way got possession OF some of Mr.. Manvel's
letter heads as If from Mr.. Marvel, with
which he sought to get passes on other
roads. Railroad men want to look out for
him.
The Union depot was lighted last night with
the electric light, which worked to a charm.
Eight lights are used In the building-three
in the main hall, one In each Of the two walt.
ing rooms, one In the office and one in each of
the baggage rooms.
General Manager Haupt declares that the
people of Brainard have no cause for
complaint about discrimination on freiehts

freights to points on the line of the Manitoba
road the Northern Pacific can have no control.

VICE PRESIDENT sTIcKNRY.
Gen. Washburn, few days ago denied that
Mr.. A. B. stlckney was to be general manager
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis road. This
denial was like Dunnell's denial of the letter,
practically untrue, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing from the Minneapolis Journal of yes
terday:
''The surmise that A. B. stickneY viii BE-
come vice president OF the Minneapolis &
St. Louis road and practically relieve Gen.
Washburn of his arduous labors in connection
with the road, leaving Mr.. Hudson undis-
urbed in his present position, is probably the
correct one. Mr.. Sticknev as a business man,
will be great acquisition to Minneapolis"
AS the position OF vice president of that road
is working, controlling. past, the denial of
Mr. Washburn was a distinction without
difference. The selection of Mr. Stickny Is
good one.
DEFIANCE TO SIOUX CITY.
The Sioux City Journal of the 18th instant
has the following about the proposed road
from Defiance to Sioux City:
The only point obtained yesterday about the
line that the Milwaukee will build from Def
ance northwest to this city was this: When
the grading was let to Langdon & Bishop the
company reserved the right to decide when
would be difficult TO get iron for all the tracks
the company will build, SO it was at first pro-
posed to grade the track late this season, and
not iron It until next year. But the outlook
for iron being better, the company
is almost persuaded to- go ahead with
the work as soon as the frost Is
out OF the ground, and will determine this
within the next few days, If it is not already
settled Mitchell Vincent is to have large
part, If not all, of the grading, and Bouret,
of Minneapolis, will probably have the bridg.
ing on the Sioux City end. Mr.. Bouret's
clerk, who was in the city yesterday, said that
that gentleman was waiting to hear definitely,
and expected to open an office at Sioux City
soon, if the work began as is expected.
The same paper of the 12th has the follow
ing on this matter, In addition to the above:
Pat Carey, the railroad contractor of Elk
Point, was in town yesterday, and was inter:
viewed about his visit to Milwaukee. He said
that on Friday, the Sd inst, he had talk
with Gen. Merrill, manager of the milwaukee,
road, and the general told him that the Sioux
City Defiance line would Re built this season.
This statement of Gen. Merrill is all that Is
needed in the way Of confirmation Of previous
news.
