Crowds Departing.

Two days of sultrfness have doubled
the railroad business out of the city.
The rush came yesterday. when the
clerks and ticket agents in all or the
Offices had more than they could DO TO
pass out the transportation. The Bal
timore and Ohio. the Pennsylvania. the
Southern. and the Chesapeake and Ohio
had the bulk OF the trade. Over the two
first mentioned the call was for tickets

OF the Carolinas were the attractions IN
the south over the Southern. The Ches-
apeake and Ohio is probably bringing
more people from the central West to
the Eastern resorts than any of the
others. Extra trains are in service and
they can hardly handle the crowds.
