Important Railroad Changes.
THE BALTIMORE d oHIo's NEW FAST
SCHEDULES TO NEW YORK
AND THE WEST,

Commencing to-day, the Baltimore
& Ohio road wakes up to so lively an
appreciation of the demands of the
hour as TO win the unlimited favor OF
the public and at the same time throw
rival lines into condition of perplexity
not at all conducive to good digestion.
Under the new schedule Washington
gets her full and just deserts A; a tribute,
by the way, she has not had paid her
before. Instead of being placed upon
the same footing as to time from and 10
the West as New York, this city, via
the Baltimore & Ono, Is now many
hours nearer, aud Philadelphia and
New York are reached, via Washing"
ton, at exactly the same time as by the
fastest trains via Harrisburg or Buffalo.
But while New York is thus reached at
the same time via these as other cities,
the time from this city west is very
much shorter. For instance, the Cin-
ciunati express, leaving here daily at
9:l0 A. M, arrives at Cincinnati early
the next morning and at st. Louis that
evening, three to four hours in advance
of the fastest trans by any other line.
The same advantage Is gained by the
ST. Louis express, leaving here at $3.50
p. NJ, reaching Cincinnati the next
evening and 81. Louis the following
morning. The Chicago lightning ex.
press leaving here at $40 Z. NJ, is well
named, as it reaches Chicago the next
evening, an entire night ahead Of the
fastest trains by other roads. The
trains from the West under this neg
schedule of the Baltimore & Ohio,
come here a-hying. The New York
express, leaving st. Louis in the morn-
ing and Cincinnati that evening, arrives
here atnoon the next day, eight hours
ahead of all other roads, while the Bal
tImore express, leaving ST. Louis in tue
evening and Cincinnati next morning,
reaches Washington the following
morning. The lightning express, leaY-
ing Chicago at Sis Z. NJ, is another
remarkable time maker, as it arrives
here the next evening, no less than
eleven hours in advance OF the quickest
train By any competing route. In Or
der that all things on the road shall be
III keeping with the lightning transit
inaugurated to-day, the track has been
put III lirst-class shape, aud the Janney
coupler platform attached 10 tue pass
enger equipment. The dining halls on
the-line, all Ot which are owned by the
company, have been thoroughly renV-
waited and reIitted, aud now, under Vie
personal management OF one VI the
most popular hotel men i'll the country,
will be found models OF convenience.
Thus, with the West looked after as
never before, The b. j D. has paid
equal attention to its Baltimore, thlla'
delphia aud New York schedule. The
trial Trip Of the Canton, the monster
new transfer boat, was made on Friday,
and was perfect success. She COM
mences her work to-day, and instead OF
the long transit through the streets or
the tunnel under Baltimore the trans
fer is made from Locust Poiut 10 Can
ton in five minutes, a saying OF FULLY
halt hour over other methods. The
Canton takes fifteen passenger coaches
at one time, having engines Of tremen-
deus power. Tuere are now ten ex-
press trains leaving Tor Baltimore aud
all Of them average forty miles an hour.
The limited express, on which no extra
charge is made, leaves here at 9 A. NJ,
arriving at Philadelphia at lis z. NJ,
New York at AS. The 2 Z. NJ. reach
es New York at 10, and the 1916 Z.
81. at Gas A. M.-Washinglor Post.
