NEW YORK AND BOSTON.
Made Their First Trips Today-BOth
Arrived Here and Reached the Ter
minals ON Schedule Time.

Boston, Mass, June % The first train
out OF Bost on scheduled to run to New
York in five hours pulled out of the Park
morning
The first relay of the great trial is
Providence. The announcement that
the train was to start this morning at
the attempt OF record breaking served to
attract large but not over enthusiastic
rowd OF railroad employees and news
paper men.
The train consisted of engine 252, one
Of the best and most powerful locomo-
tives on the old Colony, three drawing
room buffet cars and combinatio
observation and smoking car ON the rear.
1t was shortly after 3 o'clock that the
crowd began to gather and Mt $3.50 quite
large delegation has passed under the
archway over which appeared the notice
Next train goes at 10 a. IA :, Providence,
Hartford New Haven, New York" From
that tine until the start the narrow pas
sage way fronting the track was crowded.
Conductor f. j. Eagan was in charge OF
the train.
When the train started there were
scarcely more than dozen passengers
inside. The combination car was near y
filled by officials OF the road and in
vited guests.
The crowd outside cheered them FAINT
ly, which they old not mind, aud 20 the
seconds licked of until the departure.
Al 1857 engineer bowen WaIc a veteran
of the throttle backed 252 down and she
was made fast. Then fireman. Mcguire
took look at the hot furnace aud took
an extra reef In his shirt sleeves In antic-
ipation of the work to come.
Conductor Lagan shouted, Cali
aboard" held a whispered conversation
with his engineer for moment, waved
his hand again, aud while the air pump
lifted The brakes 252 became invelopei in
cloud of steam and as the SQUAD Of her
rapidly increasing exhaust was lost to
the ear the thought that was aroused in
the minds of all was. Can she do it"i
In this City.
The fast train from Boston 10 New
York reached this ci at 1059. She was
on schedule time. No miships occurred
on the trip from Boston. A number of
newspaper and railroad men joined the

MARR|EDNOMEN SR|GHTS
A Radical Change In the Laws on
First Of July.
PROPERTY LIABLE FOR DEBTS,
No More Evasion of the Legal Processes
by bankrupt Men Transferring Their
business to Their Wives-Real Estate
Rights and Ownership OF Stocks also
Changed.

On July / the legal status OF married
won EN- in his state will be evolution
iaed.
At present married woman is peson-
ally almost entirely exempt from the
operations OF law. Her propertys Is
not hers to 'spose of. aud her creditors
can not touch il. She may be as rich as
Cresus, incur debts to the extent of
thousands OF dollars. and yet defy
the law and almost the state itself.
On Saturday all tIis will be changed
and TO put it briefly married woman
will stand legally ON the same level as "a
married man. The law enacted in the
January session says;
Any Married Woman
may make any contract whatsoever the
same as II she were single and unmarried
aud with the same rights and liabilities.
IL has been tine costom Ia this state
heretofore for many men to carry Oh busi-
ness in their wives names. Under such
arrangements thewife can incur any, debIs
for goods sac may see ut. She may
pocket the procee is Of the business aud
transfer he same to her husband The
business run on such principles usually
ends in bankruptcy.
But the married woman cannot be held
accountable for her debts, and under
SUCH tlTCutnSlduCtS Tue nu5DduQ mas no
pr, per, y that il available.
7 ..Is practice is now to be stopped.
Another section OF the bill prvvides
that
"The Deed of q Married Woman,
conveying her separate interest in any
lands, tenements, or nerediJaments, snail
lie acknowledged by Ler While separate
aud apart IRON her husband, and size
shall declare TO the officer taxing such
M ht.f lae.I
strument snown aud explained To her by
sueh officer, Is her voluntary act and
Tat she does not wish to retract the
same. It snail not be necessary for the
husband OF such married wamin To join
III said deed, except TO convey mis- inter
est AS teuaut Dy the curtesy, and his
signature without acknowledgements
snail be sufficient therefor"
by this section "a married woman may
convey her real estate without The con-
sent o. her h"sla al, his ST. Ma, ure being
merely a matter Uf courtesy. Before this
IL has been necessary for husband To
sign al d,eds 10 his wife's propsr.y and
in the deed his nams appeared ahead Of
hers.
Another clause subjects married wo-
mans property to legal process as fol-
lows: "The property secured to any
married woman oy tnis chapter snail be
Liable to attachment
or levy for her debts and liza Dill les under
the same circumstances and with the
same effect as ii she had continued sole
aud unmarried, au,i nothing in this chap
Ter shall lie 50 construed as To pair any
lien or right OF lien theron, or any rem dy
by law provided Tor the enforcement
thereof"

Sunday at the Fair.
Yesterdays attendance at the fair, con-
sidering the fact that the day was in every
sense perfect, was disappointingly small.
1t is understood that, commencing next
Sunday, the general admission will be cut
down to 25 cents, which price is to prevail
on Sundays during the life of the fair.
But few of the exhibits in the main
building were draped, but not wheel
turned in any department The hum of
machines in machinery hall during the
week draws thousands, but yesterday the
great building was practically deserted.
Were the fair to run on Sundays as dur
ing the week, it is likely that the crowds
would be as big.
The Midway PIaisance
was full CT life and animation. The Ger
man village, with its military bands and
beer, drew like circus. The street in
Cairo fairly hummed and the donkey boys
raked In small fortunes. The dancing
girls played to standing room all the after
noon. Old Vienna was well patronized
and the bands on the square played Ger
man tunes all day. Hagenback's trained
wild animals, the rival Irish villages and
the various other concessions had no
reason TO complain of the day.

statesman was paid yesterday afternoon
