Columbian Hotel to take a 10 80 p. m.

their ftiAIis and at this entrepot the clans
were arriving II this morning on trains
from Wilmington and the Peninsula. Here
was for5d H. .. Carpenter, the chairman
OF the executive committee, to whom every
one wens to ask hundred or two questions
and who answered them all very bravely
and without losing his temper. About noon
two special private cars on track No. were
opened for the party and they were well
filled, tn ladies and children greatly pre-,

Instead of taking one of the ferries to New
York as 80 out OF every 100 passengers of
incoming trains do they crossed over to the
West Shore railroad tracks to take two
special cars attached to the Saratoga llm-
tied on this road.
After leaving the Jersey City station the
train for some time ran through a very un-
savory and uninteresting part OF Jersey
City which abounded In stagnsnt swamps,
domestic goats and malodorous pig-styee,
all of which the local hoard OF health has
seemed to overlook. The train after leaving
the suburbs hurried along until about 80
