three miles along the Baltimore and Ohio all
road, and then went across the country abou,
three miles. All along the railroad were scat

burning, having been set en- fire by the "noble
around them, burning all the wood work and a
great deal of the iron. Crhey Were all fine iron
cars, holding about twenty tons each) Here and

down, we could see the inside-a mass OF red hot
