Caboose No. 100 of the Ravens.
wood, Spencer & Chenille r. r
was destroyed by fire yesterday
morning near Ravenswood. The
caboose was attached to the con.
struction train and left here yester-
day morning with a force of men
on board to unload twenty car loads
of Stag, for use on the road bed.
The train had arrived at Ravens
wood and was standing on the main
track. All the workmen got off and
left Conductor Ed Smith and one Of
his brakeman aboard. A few min.
utes afterward Capt. Smith detect
ed smoke issuing from a pile OF
waste 10 the corner of the car. He
lifted the waste TO make an investi-
cation, and in an instant almost was
nearly surrounded by q blaze and
had TO beat hasty retreat. The
flames spread SO rapidly that he aud
the brakeman lost no time in escap.
ing from the car.
There were noappliances at hand
with which to extinguish the blaze
and the car was soon entirely con-
sumed, together with a lot of cloth
ing belonging to the workmen and
tools belonging to the company

case again or ever read of such
opprobrious conduct again in this
or any other city.
While Rev. J. w. Simpson was
away from home looking after the
interest of one of his country APP
pointments, some persons, three
women and one man, whose names
we will not mention, found their
way into his study, arranged bis
books, left curtains on his windows,
nice new table in place of the old
one, new paper on the walls, and
in short left it looking like a man
with any taste for the beautiful, could
surely make better preparations
for the pulpit. They are hopeful,
those experiences, while pleasant
are TO the expression.
