Death of “Danny” Carr.

Dan M Carr, the well known and always popular passenger conductor on the Monon Route, died at his home in Lafayette, of congestion of the brain, after an illness of onlyfour days. His remains were taken t o Missouri for, interment. Mr. Carr has been in the service of the Monon ever since it absorbed the old air line narrow guage, and previous to that time was a conductorfon the air line; hence his extended acquaintance in Rensselaer. This extended acquaintance, and the esteem in which he was held here was expressed by the following letter of condolence to his widow, sent last Friday and signed by 75 of our citizens:

Mrs. Dan M. Carr, Lafayette, Ind. Dear Madam: We the undersigned Citizens of Rensselaer, having intimately known your husband for the long period of his connection with the Monon Railway, desire to express to you our sincerest regret at his untimely demise. He was our friend in every sense of the term, and as such we mourn him'. The ways of providence are past finding out. It is our duty to submit, not to criticise, and we can only express our condolence and sympathy for you and your orphan children and our expressed regret at the death of our friend and brother.
