A BIC FOUR WRECK
Small Boys Blamed For Open
 Switch at Columbus.
ENGINE AND WHOLE TRAIN UPSET.
Accident Unique Tn That Not One Was Killed, Though Many Re- ceived Serious Injury-Fire-
 man Fatally Hurt.

COLUMBUS, O., June 19.-The Big Four Limited, which left New York city over the New York Central at 5:30 o'clock, ran into an open switch three miles east of here, overturned and se- riously injured four passengers and the fireman.
 The engine and every coach were thrown on side, and the passengers were piled in heaps. The tender ran along the side of the track for some rods and then plunged into the ground several feet.
 The engine continued for POO yards and then turned over.
 Small boys who were seen playing about the track by the engineer of a train which passed the point a few minutes before the wreck occurred are believed to have turned the switch, not meaning to do any harm. The engineer of the first train reported the switch O. K. when be went by.
 At the point where the fast train was ditched a side track runs of to a large sewer pipe factory. When the engine struck the open switch the ten der ran along the side of the track for some distance and then plunged deep into the ground. All the coaches were flung violently to one side and fell on their sides and were badly shattered.
 The list of injured follows:
 Mrs. Elizabeth Lowry, aged sixty, Cleveland, hip injured; ]. G. Creegan, Cleveland. back sprained: H. L. Reed. Mansfield. face cut: Mrs. Dr. Hynd- man. 51T West One Hundred and For ty-fourth street. New York. back hurt and body bruised: Joe Mahaffey. fire man. fatally injured.
 Engineer willIaDl T. Smith stuck to his post. but escaped injury. Mahaffey. his fireman. jumped and as a result may not recover. The passengers had no opportunity to even leave their seats. because the train took the switch while travelling at the rate of fifty miles an hour and the cars were piled in a heap in a twinkling.

Society Couple separate.

NEW YORK. June 19.-Society was surprised to hear of what is apparent ly at least temporary arrangement between Mir. and Mrs. Henry Coleman Drayton, whose married life was be- gun under brilliant and happy auspices two and d half years ago. Mrs. Dray- ton, who is beautiful young woman. is a daughter of the late Benjamin Knower. a prominent merchant and q member of one of the old and conserv- ative families of the city. Mir. Drayton is the son of J. Coleman Drayton and a grandson of Mrs. William Astor. Mir. and Mrs. Drayton after their wedding reception left the home of the brides mother over the roof and went to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Samuel Penni- man. two numbers away. where they found a carriage. thus eluding their many friends who were waiting to pelt them with rice and confetti

to Grange House.
 That was the weak part of their armor, but Grenier refused to admit the flaw.
 "A naked man found in the sea-and he may never be found-has not nee essarily been thrown from q balcony 300 feet above sea level. The notion Is grotesQue. No constabulary brain could conceive it. And who Is hef Not Philip Anson. Philip Anson is alive. Not Dr. Williams. Any Scars dale man will say that. And your best friend. Mason, would not take him for you"
 But Mason was not satisfied. Better have buried the corpse on the lonely farm-in the garden for choice. Then they would know where he was. The sea was too vague.
 Of pity for his victim he had not a jot Had Philip Anson pitied him or his wife or his two children? They, too. were dead in all probability. While in London he had made every sort of inquiry, but always encountered a blank wall of negation. John and VIII liam Mason. even if they lived, did not know he was their father. They were lost to him utterly. 1 Curse Philip Anson. Let him be for gotten anyway. Yet he contrived to think of him during the nine weary i miles over the moor, during the long wait at the railway station and during the slow hours of the journey to Lon | don.
 On arriving at York. Grenier secured a palatial suit at the Station hotel, en- tering his name in the register as Phil ip Anson."
 He drove to the postoffice and asked if there was any message for "Gre- nier''
 Yes. It read:
 Family still at Penzance. Persuaded friend that letter was only intended to create unpleasantness with uncle He took same view and returned 10 town. Will say nothing
 Unsigned. it came from a town near Beltham. Grenier was satisfied. He lit a cigarette with the message. 1 At a branch postofTice he dispatched two teIegrams- The first to Evelyn:
 VIII remain in the north for few days. Too busy to write today. Full letter to- morrow. Love. PHILIP.
 The second to Mir. Abingdon:
 Your message through Miss Atheriey noted. Please suspend all inquiries. Af- ] fair quite unforeseen Wi explain by letter. Address today. Station hotel, York ANsON.
 Then he entered a bank and asked for the manager.
 My name may be known to you" be said to the official. at the same time handing his eard-

