for themselves a somewhat oddly con-
structrd but very commoilous store room

rear oiding TO the course OF the rail-
road tack. The side next Madison street

feet wide, with plenty of space for coun-

Between midnight March Cd and noon
March 4th, the B. & o. r. r. carried into
Washington sixty thousand excursion
passengers, In addition to its reRu or local
and through travel. From 3 o'clo' k
afternoon OF the 4th until midnight of the
5th, an equal numter was carried from
Wa hington. Allowing an average of so
passengers 10 the car, including sire ping
and parlor cars, 1t required 1,20J cars to
accommodate the mult tudes. Adding
to this the necessary number Cf baggage
cars to take care of the baggage of pas
sengers and the supplies and parapher-
MALTA IF military companies, bands and
marching clubs, 1t will bs seen that the
B. Il o. hauled train of 0 cars into
Washington every fifteen minutes from
midnight March 3D., uctil loon March
4h, and out of Washington every fifteen
minutes from 8 +. IN. of the 4Eh until
miinight of the 9th.
In handling this immense volume Of
business, In so short time, not q single
accident occurred aud not a passenger
was injured; not car was dersicd and
not an engine failed to perform it's allot-
ted task. During all this time there was
an incessent fail of rain and all out door
work was invested with very depressing
condil ions.
Tie satisfactory manner in which this
great movement was conducted reflects
the highest credit upon the operating
department Of the b. s. o. Company and
indicates the promptness aud inteli-
grnce with which each member of the
entire rank and iile of the force performed
his assigned share of the labor involved.
