MAINE CENTRAL.
onanges to Be Made in Portland Trains in
October.

on October 4th the fall and winter time
.anie OF the Maine Central road will go
.n.o effect. These changes will take place
IN Trains running out of, and into, Port
land.
Inc fast express now due in this city
a. Il a. m. from Boston, that runs to
aroostook, st. Johns, and other provincial
cltles, will not be taken off but will run
all winter, but via Augusta instead of
Lewiston. This will be the fast express
instead of the train now leaving at H. SO
=. M, which will be cancelled. With
tnls exception all trains from Portland,
east, will run exactly as last winter,
Onere being in place of the 10. 80 express,
q local train stopping at all stations and
leaving here at 1.20 p. m. for Bangor.
1he corresponding train for Lewiston
VIII leave at 1.15 p. m. The evening
traln, for Augusta, will leave Portland at
o.lo p. m. instead of sos, and for Lewis
Ton at 6.15 instead of $40. The advantage
OF the through train arrangement is that
Trains do not leave SO near together, and
- Ao oiotn having az d. La. 10 w IuA
through to Bangor the schedule gives four
trains per day at convenient hours, viz. !:
At a. M, 11.20 q. M, 1.20 p. m. and
lip. III.
Another new feature of the time table
Is that the am. train will connect this
year with train for Belfast.
The trains into Portland from the ca t
will be the same as last year, except that
train No. Is, or Jewett's train so called,
from Waterville to Portland, will be can-
celled. Mr.. Jewett will take one Of the
through Bangor trains. The Flying Yam
kee will make the necessary stops between
Waterville and Portland, and, in order to
do this, will leave Bangor little earlier
than heretofore, but arrive in Portland
only ten minutes later.
Another important feature of the
change is that train that usually left
Waterville by the back road via Win
throp, will wait at Waterville the arrival
of the Yankee from Bangor so that passen-
gers from ST. John and the Aroostook
can hereafter reach Winthrop, or Lewis
ton, by direct communication which they
have never before been able to do, pas
senger for Lewiston, from the east having
had to make the journey to that city via
Brunswick. This change will cause the
Lewiston, Pennington train to arrive at
555 instead of 5.45.
The trains on the White Mountain
division will run the same as last fall
and winter.
There has also been a change of freight
conductors.
Conductor Rodney Crosby has been re,
moved from his old run of the Waterville
Portland freight to the new freight train
from Waterville to Bangor.
Conductor O. W. Clement formerly oil
the Waterville-Po Portland freight train,
No. 1928, has been assigned to No. 36-S7
the Waterville to Bangor freight.
Raymond Kicker, for some time con.
ductor of freight Nos. 1895, Skowhegan
to Portland, has been sasigned tosspecial
work with headquarters at Bangor.
James Tucker of Waterville, has been
assigned to the freight No. 49, 36.
Conductor e. G.. Lasselle. has beer
changed on his run SO that he now leaves
Waterville Mondays, allowingI him to bt
with his family on Sunday. C. W. At
kinson of Liyermore Falls, has been put
onto Lasselle's train.
