STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
Partial Compromise Between st. Paul
and MINNEAPOLIS.

session of the members of the st. Paul
and Minneapolis delegations and members
Of the state fair committees Of the two cities,
was held In the senate judiciary room yester-
day afternoon to con slider the matter OF state
fair grounds. DR.. Murphy was chairman,
and there were present Senators Griggs and
Glhllan, Of st. Paul, and Lanodon, Of Min
neapolis, and Representatives Smith, Cor
nish. Lienau and Hendrickson, OF st. Paul,
and Evans and Hush, of Minneapolis, with
Messrs. Loring, Oppeuheim aud Ingersoll
representing the committees.
The matter Of state park was also con-
sidered in connection with the location of
the state fair, and after very full and free
discussion, in which all present gave their
views, the following, submittedby DR.. Evans
Of Minneapolis, endorsing the propositions
was adopted to be submitted to the full legls-
lative delegations:
That 1t is the sense Of the Joint committee
that 1t would be desirable, and werecom mend
that sufficient ground, at least 200 acres, for
fair purposes in sections % and 80 tjwnship
20, range 90, be secured; and also, that
at least 200 acres be secured, includ-
Ing and surrounding the Mlnnehaha falls for
a state park and horticultural purposes.
II is understood that the city limits OF st.
Paul shall not be extended west If line
drawn through the center of said fair grounds
and Minneapolis shall not extend east OF
said line, and neither city shal take into
their corporate limits the tract at Mime
haha.
This action win, It Is thought, be en-
dorsed by the full legislative delegations Of
the two cities, and that under II separate bills
for securing the tracts designated will be
prepared by the two delega-
lions and presented TO the legislature. The
tract Of land designated for state fair pur-
poses Is what "a known as the Tatum tract,
which has been examined and favorably con-
sidered by the ST. Paul committee. IL lice
between the tracks Of the Milwaukee 8; st.
Paul aud st. Paul IL Manitoba raiIro ids, maxi
ing IL easy Of access By all the railroad lines
between the two cities, abutting on the west
on the transfer property, aud Is almost ex-
actly midway between the two cities. The
proposition adopted Is, Of course, quite crude
and will undoubtedly have 10 be deYiatcd
from in some particulars in the formation Of
a proper bill, but without materially affecting
the essential features. Anyway, an AMIGA
bic understanding having thus been reached,
there ought 10 BIZ no trouble 10 periectin the
details and pseparing measure that would
receive favorable action by the Legislature.

Oakland Avenue Litigation.

The three appeal cases Of James W.
Heather, James Clear and Mrs. j. B. Hauler
from the eondem alton OF the district court
OF their property on the assessment by the
board of public works for opening, widening
and extending Oakland avenue, came up for
hearing before Judge Brill in the district
court yesterday, 1t being decided by W. II.
Mead, Esq, counsel for the appellants, and
Thos. d. O'Brien, Esq, for the respondents,
to try the three cases together.
There were present nearly all the members
Of the board Of public works, and quite Q
number Of citizens as witnesses and specta-
tors. The claim of the parties liuentjng Is
that the board allowed them insufficient and
uncompensatory damages for the property
taken from them for the improvement. The
hearing will probably consume most, II moi
all Of the two sessions of the court to-day.

The Chicago s. Northwestern has issued an
order to all agents to the effect that the order

dated Jan. 13, 1886, has been withdrawn and
cancelled, and that freight for delivery at
Milwaukee to the Ludington Steamboat Line

again be received and forwarded.
The wheat blockade at Duluth has been
partially relieved. For several weeks the
railroad has been able to deliver to the ele-
vator or warehouses in Duluth but forty cars
of wheat per day, owing to the limited stor
age ROOM. On Wednesday and Thursday
the storage capacity was so far increased that
the road unloaded ninety cars each day. If
they can keep this up this will soon relieve
the railroad of those 800 cars loaded with
wheat that have been laying upon the tracks
for some time.

Mr.. T. +. OAkes, vice president Of the
Northern Pacific, is having as much trouble
in reaching his destination as did that crafty
old Grecian, who was ten years IN getting
back to bis home. When Mr. Cakes got
through with his business wish the Trans
continental association, at San Francisco, he
started for Portland, by way Of Ogden aud

short line, aud photographed Mr. Thrail, his
chief clerk at 81. Paul, 10 meet him al Port
land Mr. Thrall left Wednesday night Ia

through Idaho and onto the Oregon short
line be found that road hopeiessly blocked
up, and was CON PEELED 10 retrace his steps.
He therefore went back to Granger and
started again on his way TO Portland, this
time BY the Utah and Northern, and the
Northern Pacific, and teiegraphed Mr. ThraH,
who was on his way to Portland, 10 hold the
car at Garrison and wait for him. This was
a good many more hundred miles than he
expected % travel when he started, and be
will undoubtedly be much grstiied 70 once

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
The Minnesota, st. CrOix & Wisconsin
Railroad to Open Business in
st. Paul Next Monday.
Nearly All of the Lines Running East Of CHI
cago Openly Cutting Rates Miscella-
neous Rail Notes.
Derailment of Passenger Train on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
N. p. Mail Car Burned.
The Var S,iH Goes On.

