morning that Mildred with her cous,

were injured one perhaps fatally, OF
to Schoen of indianapolis. Most OF
the injuries sustained by these men
were caused by flying timbers and
other debris. The mail car swung
around with the force of the momeil-
tum, as it was passing the depot,
one story frame affair, and struck it
a glancing blow. careening it over.
1t also ploughed uD the entire length
of the station platform. No one was
in the station at the time of the acci-
dent.
Escape Miraculous.
The wreck occurred so quickly that
the passengers, many of whom were
retiring for the night, scarcely had
time to realize what had taken place.
Their narrow and fortunate escape
from death is regarded as miraculous
and the recollection of it causes all to
shudder.
Aid was Immediately summoned
and the wrecking trains from Indiana
polls and Richmond appeared on the
scene shortly after the accident. The
injured were carried to the Hotel Will
dey at Lewisville and were given in
slant medical attention by a score of
doctors who arrived from the neigh
boring towns and cities in special cars
and automobiles. 1t is supposed that
because of their great weight the Pull
man cars retained their position on
the track and this fact probably pre-
vented a catastrophe which would
have been equal to the Collinsville,
O., disaster of several weeks ago, in
which seven lives were lost.
Lawson In Charge.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor C. B. Lawson of Columbus. O.,
Ted McGrew, engineer, indianapolis
and E. c. Smith, fireman. Indianapc-
lis. The wreck was caused by bride
on the switch breaking and the blame
can be attached to no one. The day
coach directly back of the baggage
car crashed into the rear end of the
latter with terrific force and both cars
were badly battered up. The passen'
gers were thrown out of their seats
and from their berths in all directions,
some of them receiving cuts from the
flying glass. However none were ser
iously injured.
Frank M. Skinner of Indianapolis
was the only mail clerk who was not
injured. He was in the car that went
over the embankment and his ESCAPE
from injury is regarded as remark
| able. There were about fifty passen
gers on the train. it is estimated.
The debris was quickly cleared
away by the wrecking crews and traf
! fic was not seriously blocked. A bal
last train from Knightstown also ar
rived and helped to clear away the
wreckage. 1t is estimated that the
loss to the Pennsylvania company Wi!
reach $4,000 at least.

Sedgwick recently returned from his
plantation in Nicaragua and he is an
ardent hater of Zelsya.
According to the statement made
to me by Cannon he had been arrest
ed several months ago because Zelaya
alleged he was smuggling American
goods into Nicaragua. Before Cannon
was overpowered he gave about fiji
teen of Zelaya's miniature troopers a
harder battle than they had ever ex-
perienced in a revolution. Cannon
was over six feet tall and a perfect
athlete" continued Mr.. Sedgwick.
After his arrest Zelaya had Can

Imprisonment Cannon succeeded in
making his escape, how l do not

eventually to Guatemala
'On last Fourth of July I met Can

Makes Small Appropriation to
Permit the Drawing Up of
Plans of Institution for Un-
fortunateS.
SPECIAL SESSION TO
BE HELD NEXT MONTH
At Which Time a Location win
Be Decided on and an Ap-
preparation for Construction
Authorized.

AT the special session OF the county
council this morning. which was called
for the purpose of considering the SUBJ
ject of providing quarters for the in.
sane charges of the county, a resolu-
tion was passed and an appropriation
of $500 made for the preparation of
detailed plans for the county insane
quarters, which will cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,000.
The sense of the resolution was that
the county must care for it's unfortu-
mates until such a time as they can be-
come charges Of the state. Rightful-
ly, the insane are charges of the state.
but owing to the limited facilities the
state has for caring for the unfortu-
mates, the county must assume the bur-
den until the legislature gives relief.
Session in January.
The council could not take complete
action on the matter at this time for
several reasons. The most important
is that the council can not appropriate
money for next years work, at a spe.
cial session held this year.
However, this year the architects
will begin plans for the quarters, and
as soon after the first of the year as
practicable, the council will hold ar.
other special session and at that time
decide on the location of the quarters
accept plans and make the required ap
preparation for meeting the expense ot
erecting the quarters.
Three locations are under considera
tion. One is the county farm, recon.
mended by many citizens and Amos
Butler, secretary OF the state charita
BILE and correction society. Others
| would like to see the quarters located
near the Eastern Indiana hospital il
order that the assistance of the physi
| clans at the state institution might bt
called upon in times of need. The
| third location is the ground owned b,
the county. and adjoining the county
Jail. The members of the council hav.
not stated what location appeals mos
| to them.
Makes Tentative Plans.
Architect w. S. kaufman has al
ready prepared tentative plans for thu
quarters, which were reviewed by ths
council this morning. These provid,
for model quarters, such as the cottag
es erected under Mr.. Kaufman's direc
tion at Easthaven. Mr.. Kaufman
will now make plans more complete il
details than those shown to the coun
Gil this morning.
| The council is proceeding in a con
servative manner about the question
and already has held consultation
with Judge Fox of the circuit cour
and DR.. S. E. Smith, superintendent q
Eastern Indiana hospital.
| The council considered a few mino
appropriations, increasing some mad,
year ago. The amount of the appro
priations increased, ranged from S. Il
S75. An appropriation, amounting t
about 5000. was made for bridge work
The question of improving the bridg
on the marlborough pike, will be lef
until next year. inasmuch as the bridg
could not be completed this year.
