States Gazette, as the Northern train was
near Waterford, man was discovered ma
king away from the track at his greacst
speed. 1t was soon discovered that he had
been endeavoring to throw the train from
the track by driving stones in against the
rails. Determined to capture him the train
was stopped and chase made for the miscre-
ant. He had made for the bushes, but af-
ter him they went, through the thickets and
over fields, keeping up ahalf mile chase and
finally nabbing him. The pursuit was wit
messed by the passengers and the capture
greeted with cheers. The fellow was
brought back to the cars and put aboard
among very indignant body of people
He was soon after delivered over to the near
est police station. His excuse for the act
was that ho wished "to see the fire fly"

happily some common mans house.