The lines running east from Chicago are
having very hard time of it in regard to
freight, and there seems to be no way out Of
the difficulty. All lines seem to be openly
and secretly cutting the rates. On Wednes-
day 1t was discovered that the lines to the
east had made rate of twenty cents on
grain and twenty-five cents on provisions
from Chicago to New York, and as the ap-
pearances were that the rates would go
good deal lower, II was evident that some
thing must be done. The Michigan Central
being far ahead of its allotted percentage, is
taking MS little business as possible at the
reduced rates, and the general manager has
given orders not to go below
twenty cents on grain for the
present. The local committee of
Chicago, on east bound freight traffic held
meeting aud exchanged views in regard to
the situation. Quite number OF the metn-
bers declared they were not taking any bust
ness for less than tariff rates, but every one
present knew this was not true and all SMILED.
Everybody present admitted the situation of
affairs was serious one and that ii some
thing was not done to stop the cutting of
rates the decentralization would upset all
business. Commissioner Fink has call, d
another meeting of tue joint executive COM
miitee for next week when rigorous effort
will be made to settle the present troubles.
On the whole there is little confidence that
the troubles will be settled. A sort of confer
ence was subsequently, held among some of
the railroad officials and a temporary
rate of 20 cents from Chicago to New York
on grain and flour aud 20 cents on provisions
was agreed To, but there is no more reason
to think this rate will stand any more than
those that have ALREADY been upset. Some
prominent railroad officials are OF the opinion
that the present conflict is scheme on the
part of the Pennsylvania and the New York
Central to depress West Shore securities in
order 20 give them an opportunity to buy up.
The West Shore has been thorn in the side
of the trunk lines ever since it was opened
for business. and 1t was stated short time
ago that rumors were afoat that the trunk
lines meant to buy the West Shore, and thus
place it in a position where it could no
longer do them any harm. If such is the
case, the present war will no doubt continue
for some time.

Another dull day as far SO matters OF gen.

Doran's bill forbidding the running Of cor

might as well have been, for it was amended
to a fine as low as 81 to be imposed.

A. short distance east of La Crosse, a rail-
is reported, caused no loss of life or injury
to any person. When one considers the ma
ture OF the accident it seems very strange
that it could have happened and no one
should have been injured The particulars
are very meager indeed. The report is that
the Milwaukee train No. 8, coming towards
st. Paul, when near La Crosse ran into
freight train, which caused the whole
passenger train to leave the track, and
yet though the whole train was
thrown from the rails no person was injured.
OF course all the trains That were behind the
passenger tram were delayed. track was
Duilt around the wreck and the fast mail
train came around and reached st. PAU sew

per car in stead of 1870. 1t is hoped and ex-
pected that this reduction will serve to slim
ulate immigration to the west. This is the
third reduction this road has determined
upon. On the lst of January the transcon-
tinental lines reduced the rates from all
eastern points to the Pacific coast points. On
the 25th of January new tariff from st.
Paul and eastern points on general merchan-
disc to interior points in Oregon and Wash
in ton territories will go into effect. Now
comes the third reduction to take effect on
the 1st of February.

Il has Just decided upon third reduction to
take effect February 1. On that date It will
issue a new emigraut moyabIes rate TO all
local points On The line west Of St. Paul.
Under this there will be material reduction
IN present rates. The changes will effect
mostly points 10 western Montana, Idaho,
Washington territory and Oregon. This re-
duetlop viii be on the basis Of 80 per cent.
Of the present tariff. The rates 70 Spokane,
which have heretofore been 800 per

A Hamd.ome Pye,rnt-weu Be.,oserd.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. T. w. TeasdaIe,
general passenger agent of the Chicago, St..
Paul & Omaha road, was made the recipient
OF handsome and valuable gold watch, the
same being presented by his friends in the
Omaha headquarters building aud along the
line Of the road. There was no foolishness
about o. manner Of presenting the same.
On the contrary the manner IN which that
part Of the transaction was done was very
ludicious and suitable. The watch was OBJ.
tained from the establishment of Messrs
Myers d Finch, and was sent down to Mr.
Teasdale about O'Clock In the evening by
that firm. The inscription upon tue watch
informed Mr.. Teasdale what 1t all
meant, and no further explanation was
needed. The result was that Mr. Teasdale
was a good deal surprised when he opened
that little package and found what IL CON
tained. The whole outst consisted Of gold
hunting case watch, solid gold chain and
an elegant charm. On one side Of the case
on the outside was q monogram OF the first
letters OF his name, IT. w. r." On the in
side was inscribed the following: "T. w.
