Moving Freight Car On Fire.

A remarkable fire broke out on a Scotch express while traveling from Hellifleld to Manchester the other day, the outbreak being due, it Is stated, to a spark from the engine. The express was passing through the Brownhlll cutting, situated between Wilpßhire and Blackburn, when It was discovered that the fish wagon in the center of. the train was alight. An alarm was raised, the train pulled up, and the officials were soon able to subdue the fire. Large quantities of kippers and other fish, in a partially cooked state,, were thrown out on the embankment, and attracted the attention of the public, who secured the better portion and conveyed it home. The fish wagon was quickly uncoupled and shunted on to a siding, and the train resumed its journey after a delay of about a couple • of hours. —London Mail.
