Passeccer Train Knveloped In Burning Oil The Cars Consumed, Three VTomrn Bnrned to Death and Many Seriously In jured. BBAoronn, Pa Jan. U. A stream ot waste oil flowing from a tank across the Bradford, G 01 dell & Kiu cua Railroad caught fire this morning. A passenger train from Wellsville for Brad ford ran into it, and the train was imme diately enveloped in flames. The trace for a distance of one hundred yards was cov ered with oil. It is believed that gas, com ing in contact with the fire box of the en gine exploded, firing the oil, which spread on the wind, and enveloped the doomed train in an instant in a mass of flames. So Intense was the heat that the windows cracked and fell In. In less time than it takes to write it, a passenger coach and baggage-car were converted into a seeth ing, hissing cauldron ot fire. It was a ter rible moment. Tbe coach was filled. There was a rush for the doors;, but the heat was so intense that tbe panic-stricken passengers were driven back, and forced to jump through the windows, landing in the mow. A relief train with surgeons and cots was dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival 1 terrible sight presented itself. The pac scnger coach and loggage car were smok ng ruins.

For a distance ot nearly halt a mile the road bed was covered with oil. At points it was over the rails. The moment the gas came in contact with the fire-box it exploded, firing the oil. In less than one minut tbe engine and cars were enveloped In flames. Great black pillars ot smoke ascended heavenward. The driving wheels of the engine, which was dashing along at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, scattered the oil over everythliig with a rush and .oar which might have lieen beard for a mile. Tae flames leaped fully 230 feet nftead of the locomotive, which was thus compelled to run through a veritable sea of fire, such as is seldom tha fortune of manto witness." WRECKED OX TILE RAIL.

A COSTLY BLAZE. nnrnlng ot the Montezuma ITotrl at Lai Vegas Hut Sprinc. Jiew Mexico Sixty two Guests In the House, Bat all Eseap with the Loss of thttr Effects Ineffective Fire Service. Las VrcAS, X. 5I-. Jan. 17. The Montezuma Hotel, situated at tit springs, six miles from the city ot Las Vegas, one of the grandest boteleries in point of furnishing end surroundings, was completely destroyed by fire to-day. There was no loss of life, but there wai of course great excitement among the guests and many narrow escapes to people endeavor ing to save their property at the risk of their lives. The fire was discovered about noon by a servant who was cleaning up one of tha rr cepl ion-rooms on the second floor to the lah, of the main entrance. He saw smoke com ing through the floor near the steam cotL He first ran out into the hall and shouted fire, anl then running back into the room, tore tha radiator from its place. As be did this, the flames burst through and be had to run for his life. The tiro must have been burning some time, for almost at tic same Instant fire was d-scovcredbyene of tbe guests, who also shouted fire at the tap ot bis voice. The panic that ensued was almost inde scribable, and mot fortunate was it that the fire occurred in the day time and not at night. As it was, the hallways and rooms quickly tilled with a dense volume of black smoke tliat cnvelojied the entire interior of the building in almost midnight darkness, and the utmost confusion prevailed as the guests and employes rushed madly through the halls and endeavored 10 drag their trunks and other poscssions from their rooms. This confusion lasted for only a short time, owing to the fact that the peo ple nere soon all out ot the burning build-in-. Tbe hotel was not half full, there being only sixty-two guests, but there was a full complement ot servants and employes. Some of the guests probably one-lourth succeeded in saving a portion ot their pos sessions but the employes lost everything. Of course while all this was goin; on el forts were being made to stop ihe progress ot the flames. Tbe fire was so rapid that the means of fishting fir provided in the hotel could not be got to work. The fire de partment of the Spriugs was unable to dc anything to save the hotel. A special train lett Las Vegas in ten minutes alter the alarm was given with the fire department. Tee six miles were covered in nine minutes, and the engines ready for action. It was found the plugs were an inch smaller