A street was literally set on fire at Buda-Pesth, Ilungary, a short time ag"o. A giass carboy, filled with benzine, accidentally feil from the car in wliich it was being hauled. Of course, it broke, and the benzine ran over the street and through the slot into the conduit of the electric railroad. An electric car passed just at that time, a spark flew out between the trolley and the conductor in the conduit, and the benzine burst into a sheet of flame. The frig-hten ed passengers escaped somehow, and then everybody had to wait until the fire burned itself out.
