groans and many were. thrown out in an
unconscious state. The Pullman and all

south, in row of sixteen buildings, and in
three hours time all were consumed. A
stiff breeze, added to the fact that the citi-
zens possessed no means of successfully
combating with the fiery element, gave
the flames full sway. The loss and lnsur-
ance is distributed as follows: s. Z. Marsh,
drugs, loss $1,000; insurance, $4,000. John,
Harper, groceries, loss II 800; insurance,

AFataI Collision.

INDIANAPOLTs. IND, Jan. Is.
A collision occurred in the Big Four Of tire
c.. L. and st. L. & G. freight yards this
morning, causing the death Of Gus Preg-
nitz, Big -Four car-inspector, the destruc-
ton Of q caboose and of a car loaded with
merchandise. A freight engine had been
hauled in and left at the belt. Train No. Y
was rounding the curve in the yards at a
fve-mile per hour rate when it collided
with a caboose which No. 13 was backing.
Pregnitz and companion were in the ca
boose and saw the danger. The former en-
deavored to effect his escape but was
caught in the wreck, his head crushed and
leg broken in many places. His companion
escaped. although the car in which he sat
was smashed to pieces. The engines pilot
and headlight were knocked off, and the
damage in dollars viii be considerable.
Pregnitz had been employed by the com
pany for several years. He leaves wife
and three children. The collision was due
to the fact that on. the sharp curve neither
train could be seen by the other.
