A REMARBABLE EsCAPE.-Speaking of the
accident which occurred on Friday last on the
Pennsylv vania railroad, near Summerhill sta
ton, this county, the Pittsburgh Dispatch
saws:
The Pacific mail is train that makes
three stoppages between here and Philadelphia,
and goes flying over the road at the rate of
forty miles an hour. Friday on its wav hither
it was checked III its mid career near Summer
hill, 1t is generally agreed that the cause was
a broken rail, but, however this may re the
cars left the track and rolled end over end
down an embaukment by the Pack Saddle"
In view of .the fact that Pack Saddle" is
some fifteen miles west of the scene of the ac-
cident, that is considerable of a roll we take
it.-ED. FREEMAN These two cars landed in
the creek at the bottom of the hill, mass of
shattered wood but of the occupants only
three were injured TO any extent Mr.. Shell,
tor OF the sleeping cars, were tolerablv well
battered, but not seriously injured. 4 lad
named DIETRICH, newsbov on the train. suffer
cd more severely. His right hand was so
crushed thgt amputatiou was rendered neces-
sury, and this was performed as soon rs posi-
ole after the occurrence of the disaster. After
the shock, and when the passengers had fin
isked counting up injuries, it was matter Of
general remark that the disaster had been pro
ductive OF DO loss of lie and so few wounds.
This, however. is attributable to the strength
OF the material in the cars ard the care with
which they are built. The decIiyitv down
which they went is but fifteen or twenty leet
but had the cars been old and weak the acci
dent would without doubt have resulted in L
painfully long list of killed and wounded
The passengers were detained about three
hours, during which time the company's Off
GERS did everything they could to make them
comfortable"
The passengers on the train svmpath izing
with the 1T wsboy injured, raised $ll4 for hun
before thoy left TIE scene of tile accident.
