Flomaton on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad kept the officials at the sta tfon busy answering questions. Meals fer Immirrants
 Among the several hundred people at the station were many immigrants bound for points in the West many of whom were not prepared for such an emergency as the one with which they were confronted and but for the assistance of the officials oftthe Lou isville and Nashville Company there would have been suffering. Many of the women and children were without meaRs to buy even a meal. When the l desperate straits Of some of the strand 1 ed passengers became known to the l local officials yesterday morning, steps were taken at once to relieve the dis- | tress. C. l.. Wolff. Travelling Passen- l ger Agent of the company, and F. E. McAllister. chief clerk in the office of l Superintendent Mckinney, secured a l large number of meal tickets for the lunch counter and the dining room at | the station. and proceeded to give them | to. the people who needed them. It ] was estimated that at least 200 persons were fed at the station yesterday by | the Louisville and Nashville Company. 1 The General superintendent of the l Crescent News Company of New Or l leans. who was in Montgomery en route | to New Orleans, and L A. Swigert, manager of the dining room at the Union Railway Station, rendered every assistance possible in the emersency. Many of the stranded passengers were | foreigners and could not speak Eng | lish.
 | Good Humor Prevailed.
 1 Notwithstanding the uneasiness and I the suspense felt by the travellers as to I conditions at their homes in Mobile
 and New Orleans. and other points
 known to be affected, general good 'hu- nor prevailed. A number of women in l the ladies waiting room talked freely
 of the situation to an Advertiser repre- l sentative yesterday afternoon, and spoke in highest praise of the courtesies which had been extended them by off,
 cials of the Louisville and Nashville
 Railhoad Company Several in the
 party were among those who had gone
 as Tar as Flomaton Wednesday night | and were returned to Montgomery l Thursday morning. They did not know lat that time when they would get. out
 of Montgomery. but they said that even 1 though it was bad, that 1t could have l been worse, for, as long as they were
 compelled to stay in Montgomery, they
 had been assured by the officials that
 they were the guests of the Louisville | nnd Nashville Railroad"
 Some discontent prevailed among a
 few of the people because they were not
 sent over some other route to their | destination. Officials explained that | this was >not practicable, as 1t was not
 known how far a train would go on either the Southern Railway out of Sel-
 ma, or on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
 out of Meridian. As soon as the road was open on the South and North Di- vision, arrangements were made to send
 the delayed passengers to their desti-
 nations by way of BIrming gham.
 The first train from the North that
 reached the union station since early
 Friday morning was No. II, local pas 1 senger train made up at Calera, which came to Montgomery at 10 o'clock yes- I terday morning.
 Two sections of train No came into | the station from Birmingham last
 night The first one was train No. 1 of | Friday, which was tied up behind a
 washout on the South and North Di- ivsion near Calera, and the second was
 the regular. train of yesterday due at i 7:25 o'clock Both of these trains were l several hours late.
 It Is expected that in very few days | the usual trains will be run and that
 traffic will have resumed it's normal con- dition.
