Probate ana . Notice OF Appeal
Given-Iocal Notes.

Galveston, Texas, December 4. The
wreck In the Santa Fe yards last night
OF the local passenger train from Houston
proved more serious than was at frs,
thought. when Engineer Husscy was car
ried to his homo he was not considered
fatally injured but at 1880 o'clock this
morning he died from tho injuries. Fire
man Thomas Kelley is bsly bruised. but
will recover.
Tho accident occurred ut Fifty -second
street, Just within the corporate limits
OF the city. and came about In way that
is liable to occur In any railroad yard. A
switch engine was working freight
train and two cars loaded with corn had
been cut OF from the string OF cars which
1t was pulling and Kicked" them back
on to switch They rolled farther than
expected and stopped directly across the
main track. The engineer OF tho yard
engine hnding that the cars had stopped
on this track and realizing that the pas
senger train was then due. made an effort
TO back up and push the cars clear, but
was too late. and Engineer Husseys train
crashed into them, going ut thirty or thir-
ty-tiye miles an hour, the cars and engine
being completely demolished,
When the ears were discovered by Engi-
neer Hussey he shut off steam and applied
the brakes. but the intervening distance
was too short t. check the train at tho
speed at which he was running. He stuck
to his post. however, aud gave his lilo
in the attempt to save his train and the
passengers.
A train WINS sent out TO convey the in
jured men and passengers TO tho city and
a wrecking train Immediately began to
clear the track.
