Last Thursday The New Era was un- able to give any definite information in regards to the change of timetable on G. T. R„ although many' rumors • were being circulated. However on Saturday we learned the changes and had a bulletin out, so that travellers could be ontheir guard in leaving Clin- ton on Monday: The only change made in the morn- ing and night train, and this train, is really a Goderich to Toronto train. While we say the only change, an- other one'has been made that effects Goderich and Olinton alone, and that is the mixed train due about the time the L. li. & B. goes down, has been cut off and travellers for London and the School of Commerce now have to catch the early train. The morning express means a nota- bly faster trip and arrival in Toronto in time to get something accomplished before noon, while in the return trip in the evening. the hour of arrival is much more condenienit, The train leaves Olinton at 6.25 a.m., reaching Stratford at 5.35 a.m., or five minutes earlier than the old train did; Leaving Stratford at 7.45, the new train makes the run to Toronto in two and a half hours, arriving in Toronto at 10.15. On the return trip the train leaves Tor- onto at 6.10 p.m., and makes the run to Stratford in two hours and forty- five minutes, arriving here at 8.55 p, m. Passengers there for points west have only a five-minute wait there, the train proceeding on to Clinton at 9 olclock and 1'eadhing ;this ;town jot 10.03 p,m.. The new Toronto train stops at Kitchener, Guelph, Georgetown Brampton land \Vest Toronto, both coming and going, 'and provides ex- ! I press service. Parlor car buffet equip- ment will be standard on this train, which operates between Goderich and Stratford on -the other end of the run. This train will not connect with the - up train from 'Buffalo and that the trains from Buffalo will operate be- tween Stratford and Buffalo only. FINE START FOR NEW TRAIN. Stratford Herald: The new fast train to and from Toronto was inaugurated Monday morning and proved its popul- arity by taking on over one hundred passengers at the local station, adding to the large number who were on from Goderich line towns. The train itself made a fine appearance, the cars hav- ing -just come out of The London car shops where they had been repainted and refitted with new equipment. Two day coaches, one cafe coach and one official car ma%e up the train, which was hauled by a latest type locomotive and manned by a first class crew. In the official car were Mr. J. C. Garden, Superintendent of Motive Power, returning to Montreal; Mr. W. J. Piggott, divisional superintendent, who secured the train for his divis= ion; Road Forman East and soma other officials of the G. T, R. The passengers included many ' local,busi- ness men bent on trying out first hand the advantages of the new ser- vice. In charge 'of Conductor J. S. Allem and Engineer R, Snider, with "Max" Wagner as fireman, the train made A fast run from Goderich this morn- ing, reaching Stratford on the dot of 7.45. While the engine crew are froth Stratford, the trainmen are men sta- tioned in Goderich--J. D. Stewart as baggage men and H. A. McLean as brakeman, The relief crew ' consists of Conductor J. H. Kelleher, Baggage- nman A. 'Cox and J. D. Stewart, Jr„- as brakeman, , 'rhe train got away, promptly at 7.45 5011 reached Toronto at 10.15. The traveling time of the train is from 45 to 50 miles an hour,, and further tithe is gained by the small number of stops made—Kitchener, Guelph, Georgetown, Brampton and West To- ronto being the only stops, Over 200 passengers were on board when sthe train reached Toronto. . * the ry ew Era for Job Work in.

HENSALL BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY FIRE Livery Barn, Blackshith Shop and Woodshop Owned' by Thos. Murdock Burned—Horses Re- saved. Mensal], May 3,—Fire, which is be- lieved to have originated in the black- smith shop, of George Brock, between 10,30 :and 11 o'clock to -night, com- pletely destroyed that building, along with ,the livery stable of Thompson Murdock, and a woodshop operated by Colin Hudson. 'All three buildings were of frame construction, adjoined each other, and were owned by Mr. Murdock. His loss, which will be ex- tensive, is partly covered by insurance: The fire/was brought under control at midnight. • The blaze was the most spectacular seen here in some time. In addition to the frame structures, quantities of hay and straw lent impetus to the flames, which mounted to a great height, attracting hundreds of people from Seaforth, Zurich and Exeter. Soon after the' fire was discovered the hand brigade was on the Scene and pumped streams 'of water into the buildings. it was only through per- sistent efforts that the hotine of Mr. Murdock, close to the livery stable, was saved. Fifteen or 16 horses in the barns were rescued, but. several carr- iages and equipment were destroyed.
