new MAIL TRAIN
FOR CAROL|NAS
One to Be Put on by Southern
That Will Be Of Great Ben
eft to Richmond.

1t is learned on good authority that in
connection with the new fast mail train
Of the Southern Railway from New York
10 New orleans, there will be put on
train from Richmond to make connec-
lion with the flyer at Danville. This train
is one that has long been wanted by the
Richmond merchants and the Iewspa-
Ters. According to the proposed scheQuie,
for nothing definite as to the time has
as vet been announced. the train will
leave here about seven O'Clock in the
morning and Will get the Richmond
morning dailies into the North Carolina
field from five to seven hours earlier
than they now get tpere.
The following special from The Times
Washington correspondent in regard TO
the new train was received last night:
Inquiries at the main Office of the
southern Railway Company this morning
disclosed the fact that the plans Of that
road in regard TO putting on new fast
mail train from New York to New Or
leans are stiu in their infancy, and so far
nothing definite has been determined
upon in regard TO The schedule of the
train in question. No official statement
could be had, but it is learned that the
present idea, so far as it has been de-
veloped is to have the train leave New
York about two o'clock y. NJ. This will
put 1t in Washington about six or seven
o'clock in the morning, and in Atlanta
about eleven at night 1t will be due in
New Orleans at ten or eleven the next
morning The above hours for the arri-
val Of the new train at Washington, At
lanta and New orleans are, Of course, APP
proHimate only.
II is proposed 10 reduce the time be
tween New York and New Orleans to
lhirty-three hours, and between New York
ard Atlanta to twenty-five hours. The
schedule time of the train will be about
fifty miles an hour.
The train Will he specially for mail ser
vice, and viii carry only a limited num-
Der of passengers. The train will start
with one baggage car and three mail cars
or one baggage car, one high class express
ear and two mail cars. Later two Pull
mans viii be added. The main object OF
The train is to get mail TO the South and
Southwest more quickly than is now done
ever the other routes. New Orleans, Jack
sG.rille. birmingham, Macon and all
roinss throughout the South, and even
MeHico, viii be benefited.
Ar, c. IL Ackert, general manager Of
the southern, has charge of the matter
2f this new train, and he is out of Wash
'ugtou at present. He has all the papers
IN regard to the case With him. and the
probabilities are that there will be no
DEFINITE action taken until his return to
Washington in about TWO weeks.
