ing in the interior, gained quite a headway before thay were discovered James J. Fallon, watchman in an- other part of town, saw the blaze and turned in the alarm. Within a few minutes it was discovered that the fire was bad one and the whole towu turned out to assist in the work of fighting the blaze. The fire spread to the tank house adjoining, and it. too, was destroyed.
 AL the time the fire broke out there were three locomotives in the building, two large mainline engines and one switcher. All three were damaged somewhat, and up to late nour me- chanics could not make a thorough eX- animation of them, as-they were so hot. It is possible that the men may be able to overhaul them so that they can be used again, but there is a grave fear that all of them will be lost.
 The loss of the locomotives would mean big blow to the commission and would retard the construction work greatly, as they could not be replaced until well along in the summer months.
