CAUGHT IN BOX CAR.
Four Men Were Burned to Death
 Two Had Narrow Escape.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 10.-Four unidentified men were burned to death in box ear containing gaso- lene which caught fire at Branch in tersection, ten miles east of this city to-day. Two others, George I&linger of Harrisburg, and William c. Lyter of Lewiston, barely escaped with their lives, their bodies and clothes being badly burned. The men were employed by the Pennsylvania rail- road and were sent to Bainbridge to clear the ice from the tracks. One of the cars in which 26 men were carried contained five barrels of gas olene and other lighting materials to be used for night work.
 Most of the men were asleep, but one struck q match to light his pipe, while near one of the gasolene bar rels, and ill an instant the interior of the car was fiery furnace.
 The men, awakened by the intense heat, could not at once realize their situation. There was q scramble to get out. but four men were unsuccess- ful. They were trampled upon by the others. Their bodies were af- terward found burned to a crisp.
