MT. CLARE. April 1.-TWO hun
dred and fifty passengers were dis
charged from train No. 6 Saturday
evening. This breaks all previous
records, even during fair aud circus
times. AS the multitude surged about
the platform It more closely re-
sembled scene in the cities than

was composed OF returning shoppers
and visitors who came to spend

lie has been notorious, but on this
occasion it outdid all previous eff
forts in the way of inferior service.
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t was
Saturday, and the eve of a holiday,
which insured heavy traffic, the train
was made up of only two coaches,
which was not enough to accommo-
date those destined to this place.
The seats, aisles, platforms and
steps We're crowded. AT West Clarks-
burg about dozen persons, mostly
old men. were unable to fight their
way to the train and were left he
hind.
There were several DRINKS in the
crowd, whose foul language added to
the disgusting situation. Besides the
risk of death that was assumed by
the passengers, corns were tramped,
dresses torn. Easter bonnets
wrecked, and 1t is reported that two
or three por--as were robbed of
their pocket looks. Such experiences
as this is what makes everyone
thankful that the traction line will
soon be completed TO this place and
the long suffering public will re-
ceive the decent service 1t deserves.
