    3. Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, October 27, 1893, p. 4. There came near being a serious wreck Wednesday evening, at Gosport. The stone train of the Monon was at work switching, preparatory to returning to Bloomington, when the I. and V. passenger train from the north dashed into it. Two Monon flat cars were thrown from the track and more or less demolished, and the I. & V. engine was badly damaged. By jumping, the engineer and fireman saved themselves from injury. The track was blockaded, and the morning train, due here at 6:45 did not arrive until 8 o'clock. Constance T.
