Uniformity of Time.

The New RaI1road Time systena-Yale
 College.
 Prof. Newton. of Yale college. speaking yesterday of the uniform time system for railroads, resulting from the recent conven- tion of railroad men in Chicago, expressed his warm approval of the system as long needed desideratum. It had not come up without severe opposition and the friction oc- casionsd in it's origin and creation had helped it's success. He cited the case of the city of Hartford, Conn, which, when the Connecti- cut legislature was agitating the adoption of the Connections standard, labored under the disadvantage of having three different sys tems of time to cope with; someof the trains leaving on Boston time, others on New York time and the others on Hartford time. So also with many other cities there was like confusion. He rejoiced at the adoption of the uniform railroad system and advocated the application of the same time rule to all public clocks, which should be run in har- mony with the railroad time system which takes effect Nov. 18th.
