baltimore and Ohio Raiirord They
We're All on Their Way to Washington
to Attend the q. A. II. Reunion Fifty |
One Trains Pass Through and Not an
Accident.
Never since the Baltimore and Phila |
delphia railroad was constructed through |
this city, about ten years ago, has more |
human freight been carried over 10 than
the carloads which were transported yes
terday All kinds of cars were put in
service by the company and in these
veterans who had stood in many battles
and those who had seen but little ser
vice, were on their way TO attend and
take part in the great g. A. r. reunion.
A large number Of women were also car
red, they being the wives and relatives
of the veterans.
Almost as soon as the Smyth Post
turned out Dupont Post of Brooklyn ar
rived with detachment OF the Marine
band from Brooklyn. II was still early
morning, but as they marched up Market
street they attracted great attention.
AT the Delaware avenue station OF the
B. q O. this morning, Mr.. Miller said
that during Saturday and Sunday seventy
special trains had passed over the road,
each train averaging ten cars. Forty
trains are passing today and at 9oclock
this morning the survivors Of the st.
Johnsbury, Vt, battalion passed
through.
In the morning about twenty-five posts
from Pennsylvania, New York and New
Jersey arrived and in the afternoon
large number Of posts passed through
from down east. In all of the trains
could be seen the young and old passing
} away the hours by a social game Of
whist or euchre and other games of
amusement. During the day the station
was crowded with curiosity seekers
watching intently the trains as
they carried their heavy loads
of human freight.
There were also there those who were
watching for friends from othor cities
- whom they had not seen for many years.
g In whole there was never such heavy
- travel since the Inauguration day OF
- Grover Cleveland, and some OF the
- officials say that yesterdays travel was
u the heaviest.
J. Not an accident nor derailment oo-
CURED during the day in which forty
q one extra trains, besides the regular ten
u trains, were run between here anc
& Washington. BY counting eight cars C
S a train and seventy persons to a car II
y can be seen that the company carried
I about $4,000 people during the day.
