Another Account.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 10.-The ac-
cident on the Lehigh Valley road at Mud
Run. near Penn Haven, is beyond all
question the most awful disaster that
ever happened in this part OF the state.
Though no details can be learned there is
no doubt that the number of killed will
reach nearly eighty, and the injured
nearly double hat number.
The trains were excursion trains return
ing from a celebration at Hazelton, the
annual parade of the Catholic temperance
societies of the Scranton diocese. Thou
sands of people went down to Hazelton
from the the towns of Luzerne and Lack
a counties.
Seven trains with cars filed to the
doors, passed through White Haven this
morning taking the old route. On the
return the first train left Hazelton about
5 p. m., the others following as rapidly as
it was deemed safe.
The first three sections came through
without accident, the disaster happening to
the fourth and fifth sections. For some
reason not explained the fourth section
was standing on the track near the little
station of Mudrun, 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, and the others
crushed against them cutting on the other
side.
Upto this writing no direct communi-
cation has been received from tile scene
of the disaster and the railroad officials
here, if they know anything, absolutely
refuse to CIV any information.
At | o'clock this morning reports about
the accident are still very conflicting. 1t
is known. however, from dispatches re-
ceived at the depot that the accident is
quite as bad as at first reported, and that
at least thirty or more are killed. Nothing
can be obtained at the c%ompany's Office,
which is closed to reporters and others.
One train has been started from the
wreck and it is expected to arrive here
about 4 o'clock this morning.
Most of the injured are said to be from
Scranton and Lackawanna counties.
Arrangements have been made to ad-
init the injured to the Wilkesbarre hos
pltal. 1t is impossible to get details until
NV hioe ocOliOn VI iut Ithlu COu1BS, WHICH
will not be until 3 O'Clock or later. The
train is carrying the wounded.