-inar IS qu.l, i's-s.U.e. We will use all expedition"
 Thank you. You understand, this Is merely a preliminary. I will need much larger sum, but I will pay in my next check after hearing from London. I am not quite sure about the amount of my private balance at the moment" The bank manager assured him there would be no difficulty whatever under such conditions.
 Grenier obtained his pass book and check book after writing check on London before the other mans eyes.
 For a small amount an introduction would have been necessary. In the case of Philip Anson, the millionaire, a man who handled thousands so readl- ly. 1t was needless. Moreover. his pro- cedure was unexceptionable-st according to banking business.
 Grenier rushed of to the station, caught a train for Leeds, went to the bank of different company with dif- ferent London agents and carried through the same maneuver:
 He returned to York and secured the services of the hotel typist. He wrote to Philips bankers:
 I am transacting some very important private business fin the north of England and have opened temporary accounts with the - bank fin York and the - bank in Leeds. and I shall need con- siderable sum of ready money. Possibly I may also open accounts in Bradford and Sheffield. Today have drawn two checks for e5.coO each. Kindly let me know by return the current balance to my credit as I dislike overdrafts and would prefer to realize some securities.
 The next letter ran:
 My Dear Abingdon-Excuse typewrit- CT. but I am horribly busy. The Nor lands affair Is e purely family and per- sonal one. IL brings into activity circum- stances dating far back in my life and in the lives of my parents. Sir Philip is not dying nor even dangerously III. Lady Louisa is in Yorkshire. and am making arrangements which will close a long standing fcud.

 PHILIP ANsoS.
 Grenier dictated this epis;le from g carefully composed copy. He under stood the ye-y friendly relations that existed between Philip and his chief agent. and he thought that In adopting a semiapOIosetic. frankly retieent tole he was striking the right key.
 The concluding reference to the Mary Auson Home was smart. he imagined while the main body of the letter dealt in safe geaeraiIties.
 Naturally. he knew nothing of the conversation between the two men on this very topic a couple of months cartier
 But I.angdon's ample confessions had clearly revealed Philips attitude. and the unscrzpulous scoundrel was will ing now to dare an in his sttssapt to gain a fortune.

reposed in the safe. Green, it ulti- mately transpired, solemnly opened the safe in the presence of the housekeeper and butler, locked it again without disturbing any of the other contents and handed the key to the butler, who placed It in the silver pantry.
 In the solitude of his room Grenier burst the lock. The rascal received one of the greatest shocks of his life when he examined the contents - a quantity of old clothing, some worn boots, ball of twine, bed coverlet, a big iron key, the tattered letters and a variety of odds and ends that would have found no corner in a respectable ragshop.
 He burst into a fit of hysterica laughter.
 "Ye gods and little fishesr' he cried. "What a treasure! The Clerkenwell suit, I suppose, and woman's skirt and blouse, Old timers, too, by their style. His mothers, I expect. He must have been fond of his mother"
 At that moment Jocky Mason, beetle browed and resentful, was reading a letter which reached his lodgings two hours before his arrival, in an envelope bearing the ominous initials 70. H. NJ. S."
 It was from the Southwark police station.
 Sir-Kindly make 1t convenient to nt- tend here tomorrow evening at ?. m. Yours truly. T. BRADLEY.
 Inspector.
 The following day it was Mason's duty to report himself under his ticket of-leave, but it was quite unusual for the police to give a preliminary warn- ing in this respect. Failure on his part meant arrest That was all the off, cials looked after.
 Whats up now?" he muttered. Anyway. Grenier was right This gives me a cast iron alibL I'll ac knowledge it at once"
 His accomplice. hoping to obtain sleep from champagne. consumed the contents of a small bottle in his bed room, while he scanned the columns of the local evening papers for any ref erence to a seaside mystery" on the Yorkshire coast
 There was none. Anson's body had not been recovered yet. -
 Before going to bed he wound Phil ip's watch He examined 1t now with greater interest than he had bestowed on 1t hitherto.
 Although silver. it appeared to be a good one. He opened the case to sx- anime the works Inside there was an Inscription:

 Beneath was the date of Mason's capture.

 He looked back through the soiled leaves of a soriid record and fou1d that he was then acting in a me.e- drama entitled The Wages of Sin

CHAPTER XIX.
 TEXT morning Mason trudged M of to Scarsdale at an early
 VI hour. He ascertained that \ Green had quilted the Fox and Hounds inn in time to catch the first train.
 He returned to Grange House with the dogcart and drove Grenier to Scarsdale with his luggage, consisting of Philips portmanteau and his own together with hatbox.
 He touched his cap to Grenier when the latter smiled affably on him from the luxury of a first class carriage and he pocketed tip with a grin.
 A porter was also feed lavishly, and the station master was urbanity itself as he explained the functions and the time London would be reached.
 Left to himself, Mason handed over the dogcart to the hostler at the inn, paid for its hire and again walked to the deserted farm. He surveyed every inch of the ground floor, carefully rak- ing over the ashes in the grate, scrub bed the passages with a hard broom and water. packed some few personal belongings in a small bag and set out again, after locking the door securely. for long tramp over the moor. Nine miles of mountain road would bring him to another line of railway. Thence he would book to London and travel straight through. arriving at the eap- ital late at night and not making the slightest attempt to communicate with Grenier en route
 There was little fear of comment or inquiry caused by the disappearance of the inhabitants of the Grange House.
 He and "Dr" Williams were the only residents even slightly known to the distant village. Such stores as they needed they had paid for The house was hired for a month from an agent in the county town and the rent paid in advance. IL was not clear who owned the place. The agent kept it on his books until some one should claim t.
 As the murderer walked and smoked bis reflections were not quite cheerful now that he could cry quits with Philip AnSOn-
 His experiences of the previous night were not pleasant- Neither he nor Grenier went to bed Tbey dOzed un- easily in chairs until daylight and then they admitted that they had csn- mitted AESonis body te the deep ia q moment of unreasoning panic
