The following official announcement of
railroad changes, mentioned in the GLOBE
yesterday morning, have beeu promul-
gated:
ST. PAUL, MI7NEApoL1s s. MANITOBA R'Y Co.
GENERAL MANAGERS OFFICE. 7
ST, PAUL, MINI, Sept. q, 1885, }
The following changes are announced to take
effect October lst 1888: MIR. a. Guthrie is ap
pointed superintendent of thenorthern division,
with headquarters at CrookstOn. Mr.. w. s.
Kemp is appointed superintendent of the Brock
enridge division, with Office at st. Paul.
A. MARVEL, General Manager.
The announcement is made that the Nor
them Pacific road will be ready on Mon
day next, the first of October to
receive freight for transportation
between st. Paul and San Francisco, via
Portland. Oregon, at the same rates charg
ed by the Union and Central Pacific roads.
In other words the Northern Pacific ad-
yertises to the world that she is ready for
business the whole length of the line from
st. Paul, the eastern terminus, to San
Francisco, and that the terms are just as
low as those by any other road.
At Chaplain Junction, where the great
railroad system of London connects, the
rails lie together like the wires of piano.
Sixteen hundred trains day run over
them. There is no shrieking of whistles
or changing of bells. They keep their sig
nails for their officials, and outsiders must
expose themselves at their own risks. A
tunnel-way for passengers connects the
whole, so that no one is allowed to cross
the rails except the employees, who grow
foolhardy, and now and then come to grief.
On the average one man is killed every six
weeks.
