ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN

THE O'CLOCK TRAIN FROM coNEY ISLAND wAS
FORTUNATELY RUNNING SLOWLY AT THE
POINT. AND ONLY THE ENGINE

PILOT WAS SMASHED.
What appears TO have been a deliberate aee
tempt to wreck a train filed with returning
pleasure seekers was made last night on the
Sea Beach Railroad owing to the fact tnat
the engine was running slowly on account OK
the weight 1t had to draw, no serious damage
DONE
The attempt was made on the train leaving
Coney Island about o'clock. The engine was
In charge Of the engineer. Mallon, and the train
consisted Of eleven cars, all filed. and contain
ing about fifteen hundred passengers.
The road Is now replacing It's old rails WIN
new ones, which have been laid along the route
Each rail weighs 100 pounds. Some one took
three Of these near the Fifth-ave tunnel ana
placed them across the four rails on the road.
and then braced the three rails with wood. The
engine drawing the train which was the hrst
to appear had trouble in managing the
heavily laden train. and as 1t approached the
point where the obstruction was. 1t was not
making much headway. When Mallon saw the
obstruction he attempted TO stop. and had
partly succeeded when the pilot Of the engine
struck the rails
Tha pilot on the engine is hung very low, an
inch and a half at least lower than on most en-
gines and an inch lower than on any other en-
CINE on the road. This fortunate, as the
pilot took UP the rail nearest it, instead OF al:
lowing IL to pass under and against the forward
truck. The pilot smashed, but the engine
stopped without leaving the track.
The obstruction was removed and the train
proceeded to Brooklyn without further incident
The matter reported to Assistant Supern-
tendent Lohmann at the Atlantic-ave. station.
at the Eighteenth Precinct and at the Coney
Island station. The reserves from the Coney
Island station were sent out to patrol the tracks
until they met the officers from the other pre-.
cincts going toward COney Island.
General Manager Nelson of the Sea Beach
Railroad, said he had idea why any one
should have made the attempt to wreck the
train. He said no one had been discharged from
the road since last fall when the summer hancs
were laid off He knew of no one having Ill
will against the company, and could not imagine
any reason whatever for the act. He started
employees out to patrol the road all night
