FORT WAYNE CURRENT WEAK. Played Off and Decatur Cars Were Affected —All Right Today. O. P. Seh‘-.6 is serving touay as mo i torman on the interurban, in the place i of Louis Scheumann, who was required to work the greater part of the night, doing some car repairing at the barns. The car service has again be1 come normal, after some inconvenience and break in the schedule Mon- - day caused chiefly by the “wanting" 1 force in the Fcrt Wayne current. The I cars ran all right on the interurban current until they reached the Fort Wayne citiy limits, where the Fort Wayne current was weak and refused to carry the Decatur cars. They accordingly stuck and it was necessary to bring out some of the freight cars to pull the Decatur cars bacy onto iheir own line, where Hie current was strong enough to propel them. The 2:30 ear here yesterday afternoon was the last one to leave Fort Wayne on time. After the Fort Wayne cur rent played off on them, the Decatur cars then ran only to the Fort Wayne limits, and the passengers were j brought down to the limits on the Fort Wayne city ears, where they met the I Decatur cars and were conveyed here all right, though the cars were a little late, the last car here Monday night being an hour behind schedule time. Everything has been adjusted today, however, and the ears are again working all right. —n— ——-— aRIVARPE u b. circuit. Rev. George Shepherdson Becomes the Pastor of This Circuit. The Rev.
