Serb-Comic Aspct of Elevated Railroad Travelling on the East Side.

CROWDED TRAINS AND IRATE PASSENGERS. Merchants and Clerks Fighting Their Way to Hot Dinners. ho establishment of tho elevated railways lias Riven rise to mchi ot a novel and striking that would make oven Bip Van Winkle himself open very ide his sleepy eyes at thechanges thut have coino over this etty. When tho W. urged the hnilding of these roads luauy people deidared they would never pay and thut people would never ride upon them.

Now. when they have been lining only a few months. It is already found that they are inadequate to meet the requirements of publie travel. Mr. Cyrus W.

Field tedls a good story Of some iuveutor who came to his office aud offered some splendid discovery of his by means of which the traffic on the Third avenue elevated road might be enlarged. "Oh, don't, for Uod's sake!" Mr. Field replied. "We don't want to make it any bigger. Tell lis something that will make it smaller until wo have onginos and cars enough to accommodate the public and we'll be glad to take it." Since the opening of tho road to Eighty-ninth street the traffic on this line has increased over ten thousand a day, aud this week it has been as followsOu Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, (15.4*1) and ou Thursday, 04.879.

The remarkable scenes of overcrowding alluded to above, aud which appear to be incidental to tho Jlrst, sudden, popular suceoss of rapid trausit? a success far eclipsiug the wildest dreams of the place between five aud seven o'clock iu the evening, when tivo-ceut fares prevail, and during these hours those who have never witnessed them uinl want to enjoy some exciting luu should certainly visit the downtown stations of the east side road. If Frith were to take his position any evening at half-past live or six o'clock at the Fulton street depot he would certainly obtain moro excinug material for vivid scenes at a railway station than England could furnish him for another painting. THE RUSH AT FLI.TON STREET. The Fulton Street station is now undergoing soujo changes which will afford the public material relief and prevent the terrible "Jams" on the stairR. Hitherto there has been only one narrow stairway from the flrst landing up to the platform.

A crowded train arriving from up town the passengers all rush down the least they would rush down wero they not wedged iu between the serried masses of passengers, many of them with bundles under their arms, who are in vain trying, at the same time, to tight their way up to catch the train. Nobody who has not personally experienced it can have an idea of the scenes of pushing and Jostling that take place upon this siairway almost every evening. But let the figures tell their own at least, cannot bo charged with being sensational. Accord-' nig to the statement of the ticket agent about i'. loo or tickets arc sold ou an average at Fulton street per day, and of this number from y.ion to 11,501) ure sold lictweeii live and seven M.

In other words, while during seventeen hours of the (lay the number of tickets sola per hour is only little over two huudred. it is about one thousand two hundred during these two "rush" hours. The ticket agents' arms fairly ache from the irantic manner in which they have to throw tho live cent tickets through their little windows. And still the people come? black masses of hurrying, bustling num. skurrying home from business, witli a stray woman or child iu their midst, whose courage in venturing into such a dense, struggling multitude must be admired Before proceeding any lurther it is only just to say that uiuen of tills overcrowding ou the stairs will bo remedied by next week.

A new stairway has been put in and the passage to tho stairs will bo divided so that separate egress aud ingress will 1 provided lor passengers coming from down or going trams. WAITING FOR A TRAIN. But after the hungry business man, anxious for his dinner, has pushed through all tho obstructing arms and elbows and safely climbed up to the platform the severest trial of all awaits him. To catch a the point. It is au undertaking which to him who 1ms not tried it during these hours' seems easy enough.

Well, here conies a train. The platform? long, narrow and placed between the two crowded with trom two to three hundred people, l'erbaps, aud it occurs alinoat every night there are even trom four to live hundred upon' it' straggling along nil the way from one end of the platiorm to the other. The nrst question uppermost in everybody's mind is. Where precisely will the train stop Where shall I siaud to be nearest one of the platform gates Everybody understands that if lie is not quite close by tne gates the c.irs will be rapidly iiiied up before be gets a chance to enter and off goes tho train, ho there is much p'ushlng and Jostling and elbowing ami struggling and even lighting for the best the places near. st the (slge of piui! lorni, where the opportunities lor tumbling down upon the track are excellent, hut an- coolly di? regarded by the passengers hose motto seems to tie, "Bet us get home at all hazards." Well the train comes snorting along.

