WANTS
NICE SECRET
QUARTERS

The Democratic club of Hammond is
looking for a location for a permanent
headquarters. 1t is understood that
sort of a Tammany hall is planned
where the bosses may congregate and
talk over the distribution of local pat
ronage and frame up the schemes that
will result in further local successes.
Efforts have been made. in various
parts of the city to secure a sequestered
location. where the councils of the par
ty might be held and where deals of
various and sundry kinds could be
framed up.
Some of the republicans have sug-
gested that the quarters should be di-
vided into two sections-one for the
Simon adherents and one for the Beck
er adherents. An asbestos curtain
might be placed between the two sec
tions and in the event of political fire
by spontaneous combustion the curtain
could be hastily lowered
But at any rate the big bosses are
looking for political wigwam and are
open to suggestions. The specifications
must also include a secret passage
way to a hidden chamber for the use o1
demo republicans.

COSTLY
WRECK ON

Passenger and Freight Meet
on Same Track at Monon;
Open Switch the Cause
None of the Passengers
Are Injured This Time.

An open switch was responsible for
costly wreck on the Monon railroad
at Monon yesterday morning at 1850
o'clock 1t was a collision between
passenger train No. 35, south-b bound, on
the air line. and freight No. go, north
bound. on the main line. Both trains
were in motion when they met on the
main track near the coal shutes and
both. engines and all of the passenger
train except the sleepers left the track.
The cars were caught by a stone wall,
which extends along the track and

Remarkable wreck.
A remarkable thing about the wreck
is the fact that none of the passengers
was injured sufficiently to require the
services of a surgeon The report re-
ceived by the officials states that only
one person was hut, and that was F.
Miller, engineer of the passenger train,
who now lives In Indianapolis. His
knee and foot were hurt, but not seri-
ously. Charles Cook. OF Indianapolis,
fireman on the passenger train. was
bruised.
Long Passing Track.
There is a long passing track where
the accident happened. This passing
track has a cut-off for the main line
near the center. At the time of the ac-
cident the passing track was clear and
was being used by the freight train.
she passenger train was coming down
the main line. When the freight train
reached the cutoff the switch was
thrown the wrong way and the train
pulled in on the main track in front OF
the passenger train. The trains were
so close together when the mistake
was discovered that it was impossible
for the engineers to stop.
