Union Pacific Directors
Report.
THEY FAVOR SEGREGATION.
But Look Askance Upon Govern
ment Ownership.
WHY 1T WILL NOT Do AT ALL.
The Lien of Uncle Sam Is of a
Peculiar and Incomplete
Nature.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-E. Eilery Ander-
son, j. w. Doane. Joseph Paddock and
Fitzhugh Lee, the Government directors
In the Union Pacific controlling board, TO-
day made public their last annual report.
Ihey approve of the naming of receivers
for the system. as it was believed the asso-
GATED roads, aggregating S166 miles. pos
sessed greater earning power when op-
Grated as whole than when dsmembered.
In administering the several properties,
however, separate accounts of the receipts
and expenses have been kept, and the
earnings severally applied to the mort
cages covering particular divisions. In
this way from the appointment OF the re-
ceivers in October last to the end of the
fiscal year on June 80. So. 1S7.S67 was paid
on twenty-five sets of bonds. Several of
the branch railroads did not earn operat-
ing expenses, and they are to be turned
over to separate receivers on the applica-
ton of the trustees of the covering mort
cages.
In this way, and by separate receiver
ships secured by holders of guarantee
bonds. about $500 miles of road have been
Topped off from the property EN- braced in
tie original receivership. The Govern
ment directors urge an adjustment of the
Government Interests in the system and
dismiss the foreclosure plan by saying:
AS for the plan of attempting the col
lection of the Government debt by acquir-
ing title to the railroad property and
operating it, the insuperable objections to
this course. both from a political stand
point and in view of the peculiar and in
complete nature of the Government lien
have been SO often stated that it is not
necessary TO repeat them"
Instead the directors submit a set of
suggestions for reorganization of the
company founded upon ascertainment of
the earning power of the whole system
and then the issue of great blanket mort
cages of 3-per-cent 100-year bonds; that
the accruing interest will not exceed the
minimum earning power.
The present sinking fund is to go to prior
lien stockholders to be retained after an
assessment OF $40 a share. The remainder
of the mortgage result and of the pre-
ferred stock issue is to satisfy the holders
Of the subsequent bonded liens. Tables
are given to show how the Government
would get its present claim of $40, 600, 600
under this arrangement and what each
class of present security -hol ders might ex-
pect.

LOST MUCH AT FARO.
Gambling Caused a Lawyer to
Get Into Trouble.
lie Issued Spurious Checks and
Drafts and Landed in the
Police Station.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 4.-Ex-Judge Ju-
MUS Rochester, well-known attorney
and politician of Seattle, is detained at
The city jail pending the adjustment OF a
charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses. Rochester has not technically
been arrested, and it seems probable that
matters will be so arranged with several
Portland parties whom he has victimized
that he will be released tomorrow and
allowed to return to Seattle.
Rochester arrived in Portland from
Puget Sound on Thursday night of last
week, and at once plunged into reckless
course OF gambling at faro; and on Fri
day night he drew a draft for $500 on a
Seattle bank and prevailed on Portland
friend to indorse it for him. The money
was paid and soon squandered at the faro
table. The playing at faro continued DUR
ing Saturday, Sunday ana Monday, and
the lawyer at intervals prevailed upon
several other persons to iDdorse either
drafts or checks for various amounts. 10
this way he secured $40G more.
All this money, except a very few dol
lars, the infatuated lawyer invested In
red, white aud blue chips, with very un-
satisfactory results. In the course of the
usual exchanges between the Portland
and Seattle banks it developed thai Roch-
ester had no funds in the Seattle institu-
ton, upon which the checks and drafts
we're drawn, and. indeed, none in any
bank. The first 800 indorser was called
upon by the Partland bank to make the
sum good. He at once instituted inquiries
and ascer'ained the truth, and then he in
formed the police.
No Information was filed or specific
charge made, but the police at once began
to hunt the erratic lawyer, and on Monday
they found him at a faro table rapidly
spending the few dollars he had lefI. He
was taken to the police station, but not
placed in a cell. The upper ward was as
signed for his use and his relatives and
friends notified. 1t was hoped that the
entire matter might be adjusted without
publicity, but inquiry disclosed so long a
course of similar transactions, though on
a lesser scale, and such an Indifferent
state of mind on the part of the lawyer as
to his misdeeds, that the effort was given
up and the facts made public tonight
Perry Rochester of Seattle, a brother of
the misguidsd lawyer. arrived here last
night and sought out tie various indorsers
of the ex-Judge's checks and drafts. 1t
was found that only one had taken any
sort OF action. Perry Rochester immedi-
ately began arrangements to indemnify
the indorsers and it was announced to-
night that the negotiations had been prac-
tically completed.

sltion and censure from the administration
officials. The arguments are character
zed as exceptionally weak, and the fear is
expressed that Mr. Thurman has imbibed
OIL what are characterized as the N staken
financial theories of his illusirious father.
The administration members are strongly
con.ending that future agitation of the
silver question at this time can only result
In impeding The progress of the great bust
ness revival which is now setting in, and
TO make it a national political issue would
De nothing less than crime. They favor
Ignoring the silver question, in the hope
That the agitation will cease.
AT the Democratic Congressional head
quarters Chairman Faulkner said the COM
mittee was not engaged in promulgating
policies. 1t was standing by the declara-
tons OF the national Democracy. On the
subject OF the money question there was
no general alignment. individual candi-
dates standing On different platforms In
that regard. Each State and district was
allowed to work out its own salvation.
At the Republican headquarters Cap
tain Mckee expressed qualification over
the prospect of an increased prominence
OF the money question in Ohio. He said
that east OF the Mississippi River RepIb-
licans would welcome discussion of the
money question, especially when the fight
was justified on the free coinage of silver,
but in the far West the committee had no
desire 70 bring the question to the front.
At the Populist headquarters the action
of the Democratic Committee was hailed
AS an attempt by OHIO Democrats to use
Populists' weapons to fight the enemy. 1t
showed, they said. that the Democrats
realized the money question was para
mount, but such tactics they declared
would be unavailing, as the Democratic
record of this Congress and administra-
ton would not stand inspection ii an at
tempt was made to demonstrate that the
Democratic party favored free coinage.

