SHOT BY A NEGRO.
Thomas B. McDevitt and Son
. Wounded by H. E. Gibbs.
WOULD-BE MURDERER ESCAPES.
The Boy's Condition Critical Father's Injury
Not Dangerous-A Murderous, Unpro
voked Assault Offlreis in Pursuit.
Oregonian, Oct. 12.
Last eveninu, Thomas B. Mo
Devitt, depot master of the O. R. & N.
Co., and hia son, James M. McDevitt,
15 years of age, were shot by H. E.Gihbs,
a colored porter of a Pullman ear.
. The boy's wound is dangerous, bat not
neoessarily fatal, while Mr. MoDevitt's
wound is not serious.
About 8 o'clock Mr. McDevitt went
along the platform, from the O. R. & N.
depot to the Fourth street crossing, to
signal a train which was coming across
the street bridge. He had a lantern in
each hand, aud was accompanied by his
sou.
While he was waiting for the traiu to
come in sight, Mr. M. C. Pennington,
cashier of the Pullman Car Company,
came tip in company with Gibbs.J from a
Pullman car, and told McDevitt that the
portor bad been abusive to him, and ask
ed that he be plaoed under arrest. Mr.
McDevitt, who is clothed with police
powers, took both lanterns in one band
aud laid the other on the porter's should
er, saying, "Young man, you are under
arrest."
The fellow at onoe broke away and
pulling a revolver fired at McDevitt, the
bullet striking in the left side just below
the watch pocket, cutting off his watch
chain, and following around the ribs.
The boy seeing his father shot, rushed to
his rescue, aud Gibbs shot him, the bul
let entering the right breast near the
nipple aud it is supposed passing through
the lungs.
Mr. MoDevitt banded bis revolver to
Ninhtwatohman Sherry, who came run
ning up, and told him to pursue Gibba
who ran off, and then turned his attention
to his boy, who had sunk to the platform.
He was placed in a oarriage and taken
home. Dr. Rand was summoned, and
when a reporter oalled, about 9 o'clock,
he warfawaiting the arrival of another
phj'Sioian before making an examination
of the wound. The condition ot the boy
is very critical, but he bore up like a
hero, while the father was paying no at
tention to the bullet in bis side, but was
only anxious about his son.
Mr. Pennington at once informed the
police of the nffair, and gave a description
of the would be murderer, who is a stout
young negro, or mulatto of a yellowish
color, with full face and protruding eyes,
and weighing about 185 pounds. Detect
ives Gritzmaoher and Barry and Captain
Watson started out to look for Gibb's,
nnd every effort will be made to prevent
his getting away from the city.
GIBBS STILL AT LARGE.
Half an hour after the shooting, the
officials at Albina arrested a colored man
whose peculiar actions led them to believe
that he knew something regarding the
whereabouts of the guilty man if he was
not the guiltv mau himself. He waB
hold in custody until officers Griffin and
Wing went there to identify him. One

At 1 :30 a. m. Drs. Bevan and Rand
had finished dressing the boy's wound,
and he was resting easily. He is shot
through the lung and no attempt was
made to probe for the ball. His condi

Pout Towxsend, Wn., Oct. 9. Charles
Miller, a gambler by bitterday profession,
died Sunday of lung fever. He was ac
companied during bin larst intervals by a
handsome woman, introduced audtnown
as his wife. Frequently, dining delirious
moments, in the presence of visitors, he
would in moit pathetic terms ask forgiv

Blanche, and refer to a child. Nothing
was thought of the circumstance until
after his death, when Sheriff Delantly re

An old acquaintance ot Miller's said
a few years ago Miller was a respected,

A MANSION IN ASHES.
The Palatial Hoiue of Stndebaker at South
Bend.
Soi th Bend, Ind., Oct. 9. The mag
nifioent stone house of Clem Studebaker,
which cost about $300,000, was almost
entirely .destroyed by fire this morning.
The residence was one of the largest and
costliest in the world. The interior was
finished in the costliest of native and for
eign woods, while it was furnished in the
richest style throughout, and the art gal
lery was filled with 'rare works of art,
and these are all destroyed.
Stndebaker was absent as member of
the international congress, and was to
have eotertaiued that body in his home
tho l'Jth instant. The rest of the family,
except Mrs. Studebaker and her grand
child, were also away.
v Mrs. Studebaker discovered fire this
miirniug in a oloset under the rear stair
way. -It was evidently started by the
spontaneous oombustion of some old rags
tU'e painters bad been using and thrown
in there. '
. ' The flames spread all over the build

