The pumping plant. in the same build ing, consisting of a high power oil, engine and' pump,-was seriously damaged The two locomotives present a most dilapidated appearance in day light. AH the light fixtures are buck3led or torn off by -the excessive heat. There will no interruption in the service as a special arrives here to night with other locomotives.
