EXPRESS TRAINS.

TO RUN NEXT WEEK. WHERE HAS THE SUPPLY OF COAL • COME FROM? Thirteen is always understood to be v an unlucky number. However, titers is every prospect that next week it will prove to be a very lucky number for the people of New Zealand. N There is a strong probability tftat otf Saturday, September 13, the railway express services will commence to run regularly again (says yesterdays Times). We ar.e not in a position to give any details, nor are we able to gay where the of coal has come from enable the undertaking to be carried into effect. While a fair amount of coal has been brought from Australia reoently, tho supply from New Zealand mine* has fallen off considerably, but if our information is correct—and we believe it lathe railway management contemplate* a resumption of the express aervieea at the end of next week that will meet the public yrishes and relieve a very awkward situation, both in the matter of passenger traffic and the carriage of goods. A Pre S» ..telegram says that a states mont was published yesterday that tip express 1 trains were likely to resume running on the 13th. Inquiry at the Railway Department elicited the reply that they could not make any announcement on the matter, and had no comment to make on the report.
