ATTEMPT MADE -TO WRECK TEAIN NEAR SAYBROOK Obstructions in the form of ties placed on the tracks of the Shore Line division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at Chalkers Bridge, two miles west of Saybrook Junction during Thursday night, are thought by_railroad men to have been an attempt to wreck trains. On Oct. 3 train No. 32 eastbound. known as the Owl, was derailed at 2.24 a. m.,, east of Saybrook Junction. It was' said that the plunger rail of the de- railing device had been plugged, leaving the semaphore which covered the derail clear. . The obstructions placed Thursday night were at a point west of the june- tion, making the distance between the two points considerable. At 2.15 Friday morning three creosoted ties were found on the tracks, two of them having been laid across the eastbound track while the third tie wa: lengthwise to hold the others in place. ‘When mail train No. 30 passed it is said an obstruction was felt on the tracks. No. 32, the Owl, with eight sleepers, and three baggage cars, pass- ed safely although a jar was reported. At daybreak' Friday a freight crew found three badly cut ties on the road- bed, a portion of one tie being missing. The other twc were split. It is believed that during the nigh® a freight train hit the ties and cut them up, Railroad officials are conducting an investigation. : VERDICT FOR §3,500 IS GIVEN AGAINST MRS.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MADE RECOVERY (N BERLIN Berlin, Dec. 2 (By the A, P.)—For- eign exchange today recovered substan- tially from the slump caused by the panicky unloading of Thursday, and the feeling prevails that the flurry was only a one day affair., Thursday's excitement is ascribed in a large measure to a bad case of “stage fright” on the part of amateut specu- lators. Spécu'ation on the bourse is compara- tively a new pastime.to thousands who now are playing the game throughout Germany.. Yesterday's upset in the mar- ket was disastrous to numereus small provincial banks which were unable to reach Bourse centers in time to cover themselves. The bankers and financial writers are not inclined to accept the present im- provement of the mark as an occasion for optimism. They assert that the re- ports received from London and Paris do not warrant the assumption that Ger- many_will be granted or receive finan- cial relief in the near future.
