Marqcette, Mich., June 14.- A Chicago & Northwestern train broke in two near Norway yesterday and Brakeman Parker was thrown across the rails and mangled beyond recognition. The forward part of the train rushed past Norway, but was checked and was returned to re-connect with the detached end. The switchman failed to close the switch, and as the train was nearing the station at a high rate ol speed it dashed off the rails, nearly demolishing the depot and piling the ore cars tweuty feet high, destroying many of them.
