have not yet arrived. But it is otherwise
with an army of people who desire 10 see
the Golden State and have taken advan-
tage of the cheap rates. OF these there
are vast numbers. Some came from Ore
gon yesterday, some from the South and
great many from the East.
Two trains of three sections each, and
amounting to ffty-six cars in all, arrived
from Ogden alone. One arrived in the
morning and the other at night.
Master of Transportation Richardson of
the railroad gave the latest news regard
ing the incoming travellers. He said:
"Besides the Ogden train due here at s AS
o'clock this evening. another train OF
thirty -one cars, divided in three sections.
left Ogden about 6 o'clock this morning,
and is due here at 10:15 tomorrow morn
ing. This is train No. 4. The first section
lett at :55 A. NJ, and was then four hours
and ten minutes late. The train came
over the Union Pacific. 1t now looks as
if train on the Union Pacific from Ogden
would come i'll three sections. The trains
are late on both the Union Pacific and the
Rio Grande, but specially on the former"
Mr.. Richardson called attention TO
dispatch from E. L. Lomox at Omaha to
D. w. Hitchcock, general passenger agent
every Union Pacific train had gone to Og-
den on time. The dispatch also felicitated
Mr.. Hitchcock on their alleg ood luck.
1.-THE fact is that not one of their trains
has been on time" said MIR. Richardson,
''and this dispatch which has been pub
lished is an injustice 10 this road and a
covert reflection on 1t. 1t is way of i'm
plying that all delays should be credited
to the Southern Pacific. All Union Pa
clfc trains have, in fact. been from one to
five hours late at Ogden for come c,ion
with both of our trains for five or six days.
They have not been able 10 keep their
| regular trains on time.
Manager Fillmore also said: "They
have not had train on time. In every
single instance they have been from three
to five hours late"
1t has been decided not to run all-night
boats, as was fist intended, in order to
accommodate the incoming rhrongs. but
| to discontinue the ferry at the usual hour
each night. This was decided on because
it was not considered advisa BILE to land
throngs of strangers on the streets of the
| City in the early hours of the morning,
| when most people are wrapped in sleep.
| Especially was this deemed advisable in
| view of the fact that most of the people
| were going to SOP at private houses. 1t
was therefore concluded not to bring any
people to this side of the bay after the
| P. NJ, until probably o'clock.
1he Market-street Cable Railway will
! run cars commencing at O'Clock A. NJ on
| Monday and continue them through Tues
| day. Wednesday and Thursday.
| Trans arriving after midnight will be
| sidetracked at Sixteenth street or at the
| West Oakland yards till early morning.
| Most of the passengers will have sleepers.
| 1t is understood That 5000 people have en-
| gagged rooms in private houses.
I'VE have already brought from Ogden
since July l." said Mr.. Richardson, .1O8
car. by regular and speciai trains"
Twelve special trains are scheduled to
leave Ogden for this City to-day and
twenty-five tomorrow, while three or
four will come on Tuesday and as many
on Wednesday. At 2:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon General Passenger Agent Good
man said:
"Up to this time 217O passengers have
left Ogden for this City by our line since
July |. There will be more this after
noon."
All the railroad officials are very busy
anent the coming of the Christian En-
deavorers to this City, and they expect 10
be busy from now till the Endeavorers
get out of the State. How to handle the
guests in the easiest and most expeditions
way has been the great study Of the rail-
road people. They have no doubt about
doing it we'll.
"The first Endeavor train proper" said
Master of Transportation Richardson yes
terday, "will leave Ogden at ITO P. NJ
Sunday and will if on time, arrive here
on Monday evening. Ofcourse there may
be some delays, for you know it takes
long time to feed 200 or $50 people. the
number carried on each train.
Manager Fillmore added soma details,
besides new matter. Said he: About
seven or eight trains will come from Og-
den Sunday. They will get here Tuesday
at various times. 1t will be very heavy
Sunday night from there. We are going
to have q great many people. There will
be from IS to 60 trains of the Endeayorers.
All of the trains OF the visitors ougat to
be out of Ogden by Tuesday night and
hero by Thursday. This:s the biggest
travel sny road has ever had during any
convention. On other occasions the travel
has been divided. Many roads have got
it, but here, when the people get to Og-
den, the whole OF the travel comes to one
road.
"Now, SO far as handling the travel is
concerned, we will have tifty-six engines
at Ogden, and six at Carlin, 800 miles
away. We will work trains westward
from Ogden to Carlin, and thence TO
Wacsworth, 250 miles distant, thence to
Sacramento, distance OF 100 miles.
when we get to the summit of the
OieTTd6 10 Train Will iSdvS lii thc tTdlH
ahead Of 1t is out of Cascade, That is to
say, putting it another way, they are all
blocked one station apart"
Mr.. Fillmore will go to Wadsworth,
New, leaving here on Sunday night, and
will personally advise his subordinates
whore anything of an unexpected char
acter may develop.
General Passenger Agent Goodman said
yesterday that stopovers on the Endeav-
orer tickets would be allowed anywhere in
California and also in Oregon, but that
east of the California line the trip must
be con innous. He had notice printed
yesterday to this effect, whicn is now be-
ing circulated about this City. On Mon
day, as Mr.. Goodman said, the railway
will commence selling return tickets to
the Endeavorers.
The Pullman ticket office will be moved
on Monday from GLIB Market to 607 Market
street, the old quarters OF the Western
Unon Telegraph Company.
