Dl,EtposIT N, Y, May SIT is just made
puolic that an attempt was made on the night
OF hprl ~ to throw express train No. II, on
the Eric railway off the track near Deposit N. Y
Inc tram was descending the summit grade
ana approaching this station, when atSeward' 5
crossing 1t ran into some distractions. Its
weight and speed, however, overcame the re-
.SIstancc and the danger, was escaped. The
Waterman at once began removing the obstruc-
tons when he was assailed by shower of stones
from the wood on the side of the road and was
compelled to abandon the work and procure
assistance: The train was more than usually
heavy and contained the directors car upon
which were Gould, Fisk and several others on
their way to the city to assist In arranging a
new time table. If the effort had been success
tul 1t would have been attended with 4 great
loss of life The grade here is fifty feet to the
mile and the speed of the train 10 to so miles
an hour.
