THROUGH CAR SERVICE.
Tt is Getting to be Fad of Late
For the Travelling Public.

EOT the IT9VS11IlS. 6uDI1c.
1t seems to be the fashion nowadays
to inaugurate through car service from
New York City to the Pacific coast.
These cars are increasing in numbe
daily. The Lehigh Valley has recently
inaugurated a through line via the
Grand Trunk and Rock Island, the
Denver & Ria Grande, the Western
and the Southern Pacific. The Erie
saw something had to be done and 1T
has put on a through tourist sleeper
which connects with the Santa Fe at
Chicago and then with the Southern
Pacific on the lower route. This car
runs from New York to Los Angeles.
The longest line is operated over the
Boston &, Maine, from Boston, Central
Vermont, Grand Trunk and Santa Fe.
The Judson excursion company has a
route over the Fitchburg, Erie, Alton
Missouri Pacifis, Denver & Rio Grande
and Rio Grande Western.
OF all these perhaps the Lehigh Val
ley is the most preferable, inasmuch
as the lines it connects with are the
superior in the east. In the west the
Judson Excursion company has equal
rights with the Valley line in the
choice of the best roads, but in the east
the Valley takes the bun.
There is a. popular notion that these
cars run clear through, which is mis-
take They do not. There is a change
at the river points or at Chicago. This
gives the line an opportunity of clean
ing cars and providing fresh ones,
which is no doubt appreciated by the
patrons of the lines. But one change
in a distance such as is covered by this
service is not regarded as a discomfort
by passengers at all and is rather in
the nature of a relief

j Marcus Douglas has filed suit for
divorce from Matte a. Douglas, alleg-
ing that the marriage took place at
Ogden on Feb. 2, 1885, and that the de-

times she used loud, boisterous and
abusive language towards him. and IL

Reduction in Rates.

Chicago, Nov. "a number of re-
ports were current today of reduction in
the passenger rates between Chicago
and the Missouri river. All of the roads
have admitted that this was likely to
come at any time as a, result of the
trouble between the Chicago-St. Paul
lines, as some of the strong lines have
been seriously considering the advis-
ability of making a new reduction be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
but it is not likely that anything will
be done until after the meeting of the
lines on Wednesday of this week.

So important has become the ques-
ton OF Klondike travel with the gen
eral passenger agents of this city, that
Messrs. Wadleigh and Burleigh, of the
Rio Grande Western and Oregon Short
Line, held a conference upon the sub
ject yesterday.
That there will be a great rush to
the diggings next spring is more than
certain. Requests for information
come from all over the union. Both
general passenger agents have stacks
of the same which has been accumulat-
ing during the past week. Every state
in the Union is represented in these
letters. The mail brings new ones
every day.
The Shcrt Line people have been get
ting out a circular on the klond1ke,
which will be completed in a. day or
two and ready for mailing. There are
10000 of these and they are complete
compendiums OF information concern
ing Alaska and how to get there and
what to take on the trip. The first in
stallment will arrive very soon and
then the clerks in the office of the
general passenger agent will have
something to do mailing them to in
Quirers who are anxiously awaiting
knowledge of the Ell Dorado in the fro
zen north.
The Short Line is not alone in this
matter, for the Western people are tax
ing every means at hand to furnish in
formation to seekers after truth, even
to writing personal letters in response
to inquiries.
The meeting which was held yester-
day by the two passenger agents, was
for the purpose of unifying interests so
far as possible, in obtaining traffic. The
meeting was of a nature not calculated
TO produce newspaper information. but
both gentlemen were satisfied at it's
conclusion and there is but little doubt
that from this time on there will be
special attention given to Klondfke
business

ANOTHER RECORD.
Union Pacific Train Made Remark
able Fast Run.

