Expected Change OfTimc Table.

1t is understood that an important
change is soon to be madc in the time
table of the Delaware Division. Several
months ago the timetable was so ar
ranged as to give those people who live
in Sussex county an early train through
to Wilmington and Philadelphia. Before
that time, passengers from points in that
county could not get into Philadelphia
until 1906 p. m, and since that they
reach the city little after 10 o'clock.
The change now talked Of will enable
passengers having as their destination
points in Sussex county, to spend several
hours longer in Philadelphia. Train No.
q leaving Philadelphia before 400 p. m,
is the last train on the Delaware road
that goes clear through the state, and
many times people are inconvcnienced
by having to leave the city so soon.
Train No, %, leaving Philadelphia at
$50 p. M, only goes to Wyoming. By
the talked OF change No. q only goes to
Wyoming and No. 03 goes clear through
to Dcimar.
If the officials Of the P, W. 4 B. Rail-
road make this change, it will be much
appreciated by down-the-State people.

it appear that the reports that the con-
