Roads.

hOudS.
The Wisconsin Central road has reached
st. Paul, and the question now becomes
more interesting than ever as TO what the
Central is going to do about getting into Chi
cago. In regard TO this the Milwaukee Seati-
mel makes the following remarks:
Nothing new can be learned regarding the
Ceutrsl's obtaining the riehS.e use the Nil
waukee & st. Paurs tracks for through traffic
between St.Paul or Minneapolis and Chicago,
nor is it probable that anything will be
learned until after meeting Of the Milwau-
kee & st. Paul company's directors, by whom
the matter is to be considered. A meeting
for this purpose Is to be he'd at New York,
Jan. G, and will be attended by Presidents
Mitchell and Colby, of the two roads inter-
ested, and Assistant General Manager Miller.
ONE OF POUR ALTERNATIVES.
The ideas OF President Colby have been
clearly expressed regarding an entrance into
Milwaukee and Chicago for the Central He
asserts that one of four things is certain
The Milwaukee g. st, Paul will handle the Gen.
trails business between Chicago and Schleis-
ingerville, and viii permit the Central to haul
its own trains thereoyer, an arrangement will
be made with some other liue, or the Central
viii build It's own road into Chicago. As to
the third proposition, that OF arranging with
some other line than the ST. Paul, there is
little likelihood Of any such arrangement be-
ing attempted; that 1t is also quite as i'm
probable that the 81. Paul viii permit the
Central to run It's own trains over the Chicago
track, so that the question IL practically
whether the Milwaukee 4 st. Paul will handle
the Central's business, or whether the Gen.
trial win construct an independent line from
Schleisingcryille into Milwaukee aud from
here on 10 Chicago. President Colby has
said that his company was ready to build such
line, in case satisfactory traffic arrange
mepts cannot be made with tho 81. Paul, and
1t Is intimated that, in any case, the road will
be constructed sooner or later. Should the
road be built, President Colby looks with favor
upon lake-shore route. His idea Is, To fol-
low the shorc, inside the Chicago * North
western 49,, thereby tapping Racine.
Keuosha, waukegan, Evanston and other
desirable business towns between Milwaukee
aud Chicago.

assembled at the Grand last night to witness
the new drama Of "Norieck," as presented
BY the popular acter, Frank Mayo, aud a

Mayo, and the leading role is admirably
adopted to display the dramatic powers Of
this really fine actor.
T1e story is one Of political intrigue, and
the unfolding of the plot. replete as # is with
powerful dramatic incidents, is both interest

The snow has commenced operations here
in Minnesota in very serious manner. On
Tuesday night at O'Clock, General Super.
intendent Whitman, of the Chicago, st. Paul
& Omaha road, received reports from stations
all along the line Of his road which repre-
scented everything as calm and smooth every
where from Elroy west. at 10 O'Clock he
received information Of an opposite charac-
ter, and at II O'Clock word came 10 him that
fearful blizzard was prevailing all along the.
road, covering the whole of the eastern and
western DIVISIONS. Orders were at once is
sued to lay up all freight trains. By morning
the storm ON the eastern division had SUBJ
sided. Not so, however, on the western d.
vision. There the storm kept at work in
creasing all the time. The Sioux City road
Is so blocked up with snow that it was closed
up for while. A train started out from
Sioux City yesterday morning to fight its way
through to st, James, and it was thought it
might go through last night, but as long as
the storm continues, and the wind blows so
furiously there is little use in attempting to
clear the track for it will fill up just as fast
as it Is cleared, and consequently the money
II costs to clear the track is all thrown away.
The managers will wait till the storm sub
sides when they will go to work and open the
road. The storm on the Sioux City, or west
ern division, extends all along from st. Paul
TO Sioux City, and is unusually severe, the
wind blowing hurricane and drifting the
snow heavily on the track. There is more
snow on this division than there was q year
ago last February.
No. 2 train, on the st. Paul & Duluth road,
was two hours late owing TO snow. There was
no detention at any one place, but the gen.
eral delay caused by snow all along the line
compelled 1t TO move very slowly indeed.
The Milwaukee Short line was detained
one hour between ST. Paul and Minneapolis,
near Mini ehaha.

