Columbia Hotel Closed Again. George W. Shay, who has had charge of the Columbia Hotel for several months, has given it up and moved to Cumberland, where he will oonduct a hotel and continue his popular chicken dinners. The hotel is therefore closed again. One of the objections to occupying this fine hotel building during the winter months is that the heating plant is not in shape to heat the building and the house can not be heated by stoves. The owners will not put in an up-to-date heating plant, and the hotel will not succeed until it can be heated.

Filled New Cooler.

The Spot Cash Store filled their new sanitary meat cooler Tuesday evening with ice. It holds about two tons, and is up-to-date in every respect. Everything about the new market is to be painted white and kept scrupulously clean. The new location of the market is a great improvement.

FOURTEEN PEOPLE1 KILLED III WRECK

Head-On Collision at Irvington Between Passenger Train and a Freight Resulted in Terrible Loss of Life.

A fast passenger train on the C. H. & D. railroad, which passes through the south part of this county, was wrecked Wednesday morning at Irvington, by running through an open switch, meeting a freight train in a head-on collision on a sidetrack, killing fourteen people and injuring many others. Four members of one family from Jackson, Ky., were killed and two others injured.

It was two hours before the first body was removed from the wreck. The injured people caught under the wreckage cried piteously for water, and one of the first acts of the rescuing firemen of the Irvington department was to cut a hole in the tops of the cars and supply the injured with water.

One engineer was found scalded to death in his cab. One man was thrown through a window and fell onto a barbed wire fence. Another man escaped injury by being tossed onto a trash pile. The passenger conductor was killed as he was standing in the aisle of the car and when found was still standing with his glasses on unbroken. A dead mother, with her lifeless babe of two months in her arms, was removed from the wreck.

The physicians and people of Irvington rushed quickly to the rescue and aided the injured and dying. The firemen worked bravely and the city police responded with ambulances. As rapidly as possible the injured were sent to the hospitals at Indianapolis.

Dr. 0. C. Meier, of Irvington, formerly of New Palestine, was one of the physicians who rendered 'valiant service.