There i- a groan of' (lisaplMiiuim.nl as the call out, "Xot above forty-second street. Train tor the Central Depot!" or course the vast majority want to go above Forty-second street anil must wait for the next train. however, know trom past exper.emo that they will tiud it impossible get ou through train, und so they prefer to take their chances of getting a through train at Thirty-fourth street and paying another tare. This done by great mauy every uiglu and with success. By the time the next through train wi.l have reached Thirty-fourth street I they calculate, many passengers will "have alighted' I una perhaps there hi be a chance to get on there' The writer has tried the exiierimunt with many I others, hut sometimes he has found even this expedient fail, tor three aud four through trams have passed by Thirty-fourth street (which Is tin; last stop of Orauil Central trains on Third avenue) without taking any passengers.

A THItOKIH TRAIN OOMKS. But to return to ulton street. 'The Central train bus left with full load of passengers and anxious eyes are turned toward the distant point of lie up track curving into Fulton street. Hoiuctihies a mishap occurs, and pie have even waited ttvu ami ten minutes for the next during these hours the delays occasioned by the tr (nendous or passengers uuil the inadequate terminal fa -tlitic at Ho uh ferry are very greai. But a- i rule th.

Fulton struct ia only a sample of the others. At the South ferry ami at Hanover square it is just the same.

The other evening a gentleman of delicate physique who generally takes the road before live I'. M. arrived a few later. Ho had little Idea of the novel before him. He went to Fulton street station.

The crowd was so great that he could not get up the stairs. He turned back, saying to himself walk down to Hanover square; it will ho better there." There he waited twenty minutes and, still uuable to get on train, he thought he would uiuko the thing sure and took the cars down to the Battery, in the hope of being thus sure of getting a comfortable Boat.

THE FLOWER MISSION. DECORATION OF THE CHARITY HOSPITALS FOR THE CHRISTMAS EVERGREEN ORNAMENTS. llie rooms of tlio Flower Mission were found in a sort of sylvan confusion by a Herald reporter who visited them yesterday afternoon. All the available tables and benches were heaped with ropes and garlands of evergreens. Here uud there were piles of crosses, anchors, wreaths and other designs worked 111 ivy and hemlock, and variegated with all sorts of autumn leaves and crimson berries.

Two or three barrels of raw material stood lu a corner and the floor was littered with withered leaves, broken twigs aud other clippings that fell rapidly before the iudusti ious scissors of some dozen ladies who were enthroned amid the debris. The ladies of this mission have undertaken to decorate the charity wards of the city hospitals for the Christmas season, and the masses of beautiful foliage that fllled their premises yesterday wero tho contributions seut in by many friends to help them in this work. Thore wore all sorts of evergreens, ferns, fir and pine cones, and variegated leaves such as are used for decorative purposes. The ladies were working hard, combining theni into scarfs and ropes for festooning the walls aud entwining tlio pillars of the various resting places of the sick for which they were designed. The purpose of the reporter's mission was to see tho beautiful results of their handiwork, and to hear what they might have to say concerning their now enterprise.

THE SUCCESS OF THK ENTEItPWHK. is only purt of what our friends have sent us," said a lady who seemed to be the presiding genius of the scene, and to whom the reporter aildressed himself for information. "We have already s. ut a quantity of decorations to the harity Hospital on Hlackwcll's Island, uud to Bellevuo, aud the German, l'resby tenaii ami St. Luke's hospitals up town.

We are now preparing for the institutions on Ward's and Randall's islands, to which wo will solid to-morrow." "Has it been a custom of the mission to decorate the hospitals at Christmas asked the reporter. "Oil, 110; this is the first time. Wo thought it would be for the poor sick people if we could surround them with something bright and fresh during tho holiday season. I wrote to everyone that was in the habit of helping us in the summer, when we scud flowers and fruit to the sick I am the secretary of the mission. I asked them to send us such evergreens and loaves as would he suitable lor decorative purposes." "Who are the managers of the mission "We never give names for publication.

