The Work of Fiend..

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. ga daring
attempt was made to wreck a train on
the Illinois Central yesterday. Had the
north bound accommodation from Wa.
ter Valley to Grand Junction been go.
ing ten miles an hour faster there would
have been an awful disaster. About
seven miles north of Holly Springs car
penters are repairing the bridge. As
the north bound train came in sight of
the bridge the engineer noticed thatone
rail seemed to be unlevel. He quickly
applied the air brakes and reversed the
engine. As the engine went on the
bridge it was discovered that q piece OF
iron known as a stirrup among bridge.
men had been securely fastened to the
rail and would have thrown
any train from the track
Luckily only the front trucks
of the engine left the rails. Soon after
a posse of men, with NJ. L Brewer, of
Holly Springs, at their head, went in
pursuit of the perpetrators of the deed.
In the excitement of the escape from
being thrown from the bridge, the en-
gineer noticed two negroes sneeking
away through the bushes. Suspicion
was directed towards them. The posse
started in pursuit. Soon they came in
sight of the;a and captured them. They
were confronted, and their captor told
each what the other had said. They
confessed having done the deed. Frost
said Mcdowell had a large AK which he
intended to use for breaking open the
coaches in case of the wreck. The
negroes were taken to Holly Springs
and jailed. Both have the reputation Of
being desperate characters.

the water had risen to nine and at 10

trees, and some of them in falling came
dangerously near crushing upon the

through the woods and carried away the
bedding and furniture. Bishops Bow

ent, and say that in all their experiences
they have never witnessed such a storm
at a campmeeting. At the Philadel-

1t will be observed that notwithstand-
ing this immense outlay OF extra equip
ments, it is the impression among all
the authorities consulted that trouble
will be encountered in handling the
crop satisfactorily. The most serious
phase of the problem is the probability
OF delays at the terminal points. The
unloading and return of wheat cars
must be kept up at a brisker pace than
ever before to prevent storehouses from
being completely swamped ut the prin.
cipal receiving points.
