The attempt which was made Mon
day night to wreck No, 5, the fast mail
train, which leaves here at 1870 o'clock,
the facts of which have just leaked
out, is the chief topic of conversation
among the railroad.men. The bastard
ly attempt was made between Level
and Pleasant Plain, on the west end of
the road, just few miles from Cincin-
natl. Engineer George Mcclure, on
engine 2s9, pulling Conductor George
Schaffer's extra freight train, were the
ones to crash into the debris which
was spread over the track, and con-
sisted of heavy rail and good deal
of broken iron, but fortunately no SER
ious damage was done, and the train
was brought to standstill. .-Parkers-

The City Council met in Committee
of the Whole Thursday morning and
inspected the grade upon which the
electric railway is being built at the
intersection of Second and Wooster
streets. 1t was decided that the grade
should remain as established, it being
apparent that even with the deep cut
now being made in the center OF the
street there is but few inches allowed
for drainage from the sidewalks, which
are very low. Second street will prob
ably be paved next year and grade
above the sidewalks would then be
sure to cause big kick.