Yon know we never ask tor money, only for fruit and flowers. The ladies represent, however, almost every denomination, and I may add we send to all religious alike. The mission is purely non-sectariau. We always care llrst tor the institutions under the coutrol of tho Commissioners of Charities aud Correction, aud when they are supplied we send to the charity wards of private institutions us fur us our resources extend." specimens of Workmanship. "Some have scut us beautiful ornaments, ready made up," coutiuued the lady, as she conducted the reporter into an inner sanctum.

"Here is a very nice idea, of which the children on Randall's Isluud will have tho benefit, l'aich of these bunches of leaves is. you see, attached to au envelope containing a pretty Christmas card. Tho words, Christinas greeting to yon' are written on tho outside, and one will placed by the nurses on the pillow of each little one the night before Christinas. A whole box full of these was sent to us." Other treasures were then exhibited. There were several mottoes worked iu white letters on scarlet cloth, and bordered with green leaves.

One reading "Feed My Lambs" is designed for the children on Randall's Island. Karh hospital lias been furnished with at least one. Anchors made of Prince's pine were seut in considerable numbers; one cross of ivy anil hemlock leaves was uncommonly pretty, ami several boxes of bouquets were among the contributions, llrlght color was supplied by autuinu leaves, bittersweet and bows of scarlet cloth; while some familiar colored chromes, representing scones of home life, and framed with leaves aud wicker work, promised to look bright and cheery, even 011 the walls of a hospital ward. Tho objects mentioned by no means include aii that were sent to the mission, and great quantities of evergreen rojies, garlands uud designs, and numbers of pretty toys Vabt'icated from straw and chip remain uudescribcd. The ladies of the mission will continue their labors to-day at their rooms.

AN APPEAL BT HT. JOHN'S UCILD C'AbEH WHERE IMMEDIATE HELP 18 NEEDED. It is a sure indication that cold weather lias begun to pinch thy unemployed classes and the sick and infirm poor when the uUlcers ot the charitable societies are doily visited by numbers of men and woiueu seeking help, paring the past week this lias been so, but as yet the relief afforded is not quite sufficient, for tho reason that the societies which are in the liabit of dispensing alms have not fully entered upon their work for tho winter mouths. December has been thus far a kindly mouth for the poor, and the cries of distress which are usually to be heard when the biting cold of the season sets in have not us yet been painfully clamorous. Nevertheless Superintendent lilukc, of the Department of Charities and Correction, is daily Intsieged with applicants from all parts of the city for the usual supply of coal which the city annually furnishes.

No appropriations havo yet beeu made for this eharity ami applicants are turned away with instructions to call aguin. REQUIRED. St. Joliu's Guild has so for received no contributions for this season, but lius many applicants daily. The Guild proposes to direct its energies this year niaiuly to procuring work for the unemployed.

ItH managers have just issued tho following St. (inilit Has determined to devote its efforts this winter to offering work to those who apply for relief, except in cases of sickness or other inffriuftiua. Work iswl'iit every worthy mini mill woman desires. No nhlohodlid person would ruther live ill idleness upon the gills of charity lie or slio lots already boon domnrnilr.ed hy such clfls. That wo have among us large class of confirmed who would much prefer to beg than work cannot be denied, hut tliure are also in this city great iiiinrher of holiest, industrious men and woinou who cannot tlud employment, no matter Imw much I hoy may seek it," and who would rather starve than lieg.

To such St John's Guild desires to extend a helping hand anil to furnish them willt that employment which shall enable them to support themselves ami those depending upon tliein In order to accomplish tills a sowing room has Imen opened and a largo number of sewing machines secured. An of work has been promised by uiuniifncturors. A committee of Indies has vol nil leered to take general supervision of the work; lint funds urn required to nay an experienced forewoman and to provide material which will enable the ladies to offet work to beginners and tho so who are not skilled opcrntuis while they are leuming to operate. Garments tints made will he distributed to those who are ftmuil destitute of clothing by the volunteers. As soon as this department is well under way it is proposed to furnish work for ablebodied men.

