ANOTHER Coal On FIRE-Loss ABOUT $4,000.
About halfpast 10 o'clock this morning,
Two cars attached to train on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, bound for Greenwich Point
caught fire as they were coming over the iron
bridge on the Schuylklll. The locomotive at
tached TO the train ran on for about two squares
and then cut loose the burning oars which by
this time were wrapped in seeet of flame,
The two cars contained ITO barrels of coal oil,
which makes 1920 gallons. 1t was refined oil,
and Is valued at apout Sl6l7.
A tremendous smoke was made, ana the
whole southwestern portion of the city had the
appearance of being on fire. The cars stopped
at the junction Of the railroad at Gray's Ferry
office and the watchman's box were totally de-
stroyed. The fences in the neighbUrhood
caught fire, and had 10 be torn down in order
to prevent the surrounding property from

longed to parties In West Philadelphia, and
was consigned to other parties at Greenwich
Point The cars were ordinary freight cars,
and were probably worth $1,000, thus making
the total loss about S6000
The origin of the fire is at present unknown,
Some say IL was from sparks of the locomotive
and others that some boys were smoking on
the bridge, and threw the stump of a cigar into
the car. The investigation of the Fire Marshal
will no doubt solve the mystery.
Messrs. Joseph Harrison Brother are losers
to the extent of $500, mostly from fences de-
stroyed. They are insured.
II was very difficult to obtain water, as where
the cars stood was an isolated spot and water
plugs were few and far between. The cars were
allowed TO burn out, the fremen principally
directing their attention to saving surrounding
property.
