Baltimore & Ohio Engineers Consult ing With the Officials- -The Erie statement. __ St. Louis, Mo., Dec 28.— of the \ most important ptojects of the year, in so | far as St. Louis is concerned, is a project ' which is now being perfected for giving a j new outlet to New- England points, with j St. Louis as the center of distribution, j What work has been done in the matter has | only recently attracted especial attention, i and even then the true inwardness of the j scheme, was not suspected by railroad men. Reference has heretofore been made to the j St. Louis. Danville ft Northeastern in con- j nection with an enterprise under the direc tion and control of 11. W.

For a time it i was generally believed that the two projects ; were under the same management ; and being kept separate, and, when j Completed; consolidated into one system. I But it is now known that they are wholly j distinct and separate enterprises, conducted j by different interests. The first is a reor- I ganization of the old Michigan, Indiana & St. Louis, covering the territory from Sturgis, Mich., to Danville. 111., while the latter is substantially an extension of the i Grape Creek division of another corpora tion from the vicinity of Sidell, either by way of the old graded road-bed of the de funct Danville, Tuscola & Western, or southwest via the four county corners of Vermillion. Edgar, Champaign and Doug las, and of Comarga to a point on the Illinois Central at either Tuscola or Areola. The project is being perfected in the inter est of the Grand Trunk, which is feeling its way cautiously in the direction of St. Louis, and within sixty days, it is claimed, will demonstrate that it means business and will have a line into St Louis by the latter part of 1887. The- proposed route is almost an air line, and is projected to run from Battle. Creek. Mich., diagonally across life comer of the state of Indiana, and striking Danville. Sullivan.

The committee of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad engineers are still in Baltimore in consultation with the officials. An agreement has been reached upon all important questions, a few minor matters being still under considera tion. An official of the road stated this morning that it was only a question of a day or two until the matter would be amica bly settled. The Erie Statement.

Red Lake Falls is located at the junction of the lied Lake and Clearwater rivers, on high, dry aDd level ground, lying ninety live feet above the river's water level. [Business is now represented in most all •branches, and with the added prosperity afforded by the Duluth & Manitoba, which is now running daily trains from here to Winnipeg junction. Bed Lake Falls has all the advantages any town could wish for. One of the principal advantages upon which this town depends for its future growth and prosperity is its large water power. Located En this vicinity, on the lied Lake and Clearwater rivers, are thir teen distinct water powers, two of which are now improved and furnishing the motive power for two roller flouring mills end one saw mill. The other powers can be easily utilized, and will furnish an almost unlimited motive power. • The pro ject of building the Duluth & Manitoba was originated by J.B. Homes, who is pres ident of the road, with the assistance of E. G. Bailey, who is chief enginneer. The city has now two large roller mills— one on the Bed Lake river and tne other on the Clearwater — two saw mills one brewery, six hotels, seven general stores, two hard ware stores, one tank, two furniture stores, one paintshop, thife blacksmith shops, three shoe stoles, three harness shops, one photograph gallery, nineteen saloons, two drug stores (one of them being owned by W. A. Schreiter. who is exclusive agent for the St. Paul Globe), a number of real estate offices and a land office. Among the real estate men are: A. J. liar wood & Co., formerly of Fargo; .1. F.

