A Burning Train,

BRADFORD, Pa, Jan. ia stream
of waste oil, flowing from tank across
the Bradford, Bordell & Kinzua rail-
road, caught fire this morning. A
passenger train from Wellsville for
Bradford ran into it, and the train was
Immediately enveloped in flames. The
track for a distance of fully 100 yards,
was covered with oil. 1t is believed
that gas coming in contact with the
fire box of the engine exploded: firing
the oil, which spread and enveloped
the doomed train in mass of flames.
So intense was the heat that windows
cracked and fell in. In less time than
it takes to write it, passenger coach
and baggage car were converted into
a seething, Kissing fire. 1t was a ter
rible moment. The coach was filled.
There was a rush for the doors, but
the heat was so intense that the panic
stricken passengers were driven back
and forced to jump through the win
dows to landing in the snow. A re-
lief train, with surgeons, was dispatch
ed to the scene. Upon its arrival a
terrible sight presented itself. The
passenger coach and baggage cars
we're smoking ruins. The engine lay
on its back, having turned a complete
somersault. IT. is definitely known
that only three persons, all women,
were burned to death, while the list OF
injured is large.

one dollar, which was invested in tick
