city the greatest on earth"

tower of the New-Haven road. Mr.. Scofeld
found heavy iron obstacle wedged the
tracks just before the train was due and re-
moved it in time to prevent wreck.
The Stamford police were informed. and Off
GERS Heffernan, McMahon and Kurth hurried to
the scene of the attempt. They picked up three
men, one of whom was intoxicated. but tonight
Chief of Police Brennan said he was satisfied
that none of these had anything to do with the
attempt TO wreck the train.
The police are uncertain whether the obstruc-
ton was placed the tracks by small boys or
by tramps If boys did it they were cunning
for the obstacle was placed in such manner that
it would surely have sent the express into the
ditch bv the tracksfde. The road has been wag-

freight trains. and this circumstance leads some
of the police to believe that it was an attempt
at vengeance on the part of the hohoes

and a couple of women the railroad epabaniS-
ment near by when he found and removed the
another chunk of iron. about ten pounds in
weight between the tracks.
Scofeld says that this was not there when he
passed over the tracks. The police also found a
section of rail, fully two hundred pounds in
weight, alongside the tracks.
The Springfield Express. for which the obsta-
Gle evidently was intended, arrived in Stamford
on time at 3:12 o'clock. 1t contained eight
coaches seven of which were crowded. Rail
road men say that no human power could have
saved the train had it hit the obstacle.
The police and railroad detectives are doing
their best TO sift the matter THE man who
put that obstacle on the tracks ought to be
hanged" said one Of the railroad officials to-
