BURIED ALIVE. Rescuers Overwhelmed. MANY DEAD AND INJURED. A terrible accident occurred on Friday evening on the new railway line in course of construction near, Binger (Ger- many). A large number of navvies were at work on a deep cutting when the banks col- lapsed and many were buried alive. A second collapse occuwed while resuegangs were at work. Eighteen corpses have so far been dug out and about 20 dangerously injured men. Further details of the collapse show the accident was most serious. It appears that a shaft collapsed on Friday evening, bury- ing two meu. A party of workmen were immediately despatched to the scene to attempt to extricate their buried comrades. After they had entered the shaft a fresh collapse occurred, burying some 30 or 40 of the rescuers. Doctors, with another rescue column, went to the spot. and the men worked'all night, removing masses of earth. The work was much impeded by continuous fresh falls of soil. By six a m. on Saturday ten dead and fifteen in- jured, including three children, had been re- covered. Twenty persons are said to be still rntombed. It is stated that the hill, on which were a number of people watching- the rescue work, crumbled away, the soil being loosened by the thaw, and several onlookers were buried. The aerident on the railway works was pro- bably due to the soil in the eastern side of the cutting, in which borings had been made, being softened by the tuaw, thus causing a landslide. —Router.
