Inc new schedule on the Manassas Branch Of
The Midland railroad, which went into effect
90 Monday and by which the train which
formerly left here at 2:55 D. m. now leaves at
800, does not meet with the approval of the
clllens living along that road and numer-
Gus complaints have already been made of
Tue change. People living at the upper end
OF Tue road say the train now reaches their
stations after dark, making it very incon.
veulent for them and for those VINO live any
distance back in the country, and they fear
mat when winter sets in and the days be-
rome shorter, il will be so late in the night
1eiore the train arrives that they will be a
Jay late in getting ther mails, sc. 1t is
saI1 that petition will be sent to the Off.
ua.s OF the road requesting them to run the
'fains as they were before the change. The
people living along the Manassas road never
nave been satisfied since the up train was
,euanRed from morning to an evening train,
Uut now they say it is a night train and the
recent change has been decidedly for the
worse.
