VILLAINS FOILED.
Attempt to Wreck an Ezpret on the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
An attempt was made to wreck train No.
U, known as the western express, which was
due in litliburg at 7:43 Wednesday morning,
near New port, on the rennsylvanlit railroad.
T he express train pulled out of Hnirls
burg station a few minutes behind time and
WIM lllllklug good speed. Win n llllollt nn
hour s ride out of th" city and on n sharp
curve near New port the engineer saw a few
roils ahead of Im train a plieol tic and rails
looming up before him. Th" distance be.
twe.-n the train and th" obstruction was
short, but th" engineer iul.i.ly reversed his
throttle and threw on thu air Hii!;ci with uii
force.
The sudden t."c of th" emergency brake
set the ears to vibrating uud jerking ut such
a rate that in some of the forward coaches
the j in.-, ngcrs had a hard time to keep in
the berths. Tin' engine struck the obstruc
tion, but not with minii force. The tie and
rails not being fastened down slid along lu
front of the engine for some distance.
Alter tii" tram win brought to a standstill
the ciew got oil and examined the obstruc
tion. It win mud" of new ties and a num
ber of old rails. Hud it not been for the wet
truck which cuiiied the obstruction to slid",
th engine would have been derailed. Tin)
train was n heavy one made u; of pullmuu
sleepers nnd one baggage cor.
This is the secoud attempt made In a short
time to wreck No. 'J nt the same point. T he
otllciiils on the middle division think that it
Is son." one in th" vi Inlty who ha a grudge
against the company nnd I trying lu this
way to get revenge.

Anglo Egyptian Fores With 15,000 Men
Still Pushing Up the Nil.
The expedition of the Ahglo-Lgyptlan
troop numbering nbo.it 1.",0KI men, under
the sldar, ieneral Sir Herbert Kltchener.ar
rived at llarja on the Nile.September 17, from
l-'arWg, after it wearisome march of eight
miles over it V"ry bad track of country. In
tense heat prcwtilc.l, but the troops are all
in Hr.-t iiit.... comlitloii, Th" prc-ent stop
ping place is only 13 miles from Kermu,
where the Dervishes nr known to be con
"titrating a strong force f cavalry uud In
fantry. An advance will be mad" to Kubedch, on
the third cataract of the Ml", which point
w 111 be occupied by the sldar und his main
force of tint expedition, bub.'doh Is only
about four mill's from ami within easy reach
striking dl.tiiin'" of Kernm which is just
above the third cataract, and which the Der
vishes have made the rallying point for
heavy reinforcements of cnva'lry.
Kermu Inn been looked to a the point
where th" lint battle would occur, but the
rcconuolsances thus fur made have failed to
develop miy foree of tin) enemy. It i not
expected, however, after the desperate kind
of lighting done by the Dervinhe at Kerkeh
that tiny will retire from Kermu without a
light.
PROTECTION FOR THE CZAR.
Eugliih Polloe will Guard him from Dyna

After a conference between Lord Salisbury
und one of the assistant police commission-
I ers, it wu ordered thut most tiuborate pre
I caution be taken for the safety of the Czar
and IV.itrinu, upou their arrival ut Leith, on
nepiemner zi, ou tneir way to visit the
Wueen, nt lliilmoral. Order have been given
that no one shall be allowed upon the land
ing stage where the llus.-lan Imperial party
will debark, except person attired in court
dress. The landing stage will bo guarded
by hundreds of police and the route taken
by their majesties will be Hucd with troon.
It Is denied at litri that Alexander Suili
vuu had been arrest. The I rem h public
ridicule the whole story of th" existence of a
dynamite conspiracy, which tin y declare I
mi Lnglish political trick intended to inter
fere with the proposed visit to France of the
t'rnr. The French cabinet give ho little
credence to the Luglish police olllclals' story
of a dynamite conspiracy that It will prob
ably refuse to grant the request for T'yunu
extradition.

Although the new Library building will not
be completed until next Januury, the work
