and n aches Baton Rouge at or neal
6 DEL ck in the. evening. There is nc
double but this route of travel between
Baton Rouge laid New Orleans will
become almost universally patronized
by th3 public. One thing that win con-
tribute to makelit SO is the fact that
the fare between the two points is but
five dollars. !
The resideEcc of Mr.. Morris Marks,
corn4 d of Claiborne and Cabahanoosse
streets was entered by burglar last
Saturday afterfioon between the hours
of four or five O'clock, and over one
thous and dollars worth of watches and
Jewel by distracted from an armoir in
one Of the bcl chambers. There was
no one Of the regular inmates in the
house at the! siIne the robbery was
com1aitted, Mr. Marks being in New
Orleans and HiaI wife absent on visit
to a teighbor. No clue has yet been
discovered of The perpetrator Of the
theft, but it IL supposed 20 have been
some one acquainted with the interior
and lurniturd f+the house, as the key
of til armoiri was taken by the thief
tromsa bureGu drawer where it lay
concealed, a1sA replaced after the
armdir had been unlocked. We sym
path ze with the loser of the valuable
property, and siopeit may be regained
and the identity of the robbcr dis
covered. III
RI ILRoAD' lrEMs.-We have sew
eral items of interest connected with
the railroad 10 give our readers this
week, and here: they are:
The tri-wsekly freight train has
been. disseminated and two or three
freight cars are now attached to the
daily passenger train in lieu thereof.
This arrangknsent will enable the
shipment of freight every day to or
FRONT Baton Rqnge and New Orleans
or ANY interlie;liate points, and will
be duly appreciated by merchants,
-
planters and: shippers of freight gen
orally. III
Tke numbering old barge which has
beeI used fof the transmission of pas
sena frs from New Orleans to West
wegb in the morning and back again
in the evening has been discarded,
andfn its place is one of Morgan's
splendid lake steamers--the Frances.
This steamet' Hlakes the trip in about
half the tilslet heretofore consumed,
Whit IN viii lend greatly to increase
travel upon che railroad as many
people prefefsed taking the steam
boats to undergoing the tedious yoy-
agcl the barge.
Alchange Id the time schedule of the
daily train has also been inaugurated.
On each days except Sunday, the
change consists only of arrival in
Donaldsonv ilTf at l2:30instead of 1915
IS heretofore On Sundays however,
he strain arrives here at l2 NJ, and
REM pins untlli8 p. NJ. This is for the
accommodation of such persons as
may wish to- visit Donaldsonville dur
ng the summer season, and in order
hat the visit may not be an expensive
luxury the price for the round trip is
1laS ed at thb really low figure of three
lolArs, wifi the proviso that tickets
Ire good onsy for the day purchased
md cannot pe.used at any time sub
'eqjent. Il
AL these changes and improve
merits Indicate that the railroad COM
parry are determined to afford the
public a reliable, speedy and comfort
lbll mode of transit, and we are con-
idebt their efforts will be fully ap-
,reeiated AND rewarded by liberal
