the stoves in the sleeping car, and
were burned up. Nothing was saved
from the sleeping car. All the bag
gage, express matter and mail were
saved. For a wonder, no person was
dangerously injured. Judge Sewers

collar-bone broken in two places and
his head and face badly bruised. Mr..

trust. The Company's loss in tho de-
struction Of the four cars Is about
