The Wilson brought 275 tons of coal, 300
tons of railroad iron and $50 tons of pig
iron. It is supposed these barges will
winter at Duluth, as they cannot well
discharge their cargoes and take on re-
turn loadings and sail before midnight to-
morrow, and no insurance can be had on

THE CANNON RIVER RAILROAD.
Since Mr.. A. B. Stickney personally
denied the report that on retiring the first
of next year from the general superin-
tendency of the Canadian Pacific, he
was to become the chief executive Off
Ger of the Minneapolis s. st. Louis roads,
his future location has not been settled
by that unusually ready authority, dame
rumor. The GLOBE IS glad to supply the
omission because in doing so it would
encourage the hope that Mr.. Stickney's
emminent executive qualities will again
be employed in development of Mime
sota's railway interests. We now under
stand that Mr.. Stickney will be placed at
the head of the Cannon river Improv-
ment and Railway company, which has
valuable grant of lands and liberal bon.
uses pledged for constructing railroad
| from Red Wing up to the Cannon river
to Cannon Falls. This road is in line
with plans which Mr.. Stickney formerly
contemplated when he began building
the road from Hudson to River Fails.
now part of the Chicago, St. Paul g.
Omaha property, but the proposed Can
non river roads, unless it secures an east