News Notes of Interest to the People of the Croat 'territory. It has been supposed that the mainly ver j bal duels fought by Col. Donan in the Black Hills were the only recognition of the code of honor found in tho history of the territory, I but the Cay Republican recalls the passage of Col. Jonathan Kimball, It says: '-In the i early days of the Black Hills excitement, in | one of the crude towns of Dakota's Eldorado I a 'gentleman of honor; ran fe*-ninst the ! colonel and demanded satisfaction. The i choice of weapons rested with the colonel and he designated 100 pound anvils at fifty paces, or fifty pound anvils at 100 paces. This so •broke up' the belligerent fellow that he shortly died from grief at not being able to heave the anvil over a score of feet, or prob ably, in fact, of not being able to make a score. The colone. still lives and is able to ac cept many more challenges on the same terms." The government rather played off on Messrs. J. M. Tuohy and F. D. Harrison, of Pembina, recently. The latter, wanting to make vacancies in the custom house at St. Vincent for friends, preferred charges for alleged irregular conduct against N. K. Nel son and F. C. Myrick. A departure was made from the usual custom, aud copies of the charges, with names of accusers, were furnished the accused, and an investigation ordered at St. Vincent. This was a stunner for the young men who made the charges. The accused were on band defiant and ready to refute all accusations, but the accusers were not there. A young man who came to Dakota a few years ago, as bo crossed the line, declared that he came for the sole purpose of becom ing "a great statesman who would rise to the front rank of political life." He has worked steadily and untiringly to that end, and now has the proud satisfaction of being addressed as '•Hon." He is a member of the Huronfl at legislature. His example is an encouraging one to young men wbo are ambitious. It was from Kansas, not Dakota, that the young man elected to the legislature wrote East to his friends that mighty small men could get office there. . .* i The Clark papers differ as to the propriety of the discipline administered to the expunged city marshal, C. J. Berdan, in taking him from tbe bands of tbe officers at midnight and administering tar aDd feathers on account of alleged attempts to debauch young girls. One defends it and another pronounces it a gross outrage. Most of tbe citizens are reticient over the unlawful actlou of the mob, but are free to sa.' they are glad the community is rid of the fellow. , Gov. Pennington, in his Yankton telegram, has in mind former legislatures when ho takes this view of the pliancy of members of the coming legislature: "One North Dakota mem ber will go into the Bismarck legislature with a bill of forty-two pages to regulate railroads and elevators. This kind of a spasm seizes some of the Dakota law-makers every two years, and the roads have to make a liberal distribution of passes to stay the cyclone of reform." The members elected to the Bismarck legis lature from the First district lately had a caucus at Canton to investigate the affairs of Vermillion university, which was lound all right and prosperous, and to decide what ap propriations to work for in the legislature. T.ie notable feature of the gathering was that c .eh of the. members claimed to have paid railroad fare there. They were new law makers, however, and have not beeu to Bis marck. The beautifully located town of Minnewau kan, on the west end of Devil's lake, finds its development hampered by the occupation of a half dozen or so of the adjacent townships by a band of Indians wbo use only a few little patches for gaid a truck. It is insisted that they should have no more land tbau white folks, and the rest should be sold and culti vated. Congress will be petitioned in tbe matter.

Southwest — every day growing to larger proportions." The Milbank Index says it is proposed in the South to get up a test case to submit to the supreme court ovor the action of the consti tutional convention la repealing the restrain : ing clause in the constitution. As there is no more legal status to tbis concern than to any political convention, it is not seen how the court can get a judicial eye upon it. The appearances now are that the mission aries of*the Huron alleged state will go through the South beating their tom-toms with about as much permanent effect as would a band of the Salvation army. They will need better certificates than have yet been devised to convince the people that the scheme does not belong to the political grave yard.

PAUL NEWS. "ER.tftiKl*:'' SCENERY. A Peep Behind the Curtain— The Way the Scenery is Worked— Lovely Display off Scenic Art. "Erminie'' is a growing opera. It not ' only catches the popular fancy, but it holds I it. The largely increased audience at the i Grand last night was a demonstration of J this. Whether it is simply because the j opera grows on one or whether the per formance was better rendered, the piece ! seemed 'to move with more smoothness than on the preceding night. It is seldom that a more critical audience is seen at the I opera house than the one last night, and the numerous expressions of approval can fain, be construed into a verdict in favor of the merit of "Erminie" as an artistic pro duction. An especially attractive feature of the op era is the splendid stage setting. It is the same scenery that is used in the New York Casino, which in its decorations is a mar vel of sceric art. The scenery was painted by Henry E-Hoyt, the Casino stage artist, and every bit of it used in the production of the opera here belongs to the company, and requires a sixty-foot car to haul it. The pink ball-room scene of the second act is constructed with a thoroughly artistic sense of the fitness of things. When the curtain rises on the second act the great ball room is seen with its twisted pillars of alabaster in translucent rose -pink shades, supporting the roof; the walls shading in the same tints, and the softness of coloring and light give an illusive effect that fairly takes the breath from the spectator. To one standing immediately fronting the stage in the aisle near the foyer the ball room has the appear ance of being at least 300 feet deep. The large candlebras in front, with their jetted lights, having the appearance of real wax candles, bring the foreground into promin ent view, while the smaller candlebras to the rearward with the gauze hung in front of them give the most perfect perspective that has ever been seen in stage scenery. Ordinarily a close inspection of stage scen ery destroys the pleasant illusion gained by a view of it from the auditorium. But it is not so with the pink ball room scene in ••Erminie." When viewed closely it is still the same grand success of scenic art. The figuring is brought out with exquisite skill in tracing and the tinting is of the same delicate cast that is seen from the auditorium. Just as a painting, without regard to its stage uses, it is a real work of art. Although the scenery of the hist and tr ird acts do not produce upon an au dience the same delightful impression that the scenery of the second act does, still they are marvels of artistic beauty and are as thoroughly meritorious as the famous pink ball room scene. To the unitiated it is a surprise how such elahorate stage scenery can be set and removed in so short a space of time. And yet it is scarcely less sur prising when one is introduced behind the scenes and sees what a quantity of stuff has to be handled. It requires the most thor ough system and discipline in the stage management to do it. Mr. Matlin, the stage manager of the Erminie company, is a master of his vocation. His eye is never off the stage and scenery. He gives his commands in a quiet subdued tone, yet he speaks with a firmness that admits of no insubordination. His instructions ire given with. a clearness that leaves no room for misunderstanding. His subordinates seem to have caught the spirit of the boss and everything moves with an expedition and noiselessness that is astonishing. Scarcely has the curtain dropped at the close of the beautiful vocal gavotte, which makes the finale of the second act, than the great pink ball-room has disappeared as if by magic. A "supe" with a half dozen of the alabaster pillars on his back is strid ing toward the fartherest corner; another one lugging the whole side of A wall is going in another direction, while two or three are piling the roof up in sections against the wall. As the ball-room goes down, another set of carpenters are rearing the corridor with its magnificent stairway in its place; and before the young men, who have gone out to hear what the dickey birds are saying, have had time to return the curtain is up and the play is on again. There is a good deal of enjoyment in the front of the stage during an opera perform ance, but there is a deal of hard work be hind the scenes all the same. ■;-■'. -; j '->:. ,'t .. i DRAMATIC NOTES. Miss Leslie, who gives such a cute inter pretation of Jarvotte, has >een an invalid for two weeks and was unable to play during the Minneapolis engagement. But when she heard Monday tbat the Snow Shoe club was to honor the performance with an attendance, there was not power enough in the whole medical faculty to keep her in bed. She got right dp and went to the opera and sang her part, notwithstanding the protestations of the management and the whole company. She was rewarded for her pluck by being greatly improved by the exertion. in addition to getting unstinted applause from the audi ence. ■'.",'■ '.:, C:' : ; t ■ Fred Solomon is as original as he is humor ous. His appearance in a toboggan suit last night was a cute little trick that caught well. All that was needed to complete the humor of the suggestion was a blanket and four stout snow sheers to give him a toss. Miss Mary Stuart who plays the Princess in ••Erminie," is a sister of Stuart Robson, the famous comedian. She illustrates the histrionic ability of her family in her humor ous impersonation of the character she as sumes. Mr. Haskell, the handsome young manager of the Minneapolis Tribune, occupied a box with a party of friends at the Grand during the "Erminie" performance last evening. Mr. Doboll, who plays Eavennes with such exquisite humor, is a blood relative of some of the most prominent families in this city. There will be a matinee performance of "Erminie" tbis afternoon, commencing at 2 o'clock.

