ANOTHER DIRE ATTEMPT
Revenge the Motive of the
Would-be Wreckers.
NOW ON THE NEW CASTLE; CUTOFF

The FIends Laid Their Plans Well But
Luck Was Against Thom-The Engineer
stopped the Train Within Few Feet
OF the Obstruction.
1t has come TO light that an attempt
was made to wreck freight train on the
p, w. & B. railroad Monday night.
It was by good luck, and not by good
management. that & wreck was averted
It is impossible to get the story con.
irmed by the official at the station TO
day as the affair is being kept quiet and
Is known TO only few. The story comes
from good authority, however
The hends planned their scheme well,
but luck was against them. The track
OF the New Castle cutoff near Hazel Dell
fair grounds, few yards from the
bridge over the Christiana, was the place
selected
Only freight trains run on the cut off
and revenge was undoubtedly the only
motive Of the wreckers.
Freight train No 80 was slowly being
drawn toward New Castle Monday night
when the engineer was given the red.
which meant for him TO stop his train
and wait until the bridge was turned on
He PUT on the brakes and his engine
came to stand still within few feet Of
some dark object on the tack
An examination was made by the crew
Of the traiu. which show the obstruc
ton to be a pile of cord wood IL was
removed from the track and the train
passed safely on,
Had the bridge not been off and the
train signalled to stop the engine might
have struck the wood and the whole train
thrown into the Christiana
Some of the officials Of the railroad
company went to the scene Of the at
tempted wreck yesterday afternoon and
made an examination. An effort Is being
made to capture the persons concerned
in the plot
This is the third attempt that hal
been made within a week to wreck train
near this city.
