Awful Disaster in Liverpool

KLEOTRIO TRMN TAKES FIRE.

SIX PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH

IN A TWMNEL.

A fire, attended with very serious teßttltß, occurred shortly before sis ©•clock on Monday night, December 23rd, on <the Liverpool Overhead Railway, by which a passenger train which was pro • aeodlsg to oho Dingle was totally destroyed as was aleo the station at Dingle, and tix lives were lost. The Dingle station la approached from the nearest dock (the Hswnlaneana) by »tunnel 800 yards long bor«d through the solid sandstone rock, &ndt 100 feat or so below the level of the street, which is reached by gradually aleplog subw&ya. The aoofaent occurred under appalling elroantitanoeg. & train of three coaches lefti Beaforth at five o'clock with a considerable number of passengers, while others joined lti en route, bat by the time of the arrival at Hereukneum Doolr it is believed there were less than a drsn people on board. All went well until the train arrived In the tunnel, and waR within aboot) 80 yards of the Dingle station. Then the darkness of the tunnel waasHdtfenly illuminate* by two brilliant elestrio lashes in rapid succession, caused by the fusing of one of the electric motors. This bioaght the ttain to a standstill, and In a few.minntes flames appeared on the floors of th© carriages, and very rapidly the whole train became enveloped In fire

The alarmed passengers dropped in confusion five feet on to the floor of the tunnel, and as they did no the electric lights went oat. The flames spread to a stack of ereosoted sleepers stored !n the tunnel. Fanned by a strong currant of air Wowing tbroagh the tunnel,' which converted ft into a veritable chimney, the fire grew with awful swiftness. The station platform became ignited, and in a very short time bofch tunnel and under ground station were one terrible blaze, while dense, suffocating Bmoke filled the place. Passengers and officials straggled through to the platform, many being burnt In the process. Some were helped oat pore or less injured, bub six persons were either bamed to death or suffocated In the raging inferno. The Flse Brigade had been alarmed at ©noe, and were shortly on the scene in full force, but the greatest difficulty was experienced In petting to work, and owing to, the Sra and smoke practically nothing aould be done to save life at that mage. Ibwas hill past one In the morning be fore men could be got through to the platforms of the station, and there the bodies of the dead were found. The whole place was wrecked and desolate. Of the train nothing was left bat the iron framework, while a second empty train drawn up at the adjacent siding was in the : same,^ condition. The sleepers on the permanent way were burnt, the cables mined, and the lines twisted into tortuous shapes, while dense black smoke, noxious { with burning rubber and oresosote, ren dered the atmosphere almost unbearable Of the injured people three were treated at the hospital for smoke suffoca tion, and some others were dealt with at an idjscent undertaker's establishment. There is a possibility that a seventh life liM been loot, for a gentleman supposed to hare been a passenger on the train has not appeared at hie home, and it is feared that lie has perished. No bodies have been found beyond the six identified, and it is not yefc certain whether there has been any further fatality.
