One Train Was Ten Minutes Late, Thu
Saving Many Lives.

One Train Was Ten Minutes Late, Thus
Saving Many Lives.
ALBANY, Dec. GA deliberate attempt
was made early yesterday morning to
wreck the south bound Montreal express,
consisting OF seven coaches, in which were
some 800 passengers, at what is called the
Blue Mill Bridge crossing, near Ballston
Spa, where is a switch leading to a side
track that is generally occupied by freight
cars. The train was wrecked, but by a
miracle no one was injured. At Z p. IN.
Sunday the switch was in perfect order for
the night with the signal lamp attached
Some time later the lamp was extinguish-
ed and the switch opened. As the north
and south bound express trains generally
pass at this point at full speed, it il
thought that the intention was to cause a
general collision, which would have been
attended with great loss of life, but, fortu-
nately, the north bound train was ten min
utes behind time.
The south bound train, in charge Of Con-
ductor S. c. Brown, entered the open
switch shortly after / a. m, aud, striking
a single detached car, rushed on against a
number of freight cars, which it wrecked.
The locomotive, which was badly damaged,
left the rails, and when stopped was ca
reened at an angle of forty-fiYe degrees.
The baggage car was crushed by the ten
der, the scenery and baggage Of the Duff
Opera company being badly damaged
Engineer Bailantine stuck to his post, as
did the fireman. The passengers escaped
with severe scare and shaking up. Travel
was delayed for several hours There is
no clew to the miscreant
