Set fire to wrecked train.

On Saturday evening about 8.30 two freight trains came together near the Bathurst St. bridge, Toronto, the accident being caused, it is said, bu one of the engineers being given the wrong signal. The impact was terrific and several of the cars took fire, necessitating the calling of the College St. fire reels. The fire was extinguished before much damage was done to the cars. The freight train of this division was in charge of Conductor Thos. Cliff, who together with his crew escaped without a bruise. The wreck blocked not only the G.T.R. lines to the Union Station, but also the C.P.R., all the C.P.R. trains going west having to leave the city by way of Leaside Junction.
