LARGE NUMBER PRESENT FOR

THE FORMAL OPENING THE CANNING PROCESS Explained Enough Produce GuaranteedAll Are Satisfied With the Factory. On the occasion of the formal opening: of the Richmond Canning Fac tory, an invitation was issued to the public, inviting them to come and inspect the factory and the equipment. In response to this invitation large numbers of people, chiefly those mostly interested in the factory, were present yesterday afternoon between the hours of two and four. Up to Expectations. Even the most conservative persons were compelled to admit that the management has provided the best and most expensive machinery that can be gotten, and from the looks of things, will run the factory on strictly business principles. Quite a number of truck gardeners and farmers who have signed contracts to produce tomatoes and corn for the factory were present to get an opinion as to the wisdom of the enterprise. One and all they declared that they were more than satisfied and that any lingering doubts as to tin factory's substantial standing Ave re dispelled. John Lancaster, the well known gardener, Avill produce probably more for the factory than any other one gardener, and he twas on lund to figure but the" '"prospects "of the new venture. Enough Contracts Signed. Enough farmers and gardeners haA-e promised to bring in produce to keep the factory running for at least the first year. It will be July or August at least, before enough tomatoes can be secured to run the fac tory and by that time the canning season will have advanced far and there will not be many weeks wherein the work can be done. Next spring the factory will be started out early and Avill try to make up for the lateness of this year's start. The Factory Building. The main buildinsr, and the only one erected as A-et, is about two hun dred feet long by seventy wide. It is divided into three sections office, cooking department, and the main mora. The office is not fitted up as yet, but will be soon. In the main room are the tables for peeling the tomatoes. These are grooved and slanted, and all the juice will run down the table, floor, into a long trough and out. In the same room are the engine, the capping machine, the corn cutter, and other machines. Since corn and tomatoes will be the only two A'egetables canned the first year, all of the machinery is used in the canning of these two. The tomatoes are first peeled by hand, cooked in great A-ats in the rear room, then poured by hand into the canning machine, which fills the cans and taken to the capping machine, where the cans are capped and sealed. The corn is first cut and chopped, then cooked and canned, sealed and capped in the same way. The process is an interesting one. The promoters of the factory and the S. S. I. A. are well pleased with the results so far and confidently believe that the factory will be a success. Thework of erecting sheds is still goin on and a force of carpenters is at Avork. The factory will prove a good thing for the south side and the city in general and will fill a gap in the list of Richmond's improvements. J. II. Kidwell, of 17agerstoAvn, promoted the scheme and Mr. Clark is at present at the head.

LESS POPULAR G. R. & L TRAINS TO BE ELIMINATED.

NORTHLAND LIMITED Installed Unnececssary Trains Dropped on all Divisions Changes ,...ii ,, . -J in Time. Tomorrow the Pennsylvania and the G. R. & I. will put into effect a new schedule on their respect iA e lines. While the changes are not many and will not be especially noticeable, they all shoAv one thing, namely, that all unnecessary trains are eliminated and if tAvo trains have been doing practically the same Avork, with the inevitable result that one gets all thee business a. -id the other none, the one that does the little business Avill be stopped. The change of schedule is the tail end of the waAe of retrenchment that swept over the' railroads, not long :'go, during' .which thousands of men 'ere laid --- cm some roads. The Penns.AlA'ania adopted a i.ew method for bringing the profits up to the operating expenses to droft trains, not men, and then the men Avould have to quit. In several cases when tAvo trains have been doing almost the same work, the poorer of the two has been dropped. The retrenchment' policy has been followed to good advantage. The following are the changes : Chicago-Cincinnati Line. No. 31, from Cincinnati to Logansport Avill r.rrive at 3:10 p. m. instead of 4:45 p. m. and will leave at five o'clock, ns before, laying over here i j ; xi : i v. 10 aviii ieaeaor cincmnari awto ,p. h. .... n . . . r K insrpad ot at 4 r m. G. R. & L Line. On this line the changes are many, because f the fact that the Chicago fast trains in nearly every case, either immediately precede or follow the G. R. & I. trains to Cincinnati and the former are the most popular. Xo. 5, the Northland Limited, will arrive here at 9:05 p. m. instead of r.t 9:50 p. m. on account of the fact that Xo. 1, the fast Chicago train arrives from Cincinnati at 11 : p. m. The Northland Limited aa ill be the great train for the northern re-orts and Avill carry sleepers from Indianapolis to Louisville and Cincinnati. It will leave for the north at 9:15 p. m. instead of 11 :05 p. m. No. 2 from the north arrives at 3:35 p. m. instead of 3:40 p. m. and No 4 at 4:40 a. m. instead of 4:35 a. m. No. 3 leaA-es for the north at 3:20 p. m. instead of 12:50 p. m. to give an afternoon train to the north. Columbus-Indianapolis Line. The chief changes on this division is the elimination of No. 34, the Indianapolis-Columbus accommodation, which leaves here at 3:57 p. m. because No. 20, the Keystone Express, from St. Louis to New York, follows it but an hour later and the light traAel OA-er 34 's route does not Avarrant the expense of the train. The elimination has been expected for some time, and while the people of the Greenville route will get a trifle worse service, it will be a saving. All of the through St. Louis-New York trains remain the same. The elimination of the unnecessary trains will prove of benefit to the railroad company. The Pennsylvania is furnishijg excellent service" at present and he new equipment is being called into use. x The Northland Limited, which ar-ries-from Cincinnati at 9:05 an ' leaA-es at 9 :15, will be a popular train to the northern summer resorts, as it giA-es an entire night's sleep and gets the passengers to their destination in day time. The World's Fair Special and the. Northland Limited are both popular trains on this account. The G. R. & I. train is only run as a limited during the summer season.
