which was one of the grandest SgnIs
ever witnessed in that city. Long Dc

up their positions along the proposed

space was occupied with anxious peo,
pie who had long aud tedious walt 0e'

THE JAM AT THE DEPOT.
At the conclusion OF the evenings
procession, the thousands of people who
remained to witness it; rushed towards
Broad street station The crowd
soon filed the depot while the streets
for several squares we're blocked, the
like of which was never witnessed be-
fore in the history Of the railroad com
pany. Train after train was dlspal ch.
ed, loaded with human freight, bound
for various points, as quickly as CIR
cumstances would permit, great care
being taken in the runnin Z OF trains to
AVOID accident.
Notwithstanding this fact, may peo-
pie, because they did not get in the first
train were disposed to SrOwl at the
railroad company and many were the
remarks heard: "Its an outrage, they
should be written up" etc. Those who
made use of such remarks did not take
into consideration the fact that the
company, even TO accommodate It's
patrons, would not run tn, ir trains in
such manner as to JeopardlZe the
lives of the passengers and hence II
was that persons were compelled TO
wait for hours. The company had not
anticipated such a vast number OF vlsl-
tors and ct course, did not have cars
enough to accommodate the immense
throng. The travel over the p, w. &
B. road on Tuesday and yesterday far
exceeded any day during the Centen
nial and it was with difficulty that
the road can carry those desiring to go.
Upto9 o'CloCks yesterdayg morning
over 5000 tickets had been sold at the
Wilmington depot alone and extra
trains we're run at frequent intervals.
As soon as they arrived at their desti-
nation the people were unloaded and
the empty cars sent back. With buch
precision are the trains run, that as yet
no accident hos occurred aud it is
huped that there will be none.
The last special train cut of Philadel
phia this morning left that city shortly
before A o'clock with over 1000 persons
on board who had been waiting PaLient
ly for several hours,
While waiting at the station MANY
amusing incidents occurred, one Z
which, at least, is worthy Of note. a
mau much the worse of liquor, pushed
his way through the crowd and started
to go through the passage way leadlnG
up stair, be was stopped by the flee
in attendance who desired to know
where he was going. After stutterine
a few moments and hardly knowing
where be wan'ed to go, he replied :"
want to 20 to h--l," wherenpOn tn,
man pushed him through and said "pu
this man on train for Wilmington.
MUral-Rathrr hard on Wilmington.
