Work of Tramps Blood-Honnds on
the Trail. ,
Raleigh, N. O., Dec. 30 There
was a bad wreck of a freight train
two miles west of here, at 1:30 this
morning, on the Seaboard -Air Line,
and it appears to have been caused
by tramp3. The vestiboled train
was an hour late this morning,
eouth-bound, and the freight was
running on its schedule. Four
tramps were "ditched" near the
place late yesterday afternoon, and
it is believed they removed or un
fastened a rail. The engine and five
cars dashed down a thirfcyfeet era
bankment, and were wrecked. The
engine turned entirely over, and ali
its uppsr-worka were torn away.
Engineer John Robinson, of Ral
eigh, escaped with a couple of broken
ribs, but Fireman Lewis Overly,
colored, also of Raleigh, was caught
beneath the engine and instantly
killed. It required several hours'
hard work to secure his body. He
was killed by scalding and burning.
The track was torn up five or six
rail lengths, aiid it wa3 noon before
repairs were effected so trains couM
pass. No others of the crew were
hurt. The engineer walked to this
city. The local surgeon df the rail
road went promptly to the scene.

well and nothing bat the highest
praise can be said of his management

his own," applies in this case, for
the fellow was unhurt. There was
much . indignation against the
tramps supposed o have caused the
incident. ' There was a report that
a tramp printer remarked that a
tramp said to. him there would be
more trouble ; that the matter had
ret ended: :( ; . ;
There is positive evidence that a
rail wa3 removed. The spikes and
fishplates taken from it have been
found near the wreck and the spikes
had been f reshly pulled. An iron
crow-bar has also been found, con
cealed anion? tho weeds. The bar
ia the property of the Southern Rail
v.Hy, and hid been stolen. The
tracks of two men haye been found
leading from the point where the
rail was removed. Superintendent
M on cure says there is no doubt that
an attempt was made to wreck t h
vc stibnled tiain. Railway officials
deny that four tramps were put off a
'trim yesterday the place where
the wreck occurred. It is learned
that two other attempts at wrecking,
bv placing obstructions on the track,
have been made within 90 miles of
Raleigh within the; past ten days.
Engineer Robinson says that this
morning, a second before reaching
the misplaced rail, he saw something
was wrong He remembers his en
gine jumping the rails. The Sea
board's tracks parallel thosv'of the
Southern Railway, and the former
has nsed the latter'a track todav be
tween Ralegh and Cary. Some of
the wrecked cars were thrown on the
Southern's tracks.
Bloodhounds arrived late this af
ternoon from the penitentiary farms
near Weldon, and were immediately
put on -the trail. They went in a
northerly direction.
Annual Election of Firemen.
On Tuesday night next, the fire

jointly at the Hose and Reel Com

election of a Chief and ;AEsistant
Chief. Ii U hoped that every mem

head officials to the'organiztion play
important parts during a fire and
tirna of distress, therefore a. good e
lection, f.s in the past, is necessary.
Let every fireman be there.
