Cured about 7:45 o'clock Tuesday eve

No. GO, in charge Of Conductor Nuse;

Third avenue crossing, and at the
switch, just east of the crossing, box
car, loaded with coke, twenty-seven
cars back from the engine, jumped the
track. A coal car, following the car OF
coke, also left the track, the two plow-
ing along on the ties for a distance of
about 200 feet, when the car of coke was
overturned and lay on its side, across

turned. The wrecker was secured
shortly after the accident and the
tracks were cleared by, 2:30 this morn

Chicago g. Northwestern trainmen
are very much interested in the pros
.pectiye overland limited trains to be
placed into service on Nov. 3, as an
rounced in these columns Tuesday. The
placing on of the new ocean to ocean
trains will. undoubtedly, reorganize the,
runs somewhat, altho just what the
changes will be are not yet known to a
certainty 1t is thought, however, that
Nos. and IL, which now run only be-
tween Chicago and Cedar Rapids, will
go further west, probably to Boone and
perhaps thru to the Bluffs, No. Z reliev-
ing No. II, which will be made more OF a.
thru train. and will carry the chair cars
and coaches that are now on No. l..
Nos. / and 2, the overland limited trains.
will be made the ocean to ocean limit
eds, and will consequently carry no day
coaches OF any sort, being composed en-
tirely Of sleepers, dining, buffet and liz
brary cars. The east-bound local traf-
fic. or what little is now done on No. 2,
will be handled probably by No. g..
