Passenger Train Nos. and 2, Both Ar
rived Here Ahead of Time.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
broke their record for number of
months past Thursday by running
both of their east bound trains, Nos.

the east but it made such fast time
that it arrived here 8 minutes before

also both trains making fast time on
their run.
