New Trains to Carry Mail; Route Starts and Ends Here.

Trains Nos. 37 and 38, the passenger trains that were installed last January, are now to cany mail here. Heretofore the trains have only carried mail between Monon and Cincinnati, but now the route will bo as far north as Rensselaer. No. 37 is the 11:30 train, south bound, and J. B. O'Connor, of Hamilton, was the first to make the trip from Rensselaer since the new order went into effect The train is only 24 minutes later than No. 5, which goes to Louisville, and all south bound mail has heretofore gone on that train. Now the mall will be divided and part will go on the later train. This will give about 15 minutes more time to get mail off over the Indianapolis branch. It will require George McCarthy, the mall carrier, to make two additional trips, each day, as he will have to take the mall out for the 11:08 train and return at once for the 11:30, and meet both the 2:53 and the 3:15 in the afternoon. The clerks on the new route are Mr. O’Connor, of Hamilton; Charley Mann, of Rensselaer, and Patrick Farley, of Liberty. One of them will be in Rensselaer over night every night, coming in on 38 one afternoon and going out on 37 the next morning.
