TERRIFIC RAILWAY ACCIDENT DI

AMERICA.

TWENTY-THREE PERSONS KILLED, AZI.. 4
SEVENTY WOUNDED.

Another terrible accident, says the New Yeti
Daily Times, pf the 30th alt., occurred on the Carotin sad
Amboy Railroad, between this city and Philadelphia, as
noon yesterday, resulting, as nearly as we are yet able to'
ascertain, in the death of twenty-three persons, and swim
injury to some seventy others.
The particulars are as follows:

The morning mail train left Philadelphia at 10 a.m., and
reached Burlington (twenty miles) a few minutes &heed of
time—say a quarter of an hour after 11 o'clock. There
were six passenger cars in the train. By the rules of the
railroad company, the train first arriving at Burlington, •
which is the place for the meeting of the trains, is required
to wait ten minutes, and if the other train does not afire
then, the first is entitled to the road; both trains to rug
looking for each other. There it but a tingle track.
The up-train waited, according to orders, for the trsia_
from New York, and then came on. When about three
miles this side of Burlington the trains met, saw each other
in season to reverse, reversed rapidly, and the train whit&
bad left Burlington a few minutes before ran back for tree_
miles, until it had reached a trees road, half a mile this side:
of Burlington.
At this point a waggon with two hones, driven by Dr.
Hannegan, an old physician, residing just oat of Barlinsteac-
was craning the track as the train backed. The Waded
struck the horses, killing them instantly, and this sewed .
that car to be thrown from the track, while those in Mei ;
piled up on top of it. Four out of the six cars were timed-
off the meek in this manner, and three of them were stiselfr
destroyed. They were all well filled with passengers, need, •
all of whom were iejnred more or ler seriously.
We have received the following list of the killed, by tell.
