here is about as far off as it ever has
been. Last week It was 'expected that
each union would vote on- a proposi
tion to surrender its Individual char
ter and accept one charter for all the
organizations. Tuesday night union
No. 161 met and after a long dlscus
siondecided to defer action. It is oald
that the reason forthis is that there is
no certainty that the other unions will
Join No. 151 in the movement.
Varnisaers' and polishers' union No.
134 at its meeting Tuesday night com
pleted arrangements for the ball to be
given Octaber 28 at Steigemann's hall.
The union initiated one applicant and
admitted two on cards. Business Vas
repored satisfactory.
Timothy Cronln "has been appointed
by International President P. J. Flan
nery as district organizer for. the
freight handlers and railway clerks.
The marble, tile and grate setters'
union has made arrangements for. a
ball to be given November 1 In Garden
rink.
At the meeting of steam fitters' union
No. 46 in the Labor temple last night a
communication was read to the effect
that the Jurisdictional question had not
been decided by President Qompers of
the American federation of labor. In
consequence of this question the steam
fitters have been - out on strike since
laet May. The matter was thoroughly
explained before the executive body
several weeks ago.'- There was con
siderable dissatisfaction expressed at
the delay of the president in not de
ciding the matter.
The union donated $80 to the carmen
and a like sum to the telephone opera
tors' union for the benefit of those
operators who have not yet been given
their former places by the company. A
member who was in— distress was do
nated Jlls to enable ; him to make a
final payment on his home. The meet
ing.nvaa addressed by the president of
the labor council and J. F. Moran.
. Electrlcal^mechanics' local No. 1 at
its meeting in Roesch hall last night
donated $100 to the commercial teleg
raphers and heard an appeal for ; aid
from the telephone operators. The re
quest was taken under consideration.
The union Indorsed the request of the
members of the fire department for bet
ter pay and for vacation. .

known the family , for, 35 years, and
that Ahlbprn's mother was. Insane just
prior to his birth. \u25a0 A brother of Ahl
born said that ; their: mother . had of ten

j In Railway Circles
"Fevr people are aware that the Union r
Pacific has been' proseoutlngr a piece o£ £
work,' a:* tew.. miles .weit of Omaha ol- .;
most as great as the Lucln cutoff." said :
S.'*F. Booth, general agent- ot the pas- i-j
senger -department "For several!
months past a now line about 13 m!li»9t
in lenpth has been under consideration,?
which will shorten the Union Paclfla \
nine m«p». That is to say, on a'stretoh i
of road about 13 miles In lenarth we will J
cut out nine miles. Some idea otthe*
tremendous amount ot 'work involved '
may be conceived from the tact that \u25ba\u25a0'
In coustructlss; ' thoso ; twelve mile* It \u25a0
is necessary to excavate more than '
3.000.000 cubic yards of material and '•
make three immense fills which will r<*- 1
quire about 2,500.000 cubic yards. Thei"
is one embankment alone which will •
be from 60 to 80 feet high,, and will
require over 1,500,000' cubic yards -of '
material. One , fill will be one. and an \u25a0
eighth miles in length; while there are'
two others each of which is a half
mile in length. The new line crosses
over four other railroad lines. At pr^a-.
ent about two and two- thirds of th« j
work is completed, and we expect lha
line will be finished ', and double!
tracked by November. I might say this;
Is only, one of the many otner Improve- 1
ments contemplated which will eventn- •
ally make the Union Pacific as nearly:
a level air line 'as brains and money
can accomplish, and the saving tn tixn«'
and economy In operation will be splen
did Interest on the necessary Invest
ment.**
: One of the, matters decided at/th9j
recent meeting between the eastern!
end the western lines in New York city
was that in future no change In through
rates could be made except at a trans
continental meeting. The reason for
this Is ' that the lines east' of Chlca'go
have now a representation in the meet- 1 :
ing, - and all changes In rates must be
submitted *, to them; therefore it Is not |
; practicable * to make a contemplated \u25a0
change with the Individual lines. The
committee of the eastern lines having
| representatives -In the transcontinental
! meetings are to pass upon all changes
for their respective Interests.
"You should try to get Into society.T
said a young railroad man to his clerk,
who had a black eye and a damaged
nose in : consequence of having remon
strated with a chauffeur "not to be too
fresh" to a, young lady he was treating
to an Iced soda at a beach resort. "So
ciety," 'he continued, "has a refining
influence on a man. Look at me. There
Is no man so sought after by the fash
ionable and wealthy of San Francisco
as myself. It is because I have always
been careful to pick my friends and
you see what • you have got because
you are not careful — a black eye and
•^You're wanted at the phone," said
the (clerk, glad of the Interruption in
the sermon. ,
. "Ha, ha." laughed the railroad .man
in: a high falsetto voice, **ls that you?
Wednesday night? "Well, ; I'll have to
see. Just wait a few moments and Til
consult the tablets of my memory,"
and he put ' down the 'phone, but the
clerk bad an ear glued to the other
'phone, and he learned something of the
ways of society.
"Ob, yes, have him, of course," said
a feminine voice. "We can't get anoth
er solitary man, and he'll do in a
pinch," and then the clerk with thn
black eye ; concluded that his kind of
society was good enough for him.
