TRAIN CHANGES JUNE 4
New Time Table to Show Quite a Number of Sched- ule Alterations.

The expected announcement was made yesterday of the coming changes in the timetable of the New Haven railroad for the summer sea- son to take effect on Sunday June A. The timetables, giving full particu- lars of the changes will be put in the hands of the agents on Friday, June 2.
 First Assistant General Passenger Agent T. E. Coley said last night that he was unable to state at the pres ent time anything as to details of the changes except that the White Mountain expresses, two running in opposite direction, will be put on at that time, and also that the Bar Har- bor express will be run through Hart ford, Springfield and Worcester, in- stead of via New London and Worces- ter as heretofore.
 This change will be made in order to overcome the abrupt rise of grade from New London to Worcester, which has heretofore delayed the progress of these trains.
 There will be the usual number of extra trains put on to cover the sum- mer schedules which are demanded on the various suburban roads leading out of New York, Boston and New Haven

 Mcleod listened. There could be no mistake, he recognized the whinny of Dan. Putting on his clothes he went out to the gate and there sure enough stood Dan hitched to a junkman's wagon. Mcleod was irate, for he had given the horse to a friend up in New York State on condition that the faithful old horse was to have an easy life
 For years the horse was used to drive the family about in a light car riage but when the children grew up and were married off, Mcleod and his wife had no further use for him, and supposed they had found a good home for him.
 Mcleod was about to unhitch the horse and put him in the stable when man ran breathlessly up to him and lay claim to the horse and wagon He said he was Rocco Giannetti of Liv- ingston. and that he had purchased the horse a few days ago on Staten Is- land He left the animal united in East Orange, he said. and had follow ed him about three miles.
 Mcleod bought Dan from the junk man for $50. and the horse is now oc- cupying his old stall.
