TRAIN ON FIRE.
Forty Nine Russian Soldiers
Burned to Death.
Strange and Fatal Accident Between
SlatOusk and Sawara
while ooing NJ Full speed Flames Break
Out IN the Foremost car-For some
UHaccountabie Cause the Engi-
neer Did Not stop the Trails.

ST. PErERsBURa, Jan. la-Half q
hundred soldiers were burned TO death
or killed and many were wounded In a
frightfuI railway accident on the line
between Slatousk and Sawara Tuesday
morning. A train composed Of several
carr loaded with recruits was on It's
way to Sawara at q high speed Flames
burst from the forward ear and swept
backward with great rapidity.
The entire train WAS soon afires The
engineer for some reason failed to stop
the train until he had run a great dis
lance. When the fire swept upon them
the recruits ieaped from the windows
or doors; not a few were unable to get
ont of the car and We're roasted to
death. Many landed uninjured in the
snow banks at the side Of the track,
but the great majority who leaped
struck the rocky track and we're killed.
When the engine finally slowed up
the train was almost consumed and the
unfortunates who could cot get out
were beyond human aid. Nothing wa
left of the train but the trucks and no
bodies were recovered. The officer in
charge Of the train saved himself by
jumping and after the confusion had
somewhat subsidized he called the rollsot
his men.
Forty-nine were found Ato have died
while twenty were terribly burned and
hurt, several fatally. A hasty investi-
cation seems to establish the fact that
the fire was caused by some Of the men
in the forward car, who, while skylark-
ing, upset the stove. The engineer will
be held to a strict accountability for
not stopping the train sooner.

autopsy on the body Of Gen. Butler,
previous to interment, showed that the
cause Of death was the bursting of a
small blood vessel on the brain, caused

dental cause of his death he would
probably have lived many years His
