CROWDS AT OHIO PYLE.

Seven Hundred Pittsburgers Spend a
Pleasant Day Among tho Rocks in
Shady Nooks within tho Sound Of
Flashing Waters-Keceived by Colonel
Stewart.
The Baltimore and Ohio road had 478 ex-
cursionists for Ohio Pyle yesterday. The
train consisted of II cars, and made fast
run through the picturesque mountains
along the Youghiogheny. Sunday week
ago the crowd numbered 700, and it varies
from week to week with the weather. The
hotter the day, the greater the exodus to
this beautiful resort. 1t was rather cool
yesterday, and this kept at least 200 from
going. Those who spend one Sunday in the
mountains usually return, and as the day
comes around the conductors recognize
many of their passengers.
The people for Ohio Pyle are the better
element who enjoy days outing. On the
train were the shopkeeper and the shop
girl, the brawny mill worker with his wife
and children, wealthy merchants, some
lawyers and doctors; in short, all sorts and
conditions of men and women. The fare is
cheap, and is proof that low, popular rates
will yield good profit
Ohio Pyle itself is delightful spot in
the wilderness, famous for its falls and
Colonel Andy Stewart. short-lived men,
Der of the present House.
Tho Colonel Declines to Be Suppressed.
Partisan and unsympathetic Democrats
turned him out of his seat on legal techni-
calities, but the Colonel has lost none of his
geniality and popularity. He was at the
depot when the train pulled in, and greeted
the Pittsburgers he knew with hearty
grasp of the hand.
"Great place we have here" said Andy
to a party Of friends. "Pienty of water
you know" he added, as he blinked his left
eyelid. "It is good to run our sawmills,
he continued, 'and we are happy. Wait
till you see the Cucumber Falls and the
Ohio Pyle cascade, take a walk down
Lovers Lane, visit the cliff and take a
drink from the iron spring. If you
won't agree with me that this is a great
eat nv hat" The Colonel talks with the
skill of irst-class advertising agent, and
he is justly proud of his family's prop
erty.
Ohio Pyle is essentially basket picnic
town. There are four hotels, and some are
anything but first-class The rates are gilt
edged in comparison with the service, if
yesterday is fair sample.
People With Baskets Were All Right.
The food was insufficient in quantity and
lacking in quality, though it might have
been better if properly cooked and served
by intelligent walters. But these hotels
have been recently opened, and better
things are promised in the future. Many
of the people took lunch baskets with them,
and they were fortunate. They enjoyed
their dinners in picnic fashion. The ladies
spread out the edibles in shady spot, or
down near the falls. The young
sters of the families had a CAV
time, and it IVES pleasure
to watch them climbing over the rocks and
wading in the shallow pools. The young
men with their maidens we're happy, Of
course, and contented with their surround
ings.
There is much to see in Ohio Pyle. and it
requires more than dav to cover all the
points of interest Those who wanted eXer-
else and were bent on exploring put in the
hours tramping through the mountains.
Nature must have had a grand old time
when Ohio Pyle was thrown up out of the
ancient waters. The elevations are wild
ami irregular, and the Youghiogheny wind
ing through the hills adds to the beauty of
the scene.
