Catarrh being constitutional dis

which had developed within q
few hours. The engineer, as.
sisted by the train crew and
three coach loads of passengers,
among whom were John w.
Logsdon, superintendent; Martin
DEWEY, the assistant; Thomas
Walsh, master mechanic; and
Maurice Sargent, master of
trains, tried to roll the pumpkin
off the track, but it would not
bulge. The train was then
backed to the nearest station
and the wrecking crews called
out from darlington and Howell,
in charge of Nick Shannon and
Mike McGlynnan, respectively.
Holes were drilled into the
pumpkin and it was broken into
fragments by blasting with dy-
Mantle. The track was then
cleared and the passenger train
proceeded on its journey five
hours late. Mr.. McClarney re-
