 Rumored Re-routina of Fast Night Trains.
 l story gained circulation here on Tuesday to the effect that the big, | fast night trains now running through | this city are to be taken off and re-
 stored to the Shore line early in | March. No verification of the story ! COulQ De neI6, nO"eNeE. II | Is supposed that the rumor applies | to the fast mail and express trains | that were taken off the Shore line
 and put on the Midland division a | few weeks ago.
 | Adding of the express trains to the l route through Putnam made this city l an important transfer station for ex-
 press at night and made the railroad ! station a very busy place, as it con- | tinues to be at the hours when this
 express matter is being handled. 1 The story that the trains are to be
 taken off was first heard about g

 Midland to allow of freer movemen of freight, as it was understood here makes it seem likely to a number O Putnam people that the trains wil | remain on their present run, for tn
 freight pressure is as heavy, or heav

 person has been considered by tn democrats as a candidate for the of | flee, but that the plans for a cam paign will be worked out in due time It is the sentiment of influential dem ocrats that the party's opportunity t l campaign in the interest of a candi date of their party should not go b.
 default and that the recent successe ] of the party in city politics woul warrant a strong effort for the tow, office in question.

 the speaker Tuesday evening at temperance rally held in Union hal The meeting was arranged under tn l direction of citizens who are anxiou that Putnam be voted into the no 5 license list of towns in the state a [ the annual town meeting next Octo Der. A special drive is to be mad in Putnam, for one reason becaus | Putnam has a much larger number c
 saloons than it is entitled to unde t the law allowing one for each 500 c ? ! the population. this excess being du
