The report came yesterday indirectly
from Senator Sabin's Office (the trans
fer company that the trains on the
Saltwater branch of the Milwaukee
road are about to run regularly into
the union station, the differences
between the Milwaukee road and
the transfer company being settled.
MIR. Shedd, local agent of the Milwau-
kee, said that it was possible that such
all arrangement would be conSummated
before long. certainly not later than
September. Certain obstacles still eX
listed, but they would probably be re-
moved. 1t was also reported from
the same source that the North
ern Pacific management would
soon run Wisconsin Central short
line trains between Saltwater
and st. Paul over the st. Paul and Du
luth track between this city and Duluth
Junction, and thence over the CentraPS
own track. Supt. Blakeny, of the union
station, gave the report some cOnfirma-
ton, but said it ought not to be pub
lShed. A young man in the employ OF
the Northern Pacific said the report was
nearly correct. but that next spring the
Central would make cut off of the
main line by building from point near
New Richmond through or near by'
Saltwater to st. Paul.

latter were entirely favorable to the
recommendation of Hon. III. r. Murdoch
for the appointment of district judge.
They asked for no political combination
with this county to further their own
ambition in the way of future judge
ship. but apparently conceded the Office
to Washington county freely and with
out reserve. 1t is also said that Willis
ton, the able lawyer who has been so
prominently mentioned, cordially Of
fered to sign recommendation for Mr..
Murdock's appointment. A Chisago
county candidate now appears in the
person of III. N. Setter, of Taylor's
Falls, who was all early warden OF the
state prison. but his candidacy would
probably not be strong outside his own
county. In politics he is a sterling
Democrat, good lawyer and very
much of gentleman.
George II. Sullivan, chairman; +. V.
Comfort and a. E. Mccartney, compos-
ing a committee appointed at the meet
ing of the bar last Monday to draft a
| fee bill ur schedule, have finished their
task, and are ready to report at meet
