NEW UNION DEPOT.
Northern Pacific Getting Ready to
Use Its Own Terminals.

Some important improvements are
being made in this city, the most Sig
nificant of which is along the North
ern Pacific's short line from North
town Junction to st. Paul Within the
last few weeks this line has been in
process of reconstruction, it having
been for several years in a condition
unsafe for heavy traffic. The line In
question parallels the Great Northern
from Northtown Junction to Nine
teenth avenue northeast and Madison
street, thence crossing to the south
west, striking Central avenue near Fiji
teenth, bordering Maple Hill cemetery
on the east side, and thence across
Elwell's addition to st. Anthony Park.
From there it connects with the pas
senger line of the Northern Pacific.
now used by the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis and Chicago & Great Western.
The improvements are taken to indi-
cate the intention Of the road to trans
act as much of it's freight business as
possible on its own line, and escape the
enormous expense of its lease to the
Great Northern. 1t will be remembered
that some ten days ago the receivers
made application for the dissolution of
the union depot leases in both cities
and also of the Great Northern lease,
but whether or not these leases are
dissolved, it will not prevent the
Northern Pacific from handling a large
part of it's freight traffic over it's own
line.
Officials of the company are confident
that the lease will be dissolved, as
asked for by the receiver, and gossip
in railroad circles is to the effect that
within a few weeks the Northern Pa
cific passenger trains will use the
Northern Pacific depot at the foot of
Fourth street, and the Minneapolis &s
st. Louis depot in Minneapolis. This
arrangement, if carried out, will cause
some inconvenience in Minneapolis, as
it will necessitate switching all trains
and delay of several minutes in
time will ensue, but the understanding
is that it is only a temporary arrange
ment, to be enforced until such time
as the new union depot can be built
on the grounds controlled by the COM
pany at the foot of Second avenue
south.

CURIOUS GOINGS ON.
People Terrified by Mysterious
Men and Women.

Men and Women.
Residents in the vicinity of Third
avenue south, Clinton avenue and
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets
were alarmed Saturday night over a
rumor that mysterious characters
were lettering in the neighborhood
The section of the city bounded by
Nicollet avenue, Eighth avenue
south, Grant street and Franklin
avenue has no police protection
owing to the smallness of the police
force
Saturday night residents along
Third avenue in this section, par
ticularly in four large houses be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, were aroused late at night
by the violent ringing Of their door
bells. An answer by the inmates of
the house who asked to know what
was wanted, brought the reply that
there were burglars in a house on
Clinton avenue and help was want
ed Immediately. In none of the
three houses did any one come to the
door, but the police were notified.
and proceeded at once to the neigh
borhood, the superstition being that
the parties ringing the door bells
hoped to get the man of the house
at the door, hold him up and then
go through the house.
Saturday night, and until late Sun
day morning, the territory in ques-
ton was carefully watched by Off
GERS and inspectors, but no trace of
the mysterious characters could be
found. Yesterday, however, the police
learned that the party who had been
ringing the doorbells was an insane
man named Burkett, who resides on
Fourth avenue south. near Franklin,
who had wandered away from home
Saturday forenoon and was not found
until yesterday.
This affair had no sooner been
cleared up than another report was
sent In to police headquarters by
gentleman living on Clinton avenue,
OF two mysterious women in the neigh,
borhood who were acting very sus-pi,
ciously, and who were supposed to be
men dressed in women's clothes. On
Friday night the gentleman IN ques,
ton met a tall, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
woman in the neighborhood acting in
suspicious manner, and followed her
for some time, but could find nothing
very wrong, although she appeared to
be watching certain houses. Satur.
day night the same gentleman met an
other woman, short in stature, also
handsomely dressed, and in the same
neighborhood. The short woman, too.
was acting In suspicious manner and
the gentleman decided to follow her
at distance, just to see what she
was after. The short woman strolled
about the neighborhood for some time,
and had been there but q few minutes
when she was joined by the tall
woman; the two held a brief consulta-
ton and then separated, one going one
way and the other another way. The
gentleman who did the shadowing de-
cided to report the matter to head
ing it.

Neither Burmese nor Siamese men take

and living is remarkably cheap among
them. There is great strictness in
their religious observances, and their

TOLEDO RAILWAY ROW.
Tyventy-Six Men Are Arrested for
LabOring on SUNDAY

LabOrinE on Sunday,
TOLEDO, o. April 14-Cburcb-
goers in the lower part of the CITY were
treated to the unusual spectacle short
ly after o'clock this morning of the
mayor and chief of police dashing out
of La Grange street police station be-
hind fiery bay steed, followed i'm
mediately by two patrol wagons load
ed to the stops with officers. Fifteen
minutes later the wagons might have
been seen returning to the central
station, having on board twenty-six
prisoners-street laborers, who had
been arrested on a charge of violating
the ordinance prohibiting manual
labor on the Sabbath. Those incidents
formed the climax to the attempt of
the Manufacturers Railroad Com
pany to lay a line on Water street,
without the permission, it is alleged.
of the city engineer. The ordinance
enfranchising the company passed the
city council after bitter fight, and it
was limited during the past week that
the company would be restrained from
attempting to put down rails on Water
street. AS the city clocks struck mid
night Sunday, a big force of men
were put 10 Work on the line anS>con
tinued without interruption until this
morning. They expected to finish their
task by midnight tonight, but they
were stopped by the police. At the
police station, Bick & Clam, the con-
tractors, gave bail for the twenty-six
men arrested, and the latter will have
hearing tomorrow. Unless the con-
tractors are restrained, they will re-
sumo operations at midnight they
say. At all events the franchise of
