BRIDGE VAS NOT so BAD.
Looked Like Mass Meeting at This End
but More Trains Adjourned II.

The Brooklyn Bridge. after being threat
ened with n congestion that promised
complete blocking of Prooklyn bound traf-
Ac, extricated itself from its difficulties
late yesterday afternoon and handled
the rush hour crowds as though there were
no snowstorm Of any Importance From
A TO o'clock there were all sorts Of hurry
calls sent to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
people and the police that riot was threat
ened at the New York end.
The shuttle train system had been put
in operation at a little after o'clock and
was swarnped by the rush Of folks who
were trying to get home early. The num-
Der of trains was hurriedly increased until
at 5 clock the full rush hour complement
was running. The congestion then dis
appeared. Ateoolock things were running
as usual.
The situation began to get interesting
at about 4 o'clock. when all the Brooklyn
sleepers we're simultaneously hit by the
idea that the only way TO get 20 their beds
by O'Clock was 10 get over the Bridge
before dark The carrying capacity OF
the through Bridge trains was worked 70
the full at quarter past o 'clock At half
past all the through elevated trains were
cut of and only Bridge locals were run.
The entrances 10 the train platforms were
blocked by policemen at the bottom of
the stairways and only one trainload was
let up the stairs at q time. Several thousand
men and women stood and crowded one
another good naturedly at the foot Of tho
stairs and waited for their turn to go rp.
Every opening OF the gates 10 let Il sector
OF the mob through was the signal for loud
and boistero1s cheering by everybody
In the crowd. As the crowd grew larger
a number Of cheerful individuals intro
duced song into the entertainment Severe
"a the crowding was, nobody seemed TO
get very angry about 1t.
Word came over the Bridge that Park
avenue surface cars had been blocked at
Tompkins avenue at o'clock II was stated
officially that all the other surface cars were
running regularly The crowds on the
Bridge plaza couldn't understand 1t quite
that way. Cars came through the loops
about once in ten minutes and were packed
like sardine cans as soon az they left the
Bridge roadway. The DeKAlb avenue
cars ran with some sort of regularity. A
great many people got tired Of waiting
for Bridge elevated and surface cars and
walked over the Bridge. They Jared better
than might be ina gined, for the wind was
at their backs and helped them along.

that il would be difficult to house the i'm

they certainly would not be kept all night

them back.
Ten of the immigrants who reached the

COLONIAL EMPRESS SAUNTERS.
Navigating Train Got Started South at
Last After Many Troubles.

The New Haven Railroad transport
Maryland with the Colonial Express aboard
reached Jersey City at SIS o'clock last
night. being due at 1855. The train was
late In reaching Mott Haven and the trans
port had hard lines getting down the East
River and around the Battery She set
out in the teeth Of a bowling gale and a
binding snowstorm. The skipper had to
grope his way through He'll Gate. He
ran under one-third steam and stopped
several times to avoid collision with stray
craft From the southern end Of Black
wells Island TO the Battery the Maryland
scarcely more than drifted, taking no
chances OF hitting things
When the boat finally reached the slip
at the northern end Of the Pennsylvania
station she could not dock because the
transport Express with five freight cars
aboard was stuck fast in the slip.
The Maryland had 10 tie up to the bulk
head OF the Adams Express dock and
wait there until after o'clock when the
Express managed TO get out. The passen-
gers on the Colonial Express were greatly
relieved when the train rolled out into
the yards and was switched on TO the main
tracks. The train had hard time getting
through the yards on account Of the frozen
switches and was finally stalled on tho
Hackensack meadows along with a lot
Of other trains. She finally got away and
sped on 10 Washington.
