THE RAILROAD SMASH Up NEAR HA-
GERsTowN-In the notice of the procession
of the Knights OF PythiaS in Wednesdays
STAR mention was made OF a railroad smash
up near HagerStOwu which prevented the
attendance here of the knights from that
section. The HagerStOwn Reporter of yester-
day gives the following account OF it: On
"wednesday morning. between and O'Clock
a M. special train left the Western Mary
land depot, intending to proceed on an ex-
cuTsiOn 10 Washington and Baltimore.
While rounding curve near McComaS'
warehouse. and al a considerable speed. be-
fore the train could be checked, it ran into
cattle car that had been run upon the main
track by some dastartly villain from a sid
ing where II stood the night before. Most
fortunately no one was injured, but the en-
CINE was considerably damaged and the track
tom mp for some extent. The peTpetratOr OF
thlS deteStaole act must have had a key TO
unlock the track and place the obstacle
upon 10. and was therefore, most probably
a RAILROAD emplOye.
