Macon, Ga, Jan. ia head-on col
lision occurred miles north of Byron,
on the Southwestern division of the
Central railroad, yesterday morning,
which resulted in about as complete a
smash-up as could have been possible
without somebody being seriously in
jured or killed. AS it is, only two big
engines are demolished and a few
freight cars badly wrecked, with two
or three persons slightly injured.
The southbound train, in charge of
Engineers Hughes and Conductor Mar
tin, was speeding on it's way to Co
lumbus between Echeconne and Byron,
as usual yesterday morning. Within
2 miles of Byron, on sharp curve,
the nOrthbound extra, in charge of En-
gineer Patterson and Conductor Lath-
am, was seen by Engineer Hughes
coming in the opposite direction. At
the same time the engineer on the
uorthbound extra saw the train ap-
preaching from the Echeconnee side.
Both engineers reversed their levers
and as soon as possible jumped. The
trains had reached a moderate rate of
speed when the clash came, although
both engines were almost completely
demolished and a number of freight
cars were also wrecked.

Crowd Reviewing Procession.
The crowd which lined the route
from Buckingham palace to Westmin-
ster to review the procession was not
nearly so large as on the occasion of
the last opening of parliament. Guards
men assisted by hundreds of police
kept the spectators back. Only few
attempts at decoration were visible.
For once royalty was late, and when
the king and queen drove out from the
courtyard in front of Buckingham pal
ace they were 90 minutes behind time,
and King Edward was still struggling
with an unruly glove.
| Their majesties were greeted en-
| Enthusiastically. AS they sat in the great
state coach, whose gilded pinnacle
brushed the boughs of the trees in the
green park, King Edward and Queen
Alexandra looked for all the world like
fluttering painting of Henry VIII
and one of his better looking spOuses
| They bowed somewhat wildly from
their huge gold and glass frame, which
shook and reeled on it's ancient springs
| like a ship in a storm. The king and
queen both looked extremely WELL but
her majesty appeared to be in especial
| ly good health.
What, with the two central figures
| so easily seen and so gOrgeously clad
and the brilliant escort of life guards,
whose band kept constantly playing,
| the public were rewarded for their
| long, cold wait by a spectacle of con-
stant interest, though so far as unre-
strained public enthusiasm was con-
| cerned it was nothing to what occur
red earlier in the day when the
| guards reinforcements left their bar
racks enroute to South Africa. The
| guardsmen tramped through the dark
streets of the metropolis at o'clock
! in the morning, accompanied by an
uproariOus mob of civilian friends
| singing songs to the accompaniment of
| the band The songs and music, how
| ever. did not drown the crying Of
women who clung to the necks and
| arms of almost every man of the con-
| tingent.
