Baltimore and ONO railroad Company to
Put on Additional Trains.

Baltimore and OHIO Railroad Company to
Put on Additional Trains.
The officials Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Go. announce change in the
time schedule to go into effect on No
veinber Goth. 1t is tho intention to
place in service more trains. There is
now no northbound train between the
~. 10 express and the 2.45 p. m. A
new train will leave for Philadelphia
at O'Clock. Other changes that will
add greatly to the convenience of the
patrons of the road will also be made.
Among the trains to be added will
be ono train each way daily between
New York and Washington. This train
will make the run between the two
cities in four hours and 30 minutes, a
saving of 20 minutes over the schedule
of the five hour flyer. The special
flyers will consist of Pullman cars fresh
from the Chicago shops and perfect
beauties. Each train will be composed
of parlor, dining and observation cars
and will be under the direction of
ID. B. Martin, manager of passenger
traffic, and j. II. Maddy, press agent
of the railroad company. The cars are
now en- route fromN the Pullman works
in Chicago and are attracting atten-
tion along the line. The trip is being
made by easy stages for the purpose OF
exhibiting the cars. At Pittsburg
about 1900 persons crowded along the
tracks to examine the cars.
