A Marvellous Escape

Danvllle, Va, Aug. S.-Last Wednesday
night the track of the Piedmont railway was
obstructed by crossties fastened upon it for
the purpose of wrecking the train, at an ex-
ceedingly dangerous point, known as the
state line trestle, seven miles south OF Dan
vile. The northward bound mail train,
crowded with passengers, made marvellous
escape from destruction. The railroad has
authorized the employment of detectives to
ferret the guilty wretches out, and Detective
Wren, Of Richmond, hasarrested two.negroes
employed as farm laborers near the scene,
VINO were formerly section hands on the
railroad. The evidence against them is said
to be conclusive. Their motive is believed
to be revenge against the section master for
discharging them from the railroad employ

abstains from irritating drink, like mineral
water, that he may fast four or five days
more-that is. up to next Saturday" His
strength seems to leave him during the early
morning hours, and at this time the watchers
are doubly careful lest signs of collapse
should begin TO show themselves. At one
time during the night there were no less than
ten physicians 10 the gallery. DR.. Tanner
seemed to wish for all the air he could posi-
bly, get, and had all the windows open for the
refreshing breeze during the night, which
was enjoyed very much BY him.
