The Santa Fe shops at Albuquerque
had a close call Friday night from be-
| ing consumed in flames. The Demo
| crat of that place has the following to
say:
A most remarkable escape from a
very serious fire is reported from the
| Santa Fe Pacific railway shops. The
paint room, in which a large quantity
of valuable oils and paints are stored,
| is partitioued in one corner of the car
| penter shop, the partitions being made
of by } inch Stats set far enough
apart to admit plenty of light and air
| and at the same time prevent any one
| from entering the room. Fri
day night one of the workmen
hung a pair of overalls, saturated with
paint and oil, on the inside of this par
| tition. Yesterday morning when the
shop was opened 1T was found that the
overlls had caught fire by spontaneous
com bustion and that nothing but ashes,
the buttons and the buckle remained of
| them. The Stats for ten feet above
where the overalls had been hung were
burnt clear through and we're simply
pieces of charcoal. On the floor below,
in charred depression about
the size Of hens nest, were
found the buttons and buckle,
which proved how the fire had orig
| mated. What caused the flames to
60 out is mystery, for the fire had
evidently taken place early in the
| night, and everything was cold yester-
day morning. The only theory that
can be advanced is that in the entire
absence of draught the wood work sim
ply smouldered out after the oily rags
had burned. 1t was a very narrow es-
cape, for with Friday nights wind a
fire in the carpenter shop would have
made it very hard matter to save any
| of the other buildings
