And Still Another Wreck.

A Remarkable Co-lncldence. ■ —— When the Monon route is running regularly, trains No. 4 and 8 leave Chicago every evoking, No. 4at 7:30 and No. Bat 8:40. The first time those trains attempted to run after the blockade last week, was on Friday night Both of them were many hours late before they reached the vicinity of Rensselaer. No. 8 was wrecked by a broken rail when approaching Rensselaer. No. 4 was wrecked in the same manner at about the same time, when approaching the Battle Ground. The full extent and nature of the Battle Ground vreck, we have not been able to learn, as no trains have come oyer the road since it occurred. The train had several Pullman sleepers attached and these were badly damaged, but the list of casualties was slight, one man having some ribs broken, and another being somewhat bruised. The are said to have been upwards of 150 passengers on board, at the time.
