DESTRUCTION OF A RAILROAD TRAIN BY
Two MIsCREANTs.-A correspondent of the
Traveller writes from Springfield, Illinois.
under date Of May 10th, giving the following
description of a scene he witnessed near that
place
''Eighty-eight miles from Chicago is Spring
Greek. There we passed a wrecked engine
tender and three cars, tumbled down the EN-.
banKment and made into old iron and oven
wood. Those who do not believe in the de-
pravity of the human heart will please listen
to the story. "A conductor put two hard look
ing fellows from the train the week previous
They swore revenge, and on the night of the
18th stole crowbar from the company, re-
moved a rail, with the intention of precipi-
tating the train into the creek, and then lay
down in the woods to behold, with fiendish
delight the fatal plunge. On came the train
in the darkness, and in an instant all was
wreck. Strange to say, though there were
sixty persons on board-though the cars were
broken almost beyond the possibility of re-
pair, no one was injured. The miscreant
rushed out to obtain plunder, but were disap-
pointed, and subsequently found themselves
in the hands OF the officers of Justice"
