FIRE IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Tuesday after-
noon the 1.40 p.m. train from Goole brought down to
Wakefield a quantity of cattle, and, amongst the rest, a
number of sheep. At the bottom of one of the carriages in
which the sheep were confined was a quantity of loose and
dry straw, which was unfortunately set on fire, it is sup-
posed by a spark from the enlarge, and, before the flames
could be extinguished, or any means adopted for the safety
of the sheep, no less than thirteen were burnt so reverely as
to render their being put to death an act of amenity,
whilst six or *eves others were half roasted. The sheep
were the property of several graziers, who were bringing
them up to the Wakefield cattle market of Wednesday.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— A terrible accident
occurred at the Midland Railway Station, Leeds, on Wed-
nesday afternoon. The four o'clock train was just leaving
the station for Derby, when a man attempted to gain a place
in the moving train. His foot unfortunately slipped, and
he fell with his head between the carriages and the edge
of the platform, and was instantly crushed to death. His
bead was so disfigured that it was impossible to identify
him. He had a ticket in his pocket fur Mssbrough. He
had beta purchasing cloth and cloth cap in Leeds. The
name of the deceased we have since learnt is Mr. Stephen-
son, a tenor, from Rotherham.
