all went as smoothly as a marrlage.pell
until lear Oswego, in Kansas, a 'wlld
engine which had run away from a
station sans engineer or fireman came
c~areering toward us ct a rate OF ABOUT
fity-6ve miles an hour. Our engineer
fortunately saw it coming and stopped
his train, else the disaster would have
been more serious. As it was, both en-
gines we're crushed to atoms, and one
passenger car on our train was pretty
badly wrecked. Fortunately no one was
seriously injured. and only n or two
persons were slightly hurt. Alter this
no accident took place. The important
places passed through, not already men
toned, were, Parsons. Kan, Vinita. l.
T., Denuison, Greenvflle, MineoIa.
Tyler, Troupe, Palestine, Trinity.
Houston, aud finally Galveston. On the
return Houston was visited for a day
then the excursion ran west over the
Sunset Route $50 miles. to San Anto-
nio. where. another day was spent;
thence to Austin. the beautiful capital
city, where the better part OF a day was
passed in sightseeing. The trip home
was delightful. the weather all the time
having been cool, and was made by a
different route almost entirely, although
over a road controlled by the Missouri
Pacific company, at whose invitation the
excursion was made. From Austin the
route crossed the one taken going down
between Palestine and Troupe and led
tot st. Lonis, via Marshall, Jefferson.
Texarkana. Little Rock, Poplar Bluff
and Iron Mountain. We cannot now do
anything like justice to the receptions at
Galveston. Houston, San Antonio and
Austin, and what was seen IN the various
places, and must for the present desist.
We will say this much, though, that
everywhere in Texas were to be seen
evidences of thrift and prosperity, OF
education and refinement. of hospitality
and kindness, and that her cities were a
surprise to all who saw them in that
they were vastly more substantial, in
architecture especially, than was
thought. The knowledge OF Texas
gained by the Missouri editors on this
trip will be of advantage to both states,
as they have many interests in common.
