FIRE AT CHATTANOOGA
Passenger Coaches, Two Pull
man Sleepers and Train
Shed Consumed.

The train shed Of the Nashville,
Chattanooga d st. Louis Railway
was destroyed by fire, together
with whole train of passenger
coaches and two Pullman sleepers,
| in a spectacular blaze which start
ed at 3 30 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing.
The blaze was first observed
coming from the mail car of train
No. 6 which was made up ready
to leave for Nashville at 90 clcck.
With almost incred'b BILE swlftness
the blaze leaped from car to car,
and before a locomotive could be
brought to pull out the coaches
the fire ignited the entire roof Of
the shed. Before the fire depart
ment could reach the scene the
train was practically destroyed
and the shed was seething mass
of flames.
Two sleepers, which were under
the shed, one of which came in
on the Atlant. train, and one on
the Nashville train, were also
totally destroyed There we're a
number of people in these two
cars, and they made hurrie d
exit from the coaches IN time to
prevent anything more serious
than a few slight burns, which
was the portion of some of the
slower ones.
AT one time there was grave
fear that the Union Depot and
the freight station next to it
would also burn, ard the fireman
devoted their time to saving
these, playing streams Of water
on the t"o buildings and keeping
them wet.
"The General" the prize his.
toric engine of the Nashville,
Chattanooga Il st. Louis Railway,
was saved from the flames, the
firemen succeeding in driving back
the flames from the northwestern
section of the shed, where the old
locomotive was stationed.
The fire in the Union Station
destroyed about one.half of the
shed, two Pullmans, mail and
baggage cars and three dav
coaches were entirely or partial
ly burned. The total loss is estl
mated at about $65,00O
The fire broke out in the mail
car and is supposed to have. been
due to the explosion of the gas
tank.
In their desperate efforts ia
escape some of the passengers lost
much valuable baggage, and a
number were injured, but none
dangerously.
All of those injured received
burns about the hand, face and
back while escaping from the Cal
which was enveloped in flames.
F.E. Beggs, residence unknown
was most seriously injured. He
was carried to hospital. He
escaped from the car without any
clothes and was severely burned
about the back and face and be-
sides lost 500 and valuable Jew.

AVIATION Club
IS PROPOSED
TWO AIRSHlPS MAY BE SECURED

r IN U. p.

Last weeks successful aeroplane

celebration has caused renewed inter-
est in the proposed aero club for Laur-
ium, the possibilities of which were
discussed by the businessmen some
time ago. The revival of interest may
result i'm the formation of an aero club
for next spring.
Il is proposed to purchase a Curtiss
bipane and to engage an expert avia-
tor 10 give demonstrations in various
cities in the upper peninsula where re-
unions and celebrations are i'm progress.
The fact that the transportation
charges, would be minimized, probably
would make it possible for local COM
pany 10 quote lower prices for guar
antccd flights, than for outside con-
Germs. and the venture is looked upon
by Laurium businessmen as a PROPOSE
ton of much promise. After the first
machine is secured and i'm operation, it
Is proposed to build another aero
plane so that the danger of disap-
pointing crowds through damage to
one machine would be minimized. II
Is believed there are enough big re-
unions held i'm the upper peninsula
each year TO keep the aviator well
supplied with engagements.
Those interested i'm the project claim
they have already been assured of the
services of an ambitious local bird
man, who is willing To make a study
of aviation at tho Curtiss or Wright
schools during the winter months and
If the club is organized, il is probable
That the members would willingly pro-
vide him with this opportunity to mas
