of-way depa rtn1ent yesterday bought the
last piece Of ground required In the i'm
provements set under way last spring.
Work on the freight house is progress
ing somewhat slowly owing to the non
arrival Of Washington pine. The con-
tractor, to keep the masons at work has
been compelled to leave out parts of the
flooring and will piece them out later.
The first third of the house has been
bricked up two stories to the roof. The
masons are laying the first course above
the main floor in the second third and the
other 1870 feet has not yet been touched
above the foundation. It will take six
weeks to complete the structure. Engi-
neer Sublette has begun to pave the
stretch between the Fourth street curb
and the warehouse with Kettle: RIVER

track hauling
~. The graders are just completing the
Jeyeling> for tho tracks between Tenth and
twelfth avenues. Between Ninth and
Tenth the work has just begun. The
grade Of the tract between Eighth and
Ninth avenues is much lower than at the
other end, allowing gravity switching up
from the Milwaukee tracks.

NO TRIVIAL THING
Judge McGee on Record as a Vigor-

Three Husbands Who Sought Di-
NM vorce Are Denied Relief for
Reasons Forcibly Stated.

Judge MCGEE of the Hennepin district
court, has gone on,srecord as vigorously
opposed to divorce for any trivial reason.
Decisions and memoranda filed to-day in
three cases show that the judge is a firm
believer Tin the dignity and seriousness
of the institution of matrimony and re-
CARDS the yoke as too sacred a thing to be
put on or off lightly In all the cases

Ralph Schaft, who; sought a separation
from Fay Schaft, variety actress, whom,
he accuses Of desertion. They were mar
rted two years ago. when he was Fl and
she was II. Judge MCGEE denies the ap-
plication for divorce and appends a
memorandum recittng, from the evidence,
how the plaintiff married the defendant,
knowing the vicious character OF her asso-
Citations. The memorandum character
istically concludes: -. r. Z

The q. < A. r.. Business.

The Chicago twin lines met yes
,terday to. see where they stood with re-
gard to- G.sA.e r. rates to try to bolster up
rates. It,was soon discovered, however,
that all the business which moves by
posts from St.; Paul and Minneapolis had
been: contracted for. Charges flew fast
and thick, and some owned UP and some
did not. The Milwaukee, which has Sc
cured the great bulk Of the traffic, denied
taking any less than the agreed rate and
the Wisconsin Central asserted that it
had secured little business because 1t had
not cut the rate. In connection with the
reunion it was stated yesterday that the
Monon, in connection with the Chesa-
peake & Ohio road, had secured the bulk
Of the contractable business from Chicago,
Iowa and Illinois.

WAGES ARE RAISED
The Twin City Switohmen Receive
an Increase Of Is Cents
a Day.
A Question Whether This Action
Will Forestall the Mems De
mand for Still More. 8

The various railway companies having
terminals in the twin cities, and the
Minnesota Transfer company, have de-
cided to increase the wages OF their
switchmen and beginning to-day the
schedule is increased ~ cents an hour,
or Is cents day. This action was taken
by the managers without any demand on
the part Of the switchmen. ~ : :" FL
It Is understood that the switchmen. of
the twin cities and of Duluth and West
Superior had been planning to ask Tor a
material increase In wages. Since the
strikes Of '93 and '94, when the switchmen
were beaten and their organization almost
completely destroyed. there: has been no
regular schedule of wages. The organ
ization has now been strengthened and
recently committee was appointed to
draft a new schedule of wages, This COM
mittee had formed it's schedule, which
was about to be submitted to the main
body. This schedule calls for an increase
Of cents per hour over the old rate. or
81 cents increase over the rate since to-
days increase has been given.
- The schedule that has been in vogue
up to the present time was IS, 81 and 30
cents an hour. This is lower than is paid
In other cities and the union considered
that 1t should be increased to 80, 80 and
"a cents an hour. and decision to de-
mand such an advance was reached at a
recent meeting. 1t is thought that in some
way the managers Of the various railway
companies learned that the demand was
going to be made and that to-day's in
crease of IN cents an hour was given with
the hopes that it would save an additional
increase Of 3a cents. ~
While the switchmen have decided to
accept the voluntary increase offered by
their employers, yet they have not in any
way pledged themselves to be satisfied
with such an increase and it is likely that
they will ask that they be paid the same
schedule that is used in other parts of the
country.
