Norfolk & Western Coal Shute [sic] Burned
------
The coal shute of the Norfolk and Western Railway at Crewe was burned Wednesday [November 16] evening. The shute was finished last summer and cost many thousands, being up-to-date in every particular. It is thought the shute took fire from spontaneous combustion, as the blaze was first seen in the top of the structure. It is a heavy loss to the railroad company.
