Deans next though. was his official

track, many very reasonably suppose
thorc was something wrong on tho track
which he saw.
The Atlantic engine was hauled up to
the city last night. 1t is thought to be
not so badly wrecked as was ut first
feared. Tho fire department committee
will Inspect it this afternoon and decide
