Our next delay Of l. hours was in

south of Richmond, Friday morning
when there came terrific explosion
which caused us TO sit up and take notice
As the car was jolting along hot black

pieces of iron falling upon our roof and
the trainmen were racing through to the
front to ascertain what had happened.
Word came back that our engine had
blown up and neither engineer nor fire.
Davis by name was found unconscious in
the snow up over a bank over 100 feet
away. with a fractured leg and serious
burns about the upper part Of the body.
He was later taken back to Richmond
hospital. An hour later the body of the
fireman was found wedged in among the
iron wreckage. probably instantly killed.
Fortunately for the rest of us, the blow
out was on front of the engine. completely

BOSTON, Feb. 4-nsquieting predic-
tions that a sugar shortage IS imminent
have been repeated during the past week
and seemingly have received some CON
firmation when in individual instances
some retail dealers have had TO tell
their customers - No sugar.
Yesterday information was received
from accredited sources in the sugar in
dustry to the effect that the apparent
shortage resulted from temporary inter
ruption of the arrivals of raw sugar
that the local refneries are now running
and that there is no danger of a shortage
and no basis for any . boost - in price
The temporary interruption was due
TO the storm which caused the Washing
ton theatre tragedy This storm held
up the arrival of several steamers which
were headed for the port of Boston with
raw sugar for the local market.
As result Of this, raw stocks dwin-
died until refining stopped 1t is under
stood that both local rehneries ceased
operations for a short time. but have re
sumed with the receipt Of fresh supplies
of the raw sugar As the approximate
capacity of the two rehneries is about
3,5G0000 pounds daily. the suspension
caused quite Il gap in the visible supply
