y Frank Granger, Port Huron, an official

%Railroad men say that immigrants
baggage follows them as comets tail
follows the comet, and is scattered as
widely.
Seventy four immigrants left here by
St. Paul & Manitoba trains Monday, for
Litchfleld, Willmar, Benson, Herman,
Morris, etc.
The noon train from Chicago over the
River Division of the Milwaukee s. St.
Paul road, included ten fine passenger
coaches and sleepers.
Samuel Carpenter, New York, general
eastern passenger agent of the Pennsyl-
vania road, has been given charge of all
the passenger agencies OF the road in New
York and New England.
L. T. Stanley, Chicago, western passen-
ger agent Of the New York, Lake Erie s.
Western railroad, has got out the last
best thing in the way Of artistic adver-
Using He has issued series of very fine
chrome Autographs of scenes along 1.-THE
Picturesque Erie, with pretty ebony
easels on which to mount them, and on
the back of each brief statement of adj
vantages and attractions of the Erie route.
About ], 400 round trip tickets on the
St. Paul and Duluth road were sold by the
St. Paul depot agent Monday, mostly for
White Bear. The return trains at night
were crowded and an acct
dental obstruction of the track
compelled the landing of several hundred
passengers, late in the evening, at the
lcompany's Third street, instead of at the
Wacouta street depot. 1t appears a
wood train was standing on one of the
tracks near the Seventh street bridge,
and some hoodlum anxious to try his
skill, loosened break and let the train
run down the grade and off the track at
| just the place for obstructing an entrance
| to the st. Paul & Manitoba company's
yards Of course the passengers grum-
bled; that is their privilege; but it was
| impossible to serve them better.
The Willard excursion party, reinforced
by Col. Gray, of New York, attorney of
the Northern Pacific, w. Endicott, Esq,
of Boston, and w. Endicott, Jr., and R. s.
Fay, of Boston, and accompanied by Gen.
II. Haupt and his two sons; Mr.. Chas. S..
Fee, secretary to Gen. Haupt; W. P.
Clough, Esq, local attorney of the North
ern Pacific; His Honor Mayor Rice, of ST.
Paul, and others, making altogether a
party of about thirty per-
sons, left here at 10 o'clock last evening
for Duluth. They went special over
the St. Paul & Duluth railroad in train
composed of locomotive, baggage car,
two sleepers and one dining coach. 1t is
planned that they shall spend to-day
about Duluth and Superior City and go
to Brainard tomorrow, and that their
trip to Glendive and back will last until
about Wednesday of next week.
The arrangements for building the Lit
tie Falls s. Dakota railroad, partly
agreed upon by the directors of the
company and Mr.. Willard, for himself
and associates, supposed to be identified
with the interests of the Northern Pacific,
was concluded yesterday, and it is now
promised, on good authority, that con-
struction will be begun this season and
pushed to completion as fast as possible
The road was proposed to be run from
Little Falls, by way of Sank Centre and
Morris to Browns Valley; but yesterday
afternoon Mr. Willard and associates had
conference with General Manager Hill,
of the st. Paul & Manitoba road, with a
view to harmonizlng interests, so
as to avoid Improbable
competition in railway building, and this
conference may have resulted in an ar
angenent to stop the Little Falls road
at Norris, and for Its operation in con-
nection with the Browns Valley branch
of the Manitoba road
