WERE BURNED IN STEAM.

The Kentland Enterprise contained the following further particulars of the manner in which Patrick Keefe and James Roberts of that place met their death in the railroad wreck at Litchfield, 111., last week: “One of the cars in their train landed across the engine and was filled with clouds of hot steam. It is supposed Keefe and Roberta were in this oar. They seem to have qniokly got out of the oar and though considerably cat and bruised, and badly soalded, they secured a cab and drove clear through the city to a Catholic hospital, and walked unaided from the street into the hospital. Their outer injuries were not serious,bat both died from the effects of the hot steam they had breathed; Keefe in about eight and Roberts in abont ten hours,” It will Day yon to bay clothing at the “Ideal,” 25 per cent reduction sale.
