AND STILL ANOTHER ONE.

0 Louisville Train Wrecked at Fair Oaks Wednesday Forenoon. The southbound Louisville train on the Monon was wrecked at Fair Oaks Wednesday forenoon, but as usual with the Monon wrecks, no fatalities occurred and not a passenger badly injured. The wreck occurred north of the station as the train was slowing down for to take the siding, and is thought to have been caused by the tender not striking the north switch squarely. The engine tender all the coaches were ditched and trains were detoured again via Wilders until evening when the wreck was cleared away. The trucks and platforms were torn off the coaches and some of the coaches were tipped partly on their side. The fact that the train was slowing down to take the siding to allow the north bound Cincinnati train pass, only prevented greater damage and propable loss of life.
