he saw something on tho track which at Q
distance he took to be q shadow. Another
train had passed on the rails only twenty min
utes ahead OF him. AS he drew near he was
astonished to see that the track was blocked.
On one side wns q steep bank and on the other
the Manhan Reservoir and deep canal. He
applied quickly tho brakes. and succeeded In
bringing tho train to standstil within q few
feet OF tho pile.
Investigation showed that It was a deliber-
ate attempt to wreck the train. On the track
wero four heavy fish plates" a coupling link.
and railroad tie, so arranged that no train
could have thrown them aside. The plan
evidently was to throw the train into the river.
The Indignation Of the passengers was in
creased when It was learned that the work
must have been done after the former train
had passed and in broad daylight within view
OF one or two houses Search failed 10 rerenl
any clue to tho miscreants. They were familiar
with railroad utensils. Orders have been re-
ceived from the road officials to flnd the mon.
The Waterbury police force are making every
