Fixed Up Woodshed. Joseph Ralston, the man who lost his home by fire Wednesday night, is making rapid strides in an effort to secure a new home.

Another Explosion. . An explosion of gasoline caused a smalle blaze in the old Akron hotel building yesterday morning. The department was called and extinguished the flames before they had caused much damage. r FOOTBALL GOSSIP AGAIN SOME FACTS ABOUT EARLHAM'S WEAK SPOTS I JOHNNY CLARK IS HERE To Strengthen the Back Field No Fight on Only the Plain Facts Football News. Not withstanding Coach Brewer's statement in one of the local papers charge made by the Palladium that the back field of the Earlham football team .was not up to standard as far as speed and general offensive work was concerned and that Quarterback Wilson handled his team too slowly, wll because of inefficient coaching in that department, the fact remains that "Johnny" Clark, full back for the Quakers for the seasons of 1903 and 1902 and one of the fastest players that ever donned moleskins for the Quakers, put in his appeai-ance yesterday to coach the back field for the Do Pauw game Saturday. In Clark the Earlham team has what the Palladium advocated in a recent issue, a first class coach for the candidates trying for the back field positions. "Johnny" can instill a little of his ginger into the men and give them practical advantages of the coaching he received while playing with an Eastern preparatory school and while under the supervision of "Long John" Miller. It is not the intention of the Palladium to reflect on the ability of Coach Brewer, the work he has done for the line up is satisfactory, but after three weeks of training the hacks seem to be ignorant of their duties and the Palladium sporting editor as a loyal rooter suggests that a man acquainted with the inns and outs of back field playing be secured for the benefit of the men on the Earlham team playing these positions and the Palladium believes that this has been done. TO CAMBRIDGE Woodward Lodge of Odd Fellows Go This Evening. The Woodward Lodge of Odd Fellows' of this city will send a large delegation to Cambridge City this evening to attend the sixtieth anniversary of the Wayne Lodge, No. 7, of that city. Two special cars over the traction line will leave the city this evening, one at 5:55 and the other at 6:50.

ATTEMPT TO DITCH TRAIN PANHANDLE TRAIN NO. 6, HAS A NARROW ESCAPE. HEWS BEING SUPPRESSED The Story of the Malicious Attempt Has Just Come to Light Here. There has just come to light a das tardly attempt to wreck a Panhandle passenger train on the Richmond division, at Millgrove, in Blackford county, a few miles southeast of Hart ford City on Saturday night, iogansport detectives of the Panhandle and all other officers along the line are investigating the case and a strong effort will be made to locate and capture the perpetrators of the depredation, i The 'story is that sometime Saturday nght some person, or persons at Millgrove rolled from the platform of the station of that place directly into the middle of the Panhandle track, a barrel of oil and a large bundle of barbed wire. The daily Sunday morning passenger train No. 6, which arrives at Richmond at 4:05 a. m. came steaming past, and struck the obstructions head on knocking the bundle of wire off , thet rack and smashing the oil barrel and scattering the fluid over the surrounding territory as well as plastering the front of the engine. Luckilythe engine kept the track and the train passes without any damage. , Therf ire various theories as to the obstructions on the track,some believ ing that. it was thoughtless boys who did it, and; others; being of the opinion that, tramps who had been put off a freight train, placed the' stuff oh the t-ack for revenge. Whatever the niotive, it ;was equally dangerous and the . pjerpetrators will be given the limit .of the law, if found. SUES BIG FOUR FOR $30,000 ZIMMERMAN SAYS THE WRECK MADE HIM NERVOUS ENGINE GREW DEFENDANTS Attorneys Introduce as Evidence Half Tone Pictures of The Disaster. Indianapolis, October 13. Charles W. Zimmerman, who was a passenger on the Purdue special that was wreck" ed here a year ago has sued the Big Four for $30,000, charging that the scenes he witnessed on the memorable day have rendered him a nervous wreck. lie charged that before the wreck he was an ablebodied young man, taking part in the athletics at school and having a lively interest in his j education. His home is in Cumberlandv Md., and he says that he hoped I . . a VQtlirit. t . . lii.. 1 . .... rt r..iimn( .Hi f j engineer, for he says his home is sur rounded hv a rich mining territory, and for that reason he would have prospered greatly at his calling. But since the wreck, he charges, he has had no "nerve' nor daring and is weak and timid. He is afraid at night of imaginary impending dancers and can not dismiss from his mind the terrible scene in which his friends and associates were ground to death. It is charged in the complaint that the wreck was due to the fault of B. iC Byers of Kankakee, 111., the chief

train dispatcher, who is declared incompetent. William Shumaker and Edward J. Smith, who were in charge of the engine of the special train, are made defendants and it is charged that they violated a city ordinance and violated a rule of the company in running the train as fast as they are said to have run it. The complaint says the train was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Harvey, Pickens, Cox & Kahn, attorneys for Zimmerman, have presented a novelty in the complaint by illustrating it. In it are half-tone pictures of scenes at the wreck, show

ing how completely the front part of the train was demolished and showing the dead lying here and there on the ground in the debris. Rally Day. Rally Day services at Orange church next Sunday the 16th, the Sunday school has a complete program arranged, suited to the oecasiaon. A cordial invitation to all. AN IMPRESSION OF RICHMOND THAT WAS FAR FROM BEING RIGHT A MAN FROM MICHIGAN Advised to Go to a Wanner Climate They Thought That it Was Warm Here. J. F. May, of Boyne City, Michi heart trouble and . he was advised by his physicians to go to a warmer climate, no names being mentioned. May knowing that Richmond was the end of the G. R. & I. railway, thought of course that it must be very warm here. When the excursions came in from Michigan on Tuesday, May was on boai-d. and his stopping place was this city. He found it a great deal colder than he exepected and was very much surprised to find people wearing overcoats. He stopped at a hotel, but found the room so cold that he had to move to a private dwelling. Thursday morning he wandered about the city and Avas much surprised to see so few colored people. He finally stopped a good hearted resident of the city and told his troubles to the Richmondite. He frankly confessed that he thought Richmond was about as far south as any one could get and that he expected to be fairly eaten up by colored people when he arrived here. It did not seem possible to him when he learned that it snows most of the Avinter and that he would have a long trip to make before he would arrie in the real warm. climate of the south. He will probably leae the city today for one of the southern Avinter resorts. The arrangements for the celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary of the First English Lutheran church haA'e been postponed for tAvo weeks, owing to the illness of the pastor. The regular serA'ices Avill be held instead. LOOPING THE GAP Two Messenger Boys Amuse the Public Two messenger boys, August Goebel and Earl St. Clair amused the general public near Ninth and Main streets yesterday afternoon by looping the gap. The boys had placed t aa'o inclined planks in the center of the street and after a flying start would jump through the air from one plank to the other on their bicycles. After each performance they AA-ould pass the hat and in this way obtained enough money to keep them in Diamond Dicks and cigarettes for the rest of the week. Miss Mayme Grace is in the city the guest of Miss Franees Mitchell.
