IN CITY AND COALFIELD

Car Load of Horses
    Yesterday a car load of fine bred horses was switched to train No. 4. The horses were from East St. Louis, Ill, and were en route to the training farm at Suffolk, Va.
[A horse car on No. 4?  Maybe in a baggage-type car.]

ALL STEEL CARS
------
Roanoke Shops Will Soon Complete Last of Order of Five Hundred
    Roanoke Times: The Norfolk and Western shops soon will complete the last of five hundred all steel hopper coal cars which recently were ordered to increase the equipment of the road. When the last car leaves the shops, it will be the completion of the largest single order for all steel cars that the Roanoke shops ever received.
    Delivery of these cars was begun February 3, so that when the last car leaves the shop, little more than two months will have elapsed since the order was placed.   Some idea of the equipment of the Roanoke Shop can be had from the fact that these cars were constructed and delivered at the rate of ten or eleven each day.
    As soon as this large order is filled the shops will begin work on five hundred all steel gondolas, the order for which has been placed.

FELL FROM ENGINE
------
J. R. Winters Badly Injured at Flat Top Last Night.
    Engineer J. R. Winters fell from his engine at Flat Top last night about 
11:30 o'clock, while working on the injector and sustained a broken arm as well as internal injuries.. When he arrived in this city, to which place he was brought in a cab, pulled by his fireman, J. Edward Hubble, he was partially conscious and hope that he was not fatally injured was held out. He was taken to a hospital for treatment. Engineer Winters lives on Pulaski street.
