RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN GERMANY.
PANIC AMONGST PASSENGERS.
(Received December 17, 8.50 a.m.) BERLIN, December 16. When the Harrasfelsen tunnel collapsed at Brainsdorf, the train was travelling at a high speed, and the debris was not noticed. The engine mounted upwards and struck the top of the tunnel. Masses of masonry collapsed, and six coaches were telescoped. Panic amongst the passengers followed, and in the darkness several were trampled to death whilst attempting to burrow a way out of the debris. Nine of the dead were fearfully mutilated, and fifteen were dangerously injured.
