MIA, Iniuring Many People.

Chestertown, Ind. Sept. 14.-One is
dead, several in a dying condition and
forty injured is the result of a rear
end collision at . o'clock this morn
ing between a theater accommodation
train running on the Lake Shore out
of Chicago, and the rear coaches of a
L. z. & w. excursion train bringing
excursionists back to Indianapolis
from Chicago.
Relief parties removed the injured

crime Gill, Paul Miller, Mrs. Paul Mil
Ter, all of Indianapolis, William Gil
man, Chicago. and Samuel Stanfield
of Franklin, Pa.
Twenty-three of the injured were
residents of indianapolis.
The accident was probably due to a
heavy mist which hid the excursion
from view. The excursion train had
come almost to stop at Chesterton
when the east bound Lake Shore en-
gine crashed into the rear coach, tel
escoping it half length. The engine
itself was badly wrecked. The ex
cursionists in the rear coach were
caught without warning and crushed
among the seats.
The passengers from the forward
cars did heroic work in rescuing tht
injured, and many OF tho less serious
ly hurt were able to proceed to In.
dianapolis on later train aftel
their injuries had received temporary
attention. None of the cars of the &C
commodation train left the track.
An investigation is being made BY
the railroad officers. Nearly one
thousand tinckets were sold for tn,
Sunday excursion to Chicago and re
turn and the train was run in two sec
tions. The second section was badl!
behind its schedule when the wraccl
occurred.

winter and spring term of 1903 and
1909. There was a large increase in
attendance in all the districts. AL
though the exact enrolment cannot
be determined until tomorrow, it IS
known that it will be about 100 over
last year.
At the different schools there have
been a number of changes in the fac
ulty. At the high school c. w. Knouff
is the new principal. He comes from
Wabash. George Hamilton will have
charge of the latin department. Ar
thur l.. Murray who comes from Mum
Gle, takes Miss Mering's place and
Miss Francisco will assist him. The
school board is confident that the fac
ultoy at the high school this year is
the strongest in the history of the
school.
At the Garfield school Miss Gather
inc Reese has taken the place of Mr..
". o. Wissler who has been trans
ferred to the principalship of Fanley
school. Prof. ]. o. Boggs, teacher
last year in the Greenville high school
will have charge of the history
classes. There are a number of other
changes in the grade schools.
Affairs started with a rush at the
high school. For the first time in
many years chapel exercises were held
and different members of the school
board gave short talks on the work of
the coming year.
Roy J. Horton physical director of
the Y. NJ. c. A. has been secured by
the school board to have charge of the
athletics at the school this fall and
he gave short talk on his plans He
said that 1t is up to the boys of the
school to give their support to the
athletics and it is up to the girls to at.
tend the games.
Among the others who gave short
talks was Lee B. Nusbaum who said
The school board this year has a
number of plans that are to be inau.
gurated in the school this year and
we hope they will prove beneficial
The new school building will be open.

TWENTY-NINE INJURED.
An Erie Passenger Train Leaves the
Rails, Sunday.

Meadville, Pa, Sept. 14.-Erie train
No. 4, a fats train from Chicago to
New York, Albany and Boston. due
to arrive here at a. m, was ditched
five miles south of this city early Sum-
day morning.
Twenty-seven passengers, the engin-
eer and fireman were severely injured.
1t is thought they will recover.
The cause of the accident was given
by the officials of the road rs the turn
ing of the switch by wreckers.
The entire train left the rails, and
that the death list does not reach at
least fifty seems almost a miracle.
The train was fifteen minutes late.
The injured were brought to this
city and placed in Spencer hospital.
The fireman of the train. John McDill,
was the worst hurt but will recover.

Truth is stranger than fiction"
Today the Rev. Samuel w. Traum,
pastor of the local Christian church,
left with his sister, Mrs. Harry Hum
bert, from her home at Howard. O.,
for Walhonding, O., to visit their par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Traum.
Mrs. Humbert is assured of a cordial
reception but the Rev. Traum is in
doubt as to the reception he will re-
ceive, especially from his father, who
disowned him over twenty years ago.
The Rev. Traum has been the
the time he was driven from home.
because of q religious dispute, he had
not seen her or heard from her. She
had lost all trace of him and until
about two weeks ago did not know
whether he was living or dead.
BY chance she learned that he was
pastor of a church in this city and
she Immediately sent for him to visit
her. He complied with her request
and after the reunion, she suggested
that he go with her to visit their par
ents at Walhonding. She told him
that she knew his mother would be
glad to see him. as for years she had
yearned for his return, but, said Mrs.
Humbert, there was some doubt as to
to him. Mrs. Humbert was not Ger.
tain whether the fathers heart had
softened toward his son. The Rev
Traum decided to go with his sister
to Walhonding and SO today they set
forth on the pilgrimage.
According to one of the Rev
Traum's friends, who is a leading
member of the Christian church. the
trouble between father and son came
about when the Rev. Traum was just
a lad, serving as an apprentice in his
fathers blacksmith shop. Traum the
senior, was a devote Catholic. One
day the son told the father that he
had renounced the Catholic church
and had embraced the belief of the
protestants. Beside himself with an
ger the Rev. Traum's father disowned
him and ordered him to leave home
Since that day the Rev. Traum has
not seen or heard of his parents.
The Rev. Traum became a wander
er, but within short time after he
had been driven from home he be
came acquainted with a wealthy man
who took an interest in the lad and
educated him at Hiram college, Ohio
The Rev. Traum after his graduation
entered the ministry of the Christian
church. He has been pastor Of the
local Christian church for about two
years and is very popular with his
congregation. About two weeks age
the Rev. Traum's brother-in-law. who
lives near Delaware, o.. traded some
stock with Harry Humbert, husband
of the Rev. Traum's sister. Just BY
chance Mr.. Humbert learned that the
Rev. Traum was in Richmond. He al
once notified his wife and she, be
side herself with happiness, wrote tc
her brother asking him to visit her al
her home at Howard. o.
