RAILROAD SCHEDULE CHANGED.
Aberdeen Complains of Time Card
Soon In Eject.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteligencer.
ABERDEEN April l6.-The woes of
cities which are unfortunate enough to
be placed on branch lines Of railroads
are many. Just now, when the harbor
towns are making an effort to secure a
Sunday passenger train, comes the an
nouncement of a new time card whith
will take effect on April %.
The change of time makes the arrival
of the passenger train in Aberdeen over
two hours later than the present sched-
ule The train arrives now at Sis Z. M
and barely gives the postmaster time to
get the mail all distributed before 40
or s O'Clock. Under the new time card
the mail will arrive too late to be dis
tributed on the evening of arrival.
This will work a great hardship to the
business men of Aberdeen. as well as the
other cities on the harbor, and 1t will
mean practically one days delay OF the
incoming mail. Heretofore the mer-
chants had the opportunity OF attend
ing to their mail matters I'm the evening
The large business transacted on this
branch of the railroad by the harbor
country demands first-class service, hut
II would seem from present indications
that our only salvation lies In a COM
peting line.