An epidemic has ragged in the town
which has not only baffied the medical
men but has become of wide interest
to scientific and thinking men every
where. The plague has been very gen
eral and quite fatal. Some 800 people
were i'll at last accounts with a death
rate of one in ten.
While the medical profession are di-
Vided as to the name of the disease,
some calling it typhoid and some ma
larial fever, there is great unanimity
of belief as to it's cause, a much more
vital question, by the way. It's origin
is traced with one accord to the pOllu-
ton of the drinking water. Although
there is some diversity of opinion as to
what caused this contamination, the
pollution of the water the people use,
and nothing else, which has brought
this plague upon whole community,
and suffering and death into nearly
every household.
Here is a warning of general appli-
cation. Too much care cannot be tax
en- for the absolute purity of water for
domestic uses. Every family should
know of surety that there is no
chance to pollute the fountains on
which health and life so largely de-
pend.

Unworthy Appointments.

The president has made some very
poor selections in his men for prOmi-
nent positions, as well as some very
good ones. We have heretofore spoken
OF the Pillsbury class which he has
provided for in New England, and
later comes one not any better per-
haps, A. NJ. Kelley of Virginia, who
was first given II mission to Italy, but
that was revoked and he goes to Aus
tria instead. This Kelley was partic-
ularly rebelliOus even after the war,
publishing book as late as 1866 in
which he charged the North with muir
der and rapine and hoped vengeance
would yet be visited on the govern
ment. Such "a man can be no credit to
this country when representing it
abroad.
Still later than this appointment, and
better, is that of f. o. Graves to be
superintendent of engraving and print
ing at Washington. Mr.. Graves has
always been republican, but his
recommendation for the position is the
fact that he has grown up in the de-
partment, working his way to his
present position 10y over twenty years
of faithful service.

GREAT LUMBER FIRE AT CHICAGO.

GREAT LUMBER FIRE AT CHICAGO.
Shortly after noon on Friday a spark
from locomotive set fire in the heart
of great pine lumber yard district
which lies along both sides of the south
branch of the Chicago river, and near
the southwestern limits of Chicago.
A fierce wind was blowing. Starting
upon the west bank of the river the
flames consumed all the lumber be-
tween Thirty-fifth and Thirty eighth
streets, an area of about 400 by 1000
feet. 1t set fire to a canal boat, which
fioated across the river, $50 feet wide
at this point, and set fire to the lum-
Der on the east bank, which covered
about an equal area, and this, with
one or two planning mills, was con-
sumed. A heavy rain during most of
the afternoon was of material assis-
lance. The entire area burned over is
$40 by 1900 feet. The aggregate of
lumber destroyed was 45,000,000 feet,
valued at 100000. Insurance of S4S5,
900. The Chicago Lumber Co.'s loss
is estimated at 100000, BigelOw
Bros at $l75, ZOO, with others of less
amount.

Prominent politicians hardly agree
on Cleveland's administration. For in
stance, while Senator Dawes remarked
that he had no fault to find with it,
Senator Frye says that "every man
that Cleveland has appointed to a
prominent place was either a copper
head or rebel" Perhaps Senator
Frye, in his zeal to keep solid with the
party, has overlooked the fact that
both Gen. Black, commissioner of pen
sions, and Col. Villas, postmaster gener-
al, fought on the Union side. How

hardly comes under the heads indicat-

c. III. Pitkin of Montpelier and A.
NJ. Dickey of Bradford are two of the
men who are "talked of" to succeed
Col. Kittredge Haskins as United
States Attorney for the district of YER
mont. If Grover Cleveland is true to
his pledges, made in his letter on civil
service reform and in his inaugural
address, no one will "succeedn Col.
Haskins until his present term of of
flee expires almost four years hence.
1t is universally conceded that he has
made the most active and efficient at
torney that the government has had in
this state in recent years. He cannot
be justly accused of being an Soften

will be for no reason except that his
