La Trobe, Pa, Oct. 80. Following a
fight this evening in a street car, grow
ing out of an Italians insistence upon
opening window, Floyd Anthony, the
conductor, is dying and a party are

New York, Oct O-Slghtseers crowd
ed the subway this afternoon They
came from Fifth avenue and the east
side, from Brooklyn and Jersey City,
and all the nearby cities, town and viii
lagos and many Of the railroads
brought trsinloads OF excursionists
/ from distant places. 1t is estimated
that 10000 people rode in the under
ground trains between 2 and o'clock
Of which number fully one-fourth We're
children
The plans of the management were
soon disarranged when the afternoon
rush began. Heretofore the two down
town stations at city hall ana Brook
lyn bridge have been the points at
which the rush has occurred, but to-
| day every station ON the line had its
share Of the business and none of the
Sunday passengers left the cars till the
end of the road was reached. AS a re-
suit the train schedule was disregard
ed and locals and expresses filled to
capacity, skipped stations all the af-
ternoon The crowds at the stations
waited patiently, however, and gave
the police and station men little
trouble.
Manager Hedley, with Superintendent
Merritt, remained in personal charge Of
the service all day and the dispatch
ers and starters worked incessantly to
prevent blockades. The running time
was slow, few of the locals making
better than fifty minutes on the trip
from the city hall station to Harlem
while the schedule is thirty-seven min
ues; but most of the delay was caused
by waits at the stations where excep-
tional care was taken to prevent seri-
Gus crowding.
The jam at the One Hundred and
Forty fifth street terminal grew to al
most unnaanageable proportions at $50
O'Clock, when the tickets gave out there,
"A hurry call was sent out for fresh
supply Of tickets, but 1t was a full hair
hour before they arrived, and In the
meantime the holiday excursionists had
been gathering at the station in great
numbers. Police reserves were sent for
and lined up all hands, six abreast.
When they had finished this task the
procession was three blocks long. The
police estimated that at least 5000 per-
sons were gathered at the terminal
when at last the new tickets arrived.
