Every change OF railroad scneuu4>
appears to affect Milton adversely. B,
the schedule of the D. NJ. & V, that went
into effect on the 25th inst, the train
going north leaves Glendale at 20,
while the train of the Queen Anne's ar
rives there at about o'clock. Conse-
quently no mail can go from Milton in
the afternoon by this route. However,
the genius of our postmaster and his lit
tie assistant, has partly overcome this
They now send the second mail from the
Office to meet the 1890 train going to
/ Lewes. The Milton mail therefore, goes
through the Lewes Office, and north
bound on the I. 81 train of the D NJ. &
V. R. R. This whole matter is a system
of cOntrariness on the part of these two
roads. Why should a little trainway try
to antagonize a mammoth organization,
when the only result is a disadvantage to
its patrons along its route The Della
ware Division has other roads which its
lateral lines must cater to, and it is the
duty of the Queen Anne's to make its
schedule to correspond and 10 suit the
travelling people. During the summer
the aforementioned road ran its after
noon train at little after I O'Clock, had
it continued this schedule it would now
supply present needs.
