RAILWAY DISASTER
FORTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.
(United Press Assn.— By Telegraph—Copyright) Moscow, May 29.
Though it happened on April 16, details of the railway holocaust have only now leaked out through the arrest of the officials concerned. It appears that somebody spilled methylated spirits from a train near Domodedovo and a passenger dropped a lighted match, which set a carriage on fire from end to end, resulting in 45 being incinerated and 23 injured.
