THE WORK OF TRAMPs.
Attempt to Wreck the Portland Pull
man Train Near Salem.

As the o'clock Pullman train from Bos-
ton for Bangor and st. John was running
through Swampscott to Salem Tuesday
evening, it picked up q railroad tie and car
ried it along the rails nearly into Salem
depot, when it slipped round the pilot and
caught against switch between the depot
platforms, throwing off the forward trucks
of engine Wellington, No. 1913, which was
attached to the train. The momentum of
the train carried the locomotive into the
depot. The noise of the rending and tearing
of planks as the locomotive ran off upon the
planking in the station attracted great
crowd and startled every one in the depot.
The engineer did everything in his power to
bring his train up. He did not feel the OBJ
struction until the tie caught in the switch,
causing the sparks to fly from his engine
wheels. Fortunately nobody was hurt The
Pullman train was delayed a little over an
hour. The train does not stop at Salem, but
slows down to ten or twelve miles per hour
on account of the railroad tunnel 1t is be-
lieved the obstacle was placed ON the track
