EARLY MORNING COLLISION.
A Head End Wreck On the Houston and
Texas Central

A Head End Wreck On the Houston and
Texas Central.
A collision on the Houston and Texas
Central between a passenger train and a
stock train occurred yesterday morning
about a mile and half south OF Millican
and about eighty miles north of this city.
Fortunately the two trains came together
on straight track and the horror Of a
collision ON a sharp curve was narrowly
averted. Had the stock train been min
ute late the two trains, running at full
speed, would have met rounding bend
and the result might Rave been the sacri-
flee of many lives. As IL was. no one was
injured and the damage was cortlned
10 me loss or about fifteen head of cattle
ana the smashing Of one or two stoc.
cars and slight damage to the passenger
coaches, with both engines badly disig-
ureu but not seriously damaged
The passenger train was the regular
southbound express, due to arrive In
Houston at 5:S5 a. m. ard the stock train
ms TO the inform6 ton given at company
headquartesr, the meeting place OF the
Two trains was to be at M.ilican, but
misinterpretation or oversight of orders
accounted for the passenger train loav-
Ing Milliean on time, at 2:3s a. M. and
the meeting of the two trains a mile and
q half from that station was the first
intimation the crews had that anything
was wrong. The discovery of a train
ahead on the main track startled the en-
ginemen of both trains and an effort
was made to avoid q collision. The pas
senger train was almost brought to a
standstil, but the speed OF the freight
train was not so easily controlled, al
though the prompt and heroic efforts OF
the brave engineer OF the stock train
brought the speed down to about ten
miles an hour when the two iron monsters
embraced each other. Both locomotives
suffered considerable damage and the ter
rife shock burst asunder the drawhead Of
the passenger coaches and crushed sew
eral platforms. Two Of the cattle cars
we're badly wrecked and beef was scat
tered in every direction. About fifteen
head, were killed and about as many IN
)ured.
The passenger train reached Houston
ahont seven hours late, looking soniew hat
