NEWS OF THE CITY
AUTOMOBILE BURNS
ST. Paul Men Leave Machine
and Find Ashes


The remains of large automobile,
which had been burned almost to a
cinder was the center of attraction in
Minneapolis at the corner of Lake
street and Thirteenth avenue south all
day yesterday. The machine was the
property of Clarence Johnstone, of st.
Paul
Mr.. tombstone and a gentlemen
friend had been touring Minneapolis
in the machine Saturday afternoon, and
mad been having considerable trouble
with the running gear. the sparker
having an off day and occasionally re-
fUSing to do its scheduled work.
During the evening they repaired to
a local auto store and had it fixed.
The machine went all right until the
men had reached Thirtieth avenue on
Lake street. Here the sparker went
wrong again and absolutely refused
to do business.
After dickering around until almost
2 o'clock Sunday morning, the owner
and friend started for home on foot,
leaving the auto standing in the middle
of the street. They notified a local
repair man, and 1he promised to go
after the machine early yesterday
morning. He did, but all he found was
large bulk Of ashes and twisted steel,
the remains of a one time costly one
cylinder machine.
No one seemed to know just how
the fire started, and none of the i'm
mediate neiglfbors knew that there had
been fire until they found the wreck
later in the morning. Automobile men
think that the sparker commenced a
little business of its own after the oc-
cupants had departed and mixed in
with the gasoline and the fire resulted.

lice Surgeon, and was hurried to ST.

ST. PAUL EXCURSION
TRAIN IS WRECKED
Continued From First Page.

several persons had been killed, and
there was much excitement among
passengers who had relatives and
friends on the train.
The wrecked train was being pulled
by Engineer S. E. Kidd and Fireman
|. B. Camp. Fireman Camp says the
train was running about twelve or fif-
teen miles an hour. The first intima-
tion Of danger was when the train pull
ed around the curve into Second street,
when two car lengths ahead Of the
train were seen the red lights on the
rear of the Northern Pacific train IT
was too late to stop, although the engi-
neer made an effort to do so. When it
was seen that a collision was ineyit-
able both Camp and the engineer jump
ed. Camp jumped through the cab
window and escaped without scratch.
Engineer Kidd jumped from the side
Of his engine and, in rolling across a
switch track, was bruised some.
The Northern Pacific train was made
up of empty coaches that had been
used in an excursion from MiHneapo-
lis to Taylors Falls. The train had
been relieved of its passengers at the
Minneapolis union depot and the empty
coaches were being returned to st.
Paul On Second avenue, where the
collision occurred, the train had stop
ped to await the departure of an out
going 500 train.
Passengers Reach Home
The passengers of the wrecked train
arrived in St. Paul at 1890, and the
injured persons were removed to their
homes in hacks and street cars. A
train made up Of the uninjured cars of
the wrecked train brought the passen-
gers into the city.
While all of the passengers were
more or less bruised and battered as a
result of the collision, only few were
so seriously injured as to be unable
to walk. These were supported by
friends and relatives. Many Of the
children in the party were badly
bruised and some of them had cuts on
their faces and heads.
Patrolman Peter Paulson, Of the
Broadway squad, living at SIS Payne
avenue, was sitting in the coach at
the rear of the two cars that were
telescoped, and was holding in his lap
his young daughter. He describes the
crash in this way:
After a day ike that usually spent
on such picnics we were all tired and
sleepy. Suddenly the collision came
and my little girl and myself were
thrown forward in what seemed to ~be
a summersault. So far as was con-
cerned I was not hurt so severely,
but my little girl was knocked uncon-
scious and remained so for some
time.
Those not injured made up their
minds that they would get the injured
people out of the way, and those who
didn't go on the coaches that went
with the regular train, were removed
to the street car and taken to their
homes in ST. Paul. I saw a lady pull
herself and her small child from un-
derneath the wreckage, and am sure
that both the mother and the child
were bleeding, but could not tell how
badly they were hurt"

men were temporarily overcome by to-
bacco smoke and the fumes from alco-
hol early today while fighting a fire in
Holtz's cafe in Broadway.
The fire was confined to the sub
cellar, in which liquors and cigars were
stored, and the fumes and the dense
smoke from the burning cigars him
dered the f1remen to such an extent
that they were compelled to work in
two-minute relays.
During the fire an ambulance sur
geon was stationed near by to care for
the firemen whose eyes caused them in
tense pain after each rush into the
smoke.
The damage to the restaurant was
100000. The upper floors of the build
ing are occupied by wholesale millin-
ers, and the loss on their stock, which
was practically ruined by the smoke,
is also placed at 100000.
