Judge Chandler, of the Chicago Milwaukee
Il st. Paul, looks unhappy these days. He says
| il is because his men are worked too hard. II
| is fact that they have good deal to do, in at
tending to two yards and more freight thar
| was ever before to be handled at this season of
the year. Their work of Wednesday was only
| finished at 8 O. clock yesterday morning. But
then the st. Paul collections yesterday fol-
| freight over the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Pau
roads amounted to $l7, 900 and that's. business
| enough to make reasonable man hilarious.
| Vice President Angus and General Manager
| Hill, of the St. Paul & Manitoba company,
were in New York yesterday, and are not ex-
| pected home until Sunday or Monday.
Five passenger coaches and ten baggage cars,
| carrying an immigrant party from Ontario.
bound for Manitoba, will arrive here over the
! Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul road this morn
| ing, and the party will go forward over the St.
/ Paul & Manitoba road to-day.
| The Northern Pacific yesterday sent out from
| here two extra freight trains to carry forward
| the freight additional to the capacity of the
regular trains which has accumulated within a
day or two. The company has enough of cars
on hand now to take care of all the freight that
| comes to the line.
The general offices of the St. Paul Il Manitoba
company will be removed next week into the
new headquarters building, the finishing touches
upon which are being put on this week. 1t is
probable the stone building now occupied by
| the general offices will be soon taken down to
Ill L.
frame depot building will be removed below
! the Union depot grounds, and be kept in use
| until the Union depot is built.
The running time of the Minneapolis d St.
Louis road will be changed Sunday next SO as
to reduce the time between st. Paul d St.
Louis one hour and q half, or to twenty-slx
hours. On and after next Monday passengers
leaving here by the $40 train on the st. Paul
Manitoba road, connecting at Minneapolis,
or by the $3.50 train on the st. Paul d Sioux
City road, connecting at Merriam Junction,
will reach st. Louis at P. NJ. next, day; and
passengers leaving St. Louis at 9 A. M. will
reach st. Paul at II A. NJ. next day.
DEATH OF VIM. h. DRAKE.
Mr.. William 81. Drake, train dispatcher for
the ST. Paul & Sioux City railroad and
stationed here for about eight years, died at
his residence in this city at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He has been in fast failing health
for a year, and three months ago the managing
officers of the company rendered him leave OF
absence with facilities for travelling in what
ever direction or to whatever extent his Ill
health and his need of rest might require; but
he disliked to acknowledge, even to himself
that he could not keep on with the ardu-
GUS duties of his position and so
remained at work until his health was quite
broken down. About four weeks ago he had
concluded to accept the preferred leave Of alb
sence and was arranging to visit Florida and
remain there few weeks-when, three weeks
ago Sunday, he became so weak that he had to
take his bed. he was of consumptive tenden-
cies and the disease had obtained fatal mas
terry, so that hope of his recovery was soon Civ
en- up. MIR. Drake was native of Lebanon,
Ohio and was volunteer of the union army
from that State. During the latter part of the
war he was chief of the telegraph service In
Gen. Thomas corps and during Sher-
mans march to the sea and northward
he was member of Gen. Fitzpatrick s
staff. He came to Minnesota about thirteen
years ago, and was at first for four or five
years, employed at Mapkato as station agent
for the st. Paul & Sioux City company most
of the time at Mankato. Except his widow.
his relatives are all residents of Ohio and her
relatives are also there. His sister and his
step-father. a Methodist clergyman of Ohio,
having been informed of his ap-
preaching death, came on to see him
and remained with him till his death;
but the father felt compelled to and did last
evening start for home in Ohio, he having left his
wife, Mr.. brakes mother, quite i'll when he left
home. Arrangements for the funeral were not
completed last evening. Deceased was MEM
Der of good standing of the lodge of Free Ma
SONS at Mankato.
