OVERCROWDING NOT
RAILROADS FAULT

The trouble with the ovsrcrowdsd
through trains 20 and from Staunten
last week on the occasion OF the Will
son celebration. about which there was
some complaint. was due 10 the
idiosyncrasies OF the travelling public
rather than to any fault on the part
of the Chesapeake and Ohio man
agement,
1t seems that the Chesapeake and
Ohio had coach accommodations for
double the number of people actually
moved, but the people from nearby
points, such as Charlottesville and
GordonViIIe, would not travel on the
special trains arranged for them, but
insisted on crowding on the through
trains that were not prepared to take
care of extra travel.
Several of the special trains put ON
for the occasion entered and left
