Steel Cars

Steel Cars.—There is one thing worthy of notice in a recent wreck on the Southern Pacific. Usually wooden tourist cars have been crushed to pieces; but in this wreck the steel tourist car in the middle of the train left the track, tore through the buffet car, and landed on its side in the ditch; but with every berth in the car occupied, not a single occupant was killed or even seriously injured. All were able to collect their scattered clothing and dress undisturbed by the fear of fire. Travelers ought to be glad that steel is so rapidly replacing wood.
