BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL,
BEDFORD, INDIANA, FRIDAY, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1900. THE STORM. The storm Friday evening was the most severe that we have had for some time. There was a strong wind, the air was filled with electricity, and the rain fell in torrents, accompanied by hail in spots. Mrs. Tan IKERD's house in the eastern part of town, occupied by William BAILEY and wife and Andy FINE and wife was struck by lightning. The bolt hit the chimney, demolished it down to the roof, and drove soot and ashes over the rooms. A sheet iron flue hole stopper in the chimney was blown into bits. The report is described by the inmates as resembling that of a shotgun. They were stunned, but not hurt. This same house was struck five or six years ago, but nobody was injured.

BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL, BEDFORD, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DEC. 28, 1900. ... RAILROAD RACKET. Chas. BISHOP, an old time railroad man, and for many years a Conductor on the old O. & M. road, was in town Wednesday, renewing old acquaintances. Marion JACOBS returned to Terre Haute last Wednesday, where he is working on the Southern Indiana round-house, after spending Christmas in this city. Charlie IKERD, of this city, who has been firing on the switch engine on the S. I. has been placed on one of the passenger trains, and is now located at Terre Haute. The Southern Indiana has just completed a large reservoir at Lewis and is putting in a large pumping plant at that station, thus securing water that is soft and free from boiler-corroding elements. John QUEEN returned to Terre Haute Wednesday where he is working on the Southern Indiana round-house. He came home to spend Christmas with his family. Richard ROWLAND, Master Carpenter, who is superintending the work of building the Southern Indian round house at Terre Haute, returned to that place Wednesday after spending Christmas in this city with his family. Only one train will hereafter be allowed in the Hoosac tunnel at a time, except in the case of light passenger trains. This regulation is to mitigate the annoyance from smoke. This tunnel is five miles long, has a double track throughout. The Appellate Court holds that an injured employee of a railroad company cannot accept the benefits from the relief department of the road, of which he is a member, and also maintain an action at law for his injuries against the same company. Judge FIELD, General Solicitor of the Monon lines, has just completed his eleventh year in that position, and states that during that period there has not been a time when the company was as free from litigation as now. There are a few personal injury cases pending and claims for stock killed. Quite recently three important suits were decided in favor of the Monon where heavy damages were claimed. The report that Fred F. PALMER, formerly an Engineer on the Southern Indiana, who left here for Texas and Old Mexico some time ago, had been killed in the Southwest, turns out to be a mistake. Master Mechanic KILDOYLE, of the Monon shop here, investigated the rumor, and soon received a letter from Mr. PALMER, who declared that so far as he was able to judge he was alive, though his stomach was still full of smoke from his engine getting stuck in a long tunnel, where all the trainmen were almost suffocated before PALMER succeeded in backing the train out. Mr. PALMER is now running an engine on the Norfolk and Western railroad, in "Ol' Virginny." Monon stock has been going up at a lively rate, until now the common has reached 27 and preferred 64. Heavy sales have recently been made in New York, and its present strength is attributed to the Morgan interests. It is stated that the road will wind up the year with a surplus amounting to $722,821. This would be sufficient to pay 5 per cent on the preferred and 4 97 per cent on the common. It is also stated that a close traffic arrangement is being formed between the Southern railway and the Monon, whereby each company will throw all of its business to the other. This has been brought about by J. P. Morgan & Co., who have secured practical control of the Monon stock.
