Swindle at Castle Garden Triggers Immigrant Riot
Immigrants wrongly debited at Castle Garden for substituted tickets sparking an effort to reclaim their passengers from the contracted railroad. The riot was quelled by the immigrant commissioner after four-fifths of the group had been separated, with pool tickets replacing originals. The piece cites 1887 railroad data: total U.S. track at about 149,912 miles, western states dominant, New England minimal, and dividends varying by region.
