cifc, and his travelling companions were
guests of Gen. Myers, department quartermas-
ter, at Fort Smelling, yesterday.
Operators of the Chicago, St. Paul &
Omaha line reported light rain yesterday at
Omaha and Elroy. A st.Paul operator cheerily
responded: "Cool, bracing weather."
Gen. A. Anderson, chief engineer Of the
Northern Pacific is in the city, registered at
the Metropolitan. Vice President Cakes and
Messrs. Roberts and Starbuck, of New York,
his travelling companions are also at the Met
ropolitan.
''Santa Claus all the Year Round" the new
chrome for the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
profile with Christmas pack and new run
of coupon.) of prominent passenger man of
that line. It doesn't at all resemble the "Old
Santa Claus'' of the st. Paul railway reportorial
brigade.
Vice President Cakes and party, then includ-
ing Mayor Rice, visited Superior City Satur-
line from Thompson into Superior City. The
first train and the railroad party were most
Hospitality welcomed by the good people of
Superior, and the guests were handsomely en-
tertained.
8. r. Galloway, general manager of the Chi
cago & Grand Trunk road, in circular dated
G. B. Reeve to succeed Mr.. G. B. Peck, re-
signed. as traffic manager. Mr.. Reeve will
have his Office IN Chicago and communica-
tions regarding freight and passenger business
of the company should be addressed to hum
accordingly.
The general passenger agents of st. Paul
who visited Chicago last week have come
back feeling somewhat "blue'' over the con-
dition of 81. C. Wentworth, late general
passenger agent of the Michigan Central, and
veteran leader of their guild. Mr.. Went.
worth is afflicted with paralysis, which is
likely soon to result in death, and at best will
leave him helpless for life.
No new developments occurred yesterday
regarding the boiler shop contest at the st. P,
M. & M. shops. The railroad company has
more men coming and the discharged men are
waiting for them expecting to pursuade them
not to 90 to work. The only question seems
to be whether the Boiler Makers Union will
hold out long enough to force the company to
abandon it's boiler shops in st. Paul.
General Passenger Agent Barnes, of the
Northern Pacific, who returned from Chicago
Sunday, assisted Saturday in installing Mr.. A..
L. Stokes, at No. 50 Clark street, as general
agent of the Northern Pacific, in place of Mr..
Andrus, lately taken to New York by the Mil
waukee & st. Paul company. Mr.. Stokes,
who is also general eastern agent of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation company, is
an experienced and competent transportation
agent, who will undoubtedly give credit and
profit to the Northern Pacific.
Two boys, Harry Rundell and his brother
William. neither over 10 years old, arrived
here yesterday from Southern Texas, en- route
to their father, at Fergus Falls. The two
boys were shipped, as first class passengers,
from Texas, on orders obtained by H. 81.
Young, ESQ.,, through George Hazards
agency, and have safely and comfortably made
the journey without cent in their pockets,
in care of railroad men, and will reach their
.ather to-day, having left here last night, in
good condition, fat and happy.
The three platform doors at the Union de-
pot are being used, in connection with the ex-
animation of tickets to direct passengers to
their proper trains. Guard chains, gates and
platforms lead them from the respective doors
to their right trains, and so all chance of going
wrong is avoided. The only trouble is likely
to arise from trains being only few minutes
in the depot yard, and in case of rush all
could not get-out of one door in time. An Off
setting advantage is that no others are admit
ted to the train platforms and thereby pas
sengers are protected from crowding. from
roughs and from pickpockets.
A circular received from the Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne & Chicago line announces that
beginning yesterday its passenger trains leave
Chicago, as follows: No 6, the Limited Ex-
press, (the great new feature of the Pennsyl-
vania company s route to New York, } at p. m.
instead of $3.50 p. M, as heretofore; No. 4, the
Pennsy lvania train, at Clio p. M; No. 8, the
fast line train, at 9 ,. M; and No. 2, the day
express, at 9 q. m. All but the latter are daily
trains. and that omits Sunday. This new ar
rangement gives Minnesota travellers who
wish to take the Limited Express for New
York short rest or time for a business call in
Chicago.
