CLINTON. Ind, Nov. 7.-Ex-Justice of
the Peace f. w. Hamilton, who is now a
coal miner, employed at Hazel Creek mine
No. 2, was terribly crushed and. perhaps
fatally injured by being caught beneath
a descending cage at the bottom of the
shaft at 5 o'clock this evening. Hamilton
was at the cross entries at the bottom of
the shaft, and started for another part Of
the mine. Instead Of going through the
manway. as directed by the rules of the
mines, he attempted to cross over the bot
tom of the main shaft. He was about half
way across when he was caught by a cage
descending at a rapid rate. He was crushed
to the ground, and a small depression at
the landing is all that prevented him from
being crushed to a pulp. He fell into this
hole, where he remained with part of the
cage MASKING him until men came to his
rescue and the cage was hoisted. When
taken to the top of the shaft he was uncon-
scious. 1t was thought he could live but a
few moments. He was taken to his home
and DIR. Nebeker found him seriously
bruised about the head, face. shoulders and
hips. 1t is believed he sustained fatal in
ternal injuries. He is still alive. Mr.. Ham,

twenty yards, the oval was carried steadily
through Wabash's line and Sleek went over
the goal line in four and one-half minutes.
The bali was kicked from the line. but Wa
bash touched IL, saving a Eick. Scott re-
turned the next kick and /. IT,. gained the
ban on downs. Hunt made a fine forty
yard run. King and Youtsler made long
gains and Hunt went over the line after
six minutes of play. Scott converted the
touchdown. Hunt made repeated brilliant
runs. Twelve more points were added TO
Indiana's score before tine was called for
the first half, Scott converting the two
~touchdowns into goals in splendid fashion.
Patterson went into the game for Wabash
early in the first half. but his presence did
not materially confuse Indiana. Forty and
twenty-yard runs were made by Clouser,
and. constitute the only large gains made
by wabash. The first hall closed with the

Only thirteen minutes were played in the

INTERCHANGEABLE TICKETS.
Eastern Railways Likely to Follow

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The Big Four to-day
put into use on it's lines an interchangea-
BILE ticket which is more extensive than any
ticket of the kind ever before used in the
West. The travelling men, who have been
the earnest petitioners for this form of
ticket nave kept up the fight for the inter-
changeable ticket ever since the Eastern
roads some time & decided to take the
tickets off the market. The Big Four ticket
is good over all the connections of the road.
1t is likely that in the near future all of
the Eastern roads will put the interchange
able ticket into use once more. The West
ern roads are about to push their attempt
to have their physical pool legalized at the
coming session of Congress
The United States Circuit Court has al
ready declared that u a pool as the
roads have been conducting is not illegal.
but the roads want the principle clearly in
dorsed by the law before they carry on
their work further under the provisions of
the pool. AS the coming session of Con-
gress is likely to be a short one, the roads
will lose no time in making their fight for
the pool. The net earnings of the Northern
Pacific for the year ending June 80 were
