y CLEVELAND, O., June 22.-Nineteen
dead and dozen slightly injured tonight
comprises the revised casualty list made
by the wrecklng last night at Mentor,
Ohio, OF the eastbound Twentieth Gem
tury Limited and Lake Shore and New
York Central's 1S-hour train, which ran
into an open switch, crushed the Mentor
depot and partly burned it up, scorch-
Ing several OF the mangled corpses. The.
surviving Injured are not much hurt,
The Twentieth Century Limited, ac-
cording to announcement from New
York, will herea fter return to a 2O-hour
schedule. although none of the railroad
officials ascrlbes the wreck to excessive
speed. 39} e
Wrecked BY Maniac?
It is maintained by railway of4c,als
that the switch on which the limited was
wrecked was thrown open and locked,
and the switch light extinguished by
some person, either a maniac or some
one seeking revenge. It is still unknown
who this person is, although detectives
are working on the case.FA careful ex-a
animation of the switch to-day showed
that It was In perfect condition. Train
men are OF the opinion that the engineer
OF the Twentieth Century was deceived
/ by the light OF a switch just beyond the
open switch. the light OF which is said
to have been out.
the Lake Shore says the speed Of the,
train was not contributory cause to
tho wreck. He said that other Lake
Shore trains travel through Mentor at
a speed equal to that attained by the
limited last night. which was not, Mr..
Marshall said, above sixty miles an hour.
The schedule for tho train calls for a.
speed OF fifty-seven miles an hour a !.

Even the Pawtucket faction. which was
rather disgruntled over the failure OF the
Fitzgerald boom last fall, has the appear
ance OF rallying 20 the support OF Quinn,
whom II credited with the failure OF Mr..
Ftzgeralds friends plans.
Mayor Higgins OF Pawtucket has also
stated that his opinion is that Colonel
Quinn has been the ablest leader the state

Apparently the only opposition will come
from the colonel himself. whose pressure
of law business takes a great deal OF his
time that might clash with the political
work 10 some extent

central committee was obliged to use last
election did not please Colonel Quinn. who
favors more systematic arrangements