than tbe city hose, so no effective connection was made lor some time. Then tie only hope was to savo the boiler-bf-use ju; com pleted at a cost of "tO.'XIO and batn-housc that cost ?70JM. Tho latter's cornice blazed up several times, but was saved. The former escapod only because the trail J ing betn een it and the hotel was torn down. The Montezuma was first opened for bus iness April 7, 11. and was conidered the equal of any and the superior ot most places of public entertainment to be found at aur of the popular resorts in America, both on account of the completeness of its appointments anil the elegance end taste of its furnishings. The house conld comfort ably accommodate three hundred guests. The building was of framo. Queen Anne style, three stories high, gable roofed. There were 2J0 rooms, all furnished in a costly and elegant styie. There were la dies' and gentlemen's reception rooms and general parlors on all the floors, but the principal ladies parlor was on the second floor. This was lumUbed on a scale of ori ental magnificence. The bridal chambers were elaborately furnished and finished. They wefe furnished respectively in blue, red and ecru, the latter with dark garnet trimmings. In the upper stories were the sewing rooms. In the basement were the billiard-rooms and bowling alleys, all fur nished in native mountain pine. The ladies' billiard parlor was in the cupola of the building. AH around the front and sides Of the building extended wide balconies. The fire service was supposed to be per fect, and complete reliance was placed on it. There were stand-pipes and hose-reels on every floor, and it was considered al most impossible for fire to gain any bead way in the building. Tbe servants were completely drilled In the use of the appar atus, but all this seems to have been 01 no avail when the real test came. J. iL Barr, manager, and his wife, recen'lv married, lost all their personal affects. He deserves great credit for his presence ot mind and conrage. The loss is estimated at SSVWO; insur nnce, a little over 100,000. The guests, it is estimated, losa J),OJ0. Everything pos sible is being done to make them comforta ble. The hotel was the property of the Atchi son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Compa nv, and it seems to be considered as a mat ter of course that it will be rebuilt. AX0TI1ER HOTEL FIRE. Burning ot the Sowanee Snlphar Springs Hotel in Florida Two Lives Supposed tc be Lost All the Cnesta Escape. Jacksonville. Ful, Jan. 17. Xews reached this city this afternoon that the Siiwaneo Sulphur Spriugs Hotel, probably the finest structure of the kind in the State, burned at Suwanee, Fla., early this morning. Ihe nearest station is at Live Oak, fully twelve miles from the con flagration, and accessible only by a car riage road. The first news "at band reports that the fire suddenly broke out en the second floor of the Luilding, directly over the kitchen, about 4:30 o'clock this morn ing. Its origin is a mystery. A strong draft in the halls and high winds on the outside carried the flames along with great rapid-ty, and the whole building, a magnificent lour-sided, flve-turreted wooden structure, with a great open square In the center and 1:5 rooms, was quickly converted Into a roarin; furnace. Fully 100 guests were asleep in the house when the tl ames burst forth. Many of them were Invalids and nearlv all from Xorthern States Nearly all the guests were forced to escape by leaping from the windows and verandas, end several suffered broken IimlM, but no more serious injuries. A Mr. Palmer, said to be from Xew York, was badly singed by tbe flames, but his injuries are not dangerous. A colored servant girl and a negro buy are reported missing, and it is feared that both perisheiU Xo search ol the ruins has yet beeti possible. Xone o! the guests saved any of their property, anc the Io to the owners of the hotel was alte total, nothing but a small fraction of the office furniture being saved. The village possessed no conveniences for coping with such an extensive conflagration, and had other buildings lieen near the wnole town would undoubtedly have been swept away. The hotel and its iurniture were valued at SiVUt; the insurance aggresatessrl,00. The effects of the guests were, of course, uninsured, and their loss is total. A special train was sent from this city to their relict this afternoon. Somewhat Driuarallzcd. St. Locts. Mo.. Jan. IS.

