The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-08-19

The railroad company's tracks suf-
fered more from the effects of the rain
between Nicholson and Foster than
was noticeable down towards the tun-
mel. The west-bound track along that
point for nearly two miles was washed
out, and the best efforts of Division
superintendent Rine and Superin-
tendent Of Construction Hixson were
directed there yesterday in placing 1t
in repair.
The east-bound track also suffered
from the flood at that point, but the
road bed was sufficiently repaired by
the afternoon to permit of the running
of trains over II slowly. All the pas
senger and freight trains going east
and west yesterday were delayed on
account of the washout, but the tracks
will be in shape today for regular
traffic.
HOTELS WERE CROWDED.
The passengers on train No. g. which
was stalled at Nicholson station Sat
urday night, invaded the two hotels
in the town and cleaned them out of
edibles. The night accommodations
were overtaxed, and many remained
in the cars and at the depot in conse-
quence. Those who retired were
aroused at 4 o'clock yesterday morning
to resume their Journey.
Nearly one hundred persons were ac-
commodated at the Niver house, every
room in the building being occupied.
Fortunately the proprietor was en-
abled to obtain an extra supply of
food and under the circumstances was
in shape TO meet the demands of his
unexpected visitors Among them were
