press companies, and persons having
occasion to use vehicles about the
building.
Over the main entrance there is a
massive tower, which, when completed,
will be ninety six feet in height, and
will contain clock keeping the exact
railroad time
The offices, baggage rooms, parlors,
&c, occupy one-fourth the entire width
of the building on the south side. A
balcony, extending the whole length of
the building, with stair-ways leading to
it at four places, is built upon timbers
projecting from the wall, at height
even with the second floor. By means
Of it, officers will ascend to their res
pective places of business without pass
ing through each others rooms, and
from any point on it everything going
on below can be observed.
There will be but one Depot Master,
Mr.. G. E. Robinson, who will have an
assistant for each road; Mr. Robinson
has been Depot Master for two roads
in the old depot ten years, and his ap-
pointment as chief in the new depot is
a compliment to his worth as railroad
man. His office will be in the central
part of the building on the second
floor, at point easy of access, and
where everything can be Observed
The rooms for lost baggage will be on
his right, or towa7 the east end, and
Immediately ON his left, toward the
west end, an office will be fitte up in
proper shape for the four Superin-
tendents. a,
The telegraph office will be on the
left of the bridge entrance, convenient
to all part of the building. The ope-
rators of all the roads will occupy this
room, which will be arranged in a style
commensurate with the building and
wants OF the road.
On the ground floor the 'Dinning
Hall, under the supervision of messrs
Wheeler & Russell will come first, at
the west end. They have been con-
nected with the business of catering for
the public so long and successfully, that
they are universally set down as the
right men in the right place. Their
rooms are lighted and heated, like 9th
er parts of the building, with chanda-
liers and Colds patent Radiators
The gas fixtures were furnished by Ar
cher & Pancost, New York, and the
heaters by D. R. Benton & Co., Brook
lyn, New York !.
Next, on the ground floor, comes the
ladies' parlOr, ticket office, package
room, and gentlemen's parlor. The
room for ladies is arranged as it ought
to be in every depot of the land-large,
clean, comfortable and convenient in
every respect. A woman will have
charge Of it and be instructed to see
that ladies have every convenience ne
cessarily required while occupying it.
Unlike the arrangement in the old
depot, there will bc but one ticket Of
fee, which will be under the supervi-
sion of Mr. B. G. Harris, with Mr. W.
I A. Mcintosh as first assistant and Mr..
A. r. Smith as. second assistant. All
these gentlemen have had years of eX-
perience in the business, and we can
safely say travellers will always find
them ready to impart information in a

were retained by the companies since
; the Union was effected and all the of
fees were merged into one, speaks for
their integrity and ability.
The room for! parcels, between the
ladies and gentlemen's parlors, opening
by windows into both, will also be us
ed as a news room under the superin-
tendence of IT. Olmsted & Bros, who
have furnished the travelling public, in
the old depot, with all the choice liter
ature and newspapers of the day for a
number ofyears.
1t is a singular fact that this i'm
mense structure was erected without
the loss.of single life or manning OF
!, a workman. When the vast amount OF
material that had to be elevated by
pulleys is taken into consideration with
the great number of platforms necessa-
ry, it is surprising that an average of
: III men could work there over two
| years without one casualty. 1t can
only be accounted for upon the ground
that one or two minds controlled the
whole force, consequently no dangers
were incurred by carless management
5 AS we said in the beginning it was
, difficult to determine upon place to
begin, so it is upon place to end its
,, description. Perhaps hundred little
things might be said about the floors
windows, painting, railing Plumbing
, &C., DC, but we will close the descrip-
ton with table, from which the read
er will learn at glance the amount OF
material in the building.
