With the news of the contemplated O
hange in the present train schedule be- \
ween RehobOth and Harrington, and S
ther points north, comes the report
hat the people of Rehoboth are very !
veil satisfied with the schedule as it is
nd are to ask the officials to have it re- d
1ain so. Some time ago the passenger
rain leaving here at 3.2O p. m, was v
hanged and left at l.30 p. m, and this r
hey found to be very unsatisfactory to
9th residents and visitors, particularly a
hose persons who came here to examine s
nd rent cottages. The first train into +
.ehoboth arrives at 1890 p. m, and
nth the train leaving at l.30 p. m,
,aves but an hour for them to transact
leir business and get lunch. Drum
lers were even compelled to cut out the
1wn or else stay over night, and this =
1ey found did not pay. The fish pounds :
-hich land their fish between II and l Il
clock would not be able to fish their b
cts and get the catch iced and packed
time for that train, which would be-
Ond doubt soon run them out of busi- &
