 A. P, Gorham. a fireman. side iu- jured, Collinwood. Ohio As to who is responsible for the open switch which was the cause ,r the wreck, the railroad officials are still uncertain. They believe that the wreck is :ne result of either a maniac who wanted to see a wreck of such a fast train, or some person bent Ilp-
 
 the switch today showed that it was in perfect cOpdition.
 Detectives are working on the case. Trainmen are of the opinion that the crew Of the Twentieth Century was deceived by second white light one hundred feet beyond the switch which was open, but while travelling at such fast rate of speed were unable to gauge the distance and mistook the second light for the first one.
 w. Fl. Marshall, general manager of the Lake Shore, believes that the speed of the train was not the cause of the WI eek. He said thatother Lake Shore trains travel through Mentor at q speed equal to that attained by the Twentieth Century last night which was not, Mr., Marshall said, above the rate of sixty miles an hour. The schedule for the train called for a speed of fifty-seven miles an hour at that point.
 The wreck had no effect on the sale uf tickets for the same train tonight, the full quota allotted to this city hav- ing been sold long before the time of the trains departure.
