Steamboat Train.


Steamboat Train.
HARTFORD, July 3. - Superintendent
Davidson, Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, went TO Wilson's
station and investigated the attempt to
wreck the northbound steamboat train.
The woods are said TO be full Of tramps
and It is probable that they are the guilty
parties The escape Of the train was little
short Of miraculous A dynamite bomb
injured the engine, but there was no
wreck.
The dynamite bomb had been placed
within eighteen inches OF the edge OF the
culvert and under the east rail Of the up
track. The purpose was to throw the
train from the track so that II would be
hurled into the creek, fifteen feet below.
The culvert is about thirty feet wide.
The railroad track was torn up for a con.
siderable distance and the great granite
capstone on the culvert's wall was cracked
in a dozen different directions. The rock
ballast was torn up badly.
Fortunately the locomotive was one OF
the heaviest on the road, and was not
thrown over by the bomb. Any one Of the
ordinary passenger engines would have
been upset. The passengers were unin.
iured
The officials are unable to determine
whether the motive Of the wreckers was
robbery or revenge. A tramp going down
the track was arrested, but was subse-
quently released.

Not a Well Man.
BAR HARBoR, Ne, July 3. 3.-Secretary
Blaine is not so well, although he took his
customary ride and short walk He Is
by no means a we'll man, and his bad
spells last for a day or two, but there
seems to be no reason why he should not
be well and strong by autumn. DR. Tay-
Tor, his physician, says he has no organic
disorder and Is rapidly recovering his usual
health. He eats we'll, sleeps well and
takes no medicine excepting simple RENE
dies to regulate digestion. He has no trace
of the paralytic affection from which he
suffered three years ago Mr.. Blaine is
despondent, and the principal benefit
which his physician can render him is to
encourage him. His sickness in New York
was the result Of overwork, combined with
an attack Of influenza.
Many people here believe, despite the
statements OF his physicians and the de-
malls Of his family, that Mr.. Blaine is
broken down and that he will never again
engage in active life. IL is evident how
ever, to every one that he has greatly i'm
proved since his arrival here.
