they did not deliver their venison to the
Northern Pacific express company until
after the law expired and of course they
were unable to ship it. They will, no
doubt, attempt to ship by boxing, and the
st. Paul local authorities are cautioned to
look out for any express boxes marked to
any of the party with shipping bill from
this point. We hope another season when
the game (deer, bear, moose, etc., becomes
more plenty that the party may return
and make our town their headquarters
during their hunt, but we advise them to
choose some other disguise (all but Gieson)
as they did make a startling success at it
this time 1--WE mean the disguise.)"

Plenty of Fun at the Opera House Last
Evening.
The Gren1 Opera house contained a
large and enthusiastic audience last even
ing to witness the inaugural performance
Of the Tourists Specially company. The
drama, if such 1t may be called, is from
the facile psn of W. A. Aestayer and
it 10 brim full of Just such
delightful nonsense as one might expect
from this happy comedian.
The curtain rises on scene in the Cats
kill mountains, and the audience is here
introduced to the principal comedian of
the company, Mr.. AL. Mcdowell, and sew
eral other members of the cast.
The first act is bright ana breezy, but
the cream of the performance is in the
second act, when the several members of
the company appear in their specially
acts. In this act Mr.. Mcdowell
impersonates the role of "Faro Jack"
and 10 say that he is the beau ideal of a
Bowery duffer and hard hitter is TO draw it
mild. The musical melange in this act is
especially enjoyable, displaying, as it does,
the varied and high order of vocal ability
possessed by the company. The
scene is laid in a Pullman palace car, and
the business of Messrs. Mcdowell. Deland,
Moore, Reynolds, Leslie, Field, OFT and the
ladies, is all enjoyable. The vocal selec-
tons of Miss Kellogg were especially fine,
and Migs Belle, Delano and Zelna are
sprightly and veil up in their speeialties.
The entertainment ristles with songs, the
melody of which is pleasantly interspersed
with breezy wittioisms and odd doings
from the realm of burlesque and comedy.
A special Christmas matinee performance
has been arranged for this afternoon. and
there should be a large turnout.
For the first time since the completion
of the new opera honse the Fourth
street exits we're thrown open
after the performance last night, and in
order to make assurance doubly sure,
Manager Scott has decided to station
man at each exit during 5he performance,
SO that the doors may be opened instant
ly in case of emergency. Hereafter the
Fourth street exit will DO used perma-
nently. The precaution is wise one and
the public may visit the Grand with feel
lngs of the utmost safety.

ABOUT MANUFACTURES,

The following report was made by Capt.
Barney, chairman of the committee on
manufactures, and adopted:
To the President and Board of Directors
of the st. Paul Chamber of Commerce
Gentlemen: Your committee have inves-
tigated the manufacture of terra Gotta and
sewer pipe, SO far as time and facilities
have been at their disposal. Terra Gotta
works are already in operation, the amount
of annual product being $685. and the
Investment IN the plant being $4,000. A
ready market is found for all product.
The architects of our city are favorable to
its use. Marked instances of this are
found in the Drake block and the new
First National bank building. A profit
BILE business in this material can be and
is already done, and the proprietors desire
to add sufficient capital to what they now
have by forming stock company, with a
capital of $4,000, to enable them to con-
meet the manufacture of sewer pipe, a
good part of their plant being available,
and the two branches being perfectly fesai-
BILE to con.ect. Details of capital required,
amount of production, and an itemizsd
statement of cost has been laid before
ysur committee, and a most favorable
sheEiag has been made, viz: fifty per
ceat. net profit, after making liberal al
lowancs for expenses, etc. The present
preprietors propose to take stock to the
full value of their works, and their super
intendsnt would conduct the business.
Your committee submit some points
which they think specially worthy of con-
sidsration:
First-The amount Of beverage pipe
sold in st. Paul amounts to over S1CO coo
per anaum, and besides this the amoant
sold to outside parties, by st. Paul whole
sale houses, amounts to about S125, 900 per
annum.
Second---Advantage in shipping clay as
against stoneware IN carload lois.
ThirdMarket at door of mandatory
Demand now large and constantly in
creasing. City engineer gives the sewer
pipe, made by the ST, Paul Clay Works,
disqualified endorsement.
Fourth-Glazing of pipe and vitrifac-
ton qualities that give it it's value, as re-
sisting action of acids, seem all that can
be desired. 1t is well known, that good
deal OF that now IL use in our sewers, and
house connection, does not possess these
qualities, and is actually rottiug after only
few years use.
FIfth-lmportance of encouraging home
manufactures. Every enterprise of this
kind is nucleus around which gather
kindred industries, every one of which
adds materially to the growth of our city
Your committee are of opinion that if
the capital of the works is increased by
the sum of $4,000, and the business man
aged as 1t should be, it will prove q
most profitable investment The CLAW
Works have made q considerable quantity
of fire brick, and those who have used the
same report most favorably as to its quail
ity. About half a million of fire brick are
sold annually in st. Paul

The Passenger Fight Bstt0eem the Eastern
and Western Lines.
IChinnnx, rr;h
IChicago Tribune.

lCnlcago Irlpune.
Another meeting of the representatives
Of the passenger departments of the Rock
Island, Alton, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
Burlington was held yesterday to further
consider what action is necessary to pre-
vent the eastern lines from sboycotting'
them. The representative of the Burling-
ton stated at the beginning that he could
no longer participate in these meetings, as
his road had decided to remain neutral in
this matter and would join neither the
eastern nor the western combinations. He
then withdrew.
The other three lines were not able to
come to any definite conclusion as to what
was best to be done under the crcum-
stances, as General Passenger Agents
Charlton, of the Alton, and Carpenter, of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul, were not there
in person. Ii was, therefore, decided to
adjourn until Dec. 26, when it is expected
some definite plan of action can be agreed
upon. In the meantime, the western roads
will continue to fight the eastern lines
through the sceipers, as they have been
doing for some days past. The inability
OF the western lines to agree upon united
action and to make en- open cut in rates
from Chicago to western points, and vice
versa, greatly encourages the eastern lines,
aud they confidently predict speedy VIC
tory for their side.
