Before another year has elapsed a
trolley line connecting Fort Wayne

.RAbE: HAS
SPLENDID
SCHEME
Hammond's Assistant Post
master Devises Plan by
Which Intercommunica-
tion Between Cities Can
Be Obtained.

Another move has been made by the
Hammond postoffice department to Sc
cure an inter-city exchange of mail be-
tween Hammond. East Chicago, Indi-
ana Harbor. Whiting and Gary
Assistant Postmaster Otto Rabe OF
Hammond has written a long letter to
the postoffice department at Washing
ton pointing out that there are several
cities in the Calumet region, which are
located all of the way from two to ten
miles apart. in which the postal serv-
ice requires all of the way from twelve
to twerSy-four hours for the dispatch
of a Letter.
Assistant Postmaster Rabe proposes
that one of the cities of the region.
preferably East Chicago because of its
central location. be selected as the
clearing station.
If this were done a letter from Ham,
mond to Indiana Harbor would be sent
to East Chicago by the Green line and
transferred to the Chicago, Lake Shore
& South Bend line. where 1t would be
taken to Indiana Harbor in the fraction
of an hour.
Would Help Gary.
A letter from Whiting to Hammond
could be sent to East Chicago by a
East Chica go Hammond branch of the
same line and the time of transit would
not be over an hour.
letter from Gary NO Hammond
could be sent In pouch over either the
South Shore line to East Chicago and
transferred to the Green line at East
Chicago. or 1t could be sent direct by
the Gary & Interurban Tine.
There are a score of other combf-
nations that could be worked that
would greatly facilitate the transporta-
alton of mall between the cities of the
region.
Gary. for instance. has no north and
south railroad, and letters sent to Ham
mond and transferred to the Monon
at that city would arrive at Indiana
polls several hours sooner than they
do now.
This is an improvement that Assist
ant Postmaster Otto Rabe thinks ought
to be made at once, and he has done all
in his power to bring about the inn
provement. 1t would make it possible
to write a letter in one city of the re-
gion to the other and receive an an
swer the same day.
The plan was taken up on a former
occasion and East Chicago was Sc
lected as the clearing house for the
mail bound for the various cities I'm the
region, but the East Chicago postmast-
er threw cold water on the plan by
stating that the office could not take
care of the business. Now that Nose
Specter is postmaster at East Chicago
it is hoped that this much needed ar
rangement can be made.

Crown Point, June 17.-(Special.)
The most peculiar automobile ac-

south of this place last night in
which the wheel of a wrecked car
hurled from the car lodged in an
other car and nearly wrecked the
latter.
While returning to Lowell last
evening in his automobile Chas.

endangered his life and that of his
wife and child. and Mrs. Love, all
being occupants of the machine at
the time of the peculiar accident.
Mr.. Bailey was going at good rate

miraculously escaped serious injury al

Tom Lassen was driving by in his auto
mobile when the disengaged wheel
from the Bailey machine circled clear
around the car driven by Lassen and
lodged itself against the tenders of
the latter car and tore them off one
side.
The latter accident is one OF the most
peculiar ever recorded and possibly the
same would not occur again in a thous-
and years. The Bailey party telephone
ed to town for assistance and were
taken to Lowell in another machine.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

IL victory does not perch on the ban
ner OF the Democrats OF Mercer coun.
ty, and Beaver Pond district at the
fall elections, 1t will not be because
the party has failed to name good
sound, clean tickets. So far the Re-
publican press OF the county has not
had word derogatory concerning
the county ticket-in fact it couldn't
have-but on the contrary, there have
been several admissions that good
men were named at Princeton.
While the district ticket is new i'm
