For the Third time it Reduces
the Rate to Cincinnati and
the Public is Very Appreci-
ative.
STARTLES ITS RIVAL
BY THE LATEST ACTION
If Richmond People Use the c.
C. & l., They Will Save so
Cents a Trip-Other Cuts
Are Coming Soon.

The c. c. & l.. which already has
put up big crimp in the passenger
business of the Pennsylvania be-
tween Richmond and Cincinnati. has
taken another twist at the gigantic
corporation and will again reduce the
fare between Richmond and the
Queen City
c. A. Blair, local ticket agent for
the c. G. & L. yesterday made the
formal announcement that on and af-
ter October 1, Richmond passengers
to Cincinnati will have to pay but
S1.50 one way and $3.50 round trip,
tickets for round trip being good for
thirty DAYS
Make Excellent Time.
The c. G.. e. l.. trains running into
Cincinnati have shorter mileage to
cover than the Pennsylvania and the
travelling public is beginning to rec
ognize this fact and the biggest bust
ness out of Richmond to Cincinnati
will be over this line
1t is rather noteworthy fact that
during the present summer season
there has been scarcely late train
into Cincinnati over the c. G. & L.,
showing the wonderful improvement
made in the physical condition of the
road.
With the fare reduced to $50 for
one way, the c. G. & L. is simply
demonstrating that it intends to give
the people of Richmond the benefit
of its excellent service at a lower
rate than the Pennsylvania gives for
the very same.
The Old Rates High.
A few years ago when the Penn
sylvania had things all its own way
in Richmond, it charged a fare of
S2.10 to Cincinnati. The C. c. & L.
now cuts this rate 60 cents The old
round trip rate on the Pennsylvania
was $3.50. The c. c. & L. has thus
reduced the round trip rate 90 cents.
The competition offered by the C. C.
& l.. has manifested itself in no un-
certain way and the people are APP
preciative.
The completion of the c. c. & l..
into Chicago will doubtless result in
changes of fares to that point as
we'll as territory beyond: and their
anxious over these circumstances,
fearing the long established condition
will be disrupted.
Official Announcement.
The official announcement of the
c. C. & l.. relative to the reduction
in fare is as follows:

MEXICAN Central instalis Phone.

Mexican Central InSsaIlS Pnone-
By the decision Of the department
OF communications and public works,
in approving the plan Of installing
| telephones on all trains in the repup-
lie, one Of the greatest innovations n
ra.lroading eve introduced IN Mexico
will soon be In operation.
Already operations are going for
ward on the main line of the Mexican
Central to furnish every caboose with
a telephone, and the station at Juarez
now has direct connection BY long
distance telephone with the onice 20
the city OF Mexico. by relays.
This plan has been under discussion
for some time, but 1t was only a few
DAYS ago that the government officials
approved 1t so that 1t could legally go
into effect. The plan Is to equip 9
train with a telephone which has long
taps that can be attached to the long
distance wires overhead, thus making
a connection with any station with
which the train rev wishes to talk.
As 80 often happens. accidents oc.
Cur between telegraph stations and u
often IS several hours before the dis
patchers know what Is the matter
with the train that has failed TO report
for some time. With the telephone
system in effect all the conductor OF
a wrecked train has to do Is to get out
the portable telephone connect It with
the wires overhead and explain his
difficulty.
