Attempt to Wreck a Train.

COLUMBUS. o., Aug. 30.-An attempt was
made this morning to wreck Pittsburg
and Cincinnati express on the Midland rail-
road, thirteen miles west of this city. At
that point the track Gu rves around a deep
ditch, and two railroad ties and heavy
rock were so arranged as to throw the train
into the ditch. The train was filled with
passengers and moving at high rate of
speed. The engineer did not see the OBJ
structiOn until nearly on to it. and immedi-
ately applied the air-brakes to the train
and driver-brakes to the engine, but the
momentum of the train was so great that
the engine which was derailed, ran along
the ties for distance of sixth of a mile.
The rest of the train was not affected i'm the
least, and few of the passengers were aware
of the trouble. No clew to the perpetrators.

LONDON. Aug. 30.-Mr. Robert Wallace,
member of Parliament for Edinburg, in an
interview to-day, said: The Nationalists
seem to think that having got Gladstone,
they have got all Liberalism. Not 80. The

eyes at the proposal to Haunt the scarlet
woman. The attempt to endow an Irish
Catholic university will rally under one
banner all the enemies of denominational-
ism." Mr.. Edmund Robertson. member
from Dundee. beng interviewed on the
same subject, said the Liberals would fight
to man if the proposal retained anything
like it's present form. If the government
and the Nationalists meant business it
would be hard fight, and he should not

Caught In n Flooded Mine.

CUMBERLAND. Md, Aug. 3O.-Word
reached here at noon to-day that forty
miners at work in the Allegheny mine, near
Frostburg, had been shut in and probably
drowned. Water had broken in from the
abandoned Etna mine, and had driven the
miners further away from the main head
way. Excitement ran high and crowds
ing in the majority. After two. hours of
suspense, William Stevens and Hugh Meen
entered the main headway and. wading
through the water. finally discovered the
miners mile away from the opening. All
were rescued. The water began issuing
into the mine early in the morning, and the
men were afraid to attempt to escape, as
they were working some distance from the
opening and were ignorant of the cause
Several animals are still in the mine and
will probably perish.

knows that he can be as ugly as his satanic

his schemes for making money in Boston
were blocked he has been drinking more

that he was no match for the champion in
a rough and tumble fight. and. as he was
