In the early morning hours a fire broke out in the engine house of the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Railroad at its depot in Manchester, several miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Damage was reported as heavy with eight P.& C. R.R. locomotives destroyed. Eventual estimates reached no more than $10,000 in damage and no-one was injured. (By John Osborne)
