New Albany (IN) Evening Tribune, October 21, 1895, p. 3.
Less than one dozen men are now employed at the Monon machine shops in this
city. Last night over fifty left for the new shops at Lafayette making
nearly or quite 200 residents of the city who will leave the city. Many of
them will leave their families here for the present. The shops in this city
will be practically abandoned except for a little repair work. The loss to
this city will be very severely felt as the payroll of the company was
nearly $25,000 per month.