Sen kit Will Lead a Winter Excursion Through the Yellow stone Park. Lieut Fred Schwatka. famous as an ex- I plorer, was at the Northern Pacific general offices yesterday- making preparations for i heading a snow shoeing party on a trip ; through the Yellowstone Park. The party I will consist of Lieut. Schwatka, com mander; F. Jay Haynes, of Fargo, official j photographer of the Northern Pacific, road; j J. G. Ross, vice president of the North western Snow Shoe club, Montreal, Canada; Henry Bosse, an artist employed in the ' TJ nited States engineer's office. Rock Island, j 111.; J. W. Brockell, of Rock Island. 111., | and an old-time Rocky mountain hunter ! and snow shoer, and 11. C. Wadsworth, i president of the Buffalo. N. V., Snow Shoe ] club. These men all claim to be experi enced snow shoers. This excursion is gotten •up by the Northern Paci fie road and will be the first ever made through the park in the winter. Mr. Haynes will take with him one of the finest photograph ing machines that can be purchased, and photographs of all prominent points along the line of the run will be taken, which will give beautiful views and winter scenes in the park that have never been photographed or painted. The party leaves to- morrow afternoon and will arrive at Mammoth Hot Springs, from which point they start Satur day. Jan. 2. It is expected that the trip will occupy two weeks, j and the journey will be made on snow shoes and Norwegian skis. The line of the run will be away from the old trail. It will extend east from Mammoth Springs to Yoncey's and Tower Falls on the Yellowstone river; from this they will go south and over Mt. Washburn, the highest mountain in the park, whose peak is perpetually covered with snow. Its height above the level of the. sea is 10.340 feet From the mountain they will proceed to the grand canon and south to Yellowstone lake, then west across the continental divide to upper geyser basin, from which point they go north to Hell's half acre aud lower geyser basin, thence to Morris. From Morris the party will go west to the cascades when they double on their tracks, returning .to Morris and pro ceed north to Mammoth hot springs, the point from which they will start The route covers nearly a hundred and seventy five miles. This is quite an i mportant trip as it is the only one ever made over that country in the winter and many new points will be visited, which will be ren dered much more interesting since they will be winter scenes. The Northern Pacific people have been contemplating this trip for several months and General Passen ger Agent Fee has been in correspondence with Lieut Schwatka regarding the matter for a long time. The snow shoers will re turn in time to enjoy the ice carnival here. St. Haul Real Estate. The largest sale of real estate record 6 d yes tcrdajr was that of Paul Martin to the St. .
