 BRADFORD, Jan. 15.-Ths fire in the pan of the engine attached to passenger train on the Bradford, BordelI and Kinzua railroad, while running through 6 stream of oil which came from an oil well that had been tapped near the track this morning, caused the gas arising from the escaping fluid to explode, and soon the whole roadbed for some distance cated to the csrs and spread SO rapidly that in twinkling the whole train was one burn ing mass. The greatest excitement prevailed among the passengers and several of them rushed out upon the platforms and leaped from the rapidly moving cars, while others crawled through the windows, only to be maimed or killed by falling under the wheels Those who remained in the cars were badly burned, some fatally.

The num- ber of persons burned or ir jured will reach 6 total of thirty, some of whom are so badly injured that they will in all probability die. Several of the persons extricated from the wreck have their limbs charred SO badly that they will haxe to be amputatsd. The cars of the train were almost totally wrecked.
