Chicago Nov. 2S.-The Inter-Ocean

many years, A. T. Bliss, governor of
Michigan, heard himself called an un-
complimentary name last night with
out resenting it. The person to give
the affront was a bell boy at the Pal

for a moment. and those who witnessed
the affair expected him to chastise the
offender Instead he shook hands with
him. and told him he was "all right

The boy turned his back on the gov

recovered his breath he started after
him, and in three long strides was at
his side.

1t Causes the Wreck of the st.
Louis Flyer.
Big Four Train Rolls Down an
Embankment.
THREE BADLY INJURED
A Dozen or More Passengers
Slightly Hurt.
Rear Sleeper Rolled Over Twice
While Going Down.

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov 2S.-Passenger
train No. 43. the St. Louis flyer on the
Big Four. was wrecked at 1870 this
morning on a high embankment a half
mile west of Avon. Hendricks county.
and six miles east of Danville. Three
passengers were injured and dozen or
more were slightly hurt, but none ia
tally.
The train was running at high speed
and struck a broken rail. The engine
and two mail cars got over safely. but
the other cars left the track. The New
York sleeper on the rear end rolled over
twice and down the embankment of 25
feet, landing bottom side up. 1t con-
tanned three passengers, the porter and
conductor. The sleeper next to it was
from Cleveland. In it were II pas
sengers. This car turned completely
over but remained at the top of the en-
bankment. The imprisoned passengers
got out by breaking one of the windows,
and all escaped with slight injuries. The
next sleeper broke down at the forward
end and stood across the track. No one
in this car was hurt. The two forward
cars next to the mail cars left the track
but did not turn over.
A telephone on an adjoining farm was
used to send for help. Danville was no.
titled first and every available surgeon
in the town was sent at once to the.
wreck At the same time Indianapolis
wrecking crew was made up as hastily
as possible.
At o'clock this morning the train
had been searched and all the passengers
had been accounted for. They were put
into the mail cars and taken to Dan
vile. Arrangements were at once madS
to take them on west, as all were able
to travel. They will reach st. Louis at
noon
A partial list of the injured is as fol-
lows:
Mrs Anna Englehart. Middleport, o..
terribly cut about the head; injuries
may be fatal.
Mrs Stephen Englehart, Middleport.

? Samuel Ellis. Jersey City. N J., por-
ter Pullman car, arms sprained and
hand mashed.
The others were only slightly injured.
WRECKED AGAIN.
The train was delayed until o'clock
a. m. Then a new train was made UP
and the run to st. Louis was resumed.
The train was running at a high rate of
speed 35 miles beyond the scene of the
first wreck when it ran into an open
switch at Cariban. The engineer saw
the danger but was running too fast to
stop. The front trucks of the engine
left the track and another delay was
caused. Nobody was hurt in the sec
ond wreck and little damage was done.
All the persons injured near Danvilie
were taken to ST Louis in charge of Or.
Ford, the company surgeon. All will
| recover.

THRIFT IN THE ARMY.
Secretary Root to Recommend Plan
for Its Encouragement.

Washington. Nov. 2S-A subject which
will receive no little attention at The
hands of Secretary Root in his forthcom-
ing report is the encoura cement of thrift
among officers of the army. To this end
The secretary will recon mend the extern
sion to officers of the same privilege now
enjoyed by enlisted men. of keeping a de-
Dosit account with the paymaster. The
enlisted men, under the provisions of the
act of 1872 authorizing the acceptance of
deposits of s. and upwards. and allowing
{ per cent interest on semi-annual bal
ances of not less than $50, have laid away
some $4,oo0. 900. Probably such an amount
could not be scraped together among the
officers, but it is considered that an Off
Ger receiving SlCG or so in excess of his
immediate needs ought to have a chance
to invest it. and, as there are no savings
banks or other investment openings for
such small sums in most parts of the
world where we have permanent military
stations. paymaster's deposit system
would be a godsend.
Secretary Root will also give brief
review of the history of military uni
forms. showing the development of the
idea from gorgeousness towards incon-
spicuousness, and the causes for the
changes made from time to time.

Washington came. and the conference,
which was started in the presidents ex-
ecutive Office and was changed to his
private office, because of repeated inter
ruptions, continued for flve hours.
In the midst of the conference be-

lunch was sent in to the chief executive
of the nation. Desiring to continue the
conversation, and rather than lose the
time necessary for Washington to go
to lunch, President Roosevelt thereupon
ordered that lunch be served to the n.-
gro educator in the same room.
Now, this was all there was to that
story. Washington did rot dine at the
White House table, did not break bread
with the presidents wife and daughter,
and was in no sense a guest upon equal

Asked why the president had never
seen fit to have this statement made

Because he is too great man. He
believed it was beneath him to deny a
