EXTRA TRAINS on THE PENNSYLVANIA

Crowds of sweet-faced girls, good look
ing matrons, some men and few boys
filed the Union depot last evening. They
were members of the Christian Endeavor
Society, bound for New York. A number
of outsiders took advantage of the low rate
to visit the metropolis, and they helped to
swell the ranks of the church people. 1t
wasn't hard to separate the sheep from the
goats, and the excursionists could easily be
picked out from the Christian workers.
1t was noticeable that the women predom-
mated in the throng, and they were led by
men wearing white neckties, who were evil
IDENTIFY preachers. The young fellows wore
badges on the lapels of their coats, stating
where they came from. Heads of families
were accompanied by their wives and flocks,
and some of the delegates from the Western
States carried baskets, from which napkins
and loaves of bread protruded. They started
from home well provided with food, and
had evidently replenished their stock on the
way.
Crowds From Ohio.
The Ohio delegation arrived in the city
last evening and had made arrangements to
spend the night here. They came in on
special trains on the Ft Wayne and Pan
handle roads. All the regular trains for
that matter were crowded. The Pittsburg
societies had promised to have reception
committees at the depots, but either
they were lost in the crowd or
they were not there. A number of the
Ohio people complained of having to invoke
the aid of policemen in finding their hotels.
About 100 delegates stopped at the St.
James, $50 put up at the Seventh Avenue
nd hal ha
night in the Bower. This morning the
Pennsylvania and Ohio delegations
will lead the attack on New
York The PENNSYLVANIA road
will have special trains for the Ohio and
State people. The trains were drawn up in
the depot last evening. The cars were lined
with streamers announcing the State and
name of the society. The Pennsylvania
officials expect to have from 700 to 1000
people out of Plttsburg for New York this
morning.
Delegates From the West.
The delegates from Tennessee passed
through the city last evening. The Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa and Minnesota delegations reached the
city after midnight on the through trains,
and proceeded to the metropolis The
people from the other Western States are
expected here this morning.
Receptions were held last evening at the
St. James, Boyer and Seventh Avenue
Hotels for the Ohio delegates 1t was an
odd sight to see lot of girls and women
standing around in the lobbies of the hotels
discussing the objects of the convention.
The drummers considered it strange spec
tacle, but they admired the ladies for in
sisting on their rights The mob at
the depot last evening was jammed
against the gates, but the people finally got
out without injury. A number of extra
cars were put on the first section of the
