Slight Changes In Several Trains Date From Sunday.

The faster time between Indianapolis and Chicago made by the “Hoosier Limited” has necessitated a slight change in the time of some of the Monon trains. The new schedule becomes effective Sunday, Aug. 27th. The evening trains will hereafter meet at Surrey instead of Rensselaer. No. 30 will reach here at 5:44 in the evening, or 14 minutes earlier than heretofore. It will be given a clear track, passing the milk train at Surrey. The southbound milk train is scheduled 4 minutes later than heretofore and is due at 6:02. No. 33, the southbound “Hoosier Limited,” Will leave Chicago at 12 o’clock and reach Rensselaer at 1:55, the fastest schedule between here and Chicago the Monon has ever adopted, and three minutes faster than the train it replaced. It will reach Indianapolis at 4:45, or 10 minutes less tipae than was heretofore required. The morning train for Chicago will hereafter leave Rensselaer at 4:53 instead of 4:59, and No. 38 in the afternoon will go at 2:48 instead of 2:53. The “Hoosier Limited” will have a schedule of 4 hours and 45 minutes each way between Chicago and Indianapolis, a distance of 183 miles. It will be a popular train, no doubt, between these two big cities, and the officials of the road have put on a very beautiful train with the aim to satisfy the demand for travel between these two important points.
