 READING, Pa, Oct 1G-Another terrible slaughter took place on the I4ehieh Valley railroad. This time 1t occurred on the Nsscoped branch of the road near Tamanend station. The locality, like that at Mud Run. where the fearful catastrophe took place last week, Is an isolated one, far off in the noun talus of the Schuylkill coal regions. There Is no telegraph station, operator or signal man there
 4 construction train left Delano station early Ill the morning to deliver material along the route to make repairs. It had on board between forty and fifty Italians and Hungerians The construction train had just stopped on the main track, and the worklnen were in the rear caboose or sitting on the cars next to it. They were just get ting off to unload some ties, when a last freight train flew around the curve and dashed into the caboose and cars Owing to the thick log, 1t could not be seen until it was on top of the unfortUnates 1t plowed it's way through the mass of men, sending their bodies right and left, while the broken tim oeTs flew in every direction
 Inc scene was an awful one There were heartrendlng cries from the dying and wounded, while the engine continued in it's merclless onslaught, until thrown off the track. John Golden, the brakeman of the freight, was killed outright. The smokestack of the freight engine was knocked off and, flying back, cut off his head. The engine made klndllng wood of the cabosse which was an old passenger car remodeled Scalding steam escaped from the engine, torturing the struggling victims buried ill the ruins
 SIX Of tue worknen were picked out of the ruins dead and horribly manglel, Twenty nVe others were taken out of the debris seri- ously and some fatally injured The six in- stant!y killed were: Josef Kornacki, Stanis- laus klusewitz, Joseph Loencki, Ludwig Piko, John Levinki and Michael Cathlicki. One of them was so badly cut up that pieces or hls flesh were picked up all along the track and put into a tool box
 Twelve of the most seriously injured were at once taken to the State Miners hospital, at Ashland. Two of them died on the way The other injured men were removed to their homes at Qelano, Quakoke, Mahony City and other small towns
 The names of the victims can not all be as- certalned as the contractors designated them by numbers, Nearly all were recent arrivals Ill this country. The officials will at once commence an Investigation as it Is claimed that the construction train should have been run on a siding
 Of the injured at the hospital several are expected to die. Engineer Peck and Con- ductor Hawk, of the freight jumped and were not injured. Those now being treated at the hospital are Andrew Bernoch, Michael Stefeansky, John Modda, John Gosper, John Suspowka, Michael Gotheow, Michael Bonl zlnski, Michael Guarish and John Metaska. ouSpo" ka and Metaska's deaths are expected hourly.
