Regarding the cause of the accident Di-
vision-Superintendent French, Of the Old
Colony railroad said last night: I'VE have
not made an investigation vet, but from
what we can learn IL appears that the sec
tion-men who were at work on the track
mad what we call track-jack' on the
rails, and that they had it IN when the
train came flying around the curve. From
all indications, although we don't state 1t
officially, the jack was not taken out when
the train came up. Whether or not the
danger-sjgnal was set will not be known
till the official investigation Thursday"
A Globe reporter in prosecuting his in
vestieations found IN lot of weeds be-
side the track near the bridge the jack
which is supposed to have caused such a
terrible loss of life. Marks of the fianges
of the wheels we're plainly cut III the
heavy tool, and it bore evidence of having
been run over by a train of cars. The
sides of the socket of the casting to re-
ceiye the handles by which the weight is
raised were pressed close together. and a
large hole was cut through the casting and
the bottom of the casting was broken of:
