A STRANGE STORY.
A War Attempts 80 s,cnI an Engine.

On Wednesday evening, the train on
the Knoxville and Ohio railroad arrived at
Cai~yviiie oil time, but iad asreat deal vi
switching around to do as there were
number of empty flats on the track which
had to be moved out of the way to let the
morning train pass They also had
a number of loaded cars which they had
to move this side of the tunnel, so as to
get over the grade enabling them to take
a larger train in the morning. For this
purpose they had left number of empty
cars this side of the Careyvilleldepot about
three hundred yards or so on the depot
track, and thus clearing the main track.
The engine, the Tennessee had been
turned before the engineer Mr.. VIM.
Brown, went TO his supper, and was prop
erly headed towards Knoxville. Having
gotten everything ready for the purpose of
moving out the loaded cars, the engineer
and other train hands went to their board
ing house for supper, leaving the engine
without guard, not dreaming that any
one would modest anything about it. Yet
it seems that some one wished to take
ride, either for the purpose of coming on
to Knoxville, or merely for The fun of run
ming an engine. The man, whoever he was
uncoupled the tender from the baggage
ear, took his stand in the engine and start
ed off at full speed at the rate Of about ten
miles an hour, not knowing of the
empty cars being ahead. He was soon at
the lend of his rope" and came to n sud-
den stand still, or rather ran with all the
power of the engine into these empty cars
The engine was considerably injured,
breaking out the entire front, and bursting
up the head light, while one of the side
and one of the end sills of the car was
broken, as we'll rs the front trucks being
knocked from out of their places back
against the rear trucks and n bumper
was broken on the next car He reversed
the engine and brought her back to the
depot and there left it in a dilapidated
condition, with reversed lever and tine
| tender brake on.
! They have no idea as to the guilty party,
| hut are certain it must have been some one
well acquainted with the use of an engine,
and hope that they may yet he able to fer
ret out the perpetrator of this shameful
! outrage.
The engineer, out OF some lumber, con-
! strucled front for his engine and used il,
although in this torn UP condition, in
bringing back his train to Knoxville yes
terday morning, arriving only about Is
/ minutes behind time.

that while so many other cities have been
scourged with this noisome pestilence, our

cases. Our lives are in His hands, though

pestilence that walketh in darkness.
