ENGINE SMASHED.
Train Wreckers Ditch a Fast Cana
dian Pacific Express.

ST. JOHN, N. B., September 3O.-Word
reached here late last night that train
wreckers have ditched the fast Canadian
Pacific express from Halifax, near Ana
gance, 60 miles from st. John. The road is
blocked and definite information Is lacking.
What does come indicates that sleepers were
fastened to the rails and the engine was
smashed into fragments. The baggage car
was also damaged, but there Is yet no word
OF fatalities. The affair Is Of unusual inter
est. because some time ago at the same place
bolt was taken from the track, the switch
left open and the signal made to indicate that
all was well. That attempt was discovered.
