It Is reported. and on the best au- thority, that two or three of the great Eastern railroad systems will shortly follow the example of the Southern Pacific Railroad and order hospital cars. which can be easily transformed into parlor coaches. The idea Is an excellent one and in keeping with the marvellous strides that have been made in perfecting railway travel during recent years. In sanitation the pro- posed new cars will be a distinct ad- vance over the old style.

Last night every lower in the car was sold It was a twelve section car but only Eve sections were available from Montgomery, three sections being re- served from Atlanta. three from Bir- mingham and one from Nashville. Pas sengers from the East on route to Mo- bile, if they wish. can buy only a seat in one of the Pullmans from Atlanta to Montgomery, transferring into the lo- cal Mobile Pullman on the arrival of the Western train In Montgomery. The same thing applies to Birmingham and Nashville, and that is why the seven sections are reserved. In a fourteen section car however. seven sections can be sold out of Montgomery.

The indications are that the extra fast train on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad referred to by The Ad- vertiser some time ago win be put on by December 1.
 The probabilities are that train No. ! between Cincinnati and Nashville will be made limited train from Cincfn- natl to New Orleans. This train now leaves Cincinnati at 11:20 a. m. and will reach Montgomery early the next morning arriving in New Orleans early that afternoon.
 The official schedule has not been given out but 1t Is said that this train will be the fastest on the Louisville and Nashville. It will be strictly a limited train with no local stops at all. This train will simplify matters great deal, for both train No. i, arriving here at il a. m and No. 3, arriving at 7:26 D. m. are invariably crowded to their capacity when they reach Montgomery. This train will not have any connee- tions here, both of the other trains. morning and evening. getting the trans continental connection from the Wes- tern Railway.
 When this train is put on there will be four daily trains from Montgomery to New Orleans. two through trains and q local in the morning and one through train at night
