Forty Persoas Reported Killed IN Rail
road Collision.
WuKEsBARRE (Pa). October 10th.-A special
train on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, carrying a
WilkeSbarre delegation home from the Hazel
ton Father Mathew celebration this evening,
was wrecked above Penn Haven. 1t is reported
that several cars were completely wrecked, and
some forty or more persons killed IL is i'm
possible SO far to get particulars at this end.
THE AWFUL REPORT CONFIRMED.
PoTTsvILLE (Pa), October 10th.-Information
reached this city tonight of terrible accident
which occurred on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
at Mud Rum the first station above Penn Haven.
A 6. and parade OF Catholic societies took place
at Hazleton to-day, and large excursion was
run from WllkeSbarre tor the occasion, COM
posed of Lodges, bands and sight-seers from
Wilkesbarre and other points along the line OF
the excursion.
The train was run in two sections, and upon
their return trip tonight the rear section ran
into the forward section at Mud Run, about
o clock with disastrous results Several cars OF
the forward section were telescoped, and
FORTY PERSONS WERE KILLED OUTRIGHT
And about an equal number injured, many CT
them probably fatally. The late hour at which
the accident occurred the remote and isolated
locality of the scene, and the reticence of the
railroad people combine to render the obtain
ment of details extremely difficult. 1t is i'm
possible TO ascertain the names or residences of
any of the victims, but their number is stated
above with approximate accuracy.
LATER-EIGHTY REPORTED KILLED.
WILKEsBARRE, October 10th.-The accident on
the ,Lehigh Valley road was the most awful
that has happened in this portion of the state.
Though the details cannot be learned, there is
no doubt that the number killed will reach
nearly eighty, and the injured nearly double
that number.
For some reason not explained the fourth sec
tion was standing on the track near the little
station of Mud Run, five miles below White
haven, when the fifth section shot around the
curve close behind and crashed into it.
The cars were smashed and broken and hurled
off the track. The road lies close beside the
Lehigh river, a steep embankment sixty feet
high running down to the water Several of
the cars rolled down this.
STILL LATER.
At l o'clock this morning the reports about
the accident are still very conflicting 1t is
known, however, from dispatches received at
the depot that the accident is quite as bad as at
first reported, and that at least thirty or more
are killed.
A train has been started from the wreck, and
it is expected to arrive here about o'clock this
morning.
The cars were all crowded. chiefly with
women and children.
Passengers arriving by the Central road say
the groans and shrieks of the victims could be
heard across the river where the tracks of the
Central run.

Terrible Disaster ia Fog Off the New
foundland Coast.

Copyright, 1855, Oy the California associated Press
NEW YORK, August lOth.-The National Line
steamer Queen arrived here to-day and reported
TO have been in collision with the fishing
schooner Madeline on the 5th instant. The col
lisiOn occurred at $50 A NJ in q fog off the bank
of newfoundland. The Madeline was struck
smidships and sunk almost Immediately. The
Captain. first and second mates and steward of
the Madeline were rescued, after being in the
water nearly an hour. The crew, numbering
twenty, were lost. The Queen lost her bow
spirit and foremast. The Madeline was a French
fishing schooner.
STATEMENT OF THE sCHooNER's CAPTAIN.
Another account says the collision occurred
on the 4th instant, and states the number lost
to be twenty-five and the survivors of the Made
line crew at four. The Madeline was French
schooner and hailed from Granville Her crew
consisted of the Captain, first mate, second mate
and twenty sailors and the cook The master
of the Madeline says: 1.-THE Madeline sailed
from Granville eight months ago, and, having
had good catch of fish, had started for Havre
the night before the collision The Made
line was sailing with q light breeze, from
three to four miles per hour, when the
Queen, going at full speed, struck her. 1t
was very foggy and the first seen of the steamer
was her lghis close aboard. had not time to
give signal direction. The steamships iron
bow struck the Madeline on the starboard side,
directly amidships, and cut her in two. Before
we cou'd d lift hand to get the boats the vessel
had sunk The next thing 1 knew was that
was struggling in the water. Two boats were
lowered from the Queen and was taken aboard.
The crew were asleep in their hunks at the time.
Those on deck alone were saved. 1t was i'm
possible for the Madeline to have avoided the
collision, as the steamer was going at great
speed"
ALMOST A PANIC ON THE STEAMER.
Itwas only after long cropping through the fog
by the boats of the Queen that the four men
rescued were picked up. The Queen carried l49
cabin passengers and 275 in the steerage. She
left Queenstown from Liverpool September Goth.
Great CONSERVATION prevailed among the pas
sengers of the Queen at the time of the collision
and it was with difficulty that panic, which
would probably have resulted in loss of life, was
prevented.

The Dominion Government Organ Says
Canada Has Been Insulted


TORONTO, October 10th.-The Umpire the chic
Government organ in Canada asks: Has it
ever happened in the history of the world that
one country took such liberty with the posses
sions of another as the United States is doing
with Canada, without having first resolved
upon going to war with the insulted nation ?'
And after long argument in the negative, it
says: We are five millions of British subjects,
and although we have submitted patiently to
the United States interference by methods
more offensive than language can well express
sides OF the International boundary all fair
minded men must agree that the dignity and
honor of both countries call for the abandon
ment of an attitude which conveys standing
insult and menace to the Canadian Dom inion .
