ELSEWHERE will be found a communica-
ton denying the correctness of the statement
that by the new arrangement, the only Maine
Central morning train going east, will leave
at four o'clock. The statement having ap-
pea1ed in several papers in connection with
the names of officers of the road, we deemed
that the announcement was semi-official.
We could not, however, believe that the
present managers of the Maine Central, who
seem so DESTROYS of giving the best possible
accommodations TO Maine people, would
willingly so completely ignore this city.
