THE HARRISON TRAIN.
Extra Precautions to be Taken to
Guard Against Accidents.
ENGINEER BANNON WILL HAUL IT.
The Schedule for Stations East of Denni-
son Already Made.
WILL ARRIVE HERE AT "a. NJ. TUESDAY

The schedule of the special train carry
ing President-elect Harrison was placed in
the hands of the printer yesterday, and
copies of it will be distributed all over the
road to the employees to-day and tomorrow.
The officials of the Pennsylvania Com
pany who had the matter in charge refused
to say anything about it yesterday, but not
withstanding the attempt to keep the mat
ter quiet THE DISPATCH was enabled to
get a copy of the schedule, which is pub
lished below. The exact time the train will
leave Indianapolis, Columbus and Denni-
son is given. By looking at the table the
readers of The DISPATCH along the Pan
handle road can tell to the minute what time
the Presidential train will pass their station.
The train will run as second section of
No. 20, which arrives in this city at $50
o'clock, Pittsburg time. 1t was intended to
run the Presidential train as close as possi-
Bile behind the first section. This would
make the special arrive in this city at
o'clock, but it will not get here until 315.
Twenty-Five minutes will be allowed be-
tween the first and second sections in order
to provide against any possible errors or
chances of collision.
The train will leave Indianapolis at 3:20
Monday afternoon, and will have on board
the President-elect and his family. They
will arrive at Columbus at S:25, and leave
there 10 minutes later

The statement that the Presdent-elect
would travel in the special car of President
Roberts, OF the Pennsylvania Railroad,
would not be verified by the Pennsylvania
Company officials. In regard to the train,
General Superintendent of Transportation
Joseph Wood said yesterday:
AT HIS OWN SWEET WILL.
"We have left the whole matter in the
hands of President Harrison, and, as he
wants to make quiet trip, we are going to
give it to him. He does not want to be met
by crowds of people, and for that reason we
will not make public the arriving time of
the train. We expect The DISPATCH will |
get hold of it, anyway, but if they do, it !
will not be through this office. L cannot |
say whether the original plans will be
changed or not IN case the matter becomes |
public
awe have arranged our schedule, but like |
all other train schedules it is subject to |
change at any moment. When we have our
arrangements fully made we will give it to
all the papers at the same time"
Barney" Bannon, one of the best passen-
ger engineers on the Panhandle, will bring |
the train in from Dennison. The engine |
that will haul the train will probably be
No. So, heavy class locomotive and one OF |
the best on the Panhandle road. There will
be no effort made at fast time, owing to the |
great liability of accident. John Obey will |
be the fireman.
As stated above, every precaution will be
taken by the com pany to guard against acci-
dent. One of the officials said yesterday
that they would not have the train meet |
with ...
THE SLIGHTEST MISHAP FOR 500, 900.
To-morrpw notices will be sent to the
and section foremen to have
their track walkers be doubly vigilant in
their patrol. One man will be stationed at
every mile of track between Pittsburg and
Dennison. His duty will be to examine
the track and see that everything is all
right until the train passes In addition to
this, the vatchmen will be given strict
orders to see that their switches are setright,
and the wrecking crews at all points along the
line will be on duty to pick up anything
that may blockade the tracks prior to the
passage of the Presidential train. The
wreck trains at Mansfield, Steubenville and
Bowerston will be held in readiness to go to
any part of the road at a moments notice
The Burgettstown engine will also be ready
to go out on that section.
The Pennsylvania Railroad have made
no arrangements yet for the passage of the
rain over their road. 1t will probably
cave after changing engines. about 3:25,
md will arrive in ltoona ahout 7.15
