ATTEMPT TO THROW THE TRAIN Orr
THE TRACK A diabolical attempt to
throw the train off the track on tie Eb.
& Cresson Railroad was made on Monday,
at point short distance north Of Mum
ster. Several fence-rails were carefully
laid across the track, and rendered solid
and stationary by large number of stones
piled on top. The 6-o'clock train ran
into the obstruction, but, although under
good headway, was not thrown from the
track, and no damage was done. No pun
ishment could be too severe for the wretch
who could thus trife with the lives of
carload of passengers.
