TERRIBLE RAILWAY SMASH
SCOTTISH EXPRESS DERAILED BY A LANDSLIDE AT PULL SPEED London, January 20. The Midland Scotch express from London ran into a landslide at Lazoney (in Cumberland, thirteen miles southeast of Carlisle). The engine was overturned, and the carriages telescoped. Six people were killed and about twenty injured. The train was running at full speed at dusk, when the driver noticed a huge bank dropping upon the line. The engine became embedded and derailed, and the heavy train forced the foremost coach at'right angles across tbo rails, and it was smashed to atoms. Heroic rescue and first aid work was clone by military officers and mirses aboard' the train.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
