RAILROAD NOTES.

The dining cars ON the st. Paul q Omaha
are being well patronized, and are fast becom-
ing popular.
Messrs. Cross and McHugh, OF the Northern
Pacific road, left for Brainerd yesterday. The
folmer will return to-day.
Mr.. Smith, travelling passenger agent OF the
Missouri Pacific railroad, was In town yester-
day, and left ia the evening for Baraboo.
Mr.. Barnes, the general passenger and ticket
agent of the Northern Pacific road, went to
Chicago last night and will be back next
Sunday.
The next weekly excursion from Canada for
Winnipeg will arrive over the st. Paul &
Omaha road next week. Besides the regular
Immigration trains yesterday, the st. Paul q
Omaha line brought in eleven car loads Of
Winnipegers.
Mr.. Andrew Nattvick of the st. Paul &
Manitoba road, passed through st. Paul
yesterday with party Of thirty Norwegians
from Cass Co., Iowa, for Norman county in
the Red River valley.
The track layers have reached Rose Bud river
thirty-6ve miles west of Miles City. Rails
are going down at the rate Of three miles per
day. By August first, it is the intention to
run through trains from Caulson to St. Paul
without delay at either Glendine or Bismarck.
Some idea may be obtained OF the business
done at the Union depot from the statement
that TWENTY-FIVE heavily loaded passenger
trains arrived inside of two hours, and dis
charged their living freight, and yet every
thing moved along like clock work and as
smoothly as could be desired.
The St. Paul s. Manitoba road are doing an
immense amount of business this spring.
Yesterday it sent up two special trains to
Manitoba heavily loaded with passengers and
| baggage, and to-day will send up another
special train of five cars OF passengers, five of
baggage, and three of stock.
Mr.. Alexander, general passenger agent of
st. Paul & Manitoba road, has been
advised of the coming of another big
crowd of emigrants from the Grand
Trunk line. It is probable that they will arrive
Sunday. The travel over this road this season
| is something enormous, and but for the fact
that the road is well equipped it would not be
able to begin to handle the business that is
crowding in upon it. Daily it sends off train
load after train for the great Northwest, which
it is helping to fill up with people in won
derfully rapid manner. A glance at the fig
ures of the earning of this road, to be found
below, shows that they RIM up into the hun
dreds of thousands per month.
Hall Mondean passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road, came up
yesterday with the special train of Manitoba
Immigrants, but returned to Chicago last
night. The train he came upon arrived at 6:35
yesterday morning and consisted of seven pas
nd fhrpn hpr An.
other train will arrive this morning on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road and with
eleven passenger coaches and half as many
more baggage cars. As an indication of the
rush of immigration 1t may be stated that the
| Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road yester-
| day were compelled to send down to
Chicago fourteen empty coaches to &C.
commodate the people that are at Chicago
waiting to come up in this Northwestern
country.
THE MINNEAPOLIS ST. LOUIS.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis road is also
improving the Sd week in February 1881, the
earnings of this road were s1I, 129.43, while
those of the corresponding week in 1882 they
were $27 ,674.0 showing gain of SIG, 544. SO
or $50 per cent. The increase of the first
three weeks of the same months were as fol-
lows: 1881, $27, 413.46. For 1882, $85, us. 4S.
THIS gives an increase for the three weeks of
b58 364.9 SO, or an increase for that time of 80
per cent.
The general manager and chief engineer of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road recently
went over the proposed extension, from near
Des Moines to Creston, where the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy will be tapped. When
this is completed they claim the route will be
siXty-five miles the shortest to Kansas City.
The Rock Island road has arranged to run
freight trains direct from Chicago to ST. Paul,
via the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
and the Minneapolis & St. Louis roaos.
THAT ASSAULT.
The man that claims to have been abused on
the st. Paul & Duluth road on Thursday, it
seems, was himself to blame for the trouble.
The facts, as stated by the railroad officials.
are that the man got on board in half
drunken condition, and when the conductor
asked him for his ticket he pretended to be
asleep. He was finally woke up and offered
| the conductor an old check which was given
to him by conductor the day before,
and which WA WAS mot Frsn good for s:S
he offered it, The conductor told him the
| check was not good, and that he would have
| to pay his fare or leave the train. The man did
not propose to do either, and showed his hand
into his pocket apparently to draw revolver,
| but before he could draw it the conductor
| took hold of his hand and prevented the use of
| the instrument of death. The fellow was
| finally got off the train, with the aid of a
brakeman, but he succeeded in knocking
| down the brakeman, and in the squabble the
| fellow fell, and while down got hold of the
calf of one of the conductors legs with his
teeth, which he held on to with the grip of a
bull dog. A complaint will be made against
him to-day, when he will have an opportunity
of showing how much he was abused.
