The Knights Templars at Waterville.
The encampment of Knights Templars at
Waterville broke up yesterday, and Damas-
Gus commandery returned to the city at 7:3O
last evening. The commandery went out
under charge of Eminent Commander Bron-
son, of Bayard commandery, of Saltwater,
who, owing to bereavement in the family
of Commander Monfort, was given the post
of honor. The early day was passed most
pleasantly in rides upon the lake and fire.
quent visits to the hospitable tent of Col.
Allen, where open house was kept. A heavy
shower about noon interrupted the festivi-
ties somewhat, but it subsidized sufficiently to
enable the members of the commandery
from this city to receive and welcome Emil
nent Commander Monfort, who arrived in
response to telegram demanding his at
tendance. Shortly after the noon hour tents
were struck at the camp, and the various
Communicates took up their line of march,
but not until the camp had been photo
graphed. Excellent views were obtained of
Damascus avenue, named in honor of the
st. Paul Knights. The st. Paul commandery
gave an exhibition drill in the afternoon at
Watervllle, and won many encomiums fol
the perfection of their maneuvres. The re.
turn trip was not marked by any notable
event.

the Order of the Day---New
Freight and Engine Houses---Steel Rail,
Stone Culverts, Etc.
Meeting General Manager Sargent Of the
Northern Pacific yesterday, q GLOBE re
porter struck him for some news. Mr. Sar-.
gent at first seemed to think there was moth
ing connected with this great corporation of
special interest to the general public not
already furnished by the GLOBE, but as the
conversation progressed number of facts
were ELECTED showing that the work of
tending the line westward to the Yellowstone
by no means covers the Improvements being
made by the company.
For instance, q contract has just been
let for brick freight house at
Fargo, 15Ox4O feet, slate roof, and first
class in all respects. The company also COR
templates changing the location of the engine
house at that point, and doubling its capaci-
ty. The new buildings will be of brick, and
complete in every detail. Eight new passen-
ger and freight depots at different points
along the line are receiving their finishing
touches, and work upon others has been
commenced. The work of relaying the en-
tire track between Brainerd and Fargo with
steel rails has been commenced, and will be
completed before snow flies. At the same
time large number of trestle bridges are
being replaced by substantial stone culverts
and fills, and other such repairs and improve
ments made as will put the road in as per-
feet condition as that of any road in the
country.
While all this work is being vigorously
prosecuted along the line, Manager Sargent
is getting everything in readiness to COM
mence work upon the two freight depots to
be built between Fourth and Prince streets,
this city, as soon as arrangements for pos
session of the land, now well advanced, are
completed. These buildings are to be Of
brick, slate roofs, fire proof, and constructed
with reference to the accommodation of tho
rapidly increasing business of the road, and
in size and stability will be credit to st.
Paul when it has reached double its present
population.