Woolen dresses arc the favorite dwfc for street costumes this winter, aad when made of fabrics that are net toe heaw, arc also used for day elresses i the house line, soft stuffs that are ol light weight, and fall into graceful folds, are made up without aa estsid jacket or mantle, and are used a morn ing dresses that the wearer caa appear in at breakfast, and afterward sake useful 'or the street by fdding oae ol the long wraps that almost conceal tbe figure, such as a cloth redingote, a sod dolman, or a simple fur-lined circalsvr. The preference in such stuns is for solid colors of light brown and gray, sach tho new eolden brown, ecru, cuir aad French gray, and a contrasting color is often added to these to brightest the up. The fabrics most Hsed for the dresses are camel" s-hair, bison cloth and fine cashmere, either the Bicast ?;uallties made in France, orthegeawiava ndia cashmeres with very fine twHia, or that woven ia the xig-zag cEaddah lines- The vest, the high-standing- col lar, small turned-over cufls, and a slight baylavcuso plaiting art the plactaloc introducing a contrasting color, and the new fancy is to have this fabric of wool alio, though velvet is still used for such accessories. A postilion basque. ad a plaited skirt wdh draperies that art short and full on the hips and long be hind, are the directions generally gtvea for such a dress- A more aovel ar rangement of the skirt, seen ia imported dresses of this d-scriptioH. has very short bouflact drapery in the back, with the lower part turned under to fall likf a soft puff on the three wide box pUk that finish out the skirt to the foot. The front of such a dress may have s braided panel down each .side breadth, and either four or six plait dow& the front breadth: or there may tie two side breadths wider than panels, usually made of figured tapestry wool, or of cashmere like tho (Ikss, trimmed with drooping loops or pointed ends of chenille. Long straight effects are songht after in the elrapcry of such dresses, and in the lines of the frost and side breadths; they are also very bouffant, but the tendency now is to use ptds of hair and springs across the back of tho foundation skirt for enlarg ing the size, instead of adding volumi nous breadths of cloth. Here are very simple and stylish ways cf making loose, slender and bouffant drapery ol a singltr breadth of wide stnffs, but this full width needs to be firmly fastened along all the edges, leaving nothing to hang or get out of order. To do this, the Tower end is first sewed across t the foundation skirt; the material hi then turnzd up to the belt, and sewed there in two very full box plaits. The draping is next done by a cluster ol plaits folded closely together rather low on each side, with their edges sewed underneath quite out of 'sight; higher up in the middle of the breadth another full thick bunch of folds is taken, tacked permanently, and hidden in f s fullness of tbe double box plaits of Uie top. Some modistes add two or three rows of plaited wigging ins'de the belt to serve as a bustle, while others prefer the pillow-shaped pad filled with hair. Ihe draperies aenws the front and Up of dresses with plaited skirts or wka panels are necessarily very short, and may be made straight across in a wrinkled apron, or they may be paniers that are lappM across the front, or else they may be continuations of two single breadths used for the tack drap ery, extended along below the belt, covering the hips, and meeting in fropt. where thev are ornamented with rosettes or jlol bows of velvet or satin ribbv-t. U tgured tapestry is used for the front breadth or for side panel it also forms a vest. The favorite shape for such vests is a single piece in liretoB fashion that laps across the lining when it meets in front, and is buttoned on one side; a row of buttons and of button holes is placed on the opposite side pre cisely like the one that is made uso oL A standing collar of the material of the vest is at least an inch and a half high, and there is a rolling collar below this of the material of the basque- As we have said before, the cuirass, or Jersey basque, which is straight around the hips. lias lost favor, anil the postilion is used instead: this is shaped like a riding-habit waist, but is ampler, with two lonscr sloping points in front, and is vcrv much broader across the plaited square that falU below the waist in the back: the sides are very short, indeed, scarcely extending beyond the waist line. When a vest if not inserted such a postilion may be made dressy by a standing collar of velvet, and a rolling collar, also of velvet, that may be lengthened into revers. Orifbra:dis employed for trimming, five or six rows of braid arc placed straight down the. front each side of the buttons; but these rows of braid must not extend along the sides of th basque as they are merely meant to suggest and outline a vest, Harper' Bazar. Irrepressible as Ever. There was a great commotion oa Washington street the other afternoon. The na-s of snow which had been held by the frot immovable upon the root of a high building, relaxed bv the sud den thaw, began to slide and fell in a white and smothering c ascade upon the crowded sidewalk. By leaping wildly into the middle of the'street and dodg ing into the doors of convenient shop nearly everybody escaped the ava lanche, but one unfortunate man wa; caught by it and completely buried front sisht. Immediately thc peoplt who had avoided a share in his mis fortune rushed to his assistance. One man groped into the snow and caught him by the leg: another gt a purchase on his arm. and others gripping him by clothing and body, in due time he was brought to his leet again. He pre sented a sorrowful spectacle, however. His bat looked like a half-inilated ra certina, his coat was torn, and his cel lar hung only by the button on the back of his shirt, 'and wherever he disclosed a lodging place for the snow ia his rai ment or person, there the chilling cle ment had established itself. He was apparently lifeless also, aad a great crowd coll.-cted. with every manifesta tion of svmpathy. The stranger soon revived, he sighed and opened his eyes, the flush of life returned to his ashen cheek.
