Tlio War Hello Is Now Abandoned and Const gnetl to Decay, The war oar of President Lincoln, tho ono In which Lincoln mado his visits to tho army in tho Virginia cnmpulgns, In wliioh he held consultations with Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and other lenders, nnd In -which flnnlly ho was borno to his Inst resting place, Is now ubandoned and left to decay In an out of the way corner In the Union Pacific car shops at Omaha. Tho most magnificent car on tho Iron rnlls in Its tlmo, its now cruoked, weather beaten stiles, its shuttered, windows, rusty brass railings nnd bare interioroffer a mournful contrast to its departed grnndour. Tlio car was built specially for Mr. Lin coln lu tho military car shops at Alexan dria curly In 1804. It wns 48 foot long by 8J fect wide, and was divided Into thrco compartments. The entrance was by a door that opened at ono end into n narrow corridor extending tho entire longth of tho oar. From this passngowny doors opened into the three compartments. Tho ono nt tho end of tho oar was larger than tho oth ers. This Wns Mr. Lincoln's offlco nnd study. It was furnished with tables nnd n eofn nnd jeollning chairs. Tho sofa was n combination affair, jimdeof unusuallength to correspond to Mr. Lincoln's physical re quirements. It was used as a sofa or lounge during tho day, but at night could bo adjusted into a datiblo bed of two berths. Tho walls wcro furnished with rich cord ed crimson silk upholstery, and tho friczo displayed painted pnnols of tho coats of arms of tho several states. Tho car was adapted to tho exigencies of tho times, bo lng ironclad, armor plato being set be tween tho inner and outer walls to mako It bulletproof. From this circumstauco its weight was so great that it was thought necessary to placo it upon four four wheel trucks. Tho car wns sent with n quantity of war material to Cincinnati to bo sold In 18(10. Sidney Dillon of tho Union Pacific pur chased it with other cars and equipment, and it passed to Omaha. Its connection with Mr. Lincoln and tho fact that It was ono of tho finest prlvnto cars then in exist ence gavo it gloat temporary public atten tion. It was used tis a directors' private car for awhile, but Its great weight and peculiar construction later caused it to be laid aside Even as n dining cur for a con struction gang It proved unsuitnblo, and for years It has been disintegrating ill idle ness in tho shops nt Oinalia.
