DISASTER AVOIDED
ATTEMPT TO WRECK MAIL TRAIN Delhi, March 20. A dastardly attempt to wreck the Punjab mail train, while passing over the sandy wastes of the Sind Desert, is reported from Karachi. A slow passenger train proceeding in the opposite direction on the other line dashed into a rail placed across the line. Investigation showed that fifty yards of the mail train’s line had been uprooted, and the rails placed on the opposite line. Urgent distress signals caused the mail to pull up within a hundred feet of the breach.—Sydney “Sun” Cables
