An Attempt to Wreck a Train-A

GOldsbOrO. March ~

Correspondence OF The Messenger)
Goldsboro. March q.
What was clearly an attempt to
wreck a passenger train was discov-
cred by lobe P%ettford, a negro man
Of this city, who was on his way to
Mt. Olive Tuesday afternoon.
In crossing the railroad about one
mile below Dudley he noticed spikes
placed on the track He called to a
negro woman who was passing to
know if her children. who were with
her, had placed the spikes on the
track and she said they had not been
on the rack.
Captain Galloway, of his city, vas
notified of the transaction and he sent
an officer to Investigate the affair. The
negro woman corroborated the story
told by Pettiford. and the officer
learned at Dudley that eleven negro
boys had recently been arrested for
riding on the trains. which circum-
stance is thought to account for the
spikes being placed on the track. A
strict watch is being kept on the track
in that locality.
The Swis matchmaker, H. Hauser,
of Wilmington. passed through Colds
boro today on his way to the peni-
tertiary. He was the most dignifed
prisoner that Goldsboro has seen in
some time and attracted a great many
people to the railroad waiting rooms
during his wait in this city. He was
handcuffed with John Murphy, who
was going to the pen" for ten years
for larceny. Will Bell, a negro, vas
also going up for ten years for bur-
glary in the secon degree. The pris-
oners were in charge of Deputy Sheriff
w. H. Cox and L.. F. Harper. The
jewler Hauser was the most conspic-
uous in the crowd. He was we'll
dressed and would be taken for a judge
or a preacher rather than for a crimi-
nal. 1t is understood that he was con-
victed on circumstantial evidence Of
attempting to burn up his place Of
business.
Mr.. M. w. Haynes, Of Tarboro, was
here las night trying to arrange for
a college league of base ball between
Tarboro, Wilson, Goldsboro and Kins-
ton. He met with right much en-
enlargement here from those who are
interested in the game. He proposes
for each town to play home or college
players n that the managers of each
team shall sign an agreement not to
play professionals. The idea was well
received here, where we have a splen-
did amateur team. A meeting of the
ball enthusiasts in each of the above
towns will be called at an early date
for Goldsboro, where the situation will
be discussed and plans formulated for
the season.
