SERIOUS LANDSLIPS.
Received January 7, 8.52 a.m. BERLIN, January 6. While several hundred navvies were working in a twenty-five feet deep railway cutting near Bingen (a town at the junction of the rivers Rhine and Nahe) a series of collapses occurred, which buried many of the workmen. Fifteen dead bodies have been already recovered. The accident was due to thaw after a frost, and to the too perpendicular sides of the excavation.
