Trains and Go Back on With Adj
vantageous Changes in Their Seized
ules-A Change in the Havana Con-
nection-A Sleeper on Train for
Tampa via Dupont, High Springs
and Pemberton.
The passenger schedules on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway have
been completely and thoroughly revised.
Trains 5 and go back on. There is to be
a new local train, the new route to
Tampa via High Springs and Pemberton
has been opened up, and important
changes are to take place in the running
times of almost every passenger train on
the road. The changes go into effect to-
morrow morning at o'clock.
The changes in schedule have added
materially to the passenger service of
the road, and its through con-
nections north and east, and
they will be greatly appreciated by the
travelling public and those who ever have
occasion to use any of the lines of this i'm
portant route to the South Atlantic and
Gulf states.
The falling off in the travel contingent
upon the yellow fever epidemic in Bruins
wick caused the withdrawal of several of
the passenger trains, which was, never
theleSs, an inconvenience to those who
still wished to use the route for business
purposes, and for time there was much
complaint about the inconvenience in the
lack of transportation facilities. The re-
modelling of these schedules furnishes the
service wanted, and in many respects
there will be decided improvements in
the running of the trains as compared
with that of last year.
