Train No. 4 Ditched at Lowell.

The early northbound train on the Monon, No. 4 from Louisville to Chicago, was ditched at Washington street in Lowell yesterday morning. No. 4 does not stop at Lowell, and was running at a high speed, it being about three hours late, when the day coach and sleepers left the track and the former is reported to have been quite badly smashed up. The engine and mail car did not leave the track. There were no fatalities, but six persons were injured, one woman seriously, the others only bruised and scratched, /Particulars were hard to get, the depot officials here not having had much of any information regarding the wreck, and what The Democrat was able to learn was got over the telephone. All trains from the north were delayed by the wreck, and were not in as we go to press. Owing to the train being so late there were no Rensselaer passengers on No. 4.
