FOG IN ENGLAND
TR.LFFIC ACCIDENTS CAUSED. THREE MEN FATALLY BURNED. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright) London, December 17. A dense, blackish fog is spreading over London and the Midlands. In addition to causing many traffic accidents and delays, it was responsible for John Cartledge, en-gine-driver, Frederick Walker, shunter, and Henry Wilkinson, tipper, being instantaneously burned to death owing to the overturning of a wheeled ladle containing molten metal at the Appleby works. An empty train, having tipped out the slag, collided, while descending the bank, with an invisible upcoming train hauling three ladles, the first of which tipped into the engine cab in which the victims were riding.
