ment of all time tables. Trains were
sent out when crews could be secured

which were sent out when cor
porars guard could be mustered to
man them. The Lackawanna suspend
ed all local traffic and was at a

tain anything like normal service and
they were badly handicapped.

msnded that the fireman leave the
cab. when he refused, according to
report to Mantell, tho crowd at
tempted to take him off. The engi-
neer and fireman beat them of with
shovels and started the train. Part
OF the mail was left behind.
Mantell also received a report that
three mail trains had been abandoned
at Port Jervis, a divisional point.
The congestion in New York be-
came terrific as the day advanced,
and thousands OF persons were left
milling around. unable to get to their
destinations.
In the Pennsylvania station more
than 1000 persons were on hand
when timo approached for the de-
