Fourteen Killed and Fifty Injured on the Wabash. A terrible wreck, one of the worst in Indiana for years, occurred Tuesday night on Wabash railroad, near Cass, a small station 5 or 6 miles east of Logansport. A west bound train, an hour late and going at a high rate of speed, went down with a 80 foot trestle, which bad been undermined by the heavy rains. Fourteen persons were killed and 50 iniured, several of the latter fatally. Twelve of the killed and also the greater portion of the injured were immigrants mostly Italians. Of the two Americans killed one was E. T. Clough, the express messenger, of Lafayette. The other was a woman from New ATork. The train was very badly used up.
