A LIVELY EXCURSION
PASSENGERS TELL OF BAR AND
LANES ON BOARD TRAIN.
c. r. DAILY. of the Lake Erie * West
ern, Says the Stories Related
Are Untrue.

Passengers on the Sunday LAX Erie &
Western excursion train TO Rochester re-
lated yesterday that they were treated to
a spectacular performance Of gambling
and drinking all the way to the town and
back. They said that gamblers had a char
tered baggage car, in which they conducted
a bar. with a sleek and polite negro in
white apron behind the counter in one end
of the car. and operated games in the other
end. The drinking and gambling. however,
according to the reports, were not con-
fined to this one car, but spread through
the entire train.
The excursion was principally for colored
people and John Banks was said to ave
been at the head of the 'refreshment" and
amusement features. He took no active
part in the affairs Of the baggage-car pas
sengers, except as q peacemaker when
trouble started over dissatisfied playing.
All sorts of gambling devices were in use,
it is said. Beer was delivered to consumers
in their seats. either in bottle or by the
drink. from a basket carried by an atten-
tive waiter. The gamblers. it is said. ap-
preached persons in their seats. whites and
blacks, men n women alike. and invited
investments IN "sure things" 1t is stated

learned as much as $35 worth in less time
than it takes to tell it. and that when one
fellow protested, Banks cOolly observed, as
he pushed one OF the negroes with an ouen
knife out of the car door, that there
would be no fighting on the train" The
language accompanying these affairs is
said to have been used without regard 10
women passengers.

ence that luck sometimes changes with the

twelve negroes and fifteen white men run
ming the games were corralled in the bag
gage car at each place and locked in until
the train pulled out of the station.
Charles +. DAILY, general passenger agent
of the Lake Erie and Western, said, last
night, that there was absolutely no truth
in the story, so far as he knew. He said no
one had a chartered car. that no bar or
gambling game vas run in such a baggage
car and that If there was gambling on the
train he did not know it. He was not a pas
senger but said if there had been liquor
sold on the train and gambling conducted
in the manner reported, the conductor
would have stopped the train and set off
the car at the first station. He said he had
not heard any complaint of the excursion.

scription table. the chairs, in fact, almost
everything about the store was daubed
with TAR; and the cats were sorry-looking

and their tails had been converted into rat

before the cats were ~presentable.
Next, the cats had an encounter with

Newport Note.
New York Commercial Advertise

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Gardeaias are by far the most popular
flowers for evening wear this summer. They
are extensively worn here by both men
and women. Orchids also are worn to some
extent. Pearls seem TO be the favorite
Jewels this summer, the pearl dog collars
being very popular. The society women
of Newport have not by any means gener-
ally adopted the ''chokerless' frocks. High
collars are still the prevailing style for
day wear and they are surely more stylish,
even il less comfortable, than the low col
lars so much worn in some places this
summer.
