Rumored Change.
There is a report current that
the T. & N. 0. will soon abandon
the present schedule which calls
for a lay-over he re of a night of
all pacsenger trains. The rail-
road commission has been ap-
pealed to by towns south of here,
and have given notice that -tfciey
will take the matter up on Febs
16th, for the purpose of deter-
mining whether or not the road
shall be compelled to operate
through trains. At this hearing
it will be up to the compainants
to show that great inconvenience
is being caused through travel
by reason of the local schedule,
and the railroad will probably
answer by submitting in evidg*
their ticket receipts, which
show that the road has pract
cally no through travel, most of
their revenue being derived from
the sale of local tickets.
