PIECE OF TIMBER HOLDS,
UP TRAIN LAST NIGHT

Passengers or the 4:47 o'clock
train of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit due in Tottenville at that
time, yesterday afternoon were held
up In the local yard of the company
north of Main street, because a piece
OF timber on a fiat car projected over
the track and would have done con-
siderable damage to the train If En-
g1neer Smith had not seen the timber
In time. The train, which consisted
of an engine and three cars, was
brought to a stop and the crew, with
an axe and saw, were able to get the
heavy timber out of the way so the
train could proceed. If Engineer
Smith had not seen the timber in
time it would have probably side
swiped the train and done some seri-
Gus damage to passengers sitting on
tina side of the train,
