William Ware, aged IS years, was arrested,
last Saturday, on the charge of trying to
wreck trains at Cromwell's trestle, on the Bal
timore and Lehigh Railroad, near Loeb Raven.
1t was alleged that the boy on september
placed five railroad ties upon the track. Pre-
vious to this, on three occasions, distractions
had been put upon the road at the same point
One time large stone was the obstruction,
another time piece Of tie and at another
time whole tie. Fortunately these obstruc-
lions were always seen by the locomotive en-
gineer in time to prevent casualty.
The whole tie was discovered on the track
as passenger train was going north to Bel
Air on September 9Th and was removed.
When the same train returned to Baltimore
the engineer saw a number Of ties piled upon
the track and stopped tie train. The trestle
is Is feet high and 300 feet long, and II the
train had encountered the distractions doubt
less many lives would have been lost, as there
were 3s passengers on the train. The little
fellow, when arraigned before Justice Perrie,
cried bitterly and said he had been induced to
place the distractions on the track by some
larger boys He was committed to the county
jail for hearing. He is a son OF George
Ware, of Loeb Raven.
