Mishap on the Monon.

An accident occured on the Monon at Cambria early Thursday morning that blocked the track for several hours. The south-bound midnight train bad taken the siding and after the passage of the north bound train attempted to back onto the main track. The derailing switch had not been replaced, however, and before the train could come to a stop the sleepers on the rear end had been pushed off into the ditch, No very material damage was done beyond blocking the track for about ten hours. The fast mail trains between Chicago and In* dianapolis were sent through by , way of Lafayette.
