DOZEH INJURED IN A MONON WRECK.

Passenger Train Ho. 6, One Here at 3*17, Plies Up at Wilson Station Near New Albany. Special to the Republican. New Albany, Feb. I.—Passenger train No. 6 on the Monon railroad, which left this city at 7:30 o’clock this morning, was wrecked at Wilson station, about 16 miles out of this city, and a dozen persons more or less injured, while all persons on the train were given a severe shaking up. Two of the tank wheels left the track and ran on the ties about the length of the train. This caused the mail and baggage cars to leave the track and then followed the passenger coaches, and all were turned partly over on one side except the chair car, which wheeled around and set cross ways of the track but kept its upright position. About a dozen persons were injured, some having broken limbs, and every one on the train was considerably shaken up. Chas. Cutler, the baggage master, sustained a broken leg, and a mall clerk, whose home is in New Albany, but whose name could not be learned, had a broken arm and it thought to have Internal Injuries. Doctors were hastened to the scene from New Albany and Salem. It was thought that the track would not be cleared for six or eight hours, and a special train was sent out from Indianapolis to make the run through to Chicago.