In addition to those whoaro able to work there are others who are utterly helpless to support themselves. For families whom want of work and sickness, following despair, havo left tho haggard occupants of empty anil tireless rooms, from which ornaments, furniture, clothing, in fact everything has been sold to buy medicine and food: fur those who are sick and homeless, as well us hungry; for those who are brought face to face with every species of suffering short of death itself, St. John's Guild appoals for money, food, clothing or anything that will alleviate their terrible sufferings. All contributions of money should be sent to William II. Guiou, treasurer.

The futher was an officer in the army during the war and has good references from subsequent employers. They get no assistance from any charitable society, ami are, now much in need of the necessaries of life.

Tho man, who has beeu for five years jrnst afflicted witli sickness, desires some suitable employment in order to live. The attention of the charitable is also called to tbo ease of a deserving widow lady in poor health, a resident of Brooklyn and formerly of this city, who, on account of long and painful illness and inutility to get anything to do, stands in very great need of present help for herself and boy. In return for any assistance rendered her she will scud to those requiring it articles of her own design and make in fine crochet sacks, fascinators, or other light needlework. At present she is unable to do heavy machine sewing. She offers unexceptionable references.

Any communication addressed to Mrs. G. Tompkins, care of the Herald office, will reach her. FOR THE POOR. At the suggestion of Mayor Ely, a meeting of a number of gentlemen representing various charitable institutions in the city was held in the Mayor's office yesturday for the purpose of taking some action to relieve the poor during the holiday season.

Among those present were John M. Goldberg, of tbo New York Employment and Belief Association; James dwell, of the ltomau Catholic orphan Asylum; Charles A. Bunting, of the New York Christian Home for Intemperate Men; Itev. Dr. Peters, of the Sheltering Arms and Children's Fold; George C.

Booth, of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, and Itev. C. T. Woodruff, of M. Barnabas Home.

Mr. Haumels suggested the practicability of collecting clothing for tlio pooT, but Mayor Ely expressed himself as entirely opposed to tho idea unless every charitable institution took part in it. Another meeting will be held on Thursday next, when the proposition will be made to permit orphan hoys to go around with wagons for the purpose of soliciting donations ot clothing. UNPAID LABORERS. DELAY IN AUDITING THE ACCOUNTS OF THE PA11K MEN DISCOURAGED.

Through a technicality iu the auditing of by the Department of Parka the poor laborers employed on the lltverside Park have been deprived of their wagca for nearly three months. During that protracted period strenuous efforts have been male by Messrs. Wenman and Conover to have this deadlock removed. Their action, however, was not sue ceaaful, although earnestly pressed. The laborers, finding no relief at the approach of the Christmas holidays, sent a deputation to the Department to represent their grievances.

Mr. Wenman received them courteously, aud after patiently listening to their appeal siid that he had foreseen the present difllculty ami had used his official iutlue.nco to have it averted, but his opinions and exertions were overruled; that exception, be said, had been taken by the treasurer of the Board to tiie manner in which the work had been performed, and on that account commission of three practical engineers had been by the Park Department, one by the Comptroller and the third the determine the truth or falsity of these allegations, with instructions that these experts should report back to the Board at the earliest possible moment. Since the appointment of that commission a short time ago there had not Is en an opportunity to have the question under discussion determined. AN INJUSTICE TO THE MEN. It WW, however, Mr.

Wenman represented, an injustice to the hard working men, at this holiday season, that they should be tnade the innocent sufferers, and he was willing to shoulder liis part of the responsibility to sudit a certain amount of the bills upon the work ually performed, so that the should receive their long delayed remuneration. He further stated thut while the work was not complete, a fart which tlie contractors did uot attempt to controvert, that in itself should not be made an excuse to withhold partial sotllcui' ut of the accounts so as to uiiulde tlie contractors to discharge their liabilities to their men. Mr. Conover concurred in this view of the case, and also expressed his willingness to comply with any reasonul'lu demand to relieve the present necessities of the laborers, but when the subject was presented in this light to Treasurer Lane he recorded his emphatic protest to the proposition, and hence the memorialot the delegation was rejected. Finding thut his efforts In settling Hie difficulty wore of no avail.

President Wenman waited upon the Maydr and Comptroller, and used similar arguments to those already related, but with what success him not keen ascertained. THE STEWART CHARITIES.

In the course of his address he referred to the strong, sturdy sense of the soldier.
