ground floor OF the building, n second
flooring had been laid. and the space be-

started East. running at the rate of
forty miles an hour. Considering that
they were ignorant of the roads time

grand army was not quite as successful
with Its railroad experience as its
comrades In Montana. More than a
hundred OF them gathered at the Penn

yard at West End early yesterday morn

that was to start south at o'clock.
The chief gateman shrewdly tele-
graphed to the Jersey City police TO be

bushel Of sand can be kept just outside
