The DSS&A Directors
Wednesday there were two extra cars attached to C&NW passenger No. 1. They were the ''Monon'' of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Ry., and No. 25 of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Ry.
-the Nickle Plate line. The cars contained the directors of the DSS&A, of which the MH&O is a part. The two cars were attached to engine no. 39 of the MH&O and baggage car no. 18, and were taken to Houghton in charge of engineer McCormick and conductor Johnson.
Manager John Hornby, of the MH&O met the directors here and accompanied them over the western portion of the road. The visit of the directors is for the purpose of looking over the two roads which will form a part of their new trunk line.
