RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, IMO.

MONON PASSENGER TRAIN LEAVES TRACK NEAR PARR

Train No. 36, Dae Here at 5:30, and Running Late, is Derailed By a Broken Rail. NOT A PASSENGER WAS INJURED , TTnuaal Duck With the Monon and Cars Bemaln Upright in Bough Half Mile on the Ties. Passenger train No. 36, due to pass through Rensselaer at 6:30 o’clock, from Indianapolis, was derailed about a mile and a half north of Parr this Friday morning and, although going at a tremendous speed the train was not overturned and not a passenger or trainman was even bruised. The train was about a half hour late and was taking advantage of the smooth, straight track to make up as much of the time as possible. It Is probable that it was going from 60 to 70 miles an hour. A defective rail broke squarely in two, a piece five feet long being broken out. The engine, the mail coach, combination baggage and smoking car and the day coach passed over the broken rail before it broke, but the four sleeping coaches left the rails all or partly and for almost a half mile ran along the ground. Twenty or more rails on the east side of the track were jerked loose from the spikes and turned over, but the coached remained upright and finally Engineer D. Miller brought the engine to a standstill. Conductor M. Mason was on the train and he at once hastened through the sleepers and found that none were injured. He also inspected the train and found that aside from a disabled truck on the combination car nothing was injured or off the track but The sleepers. The combination coach was temporarily repaired and the passengers on. the sleepers moved to the day coach and that part of the train proceeded to Chicago. When it arrived at Fair Oaks the combination coach was set on the siding. The milk train reached the scene of the wreck in time for the crew to be of some assistance in getting it on its way. It then backed to Rensselaer and remained here until the track wa§ cleared up and repaired. General Superintendent J. B. Sucese and Trainmaster Quinby, the former being accompanied by his private secretary, Roy Chissom, arrived here in Mr. Sucese’s private business car at about 10 o’clock, and proceeded to the scene of the wreck, where they took direct charge of the situation and by 1:30 o’clock the track was cleared up and passable. The trains due here at 10:05 and 10:55 were sent around on the Michigan City division. The fact that the wreck had no more serious termination can be attributed to the solidly frozen ground, for had the ground been soft or had the accident occurred on a curve serious consequences would have followed. The defective rail that caused the trouble had been previously cracked and possibly had been defective for some time, but the flaw was In the web under the angle bar and could not have been seen by a track inspector. Conductor Mason was in charge of the same train when it left the track three years ago last August at the J. H. Holden residence. It is understood that Chas. Grow, the mail clerk, was on the train.

Who Can Beat This! E. W. Hickman in hia two year old $1,050 Buick automobile accomplished a task on the 13th inst that a machine costing twice as much could not do. Two touring cars started from Lafayette through the soft ice and know. One broke down a short distance out of Lafayette, the other touring car, costing $2,800 new, attempted to tow the disabled machine to this city, but found the roads in such condlUon it could not do it. They came on here, secured the services of the Buick and they towed the disabled car some 35 miles through soft ice and snowdrifts without a moment’s trouble. His Shakespeare selecUons are very successful.—New York Dramatic News. At M. E. church Friday night. e

HORSE RUN OFF; ONE BREAKS LEG.

Rensselaer Wilkes Mare Belonging to Ed Harris of Mt. Ayr, Killed After Being Injured. A good team of horses driven by a son of Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, took fright near the depot shortly before noon today, and when near the Catholic church the sled to which they were hitched overturned and the horses were liberated from the sled and driver. They ran a short distance farther and into a tree. The mare fell and it is probable her mate stepped on her, at least, one of her front legs was broken just above the ankle. She was taken to Duvall’s livery barn, where it was decided to shoot her. The mare was worth about S2OO, being Rensselaer Wilkes stock. She was a family pet and Ms. Harris had decided not to sell her at his coming sale, and he prized her above the actual value.
