platform near the track, and as the
train moved past, the man, who was
standing on a platform, leaned over,
caught the boy by the hair and pulled
him off the step. The boy fell upon
the track and the trucks of the last car
passed over his foot and leg, mangliug
and laCerating il so that ompu8iiOn

The accident did not become known
to the crowd until after the train had

Big Fire in phIadeIphia-One Kuled
and Fourteen Injured
The great oil works of the Atlantic
Refining Company, at Philadelphia,
had a narrow escape from total destruc-
tion by IRE yesterday afternoon. Prop.
erty to the extent of nearly $500 600
went up In smoke, and the big German
tank steamship Hansen Kurtz, with her
cargo Of 2j,O0O barrels Of crude petro.
lcum, was totally destroyed
The catastrophe resulted in the death
Of Jos. II. Quinn, a shipping clerk
and fourteen other persons were more
or less seriously injured Quinn leaves
q widow and five children, the young
est only six months old.
IL Is not known what caused the fire,
but the generally accepted theory Is
that Of spontaneous combustion. The
extreme heat of the day is believed to
have made the iron Of the steamer so
hot that the gases from the oil ignitej,
as there was no fire on the ship or the
wharf The hull of the steamer may
not be irreparably damaged, and in that
event the loss will not be over $3.50, 600.
She was a new steamer and cost 5000.
