ATTEnPT TO WRECK TRAIN. Boys Put Spikes on C. & W. C Railroad Track. There have recently been two at tempts to wreck the train on the Char leston and Western Carolina, near Maudin station, near Greenville. A ne gro boy about 12 years old placed a spike on the rail Sunday and the train ran over It, smashing It slightly. The negro then stock the spike between the rails where they joined, and the next train broke It off. He was ar- 1 rested and stood a preliminary exam ination before Magistrate Hodges, of Greenville. As he confessed to the deed, the ease was sent up. and the lit tle ungro remains in Jail. Yesterday three white boys named Brooks, who live near Mauldin, were. arrested, and they waived the prelim inary and gave bond. They placed a shovel p.ow cn the track Monday, sticking it between the joints rs ihe rails. Strange to say, the train did not jump the track, but broke off the plow.
