$40 last night were brought over on a
special boat leaving the mole at 10 o clock.
This was the last crowd to reacn the City
last night. A special boat will be run at
5 O'Clock this morning, Just as on previous
mornings during the rush. but probably
only one special, the Tennessee and Ala
bama, will arrive in time TO connect with
it. A mum Der of excursions from the
Southern States and specials made up of
the stragglers OF previous excursions are
expected to arrive this morning.
Judging from dispatches from Sacra-
mento received last night a o'clock the
following specials, which are expected at
intervals between 6 A. NJ and P. NJ, Will
about close the Christian Endeavor rush ::
Minneapolis. Alabama and Illinois spe-
cial; Ohio special; Maryland special; ;
special A, Chicago and Denver; Overland
Mali, due here yesterday morning; New
York special; mixed special, including
one Philadelphia car; special with H. f.
Huntington's car, and two specials as vet
unidentified. With the exception of two
missing sections of train No. 4 of yester-
day ii is believed that all the Endeavorer.
bearing trains are accounted for.
Now that the rush is about over the rail-
road people at The mole are congra tulat-
ing the selves on the fact that they have
successfully handled the immense traffic
without a single accident in spite of the
pred cions OF Eastern roads that the
Southern Pacific would be swamped in the
attempt. All the local trains have been
run on time, and the ten or twelve miles
oil Pullmans lying in or near Oakland
have been so distributed as not TO inter.
tere with the move ment of trains.
Many pllmcnts are being sbowered
upon Chief Dispatcher Norton. his assist
ant, 6. d. Wright, and Train Dispatchers
