The Rensselaer Athletics made a miserable showing at the college grounds Sunday afternoon when they, met the St. Joe boys. Swartzell started in to pitch and there was a series of misplays, absentmindedness and dumheadedness behind him that would have discouraged -any pitcher. He soon left the box and Van Huff took his place. Van was somewhat of a joke on the rubber a.nd when he heaved up his first bail it went sc ■wild that the score keepers on the left players’ bench had to duck their heads to keep from getting hit. He passed the players up in one, two, three order, and the spectators left in disgust. Finally Morgan, who had already taken a turn at first and short, went in and pitched an inning or two with Jess Wilcox behind the bat, Elmer Wilcox at short and Parcells on first. It worked just as well or better than the first line-up. There Is really no wonder that the boys can not play; they have had no practice and some of them have not had a ball in their hands this year. There is no coaching and no leadership and no organization. Elmer Wilcox played well but needs practice or throwing to second; Swartzell and Morgan are all right, and Lee Kepner made a favorable impression in left field. He backed up both 3d and 'ißhort handily and made seveial accurate throws. He also got one hit and made a good sacrifice. Ray Parks and Terrance Thompson and Jess Wilcox can make good with experience, and there are a number of other youngsters who have a jhance If a “peerless leader” can be found The score was, St. Joe 13; Athletics 2.

Close Cell for a Monon Passenger Train.

Hammond' Times. ■the south-boiind Mdnon passenger' train, No.' 35, which gets Into Hammond from ’ Chicago at 12:17 a. m., was wrecked this morning at the bridge over the Grand Calumet river in Hammond, and had it not been for the fact that the engineer Was obeying explicit instructions to go over this bridge at a snail’s pace, it is probable that one of the worst wrecks in the history of the road would have resulted. The accident was caused by the storm. There was a quantity of structural steel in the vicinity of the bridge, which is being put into the new bascule bridge, now being constructed. • It is believed the wind blew one oi the heavy steel girders and it rested across the track on the fireman’s side. When the train came across the bridge the engine struck the piece of steel and the derailing of the engine resulted. The pilot of the locomotive was broken as was the engine beam. As soon as the accident Occurred an engine was sent for and the train was sent through Hammond over the Erie. The wrecked engine was not replaced on the rails until 7 o’clock this morning. All of the trains from the south were delayed for an hour or more before they were finally given a through route to Chicago. '•* The passengers in the sleeper of the Monon train were unaware of the danger to which they had been subjected and did not know that they had been very near death until they arrived in Indianapolis.

Notes of Interest to Poultry Raisers.

It would be a great advantage if one were able to determine in some manner whether an eg& is fertile oi sterile before being incubated, as then all those that did not contain a germ could be sold as newlaid. There jhave been a great may theories in regard to this matter, but they nearly all fail when put to the practical test. An old farmer once said that every egg laid before midday wai fertile, and every one after this tim sterile. The only theory which seems to contain a grain of common sense was that related by an old Irish woman. She stated that if the broad end of a new-laid egg was held to the mouth and inclosed with the lips, and gently breathed upon, and it gave back heat if it was fertile, whereas if it was infertile it remained quite cold. There seems sense in this, for where there is life there must be heat and out of a large number she tested she was right in every one.

"The chaff from- the barn floor thrown under a dry shed for the hens to'scratch over for seeds and fine bits of hay is worth a great deal and can not be put to a better purpose than to be fed to laying hens.' Have the setting hens So arranged that they can not be disturbed by the other hens and so they can come off and go on at their will. Have a supply of corn, grit and fresh water where they can get at it whenever they can come off. They Will “ help themselves.

A Little Girl Was Unconsciously Right.

A little girl, 5 years of age, was attracted this morning by the ringing of the church l ells and asked her parents what It meant. "Why,” said her father, “there is going to be an election today to see whether this county shall be wet or dry.” "Well, I’m glad of it,” said the little one, “and I do hope it will be dry, we are having too much wet weather to suit me.”
