Three Brave Train Crews.
Chicago, Jan. 17.- The crews of three switch engines executed a daring feat on Sunday night in coupling to and bailing out from a burning building a freight car loaded with gunpowder, the car itself being in a blaze at the time. This heroic deed was enacted at the burning of the transfer house o the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company in South Chicago, and the brave men concerned in it saved an unknown number of lives -and thousands of dollars' worth of property.
