Depot Burned.

Word reached Bohemian, last Wednes-
day, to the effect that the depot at Liv-
ingston had been totally destroyed. Eff.
forts to verify the rumor among railroad
men was of course futile, although some
were seen who had just left Livingston.
The railroad man seems to be fully aware
of the penalty attached to the revela.
ton of any new connected with the
management Of the road and otimes, as
in this instance, carries his secretive
abilities too far. The depot caught fire
at lips p. m. A lamp in the telegraph
Office exploded, throwing oil over the
hooks full of papers. The operator and
dispatcher tried to put the fire out, but
is spread so fast that they barely got out
themselves, Everything in the upper
part of the building was lost. The bag
gage. express and tickets, however, were
saved from below.