MR. VlliLABU AGAIN.
A Gigantic Kailwny Consolidation Scheme.
Chicago, Oct. 29. A dispatou from
Milwaukee says that a private letter
written by President Colby, of the Wis
consin Central and Northern Pacific
to the stockholders reveals a gigantio
railway consolidation scheme that will
conneot the twoooeans aud revolutionize
railway traffic It is the consolidation
of the Wisconsin Central and Northern
Paoifio systems. An amicable traffic
agreement was the first step.
Henry Vilhird, through an alliance
with Charles and Joseph Colby, has ob
tained a majority of the stock of the
Northern Paoifio, nnd a sensation in
railroad circles is promised within the
next ton days. Henry Villard will be
restored to the presidency of the North
ern Pacifio, and one of the greatest rail
way consolidations of the world will be
consummated.
Even now contracts have been signed
whereby the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
is to enter iuto an agreement with the
consolidated Wisconsin Ceutral aud
Northern PaoiHc lines, oonneoting the
two oceans. The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe system is also in the deal, reach
ing Mexico aud Southern California.
Chicago will be made the center for
operating the three great railroads.
The Northern Pucitio will be extended
frim Puget Sound and built into Alaska,
making a continuous line from New
York to Sitka.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Woman's Land Entry Rejected by Commis
sioner Orolf,
Washington, Oot. 11. Land Commis
sioner Groff has rendered a decision in
the case of Mrs. Barr, formerly Wasson,
a resident of the Mitchell, Dakota, laud
District.
It appears from the testimony that in
July, 1885, Mrs. Barr, then a resident of
the state of Iowa, wont to Dakota on a
visit and while there took up eighty
acres adjoining the tract then reoently
entered by Miohael Barr. She purchas
ed a house and had it moved on her
claim, broke one acre and made other
improvements, At that time, she says
in her testimony, she bad no intention of
marrying Mr. Barr, but later they were
married, when they moved their houses
up close together on the line aud sodded
them up all around on the outside, mak
ing one house. They were then married
and Barr put his bed, stove, table, etc,
in his house, and she put her bed, stove,
table, etc., in hers. There was no means
of coicmuuic.'ition between the two dif
fer! nt parts of the house, except by go
ing outside, each having uu outside
door.
Sue testified Unit she acted in good
faith iu makiug the entry, not knowing
Michael Barr at the time and having no
understanding with the Barr family;
that she complied with the homestead
law fully.
Mrs. Barr'a claim is rejeoted on the
ground that a husband and wife cannot
maintain a separate residence at the
same time in the same house, so that
eah by virtue of said residence may pef-
feet an entry under the homestead law.
It is said that there are a number of
cases in the general land office similar in
all important respects to the case of
MrB. Barr.
A NEW TIME SYSTEM.
A Revelation In the System of Transmitting.
Correct Time.
San Francisco, Oct. 10. What is
claimed to be a revolution in the system
of transmitting time from a central
point is soon to bo inaugurated by the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The idea is to transmit daily, or as many
times a day as required, correct time to
each individual clock under the jnrisdic
of the system. The clocks were self
winding that is, from year's end to
year's end no hand need touch them,
the whole machinery being run by wires
of the Western Union. The first week
or so wires will be connected with the
government signal service at Mare is
land. In a few weeks, however, the
dock at the Lick observatory will be
synchronized with all the other clocks of
the system. For ordinary business pur
poses this will be done at 115 each day,
and for which purpose the Western Un
ion will close their lines to the public for
ten minutes.
For special purposes, such as jewel
ers, railoads, and others, clocks can be
synchronized every fifteen or thirty min
utes. Daring the period of synchroniz
ing, the standard clock at the observato
ry will take possession of the wires and
temporarily oontrol all the clocks con
nected with it, securing absolutely uni
form time throughout the entire sys
tem. It is intended to use the system all
over the state. To inaugurate the sys
tem, Superintendent Jaynes says it will
oost about $4000.
It is proposed io make a charge of 81
per month for the service. The omni
bus, cable and railway company is hav
ing olooks placed throughout its offices,
and the .Southern Pacifio Company is in
vestigating the matter with a view to
using them over its entire system.

