Pasar Minggu= According to google translate as proper Indonesian  , Passar Mingo appears to be a Dutch corruption of [Sunday Market] Pasar Minggu.

The puzzle is Charles Drysdales involvment with GS Vriburg. 

Van Berkenstein found the information provided by his new acquaintance
very interesting and promised to make great use of it at Buitenzorg. Hitherto, however, his attention had been fascinated by the scenes outside, which seemed to fly by. Now, however, he took a look at his immediate surroundings. He and Von Baldowitz had taken their seats in a first class carriage. From the Noordwijk stop to the Koningsplein stop, the two of them had been alone. At the latter stop four gentlemen and a lady with two children had boarded. The latter had taken a seat in one of the corners, while the gentlemen gathered around a table, laid out the pages and, taking out two decks of cards, occupied themselves with a pleasant
conversation. There are no compartment carriages on the railway lines of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company; They are all salon carriages, with benches along the walls and equipped with platforms. As we have said, in the Ist class carriages there are tables, the tops of which can be folded down when not in use, thus gaining space and not impeding circulation. The carriage showed no other special feature; only it had a double roof to block out the sun's rays. Von Baldowitz also related that carriages with imperials were still used between Batavia and Meester-Cornelis in the omnibus trains. However, the places on top were not wanted, because of the smoke of the locomotive, which passed over it when it was moving at a certain speed and painted the faces and white jackets and trousers of the gentlemen
unsightly.
At one of the stops, the two children present in the carriage showed some
interest in what could be seen outside. Von Baldowitz then stated that in Passar Mingo
(Sunday market) had arrived and that the most delicious fruits of the
entire Batavia area were growing in the area.
"From here," he continued, entire wagons leave for Batavia every
day to be sold at the various markets, such as Passar Senin (Monday
Market), Passar Baroe (New Market), Passar Glap (Evening Market), etc.
are also taken to the docks and there they give to the crews of the ships
at anchor, whereby great profits are made."
When the travelers looked outside, they saw the platform of the Passar
Mingo stop covered with krandjangs (baskets), all filled with fruits, ready
for loading. There were also several hawkers among them, offering their wares to the travelers.
