The Radical Changes on the New Ha-
 ven Ra1lread.
 The time table of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad which will go into effect on June % will in a measure reyolu- tionize the present passenger service and will be feature-in railroading. Travel has 80 far increased as to justify the establishment of trains for different classes of travellers and just as soon as the four tracks are com pleted more liberal service than that to go into effect June 25 will be provided by the company. In dividing passengers into class es of travellers and in providing independents accommodations for each class the company realizes that it is just ss important to trans port the people of Bridgeport and Hartford, for example, ct their convenience to and from the metropolis as it is the people of Mount Vernon and other places situated nearer New York. To accomplish not only for the people going through Connecticut and on to Boston, the company proposes to establish hourly service from New York, be- ginning at a. m. and including p. m.
 Trains will be run in sections and in some cases there will be as many as four sections to train. The first section leaving on the hour will make the longest run, the second the next longest run, and so on. For in- stance, of the train leaving New York at 4 pm. the first section will run on it's way to Boston via Springfield from New York to New Haven without stop, the second to Bridgeport without stop and from there up the .Naugatuek division to Winsted; the third section will make certain important stops in New York and Connecticut, reach- ing New Haven twenty minutes later than the first section, while the fourth section will be an accommodation train between New York and New Haven, stopping at all sta tions, serving not only for passengers from New York but also from way stations to New Haven to take the next express for the east.
 With the block signal system now in oper- ation on the trunk line of this road trains can be run with perfect security within five minutes of each other. To the requirements of the through passenger traffic between New York and Boston the contemplated changes will also be better adapted. The company falls in with the prevailing notion that there is no reason why travellers from New York to Boston or vice versa should be compelled to stop at any intermediate stations before reaching their destination. Partly to meet this. demand is the new schedule adopted.
 The new arrangement will also serve the public better while awaiting the departure of their trains. As is well known, the waiting rooms in the Grand Central depot are inade- quats in size.
 OU001 the new plan or running 1Q BectlOHb passengers will be admitted to their trains much earlier than heretofore, and conse- qusntly will thus relieve the waiting rooms.
 The through express trains will leave New York and Boston via N. F., N. H. and Fl. R. R., and connecting roads at the following hours: At 9 a. m. via B. and A.; at 10 6. m. via Shore Line and N. Y. and N. E.; at Il a. nn. via B. and A.; at p. n. via Shore Line: at 8 p. m. via N. Y. and N. E.; at P. n. via B. and A.; at 5 p. m. via Shore Line; at Il p. m. via B. and A.; at 11:30 p. m. via Shore Line and N. Y. and N. E.
 Under this arrangement the trains now leaving New York for Boston, and Bosten | for New York via Springfield at 4:30 p. m., will start at p. m., and new express train half an hour later than the old one, at p. rn, via Providence and New London, is | added Of these express trains one or mora will make no stop between New Haven and l New York, water being taken from Q trough in the middle of the track located 1 iust beyoud Stamford. The new engines l huiIt by the Baldwin Locomotive works, l which will be used on these trains, have all | the appliances for taking water while going l ct almost full speed.
 It is generally understood that new pas | sengsr tariff will go into effect on all divis- | ions of. the road on July which will correct ! the inconvenience caused by the present use | of pennies. This will be done by reducing | some fares one or two cents and adding to | others, 70 that the fare in nost cases will be | . multiple of five. The changes will not ex- eeed three cents.
