FAST FREIGHT Chicago & Erie to Put on Special Dispatch Trains. It is understood that the Erie is perfecting their new freight service, known as the “Erie Dispatch.’’ Cars carrying freight of high-class and ordered into this service will be given the best facilities in transportation, and will demand prestige over all other freight handled. “Erie Dispatch” freight will be organized into special trains, which will be hauled on fast schedules over the entire system. By joining this movement of reorganiziag the freight classes, the Erie bids fair to remain one of the strong competitors for New York Chicago fast freight. Christian Church.
