VISITORS FAST ARRIVING
FROM RIVER COUNTIES
Steamers Bring Large Crowds
From Virginia and Maryland
to See Inauguration.

The coming into the city Of the van
guard Of the Inauguration visitors from
the river counties of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, with a large throng from eastern
North Carolina and southern Virginia, on
the steamers arriving here late last night
and this morning made the river front
unusually animated this morning, though
the bulk OF the throng that will come
here by steamer is not due to arrive until
tomorrow morning. From King George,
Westmoreland and the upper part Of
Northumberland counties in Virginia and
from ST Marys county. Nd, came several
hundred persons on the steamer Capital
City, which arrived last night
As soon as she discharged her passen-
gers and freight she left again to go di-
rect to Nomini. Va. and left there at }
am. today to stop at all river landings
for passengers only, and she Will have her
full complement when she reaches here
tomorrow morning.
The steamer Three Rivers brought a
full load of passengers from ST Marys
county. Nd. and from Lancaster. North
cumberland and Westmoreland counties,
Va, and landed them at this city
early this morning. The steamer Of the
Norfolk line which arrived this morning
had all her accommodations taken, and
the same conditions viii prevail on the
TWO steamers tndL Will arrive mere III
the morning with passengers from Nor
folk and vicinity. No freight Is being
handled by the steamers on these trips
and none will be taken until Wednesday.
Business Heaviest in Years.
The managers Of the steamer lines re-
port the business for this Inauguration to
be the heaviest in recent years. On the
river boats 1t may have been surpassed
by the first Cleveland inauguration, but
there are no records available to tell the
number of persons brought here by
steamer at that time.
1t is stated that most Of the visitors
now arriving have arranged to remain In
the city until the latter part Of the week.
and many residents of the city were at
the wharf this morning to meet the in
Corners.
Usually at Inauguration times there is
some effort made to decorate along the
river front, but this year there is an al
most total absence of decorations Of any
kind, except at some of the steamboat
headquarters.
The steamer running on the ferry route
between this city and Alexandria Is re-
ported to be doing fairly good business
Tomorrow there will be two steamers on
ferry routes to Alexandria, and they are
expected to carry large throngs all day.