UNION PACIFIC'S SWINDLING
PLOT.
The Company to Escape Payment of Its
Enormons Debt by Surrendering the
'' Old Line and Operating a
New and Better One.
rFrom the Chicago Herald.l
Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 2 Quiet
ly and without any undue advertising
of the scheme a railroad deal is being
manipulated west of the Rocky Moun
tains whioh interests every taxpayer to
just the extent that the general govern
ment is the creditor of the Union Paoifio
non-subsidized lines from the subsidized
system and the placing of the non-subsidized
lines out of the reach of the gov
ernment, against that day when the
Uuion Pacifio shall be oalled to a reckon
ing, from which there shall be no escape.
The name of the consolidated system of
lines djrvoroed from the Union Paoifio is
the "Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern
Railway Company." It embraoes the
Oregon Short Line Railway, running
from Granger, Wy. T., to Huutington, ,
Oregon ; the Utah Northern Railway, a
narrow gauge road runuiug from Ogden,
Utah, to Silver Bow, Anaoonda, Butle
City aud Helena, Montana; the Utah
Central Railway, running from Ogdeu to
Salt Lake City aud theuoe to Frisco in
the southern part of Utah; the Utah &
Nevada and the Ogden & Syrnouse rail
roads. The general offices of the uew
system, whioh is a oorporatioa by itself,
standing entirely independent of nil
other corporations, have been located at
Salt Lake City. The Oregon Short Line
is the Union Pacific's route to Oregon
and Washington, and it oonneots with
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany at Huntington. The Oregon Short
Liue Railway is the lessee of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, and the
Union Pacific has nothing to say to the
Oregon Navigation that does not pass
through tho hands of the Oregon Short
Liue. This consolidation strips the
Union Pacific of all its feeding lines west
of the Rockies, leaving nothing exoept
the main line terminating at Ogden. The
officers of the consolidated system, as it
is known here, are all Uuion Pacifio meu,
aud inolude President Charles Francis
Adams, who fills the same position on the
Union Pacifio, and George M. Ctiramings,
general manager, also assistant general
manager of the Uuion Pacific. Edward
Dickenson, general suporintomlaut of
the Uuion Pncilio, iH also a prominent
figure among the stock holders of the
consolidated system .
It is interesting to recall right here the
manner iu whioh the Utah Northern
Railway, one of the most important lines
divorced from the Uuion Pacific, was
built. The government was uot given
to the practice ot nllowing the Uuion
Paoifio to openly divide its surplus earn
ings among its stockholders in the old
days when tariffs were higher than the
Sherman pass (the divvy was usually
made, however),but wanted them to pay
the interest on its debt aud start a sink
ing fund to pay back the principal.
The government allowed the Union Pti'
oifio to keep its road iu good repair, al
though it did not permit the building of
branch lines. Accordingly the Union
Pacifio people organized the Utah North
ern Railway, The maiu line of the Un
ion Pacific proper was then "repaired"
extensively. New steel rails of the best
kind wore laid down, nnd rails just as
good as new wore taken up. Hound ties
were replaced with new ones, and thus
quite a lot of good railroad material was
procured without oost and turned over
to the construction department of the
Utah Northern, which smiled from car to
ear as one hand took from the othor
without money and without prico. It is
oven said that in their zeal to make re
pairs to the Union Pacific maiu lino
the Union Pacific people took up sec
tions of rails and ties without sepa
rating them and piled these on flat cars,
tbon hauling them to tho junction with
the Utah Northern and turning them
over to what may aptly be termed the
Uuion Pacific's natural child, Thin
course- was abandoned, aa the Ulah
Northern was a narrow gauge and did
not care to pay the expense of separating
the rails and ties laid ou the broad-gunge
standard of tho Union Pacific. The
freight on till this vast amount of materi
al handed over to the Utah Northern
was ohurged to profit and Iohh, ucoount
of construction aud maintenance of way,
and the Utah Northern was not ovon
called upon to pay the rate of one-half
to one oeut per ton per mile, which rail
roads usually charge for hauling the con
struction material of connecting linos,
The equipment of tho Utah Northern
was accomplished in the same general
stylo as was the construction ot the road.
The history of the buildiug and equip
ment of Mie Utah Northern was repeated
in the birth of the other lines in tho new
consolidated system but not to suoh a
flagrant degree.
The immediate reason for the consoli
dation, whioh is now in elfeot, is the fail
lire of tho Outhwaite bill and the gen
eral relations of the government and
the Uuion Paoifio, The details of the
consolidation were arranged by La
Grande Young, of Salt Lake City, a
nephew of Brigbam Young, who is one
of the loading corporation lawyers of
the West. The completedivorceof these
non-subsidisf d lines from the Union Pa
cific system is liable to bo followed by a
repetition of tho deal with the non-sub
sidised roads east of the mountains. A
more important development is expect
ed npon the completion of tho new Pa
cific Short Line, now building from
