Sunday, while running at the rate of 50 miles an hour plunged into an open switch, killing' the engineer, F. N. Smith, instantly, and terribly mangling the fireman, A. N. Day, so that he lias since died at the Toledo hospital. Several of the mail clerks were badly shaken up and somewhat injured, but none of them seriously.

Switch Tampered With.

The switch had been tampered with nnd was partially thrown, with the target placed to indicate that the track was clear for trains to pass. The dea men were not very well known here, both having recently come from Buffalo, N. Y.. to take the places of men who were dropped during the recent strike. An effort is being made to discover who threw the switch. It is believed to have been the work of tramps with the motive of robbery. 'Die wreck was planned to occur at the west, end of a long siding, just beyond the Maumee station. The road at the lower part of the switch target had been removed and the switch was partly thrown. The target indicated a clear track, and Engineer Smith was probably not aware of the situation many minutes before his engine was bumping along on the ties.

KiiKhie Leaped Into the Air. As soon as the engine struck the switch it leaped into the air, fell toward the ditch and turned completely over. The trucks of the mail cars followed the engine, but the cars themselves went in an opposite direction. Under them were found later the dead body of Engineer Smith and Fireman Day, the latter suffering from a fracture of the skull from which he died .soon after. The postal cars were torn entirely from the trucks and were lying side by side.

The express and baggage cars were literally reduced to splinters, }ret the occupants escaped unhurt. There were several passengers in the combination smoker, which was wrecked beyond repair, yet not a scratch could be shown by any of them. The passengers in the Pullmans were made aware of the accident only by the severe jolting which the\* experienced.
