« Leaving Cleveland by the midnight train, we reached Pittsburg on Monday morning at six o’clock, and were delighted to find awaiting us at the depot our good brothers, Messrs. Conley and Whiteside, who represent the work in Pittsburg and Alleghany. They kindly invited us to break-fast in the restaurant, and we chatted with them an hour, while waiting for our train to Altoona and Tyrone, where the convention was appointed. But as we stepped out of the door of the dining-room to look for our car, we found a notice posted up that there would be no train before evening, as the railroad was flooded, the track broken and communication destroyed between Pittsburg and Altoona. » — Magazine : The christian alliance and foreign missionary weekly, The pennsylvania conventions., June 8 1894, page 1 § 1.
