DERAILING OF AN EXPRESS TRAIN.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association) I Dunedin, Tuesday. . An express train was derailed at St. Leonards, F >rtunatcly only the en- , gine leaving the rails. The passen- i gera reached town at 10.80. The Palmerston train passed over the same spot half an hour before, and 1 there, therefore, is little doubt that there was deliberate shifting of the points. The train happened to be a few minutes in advance of the time, wherefore the driver slowed down before reaching town, which he approached at the slowest rate for two years. Tho passengers speak in the j highest terms of the drivers' coolness.
