kttnmnt to Wreck ~ Train

Attempt to Wreck "a rain.
PI~rTsBURG, Aug. 1S.-A most dastardly
and cold-blooded attempt to wreck a train
was made last night at the first trestle this
side of Allequippi Station on the Pittsburg
& Lake Erie Railroad. At Allequippi yes
terday there was a picnic, which was at
tended by l 900 or more men, women and
children, filling half a dozen coaches.
On the return from Allequippi the train
was going at a rapid rate, and just be-
fore entering the first trestle the engineer
discovered a large beam lying across the
track. The discovery was made just in
time to enable him to stop the train. Had
his attention been attracted in Sanother
direction but for q moment before he saw
the obstruction the train would have been
precipitated to the ground below, a dis
lance of 40 feet, and there would have
been a terrible loss of life. There is no
clue to the person who put the obstruction
on the track, and the motive is not known.
