From an investigation by the MORNING

that the railroads are selling through
| tickets to Brunswick. The roads bring
their passengers to the six mile crossing
and Sand Hill station, where they arc
stopped. The passengers then come into
Brunswick by private conveyances anc
on foot. But few women and children are
entering, but males are piling in.
