(Lafayette Section)
Those wishing to take the early train
from here on Friday morning [Nov. 24] were compelled to wait
for more than an hour, wondering what had caused the delay. When at
last the train came in it was learned that the depot at Branchville
Junction was completely burned and the train from Newton to Branchville
was compelled to wait, not being able to pass the fire. This is a
serious loss and very inconvenient for those who are compelled to
wait at that place, sometimes for an hour. It will be rebuilt as soon
as possible.
