| A Railroad car destroyed by fire |
| The mail and baggage car
on the train from Cedar Keys to Fernandina {on
the Florida RR}, was destroyed by
fire, near Otter Creek, on the down trip of the 4th inst. The train
was under head way at the time, and the fire not being discovered in
time to extinguish it, the entire destruction of the car,
with its contents, was the consequences. The mails, some little
baggage, and a few packages of freight were also consumed. |
