So great was the force of the explosion that two men standing in the door of a store fifty feet away were severely injured by the flying pieces while every window within aa radius of a quarter of a mile was broken.; The car contained workingmen on their wav to their homes in this city. A most searching investigation began today into the explosion on the street railway last night. Besides the nine killed at the time, Mrs. Conway, Mrs. Flaherty, J. D.

Gormon of the Metropolitan police

force. In his recent trip to the old country, Mr. John B. Dougan did not forget his friends at home. While in, Switzerland he secured a button hole watch of Swiss design and movement. It is a perfect little gem and keeps excellent time. It is to be worn in the button hole of a coat the same as a lodge button. Mr. Gormon prizes it very much. The watch is a regular stem wind and perfectly made in every way. In presenting the Avatch Mr. Dougan said Mr. Gormon had kept watch over him long enough and now it was his turn to watch him. ' PROSPECTS FOR FOOTBALL ARE FINE THIS YEAR SOME PRACTICE WORK Schedule of Dates and Places Other College News of General In- : terest. Earlham's prospects for a winning football team this season. are brightening materially. On Monday afternoon about sixteen men answered roll call; since then many of the old players and some very promising new ones have come in. Under the skilful management of Coach Brewer the men already show marked improvement. Speed is a prime necessity as the teams average will probably not exceed 1 GO pounds. To this end Brewer has been exerting,himself. Monday and Tuesday were spent in light tackle work and signal practice. Yesterday afternoon two teams were lined up and scrimmge work was taken up. This morning Captain Maple of the Scrubs and Hobbs of the Varsity lined three men up in earnest and some practice work was done. Both teams made a very good showing. A rather difficult schedule ha been arranged for the coming season which will be as follows: Wabash Athletic Club at Wabash, September 24. '.Purdue at Lafayette, October 1. Indiana Medical College at Richmond, October S. Depauw at Greencastle, October 15. Wittenberg at Springfield, jQctober 09 MM Wabash at Richmond. October 20. Franklin at Richmond, November 1. Rose Polytechnic at Terre Haute, November 12. Miami at Richmond on Thanksgiving day. The schedule for the second team has not yet been completed but it is likely that some very -good ma tehes will be had. .- V Farmers Are Wrestling With the Wheat Sowing Problem. Farmers are now busy with their wheat sowing. Some commenced a week. 'ago. but the rain of Sunday put the' ground in fine condition and the work Avas commenced in earnest Monday. It is however a big job. In most fields two or three men are required to turn the fallen and tangled corn fast enough to keep a. drill going. .This makes the work expensive and slow and the result will be a total acreage below what it would I otherwise have been,. ,4

Yesterday and last night great numbers of persons attended and all expressed themselves as being well pleased with the shows.

Of course, what I have to say will not be for the edification of those who havebeen here, but hope that I may be of some slight benefit to those who are yet to come, or will not come. , One word to those interested in passes may be of help, for a World's Fairfpass is obtainable only after a goodly amount of red tape and the payment of two dollars and the expenditure of nearly three hours' time.

Of the Dining Car Service on Pennsylvania Road Combined Cars. A unique feature of the fast Pennsylvania all-Pullman trains that go through here is the newest innovation by this company, namely, a combined diner and lounging car. These have only been run on the limiteds within the past few days, but they have been especially noticed. The jlining service of tle Pennsjlvania limiteds is exceptionally fine and this new feature will be sure to prove pleasing and very acceptable. The combination cars are furnished in regal fashion and are outdone in splendor by no other coaches on the lines. They Mill supersede or be added to the old diners, a new lot of which were recently purchased. The combined diners and loungers, will naturally only be handled on the fast

limited trains, such as No. 2G and No. 27. CHANGES IN TIME CARD AFFECTING LOCAL TRAINS TO BE MADE SUNDAY 1 1 NORTHLAND LIMITED" Will Arrive Here at 3:30 a. m., Instead of 4:40 a. m. Other Railroad Notes. Next Sunday several important changes will be made in the Pennsylvania time tables at the Union Station, this city. The changes were announced this morning, and the new tims cards will be issued in a few days. The changes t while not many, are quite important. They affect only the Chicago-Cincinnati line and the G. R. & I.,' the east and west divisions being not changed in regard to the trains. The changes follow: No. 4, on the O. I?. & I., which arrives here from Pctoskey at 4:40 a. m., will arrive after Sunday at 3:30 a. m., and will leave as No. 44, at 5:15 a. m., for Cincinnati, waiting one hour and forty-five minutes at the Richmond station. No. 31, from Cincinnati to Logansport, will arrive at 4:40 p. m., instead of 3:10 p. m., departing at 5 p. m.. for Logans port as usual. No. 3 on the G. I?. & I. will arrive from Cincinnati at 12:30 a. m. leaving northward at 12:50 a. m. This is the old train, which was taken off a few months ago. The Cr. K. & I. train. No. 4, this morning was two ours late. The steam heating apparatus in the sleepers failed to work, and the passengers were nearly frozen when they arrived here. Tancred Comma ndery of the Knights Templars passed through here on a special train from Los Angeles to New York at 7 o'clock this morning. This is the fifth special train of the Knights Templars inn through here this week. Three more will go through soon.

LINE BEING BALLASTED AND PARTS RELAID

AN OVERHEAD BRIDGE Near Eaton is Now Completed Tb Troubles Due to Poor Power are Now Over. A two hour schedule between Xt Paris and Bichmond is now. in forte, but it is unoilicially stated that this is but temporary and is ma'de necessary by the fact that the work of ballasting the line has been again, taken up and it is desired to push it to early completion. It has beea gone over once and the work now going on is the finishing touch. As sovti as this is done and the gravel train is out of the way, it is understood that the hourly service will be resumed. The new overhead bridge across the railroad this side of Eaton is completed and the track is now being laid over it; it will be in use within a short time. It is a much larger structure than the one at the State Hue, as a much longer middle span was required owing to the ngle at which it crosses the railroad. The troubles due to insufficient power are being rapidly overcome, and it 4 l . t ' .... if r.ievieu iiiai tuuuu a ery feuuis time they will entirely disappear. As already noted in these columns, the former electrician and engineer w-js discharged some time ago, and Superintendent Fravel resigned. Within the pase two weeks A. M. Botham, of Baltimore, has been-appointed superintendent and hs assumed charge. He will also act as chief engineer at !Ue power house and as he is an expert elect ricial engineer, thoroughly conversant with the operation of traction lines, it is expected that he will speedily bring the service up tc a standard far exceeding anything that ha syet been attained. It is understood that the work of installing tl.e engines and boilers is now almol .ompleted, and as this work has been done by a force of machinists from the factory where the engines were built, it is fair to presume that it has been well done, and as it has bor n planned on an ample scale it '.ill doubtless meet -all demands upon it. There is reason to believe t ha, '.'u-i public will not have to wait move than a week or two longer to have perfect regularity of ser ice. President .Winters has had many trying experiences since the x tusion of the line to liichnxud and X'-w Paris was put in operation, about everyting that could be thought ;f to handicap him having happened, . but there are now good prospects that Lis ambition to make the Dayton & Western second to no other line in the country, will soon be realized. 161ST REUNION Will Not Be Held This Year on Ac count of Campaign. Owing to the fact that the coming campaign is absorbing all the time of Governor Dnrbin and other intended speakers, the annual reunion of the 101st regiment, which was ; to have occurred in October, wilL ;not occur thi year, but will be held next v?ar on an elaborate scale. HIGH SCHOOL. The High School Paskvt Pall candidates met yesterday at 11:30. The meeting was called to' order by Chairman Decker.