Omaha, Nov 29-The Union Pacific
has made another record for fast run
ming. A mail train has been shot across
the country from Cheyenne to Council
Bluffs, SIC miles, in 500 minutes. This
is actual elapsed time and includes all
stops. Engines were changed twice
and one engineer was relieved. All the
regular stops were made and one extra,
when an air brake hose burst and had
to be repaired at the expense of over
five minutes Of time.
A burned out bridge near Medicine
Bow, Wyo., delayed the mail five hours
and thirty minutes and the train
reached Cheyenne five hours late. 1t
was necessary to reach Council Bluffs
on time or pay a heavy fine to the gov
eminent. Cheyenne to Sidney, 102 miles,
was made in 107 minutes, engines were
changed and the run from Sidney to
North Platte, 123 miles, was made in
118 minutes. On this run a stop was
made at Julesburg to get the Colorado
mail. From North Platte to Grand
Island, 1873 miles. the time was 1874 min
utes, engineers being changed at Lex
ington and other stops being necessary.
From Grand Island to Council Bluffs,
1876 miles, the time was 165 minutes,
including a stop of over five minutes
to fix bursted tank hose, regular sta
ton stops, delay by a Missouri Pa
cific freight train entering the Omaha
yards. and other annoyances.
The mail was landed in Council
Bluffs with 13 minutes to spare, the
actual average running from Cheyenne
being little more than 621a miles an
hour
The most wonderful burst of speed
was shown on the 100-mile stretch be-
tween Grand Island and Ames, Neb.
This was covered in SO minutes, actual
time. From this must be deducted five
minutes for the delay with the broken
hose at Columbus, making the time SO
minutes for the 100 miles, including all
regular stops, or more than 6S miles
an hour.

CASE AGAINST cABELL.
Ex-Reverue Collector Wants to De
muir to the Indictment.

muir to the Indictment.
The case Of r. H. Cabell, formerly
deputy United States revenue collector,
now under indictment FOR embezzling
IS, 800 government funds and whose trial
is set for next month. came up be-
fore Judge Marshall in the federal
court yesterday on motion of the de-
PENDANTS attorney for leave to with
draw Cabell's former plea Of not guilty
and TO enter a demurrer to the indict-
ment.
The defendant entered a plea Of not
guilty long time ago and when the
case came up to be set for trial a week
ago. it was intimated that the plea
would be changed to guilty. Attorney
Frank Pierce was in the case from the
beginning, but by some misunderstood
ing it was thought that assistant coun-
sci would be employed in good time
and Mr.. Pierce was never shown copy
of the indictment. A few days ago
Mr.. Narian was called in and he and
Mr.. Pierce, on reading the Indictment
desired to enter demurrer, but Judge
Marshall ove1ruled the application to
be allowed to file the same on the
ground that it was now too late for
such a proceeding.
The grounds of the proposed demur-
rer are thai the indictment is indefi-
mite as it does not state with sufficient
clearness the duties on which the Of
Tense is alleged to have been commit
ted and does not state the kind of
money alleged to have been embeZZled.

Union Pacific Committee Will Prob

Washington, Nov. 29.-The govern
ment directors and the receivers of the
Kansas Pacific which is to be sold
Dec. Is, have submitted to the attorney
general the figures from which the
value of the property is to be estimated.
Their figures as. to amount of earnings
and income, while differing slightly,
agree for all practical purposes. These
figures in round numbers show the fol-
lowing gross and net earnings for the
years from 1889 to 1896 inclusive:
For 1SS9.-Gross earnings, $3G55, GOO;
net earnings, $1,059,00O.
For 1S90.-Gross earnings, $3,O4O, GOO;
net earnings, STA 73.
For 1891.-Gross earnings, $2,939, eco;
net earnings, $1,22S,0O0.
For 1S92.-Gross earnings, $9,41S, 600;
net earnings $1,501. 600.
For 1S93.-Gross earnings, S2,419,000;
net earnings, SS02,000.
For 1S94.-Gross earnings, $2,09S, 600;
net earnings, 5000, 2S9.
For 1S95.-Gross earnings, $2,018,0 600;
net earnings, $609,0O0.
For 1896.-GroSs earnings, 50, 24S, 900;
net earnings $780, 600.
There has been little inquiry from
possible or prospective bidders, but it
is believed the road will go to the re-
organizatfo committee of the Union
Pacific railway. There is a legal ques-
ton as to whether the purchasers of
the road will not have certain priv
ileges over the Denver and Cheyenne
divisions, which will virtually amount
to a franchise, and to the measure of
these privileges increase the value Of
the road to the purchasers.

THREE MEN ASPHYXIATED.
Hard Coal Gas Causes Death In a
Tunnel

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 29.-Asphyx-
iation caused the death of three men
in the Grand Trunk railway tunnel last
night The dead: Henry j. Courtney,
engineer; Arthur Dunn, conductor;
John Dalton, brakeman.
A train which was being hauled
through to the Canadian side broke in
two. The engine backed down to get
the detached portion of the train, but
for hours nothing was heard of the
crew. Finally a searching party found
the dead bodies, and also rescued Mich
ael Dunn and Henry Potter, brakemen,
in an unconscious condition. Three
members of the searching party were
also overcome. but were rescued by
another party. The tunnel gas arises
from the hard coal used by the lecomo-
tiVes
