Altoana, Pa.. Jan. 26.- About 10 o'clock Monday night a sleighing party of forty persons from Tyrone drove into a quarry at Pemberton, six miles below that place. The sled, horses and pleasure seekers were precipitated fifty feet to the bottom of a precipice, where they lay in a great mass. Twenty persons were badly injured. As soon as the news reached Tyrone a special train was fitted out and all the doctors in the town were conveyed to the scène. The party was mostly made up of young people. Boys and girls with arras and legs broken and with blood streaming from their wounds, lay in drifts of snow. The mercury stood at 3 degrees below zero, adding to the horror of the catastrophe. The following is a partial list: Alice Madden of Little Washington: Jessie Stone, Bellfontaine: Eugene Crampton, Tyrone: William Jones, Tyrone; Howard Templeton, Tyrone. These are al! badly hurt.
