Cause of Delay of Monon Trains Here Wednesday.

Delphi Journal. Trains on both the Monon and Wabash railroads after nine o’clock Wednesday, were held up all day when an east bound Wabash freight, with the blocks set against it, was derailed in froht of the tower here. The Wabash road bed was torn up for several hundred feet and the new Wabash freight engine, lying on its side, projected just far enough over the switch to prevent Monon trains from passing. The derailing occurred about B:3ff in the morning, just after the plug had passed, setting the blocks. The fireman on the 'Wabash engine claimed that the road was clear although the towerman made certain of the signal before he threw the train from the track.
