authority that the L and N people arenow planning for important changes onits system in Kentucky when the littlegap between Versailles and Frankfort iscompleted The plan is to run allthrough trains from Louisville to theSouth via the L and A into Richmondhere to connect with the Cincinnatitrain for same points This of coursemeans that trains on tho other brancheswill be run in such mannet as to connecthere Richmond is to be made the im¬
