MANY HURT IN TRAIN WRECK.

Thrc! Fatally and Twelve Severely Inj tired on Wabash Railway. The west-bonud Wabash limited from Detroit to Chicago jumped tho track a mile and a half west of Millersburg, Ind., plunging over a 20-foot embankment with forty-three passengers aboard, all of whom were injured to some extent, three fatally. The train had just passed over a high trestle, running fifty miles au hour to make up lost time. A defective rail caused the wreck. It caught the baggage car, Vblch left the track with the day coach and two slec|>ers, the ears rolling over and over iu their terrible descent. Every ear except the baggage car landed top down. It seemed as if the passengers, who were thrown pell-mell in the quick revolutions of the cars, would all he killed.
