AN ATTEMPT TO Blow Up FREIGHT TRAIN
wIrH ToRPEDo.- From the Chautauaua
(N. ~ Democrat Last Sunday the nitro
glycerine magazine of Roberts & Co., near
scrnbgrlss, was entered and robbed of q
fhrcc-quart torpedo. This was laid across
the track of the Allegheny Valley railway
with the view, probably, to throw the ar.
promoting through freight of the track for
the purpose of plumber. The cow-catcher
struck tic torpedo. and threw it off the rail.
AL explosion followed. which lifted one side
OF the locomotive clear Of the track. 1t is
likely that little of the contents Of the tor
pedo which Ind been spilled on the rail
caused the explosion. The tender aud first
treistlt-car passed the torpedo, but Jared
It down against the rail in such Il
position that the llangc OF The wheel. of the
second crushed and exploded it. The effect
was I" break the wheels OF the car to flinders.

an empty iron-tank carl. and pretty gene
ra'iy used up The car; to cut large piece
out of the rail, and eycavatc hole in the
ground as large as mans body. The tor
pedo was filled with Illuminating powder in
stead of nitro-glycerine. otherwise the ey-
piosion would have sent the train and all on

OCEAN PATHWAYS - COMMODORE NAraYS
IDEAS Is PRACTICAL suggestion made by
the late Professor VI. r. Maury. us LONE ago
Us 1876. that steamships sailing between this
country aud Europe adopt one route for Tho

company running four steamships week

known aS the "ianc route" and is intended
Doth to obyiatc collisions ana offer wider
range for opportunities to rescue crews from
disabled Vessels. At present eleven steam
ship lines use the &lmr path on both ways,
with nearly the same degrees Of latitude aud

minent, and the rapidly advancing travel and
commerce is daily increasing The number OF
steamers. The adoption of Professor Maury'S
