Thinks She Was Enticed Away

Rose Collins, the 18 year old daughter of George L. Collins, of Astoria, has been missing from home since February 8. Mr. Collins has requested Supt. Byrnes to search for the girl, who, he believes has been enticed away by three Astoria young men.


Mail Train Derailed

The east bound Sag Harbor mail train, which runs as an express from Jamaica to Babylon, was thrown from the track at Lynbrook at 9.13 o'clock Wednesday morning. No one was injured.

The tender was torn from its trucks, as was also the forward section of the mail car. A broken frog point is believed to have been the cause of the accident.
