CAUSED BY AN OPEN SWITCH.
Some One Deliberately Planned
the Disaster.
sLEEPERs WERE NOT DERAILED
But the Locomotive Turned Over
and Killed the Engineer
and Fireman.

TOLEDO. Ohio, Sept 3O.-Train AZ. on
the Wabash Railroad, was wrecked this
morning at Maunle {, = small town twelve
miles south of this city. The accident
happened shortly before Z o'clock and was
the result of a well-lsid plan to ditch the
entire train. Happily, albeit. miracul-
ously the Pullmans kept on the track and
the mail and baggage cars. although badly
wrecked. did not contain any victims.
Tie killed-N. f. Smith, engineer, To-
ledo; A. d. Day, fireman. Toledo.
Slightly injured-S. Holland, mail clerk,
Cleveland; F. j. Provost. Toledo; E. S.
Coffin, Toledo; j. S. Dalton, Toledo.
The wreck was planned by whoever con-
ceived the plot to occur at the west end of
a long siding just beyond the Maumee
station. The road at the lower part of the
switch target had been removed and the
switch was partly thrown.
The target indicated clear track and
Engineer Smith was not aware of the
situation many seconds before his engine
was humping along on the ties. AS soon
as the train struck the switch it leaped
into the air. fell forward toward the ditch
and turned completely over. The trucks
of the mailcars followed the engine. but
the cars themselves went in an opposite
direction. Under them were found the
dead bodies of Engineer Smith and Fire
man Day. -:
At the time of the wreck the train was
running at its regular speed, and it is con-
sidered a miracle that no more lives were
lost The express and baggage-cars were
literally reduced to splinters, although the
occupants escaped unhurt
There" were several passengers on the
combination-smoker, which was wrecked
beyond repair, yet no scratches could be
shown by any of them.
The passengers in the Pullmans were
only made aware of the accident by the
severe jolting which they experienced.
;. Wreeking-trains w from Toledo and Fort
Wayne, Ind, were Immediately sent to
the scene Of the wreck. and the main track
was cleared for travel BY O'Clock in the
evening.
The dead engineer and the fireman are
both new men on the road, and are believed
to have come from the Lehigh road during
the recent A. r. U. strike.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 3O.-General An
tonic Ezeta has arrived here. He called
on President Diaz to-day in a most friendly
way. He denies any intention of starting
a revolution, and says he has in no way
authorized the telegram cent out from San
Francisco stating that he was coming here
to make war on Salvador or Honduras.
He says he intends making this country
his home and will engage in plant
ing and bring his family here. His grand
parents were born in Mexico and he looks
upon the country as his adopted home.
He laughed at the idea of war between
Mexico and Guatemala. He says 1000
Mexican soldiers would be more than
enough to clean out Guatemala, which has
DO soldiers of experience and worse
officers.
President Diaz was interviewed and said
the kilograms published in the United
States that Mexico has the intention of
interfering with Central American affairs
Is absolutely without foundation. The
boundary dispute with Guatemala will be,
he said. settled by diplomacy.

THE IMPORTER WINS.
An Important Decision Relating to
Customs Duties.

BosToN. Sept. 30-An important deci-.
sion affecting millions of dollars worth of
claims against the United States Govern
ment has been rendered by Judge Cole of
the United States Circuit Court. The de-
cision was in the celebrated case Of Joseph
Burtwell. an importer. against Leverett
Salstins.all, formerly Collector of the Port
of Boston. The question at issue was on
the Interpretation of sections 3O1i and 2931
of the Revised Statutes of 1877 regulating
the time. manner and nature of protest
against the payment of duties. Burtwell
filed written protest with the Collector
within ten days after liquidation, but the
Government commended when arguing the
case that the protest should have been
made when Burtwell paid the estimated
duties.
Judge Colt has now decided Burtwell
was right. The Government will take an
appeal. This is said to be the first deci-
sion ever given on the point in question.