Sioux City west ami from Ogden cast.
Of oourse the Oregon Short Liue and
Utah Northern Railway is a great sys
tem, but it must havu an eastern outlet,
aud if the Uuion I'acillo should pass in
to the hands of the government or if the
government were to supervise the opera
tion of the Union Pacifio a little more
closely the consolidated system might
not be able to pluck its parent ho easily,
whioh would he inconvenient for the
stock holders in the consolidated system
These things have all been taken into
consideration and it has not been forgot
tea that the Union Paoifio main line
now owes enough to build several main
lines just like it, and that this same
main line is competing with other trans
continental line which were bailt at
much less oost in the days of cheap rail
roads. The Pacific Short Liue is organ
ized to build from Sioux City to Og
den, it passes through a better country
than the Union- Paoifio and is many
miles the shorter line. At Sioux City
it mnkes connection for Chioago and
the East with as much facility and as
good results as does the Union Pacific at
Omaha or Kansas City. The Paoifio
Short Line will also be in direct connec
tion with the Canadian Pacific system
(when completed) at Sioux City, and
will thus be able to raise more trouble
for the many associations to brood, over.
Here it is generally believed that thePa-
cilic Short Line is really the Union Pa-
oi .'.:, although the Union PaciSc people
'if h and say it is really the Chicago
N.-.hwestern, whioh is slyly filling up
the gap between the present terminus
of its system at Fort Gaspar, in Wyom
ing Territory. and Ogden. The Union
Paoifio people also add to this stqry the
statement that the Chicago & Northwest
ern is going through to the coast and
will make its terminus at Gray 's Harbor,
where it already owns large dock front
age. I his story does not look probable,
however, when it is seen that the loca
tion of the Pacfio Short Line is through
a territory where for some five hundred
miles it is the only competitor of the
Chicago ftNorthwestern's trans-Missouri
extension, and again tho Chioago &
Northwestern is opposing the entrance
of the Pacifio Short Line into Sioux City.
There is one thing, however, that the
Union Paoifio people are not saying
muoh about just now, but makes the
Central Pacific people feel very bad, and
that is the Nevada Pacifio, whioh was
orgauized to build from Salt Lake City
to Los Angeles, with a branch to San
Farnoisoo. The consolidated systom
has secured coutrol of the Nevada Paoif
io, with its charter, franchises, surveys,
etc, and is now preparing to build the
road us an extension of the old Utah
Central, now part of the consolidated
system from Frisco, Utah. This road
will shorten tho distance by the Union
Pacifio route to Los Angeles some 350
miles, nnd will materially reduoe the
prosent mileage to San Frauoisoo. It
will also force the Central Paoifio, now
part ot the Southern Pacifio system, to
secure a uew broad gange ally east of
Ogden, nnd this explains the broadening
of the gauge of the Uio Grande Western
from Ogdeu to Grand Junotion aud the
exteution of the Colorado Midland, now
a local road running out of Denver to
connect with tho Rio Grande Western at
Ciruudo Junotion, the oontrnot for whioh
was let this week. The Central Pacifio
will undoubtedly come up seroue'y, ow
ning the Rio Grande Western, whioh iH
distinct from the Donver & Rio Grande,
nnd also the Colorado Midland, whioh
would give it an eastern terminnsin Den
ver, where it would find ample connoo
tions for the East.
All things considered the Uniou Pacif
io management will benrwatcbing. The
famous author of "A Chapter of Erie"
is not in the same busiuess as when he
wrote that novelette on railroad wreak
ing. It will be a rough deal on Unole
Samuel, but everything now points to a
rival system to the Uuion Pacific by tho
Uuion Pacific management and the aban
donment of the present subsidised lines
to the government, rather than pay ei
ther principal or interest of its great
indebtedness. What this move, whioh,
while it is many mouths away, is un
doubtedly uuder consideration, will lead
to is a matter of wide speculation. Cer
tainly upon the abandonment of the
main lino to the government the consoli
dated system will refuso to form an al
liance with the government road, but
will throw what business it controls to
its own eastern connection. The Central
Paoifio or Southern Paaifio Company,
the only other lino whioh can exohange
business with the government road at its
Western terminus, will have itsown out
let to Denver, and probably a traffio ar
arrangement with somejliue from Denver
to Chicago. This will leave tho govern
ment in possession of over one thousand
miles of main liue, running from Omaha
to Ogdeu, on which there is no local
traffio after tho first 250 miles 'out of
Omaha is passeil, whioh has cost more
than would build three now lines like it
to-day, mill on which a star collection of
first mortgage bondholders will bo pre
pared to dispute possession with the
government. The road will have no
source of revouuo save its local tonnage,
and the parties who take it must keep it
open at any cost. Out of the deal thore
will come tme great relief. If the Unit
ed States government gets the rond aud
undertakes to operate it there will be no
ueoessity for any more scheming ou the
part of the Tanners ami Dudleys as to
how to reduce the surplus.