VIEWED WITH DISFAVOR.
Ihe Administration Does Not AID.
prove the Departure.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-The address to
the voters Of Ohio issued by The State exec
utive committee was received by some
treasury officials with indifference, while
others criticized it severely and none of
them would talk for publication. 1t can
be safely said though that the views of
Mr., Thurman and his colleagues are not
shared by any of the administration peo-
pie here, either as to the tariff or the
money question. The passage of the new
tariff act is regarded as a long step In the
right direction, but as MIR. Cleveland has
stated, does not end the fight for free raw
materials. though some of the more con-
sentative of the administration contend
that the present act. after some of its in
consistencieS have been corrected and lis
sharp corners smoothed off, should be ac-
cepted for the present at least.

weather and doubt of the series being
played only about 5000 of the expected
crowd entered the doors. The agreement
to play the series of games was only made
a few minutes before the game was called.
McGraw was the only one that held his
temper throughout the game and even his
was not the best. Boh teams showed in
tense feeling. A close decision in the
ninth inning by Emslie, which cut off Bal
timore's hope of pulling victory out of The
fire, caused the crowd to get after Emslie
as soon as the game was over. The police,
however, quickly dispersed the crowd.

People's Party Convention,

What is called the Peoples party
met in sparse numbers on Saturday
last, at the court house, in this place,
for the purpose of placing in nomina-
ton county ticket.
N. r. Cheadle was called to the
chair and E. B. Cheadle made Secre-
tary. The different COMMITTEES were
selected at the morning session and
ordered to report at the afternoon
session.
The convention was late in reassem-
bling in the afternoon, it being near
2 o'clock before business was resumed.
The committees made their reports,
all of them being quite brief. The
resolutions endorsed the Omaha and
Columbus platforms, sympathized
with labor and endorsed Coxey's road
bill.
The following ticket was then
placed in nomination.:
Commissioner-Aaro Swigart, OF
| Damascus.
Sheriff-Robt. Woodburn, of Free
dom.
Prosecuting Attorney-W. H. Pom
tious, of Napoleon.
Infirmary director-Geo. Rinebolt
of Harrison.

DEMOCRATS should not be caught
with such silly nonsense as the Re-
publicans are now giving them, tell
ing them that they must bolt their
party to get good officers. Democrats
have already listened too much to
this same nonsense and allowed them
selves to be fooled by it into voting
for Republicans in preference to men
on their own party ticket, TO such an
extent as to elect Republicans to Of
fee upon several occasions, only to
their regret after the deed was done.
There never was Republican given
a county Office in this county but
what Democrats who helped elect
him were sorry for it long before their
term of Office ceased. Then what fol-
ly for Democrats to listen to this kind
of Republican nonsense.
The Democratic party OF Henry
county is composed of the best citi-
zens in the county, and as the party
is far in ascendency in the county, it
| is not necessary for Democrats to 60
to the Republican party to get com
petent men to fill the offices. They
have them in their own ranks See
that they are placed upon the Demo
cratic ticket, and then vote for then
in preference to the best Republican
that can be trotted out.

THE editor of the Signal is sneak
ingly sicking on the trustees of Rich
field township to sue the county for
alleged balances due on certain road
improvements.
Such work is reprehensible in the
extreme, but is in strict accord with
the character of the instigator, who
knows full well, or if he does not,
ought to know, that Henry county
does not owe Richfield township one
penny upon the road improvements
in question.
Instead Of Henry county being
debtor to Richfield township, that
township in reality owes the county
hundreds of dollars which the county
has paid in access of the assessments
upon road improvements within the
boundaries of that township.
The whole scheme is gotten up for
political effect, and is but another OF
the many capers of the editor of the
&gnal, conceived to deceive inno-
cent people. His record upon this
line is we'll known by the people OF
this county, for they have been called
to step upon him and his dirty work
many times in the past, and they
have stepped upon him pretty hard
too, but the only way to crush the
life out of viper of this kind is tc
cut his head off, smick, smack
smooth, as our colored brother woul6

IT is painful to see the efforts put
forth by the Signal, trying to pro-
pound the law. The idea of a Repub-
lican curb-stone politician propound-
ing law! 1t is preposterous, ridieu-
lous. He belongs to a party that
knows no law, when it comes to carry
ing out their political schemes. To
do this they have overridden the
constitution itself, stole the Presi-
dency, murdered a President, stuffed
ballot boxes and run elections with
the bayonet! A pretty fellow, this
editor of the Signal, mouthpiece of
the party which has done all this, to
lay down law to law-abiding citizens!

THE income tax in the tariff bill
levies per cent. on the excess of all
incomes over $4,000 year. A person
who has an income of $4,000 year
must pay per cent. on s., 1000, or $50.
Non-residents are exempt, but aliens
are taxed only on that part of their

Wood county new Court House is
being built at Bowling Green. For
rottenness the management beats
anything we ever heard of. For ms
tance, $4,000 was paid for a heater
when the same heater was offered for
$4,000. But it was a Democrat that
made the low bid, and he wasn't in it,
but the management was, to the tune
of $4,000, also the taxpayers, who
have the amount to pay. Then, too,
this same rep. man. gave $4,000 for
doing the excavation work for the
new building, when an offer to do the
work for $500 had been made! Is it
any wonder the taxpayers of that
county are kicking.
