Destructive ConHagration-An OIL Train of
Forty-six Cars on Fire.

On Saturday night, at about 10 o clock,
n freight train of forty-six cars, on the
Lake Shore railroad, part Of which
were laden with petroleum, met with
serious disaster about three miles from
Brockton, one Of the tank cars taking
fire from some unknown cause, and
bursting with such force as to throw three
or four others from the track. The con-
cussion was so great as to burst the
tanks, and the oil was poured upon the
track and into the cutters, flooding each
side for distance of thousand feet or
more. The blazing oil at once spread
along the track, communicating with the
cars laden with casks of crude oil.
BY we'll directed efforts the conductor
of the train was enabled TO detach all but
some twenty cars, and relieve them from
danger, some of which we're also laden
with petroleum. The balance of the
train was entirely consumed by fire Of
terrible intensity. AS near as we could
ascertain, being on the spot at six o'clock
in the morning, some twenty or more cats
were entirely destroyed, together with
some five or six hundred barrels Of oil,
and all the other property on board that
was not saved by the timely efforts of
those in charge Of the train, in extri-
eating portion of the cars on each side
of the fire.
The fire spread with fearful rapidly
along the track on each side for nearly
a quarter Of a mile, and until the oil
reached the culyert and left the road,
consumed in its way fences, telegraph
poles, and every other destructible ar
ticle that came 10 it's path Indeed, the
liquid FIRE spread with such rapidity that
a shanty occupied by poor woman,
some distance from the scene Of the dis
aster, was Tapped up by the flames with
so little ceremony that the occupant
barely escaped with her life.
The debris Of the wreck and that por-
ton Of the track upon which the cars
we're consumed show the intensity Of the
FIRE Heavy rails, and even car wheels,
we're melted and bent in every shape
