The Washington Inaugurators Return
by Every Train-AlI Telling the Same
Dreary Story.
The Legislative party that left on Sun
cay from the Delaware Avenue Station
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ar
rived IN Washington few minutes after
clock, and went to the National
Hotel. A number of Delawareans were
there to receive them. Calls were made
on Senators Gray and Salisbury and
Representative Pennington. A general
good time was spent Sunday. Yesterday
most of Delaware's contingent viewed
the parade from the second story OF the
Syracuse House. Colonel Cody Anfenger
had rented two large rooms in the house
and generously distributed hospitality to
every one from this state who appeared.
A quiet time was enjoyed on the way
down. The Baltimore and Ohio people
gave the party one of the best of their
passenger coaches. In one corner of the
car lunch counter had been erected and
was in charge of William K. Grinnage
The party will leave Washington at AGO
this afternoon on their return trip.
A rainy day in Washington is about as
miserable thing as one can conceive.
1t never ceased raining from the time the
party arrived until their leaving. Clothes
were ruined and the wearers thoroughly
drenched with rain. good many per-
n sons caught cold and no doubt number
will remember the Inauguration by reak-
ing rheumatic pains. On the streets of
Washington one would meet a Della
warean at every few steps.
n The p w. & B. and B. & o. railroads
N are carrying the crowds from Washing
n ton home through this city in long and
closely following trains. The crowds in
Washington, tired Of the moist and
muddy streets and the rain by noon yes
q terday, began to board the trains for
81 home. From noon yesterday to midnight
e last night forty-five long trains were run
Through Wilmington over the Philadel-
y phia, Wilmington & Baltimore r. r. and
N from midnight last night to noon to-
H day % more went through the city. The
n railroad authorities are sending the
81 trains ont as fast as the trains are filed
up Between 9. 30 and II. 30 o'clock this
s. morning there was lull of north bound
Mtrains and in the meantime three or four
n long trains of empty cars went south
81 After | 1 so o'clock four long trains of
weary inaugurators went by at short in
81 tervals.

ward all last night and to-day From
yesterday afternoon to noon to-day
twenty-f long trains passed the Della
81 ware avenue station.
Small crowds were at the stations
watching the trains, but they were not
las large as those that watched the south
Is bound trains on Sunday. The passengers
s. looked heavy-eyed, tired and jaded and
81 lacked the enthusiasm that characterized
#Ithem when thew went down

specting officer of the late encampment
Brandywine Springs, was in command
