ROADS MAKE TRAFFIC DEAL
c. e N. w. AND n. p. ARRANGE
THROUGH SERVICE.
Mutual Interchange Of Freight on a
Larger Scale Expected in
Future.

New York, Dec. 15.-HOward Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, issued a statement
from the New York office of the COM
pany relative to an important traffic
agreement entered into with the Chi
cago & Northwestern.
arrangement has been completed
between the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company and the Northern
Pacific railway for through passenger
train service to the Pacific coast over
the roads named. The Northern Pa
cities train. known as the North Coast
Limited. will. on and after Dec. II,
run to and from Chicago over the
Northwestern road, and will not only
serve New York and Chicago and its
tributary territory, but also Milwau>
kee and interior Wisconsin. The
train will leave Chicago at 10 O'Clock
1890 the next morning. The east
bound rain leaves St. Paul at $50 a..
m. and arrives in Chicago at 9 p. m.
The time from Chicago to the North
Pacic coast will be p hours west
bound. and 70 hours eastbound, the
same as is made by other through
trunk lines between Chicago and
North Pacific points. There will be
nc change in time of the North Coast
Limited between st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis and the Pacific coast over the
Northern Pacific.'
Under this plan, communities
served by the Northern Pacific will
have the benefit of a through train to
and from Chicago via the Burlington
and Northwestern roads and to and
from Milwaukee and central Wiscon-
sin via the Northwestern road.
Freight Traffic involved.
Elliott, in making public the an
nouncement, said that while it direct
ly involves only passenger traffic. it
is expected that it will result in mu-
tual interchange of freight traffic or
a larger scale than heretofore.
Lumber. e%asthound over the North
ern Pacific, will be transferred to
some extent at what is known as
Oakcs Gateway to the Northwestern
lines and distributed over a consider
able territory in Il southeasterly di-
rection.
In return for the lumber transferred
it is expected that the road viii give
the Northern Pacific a considerable
amount OF general merchandise west
bound.

walls a notice to the rescuers that
they had beer there.
Sam Miller is signing his own name
to each notice, thus: Going to No.
So but when the rescuers reach No.
So, they find that Sam and his men
have gone on to another place.
ReScuerS have begun to dig through
Thistle mine, which adjOins Cross
Mountain mine, in order to get at the
miners who are still alive. Thirty
feet Of earth and stone separate them.
1t is said by miners in the Thistle
that they have heard %rappings on the
other side of the barricade.
All Of Briceville is assembled at the
mine and is watching with dread in
terest the outcome Of the game with

Delhi's plight and went to her assist
ance, but were unable to approach the
stranded vessel. An effort to SEND
life-boats to the Delhi failed.
