People Becoming Acquainted With the
New Order of Things on the Railroads..
The changes in the timetables of the
Maryland and Delaware divisions of
tho Pennsylvania railroad which went
into effect ut 1901 o'clock Sunday

suit the new cards closely. Some who

sion have been announced. Those on
the Delaware railroad are few. The
southbound train changes are rs FOL
lows. The accommodation which, has
been leaving this city at 2. % o'clock

leaves at II W. The.9.5S a. N: express,
northbound leaves at 10.06. The OK
press formally leaving at l1.25 a. m.
now leaves atg1l.22.
The new time. card is an improvement
over the old one The map of the F.,
w. & B. railroad and connections is
shown on the cover and the schedule OF
the Delaware division is arranged SINH
liar to that OF the largo tables, showing
the trains running north on one side
and the trains running south ON the
other side of the schedule. Another
important feature is that the connec-
items with Baltimore and Washington
are plainly set forth. The trains con
Meeting with Ocean City ara also
marked on the new schedule.
