ROUGH WORK AT M4RDT GR4S.
Toughs Make Most Of Opportunity and DO
q LO Of Harm.

An enormous crowd turned out at Coney
Island last night for the next to last night
Of the Mardi Gras. The police said that
there were nearly 600 900 persons On the
island at 0 o'clock. A drizzle set in about
$50 O'Clock and in a short time the rain
came down in big, wholesome drops.
A rush to shelter set in. There we're not
near enough places TO protect the crowd.
Many persons made for the waiting trains
and the cars were packed 10 ~suffocation. A
lot Of persons we're knocked down and
trampled in the crush. and women tainted
so often that it was impossible to get doc
tors enough to revive them, although there
we're lots Of doctors in the crowd.
The business men Of Coney Island have
come TO the conclusion chat the Mardi 0ras
ia not worth the trouble, and there il already
talk Of putting a stop to 1t in the future. A
crowd Of thugs and roughs a W swOoped
down on the island each night and taken
advantage OF the recklessness OF the COCA
sion TO rough their way through the throng.
Many have been injured IA a result.
Last night these ~pluguglies hit upon
several schemes TO cause injury. Nearly
everybody at the Mardi 0ras carries a little
feather duster, or -tickler." When tiolhed
with these the first instinct Is TO grab for
the tiokler. The toughs tied sharp nails
and pins TO their busters last night and
many hands were badly laoerated as a
result. The doctors at the Reception
Hospital treated about fifty persons POUNDS
received in this way. There IL no telling
how many went TO their homes TO be treated.
Another plan hat the rowdies hit upon
last night was mixing cayenne pepper in
confetti before hurting It over the heads and
in the faces Of the throng. Some folks were
almost blinded.
The police. although Commissioner Bing-
ham sent over 100 extra men to the island
|. especially for the occasion, have been utterly
incapable Of handling the crowds, or rather
the rough and crooked element. Folks have
been robbed in great numbers and many
have gone to the police to complain, but
many more have not reported their losses.
P~ickpockets have reaped a rich harvest
on crowded trains and trolley cars.

TRAINS TWO HOURS LATE.
TIeuD In n. Y. Central Cut at Mott Haven
Sets Passengers Track walking.

Passenger traffic on the New York Central
Railroad was tied up from $40 to $40 O'Clock
last evening on all four tracks. A switch
engine left the track at l4Sd street and
turned over on It's side, blocking all four
tracks. The outbound trafic was at it's
height when the accident occurred, and the
expresses and local trains loaded with
suburbanites piled up for several blocks
south.
The passengers waited good naturally
for a time, then they became impatient, and
piling out took the trolley cars and ele-
waited trains home. Things were OOmpli-
Gated for the passengers leaving the cars
through the presence, near l4Sd street, Of a
live third rail which Ia being used in testing
the new electric trains.
The ~northbOund express and the south
bound local tracks were cleared after an
hour Of hustling by the wrecking crews. IL
was almost midnight before the other tracks
were clear and the trains were running
on a regular schedule again.
The wreck obstructed the approach to
the Mott Haven yards In such a way that
the railroad people weren't able TO make up
their trains, and thisc caused AZ much trouble
al the actual blocking Of the tracks.
All the outgoing through trains due to
leave in the evening pulled out anywhere
from one TO three hours late. The Western
Express. due to leave at Q o'clock. started
out at sl7. The Montreal Express. due
to leave at 7 O'Clock, was W hours late.
The Adirondack Express, scheduled TO
leave at 7SO o'clock, pulled out at 0;S5;
and the Buffalo Special was one hOu and
forty-hve minutes behind time.
The accident was caused, il was said, by
a defective frog. The big driving wheels
of the engine sank down between the ties
in such a way hat the engine tipped before
she had gone far. The engineer and fireman
both escaped without injury.

Nearing the City.

Margaret Ridley Scott IN the March
Century.
The quiet hills stretched far behind.
The swift train cut the broad green
plain,
Like some mad stream of impulse blind
That rushes headlong toward the
mail.
The peace of apple trees in bloom
No longer wooed the soul to dream,
While songs of hillside brooks made
room
For harsher sounds of brass and
steam
The keen, electric thrill of life
Rose vibrate through the sunless air,
Already traftic's noisy strife
Foreboded the unrest of care.
Not ev' n the memory of the thrush,
Outponring lyrics Ger the fold,
Could drown the cries OF still the rush
OF those who gave the souls for
gold.
Yet in this net of complex wavs,
Where time is all too brief for
dreams,
With heart sti II stirred perchance by
days
Passed long ago near widowed
streams,
The child named Thought-who hither
came
From guardian hill. from grading
mead.
Who learned through God or lure of
fame
The master life-became a Deed.
