LINCOLN, April 1.-(Special.) 1.-THE poll
icy Of concentration employed by James ].
Hill since he acquired the Burlington road
hit Lincoln a Jolt yesterday. and the office
OF the car accountant, with its head, F. NJ.
Lucore, and his seventy-hve clerks, will be
moved to Chicago some time next month.
Before the road was merged with the two
other railroads under the control Of Hill,
the car accountants force employed but ten
or twelve men. Soon after the acquisition
the force was augmented in a rapid manner.
1t is the policy Of the Hill management
to keep a close tab on the earning capacity
Of each department Of the road, and the cost
Of operation. In accordance with this pol
icy the once Of the car accountant was
called upon to keep an account of the earn
ing power OF every locomotive and car on
the system. and the cost Of operating and
repairing the same.
This move required an immense addition
to the clerical. force, and the number has
kheen added to in a rapid manner, since the
II lyent Of the Hill interests, till the force
has reached seventy-hve clerks.
Some weeks ago Vice President Howard
Elliott was in the city, and inspected
closely the ONCE OF the car accountant, and
as he is at the head of the operating de-
partmont of the Burlington. it is presumed
that ne is largely responsible for the re-
moval Of the department to Chicago.
Frank NJ, Lucore, the car accountant OF
the Burlington lines west of the river, has
,Hrown up in the office, having begun at the
Notion as n clerk and stenographer. He
has risen from the ranks till he has
reached his present position. having an
army Of subordinates under him and having
jprisdiction OF over 1000 miles of road.
When the ONCE is moved to Chicago he will
be made assistant car accountant OF the en-
tire Burlington system.
II is understood that the present force in
the local ONCE will be retained and invited

collided with an eastbound freight in the

a switch when No. 8 came in sight around
the curve, coming at the rate Of perhaps
forty miles an hour. The engineer of the
freight put on all steam and was running
west at the rate of twenty miles an hour
when the two engines came together. The
fireman jumped, as did a Union Pacific en-
gineer by the name of George Smith, who
