BIZ speciaI CONSEQUENTIAL.

oN eRSANNN wv
TOTTENVILLE, Sept 26-Passen-
gers on the Staten Island Rapid
Transit railroad were given another
sample of the service on the Totem
vile division yesterday afternoon
when it took a train one hour and
t~hirty-fve minutes to come from St.
George to Tottenville. This happen
ed when train Is leaving st. George
at 1929 yesterday afternoon arrived
in T~ottenville at 1904 O'Clock. The
cause of the delay was the breaking
of an eccentric strap on engine %
pulling a train of three cars going
past the Bay Terrace station.
Engineer Eckelberger with his
fireman made temporary repairs by
tying up the broken parts and after
a delay of nearly a half hour the en-
CINE came limping up to each station
on it's way to T~ottenville. Arriving
at Tottenville the crippled engine was
abandoned and another engine which
was dispatched from the shops at
Clifton used. This engine arrived
after the 3:14 train and pulled the
train back to ST. George again. BY
the time the engine was turned
around and took water it was 1898
when the 3:15 train left the local de-
pot. The other engines used on the
division are said to be in the same
condition as this one and are liable
to lay down at any time. This is the
same in the finding of the Public
Service Commissions as made known
in their report as given yesterday fol-
lowing the Investigation of h con-
ditions along the Tottenvine division.
