7 INJURED IN A WRECK
MONTREAL EXPRESS MAY HAVE
BEEN DELIBERATELY WRECKED.

HOOSICK FALLS n. Y, January g.
Seven persons were injured, one of them
fatally, when the Montreal Express on the
Boston and Maine railroad was wrecked at
Walloomsac early today, five miles north
of this place.
The most seriously injured was Charles
Wardwell of Bristol, VT, the engineer. The
fireman and five passengers also were hurt.
The wreck was caused by the train run
ming into an open switch and the railroad
officials are of the opinion that the switch
was opened deliberately for the purpose
of wreclzing the train.
The engine was badly damaged and the
baggage car and smoker were derailed
and partly wrecked. Several sleeping cars
remained on the rails.
The train was thrown onto a siding by
switch which had been wedged open, and
only collision with two freight cars, it is
believed, prevented a disaster The engine
OF the express struck the freight cars and
was partly wrecked, as was also one car
of the train, but as the freight cars were
empty. the collision was not a heavy one
ana only contributed to checking the speed
of the express.
Engineer Wardwell and his fireman were
severely burned and scalded, besides sus-
tanning other injuries by being thrown from
the cab in the collision. A number of pas
sengers were considerably shaken up but
few Of them needed medical attention.
The wrecked train was the regular Mon
treal express which runs by way of the
Rutland railroad to White Creek by the
Boston and Maine railroad to Troy, n Y.
and by the New York Central to New York
city. The train was proceeding at a fair
rate of speed.
1t was not to stop at Wallarrloosac, and
as the signal near the station indicated
safety, there was no warning until, with a
tremendous lurch, the engine took the
switch and i'll moment had plunged into
the freight cars. After attending to the
injured the tralnmen turned their attention
TO determining the cause of the accident
They found that the switch lock had been
broken, that the switch lamp had been
wrenched off and turned to show a safety
signal, and that the switch itself had been
wedged open. A search for trace of the
Wreckers was begun at once by the police.
officials Statement.
BOSTON, January Conformation re-
ceived here by President little Of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad indicated, he said,
that the wreck of the Montreal express at
Walloomsac station, today, was the re-
suit of deliberate act. A switch had
been opened and wedged in that position
while the signal had been twisted so as to
indicate a clear track. The express took
the open switch and the engine and two
care were derailed and partly wrecked
The engine struck some freight cars
which were standing q side track and
which checked its speed and prevented
the sleeping cars, which made UP the bulk
OF the train, from leaving the rails Seven
persons were injured including five passen-
gers, but none was killed although En-
gineer Wardwell may die.
