An attempt was made Saturday
night to wreck a passenger train on
th e Pennsylvania Railroad about one
mile north of this city, by placing ties
on the railroad tracks. The ties were
scattered along the rails and were
discovered by the crew of a coal train
which had taken the siding. The
passenger train was late, as was the
coal train, and if the obstruction had
not been discovered and removed a
frightful wreck would have resulted,
as the tracks at this point border on
the bank of the canal.
The train was the evening express,
due here at 1926 o'clock, and is usual
