No New Trains for Monon, But Some Fine New Coaches.

The Monon is not to have two new trains as waß incorrectly published recently in a number of newspapers, but passenger trains Nos. 30 and 33 are to run on a slightly changed schedule and are to be made up of entirely new coaches, the best ever purchased by the Monon railroad, and one of the finest trains ever run on any road. The change is to take place Sunday, August 27th. The trains will be run only to and from Indianapolis and will pot connect with C. H. ft D. trains for )*nd from Cincinnati as heretofore. The reason for this is the fact that the northbound train has been unable to maintain a regular leaving time At Indianapolis, owing to the fact that the C. H. ft D. trains have been so often late. As the Monon carried the Cincinnati mail into Chicago it had to wait for the C. H. ft D. By the new arrangement mail clerks running on these trains will go only to Indianapolis and It is expected that several will have their salaries reduced by the curtailed run, Several Rensselaer mailclerks will be affected. Train No. 38, which now leaves Chicago at 12 o’clock and which arrives here at 1:58, will run on about the same schedule. The corresponding train, north hound, is No. 30, which now meets the evening milk train here at 5:58. By the new schedule it will leave Indianapolis about 8 o’clock and probably arrive In Rensselaer about 15 minutes earlier than it now does. Surrey will probably be its point for passing the milk train. The purpose of the change is to meet a demand in Indianapolis for a first class train that will be so scheduled as to leave in the middle of the afternoon regularly and reach Chicago at or a little before 8 o'clock. The officials are feeling very proud of the coaches that are to make up the newly equipped trains. The coaches have Just been turned oat of the Dayton, Ohio, shops, and are now in Indianapolis, where they have been inspected and pronounced very line by officials.
