and the road. Harvey has
won every time and has prevented the
roads running dining cars along the
lines where he has his eating houses.
1t is to be hoped that the Travellers
will win in this instance.
