Tho case was very Important to the

ilrBt brought to trial In court before

now trial was ordered, which came on
nt Troy In October, 1609, before Judge

Special to the Scranton Tribune,
funkhnnnock, May 2S. Tho chango
of time on the Lehigh Valley road
went Into effect yesterday and, while
not ns extcuslva as expected, still
makes tomo radical changes In tho
matter of running trains. Tunkhan
nock hns been without a morning train
down tho road for several years now,
much to tho Inconvenience of persons
wishing to do business either In
Wllkes-Hnrre or Scranton. This Is
remedied to some degree by tho new
schedule, tho train formerly leaving
hero at 11.45 a, in. having been made
earlier nnd leaving hero now at 0.34.
At the same time tho morning train
up Is made about an hour earlier, nnd
this train brings the city papers. Out
r.ldo of these two trains, no changes
of Importance were made on the Val
ley. The Montrose branch wns given
a shake-up and the train which has
always stayed In Tunkhannock over
night now lays up In Montrose, com
ing down In tho morning In time to
make connections with the trains both
ways i the Valley, and making two
trips each day, tho last one Waving
hero at 5.15 p. m. It Is a convenient
chango for Montrose people nnd also
for people In Wllkos-Rarre going to
Lake Carey. If Tunkhannock peoplo
want to do .v little business in Mont
rose, however, they will stay over
night.
