TREE ACROSS TRACK. Did Soma One Try to Wreck the Southern? Yesterday the io coming Southern train only misaed being wrecked by a 1 few .'eet. About a mile from Hamburg there la a curve and a ateep embankment. Aa the train came around the curve It waa ahead of time and running slower than uauol Tbl# I* that saved It. for a pine some ninety feet long was laying across the track. The engine was Mopped within a few feet of the obstacle. The track waa cleared, the train reaching the city about half an hour late. There are two opinions expressed. One is that an attempt was made to wreck the train by cutting the tree across the track. The other opinion and the one ex preaed by most of thr passengers Is that someone was cutting the tree and It accidentally fell ncross the tracks. The person then became frlghteuedand ran away. This is probably the solution, as the stump of the tree whs some thirty feet from the butt, shoving that the tree hit and bounced over the track. The authorities, however, In view of the fact that several of the trains (tim ing | n have had narrow escapes, will Investigate the* matter thoroughly. Bridge Row Improved.
