two--Goes Out Of Way.

New York. Aug, l4.-That the Erie
railroad fully arranged for the safety OF
President Roosevelt on his way from
Chautauque to Jersey City on Saturday
is shown by the fact made known yes
terday that the presidents car did not
come in over the main line. Instead, the
Chautauqua special was broken in two
at Sufferin, y. Y. and the presidents
party was brought in by round about
way over two small branch roads.
President Roosevelt is said TO have
objected TO the unusual precautions
taken. but acquiescend when positive
orders from President Underwood OF the
Erie were shown him. These orders were
;ssued as a result of letter received
lby the Paterson police which said there
was a plot to blow up the presidents
train near Ridgwocd, \. ].
The Chautauqua special was stopped
at Sufferin early Saturday morning
There was a consultation over the tele-
phone followed by consultation of rail-
road men at which it was decided to
send the president to Sparkill, small
town on the Hudson, three miles below
Nyack, by a little single track road
known "a the Piermont branch and
thence into Jersey City on the Northern
railroad. branch having its terminal
at Nyack. President Roosevelt was
awakened and was told OF the change
: in the schedule. as the officials did not
like to take the responsibility without
his consent. The president after some
discussion said that he was in the
hands of the Erie and while he had nc
fear of his train being wrecked on the
main line, he would do what the railway
men thought best. Slow time was made
over the Piermont branch and the
Northern railway and extra men guard
ed every part Of both roads.
