New Fast Trains on the Burlington

Well Patronized.

The new schedule recently affected
on the Burlington road seems to be
meeting with the general demand of
the public for increased service. Since
its inauguration June 4th the fast
trains that were placed in service
have enjoyed good patronage and the
daily passenger traffic seems to be
gradually increasing, says Wednesday
evenings Burlington Gazette.
No. 10, one of the trains again
placed in service carried thirteen
coaches this morning, three more
than the usual number. There was a
heavy passenger list on this train and
a great many travellers arriving from
the south on X line train No. / board
ed the flyer for eastern POINTS. The
train from the south as well as No.
10 were fifteen minutes late into the
city due to the heavy traffic.
K. G. train No. 81 was delayed two
hours in its arrival here last evening
due to a washout in the south coun-
try. No. 80 south bound on the same
line could proceed only as far as La,
CIede, Missouri, as a result of the
heavy rains.

Whatever are the dement's of the

has behind him a record that in most
