| The new winter schedule OF the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad is ofhci-
ally announced to go into effect on
Sunday, the oath inst. Although.no
nositive information has been OBJ
tanned by us, we believe the follow
ing figures are near about right. An
additional train each way will be put
on, making three passenger trains a
day. Southwark, the New Orleans
Express will be about the same time
sos a. m.-carrying sleeper through
to the South; the Shenandoah Elk
press will reach here about A p. m, a
little earlier that at present; and a
new train, the Lightning Express,
with sleeper attached, will pass
through here about midnight.
Northward, the Lightning Express,
with sleeper attached, will pass here
about s.25 a. IN, followed by No. 2
Express at - o'clock noon; No. 4 Ex-
press. that is now scheduled at 1909
d. H., but which gets here most any
time after midnight, will arrive at
about s. Is p. m, and, it is announced
will be run on regular time. 1t will
also carry a sleeper. If these prog
nostications prove to be true the new
schedule will be about the best the 3.
V. has ever had.
LATER.-News received here on
Wednesday knock the above calcula-
tions all to pieces. There are to be
but two trains each way. No. south
bound will be 40 minutes later, max
ing it due here about S.45 a. III. No. 1,
which now gets here at 81 p. H., will
arrive about midnight. No. 2, north
bound, will arrive here at about a.
III. instead of 3.37 p. H., and No. 4,
now due at 1000 p. H., will be few
minutes later. If these figures prove
to be correct, the schedule will be
about the WorSt the road has ever
had. Indeed, there will be only one
way to make the schedule more in
convenient to the travelling public,
and that is TO take off the passenger
trains altogether.
There is talk of new b. &. o. de-
pot at Hagerstown. 1t is needed.

and Mondays north bound trains
did not get here until the next day
The local freight trains on the s.
V. are daisies. They are generally
about day and half behindtime.
Wednesday afternoon s. V.
freight brakeman named Murray, from
Hagerstown, thought he would have
nap while waiting for a train. He
laid down on the track, calculating
that the train would wake him before
it got to him. He made a mistake,
though, for a freight train struck
him before he could get off the track,
breaking his jaw and one of his legs
and otherwise injuring him. The
accident occurred near Riverton.
Last Saturday night some fellow
broke into the waiting-room of the de-

sides upsetting things generally.
The Shenandoah Valley Railroad
should have a new station at Shep-

Parran property at the Main street
crossing and remodel it, it would be
just the thing.
