Burning of a Railroad Train
I=
Last Tuesday evening's eastward
hound - passenger train on the \Vent
NViseonsin Railroad met with a terri
ble catastrophe while nearing. Tomah.
The iioods in the vieitilly 4 bad. been on
lire for Pole dale, and a pile of aliclpt
hundred hard oak ties, seasoned
two years, which were placed along the
track a'outit, t%elvv wiles from Tomah
were soon stil9ect to the dertruclice
element
"The danger to the train," says the
Milwaukee Newt, "was not apparent
until the engine had turned a curve a
short distance trout the fire in the road
and was nipronebing on a down grade.
The engineer immediately whistled
'down brakes,' but seeing that this
would stop lion in the fire, he Whistled
"off brakes," and putting on all steam
possible determined to run the gaunt
let. The rails had been so badly
wstiped and the ties consumed tint the
engine was soon thrown from the track,
lumping along on the ties until it *as
finally brought to a halt, with the en
gine and lender. just through the fire,
and a ladies ear at the other end of the
train was also free. The engine and
tender were immediately uncoupled
mini run out to a place of safety, and
the passenger car also disengaged and
removed, although not before it was
badly scorched and the glass broken
from the windows. The rest, of the
train, consulting of one baggage car,
one second class and two freight cars,
was tottirely consumed.'
"The express messenger, saved all
is money. packages, amounting to $2,-
OM The mail agent, Curtis Packer,
was able to save nothing. o There were
five or six ladies on the train, besides
25 men, who are entitled to thanks for
their efforts in behalf of the train. The
men if o r ked hard all night, and at
times the . % were obliged td throw water
on Or back' of the men to keep their
clothes from burning. The cars, how
ever, were burned up in about fifteen
minutes. The engine was a he'avy
one, of thirty ions, and luckily escaped
the fate of the cars."

—Ono of otu exchanges speaking of the
Schuylkill miners' strike, says: ttTbe Schuyl
kill county coal miners' strike is doing incal
culable Injury to that region. ,The trade is al
ready diverted to a large extent to the other
anthracite coal Ileitis, and bituminous coal
is taking the place of ' anthracite in many
branches of manufacture. It will take many
months to bring back the trade to its former
channel., and It is doubtful whether Schuyl
kill county will ever recover her lost growl&
The miners so far from benefiting themselves,
are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
