Terrible Railroad Slaughter.

On the Lehigh Valley Railroad, on
Thursday morning, two cars were
wrecked and five persons were killed.
AS the train was moving at full speed,
sixteen miles north of Maunch Chunk
the two rear cars were thrown from
the track down an embankment sixty
feet. Both were through cars for
Philadelphia and New York, respect
lively. Tumbling down the rocky en-
bankment they lodged a shattered
wreck on the ice, at the edge of the
Lehigh. The North Pennsylvania car
took fire, and the passengers, man
gled and dead, were barely rescued
before it was entirely consumed
Nearly all the passengers in the two
cars were very badly injured. five of
them dying on the spot. The forward
part of the train passed over the break
in the track safely, but the cars were
Jared and broken up badly. The
scene of the accident was just past q
sharp curve in the road. Had it been
ON the curve the whole train must
have gone down into the abyss; as it
was, those escaping, were saved only
by the breaking Of the connections.
The dead and wounded were extrica-
ted with difficulty. Many of those
not dead suffered severely from cold
as well as injuries. A negro woman,
