Healthy Growth.

n, L. Mills, Real Estate Broker-The
growth Of Houston is simply marvellous so
much so that at les present ratio OF I'M
proyement there ought TO be a local popu-
lation Of 100000 at the end OF i've years.
while at the end Of ten the figures ought
swell TO twice that number
This Ia not due to any boom. on the
contrary, it IS sound, healthfm growth
thar Is being recognized in all parts OF
the country.
TIE railroads are naturally aiding the
good work along, having already made the
city the greatest railroad center In the
South.
Another reason for the city's phenomenal
growth is It's aesirahllity as a residence sec
tiun. Its healthtul climate, caupcd with
It's neat appearance and excellent municipal
management. has led any number of mer,

SERIOUS WRECK IN THE

A small sized but expensive wreck
occurred about o'clock this morning
at the switch one hundred yards east
OF the Bridge street crossing.
One lumber car was demolished, an
other was badly wrecked and serious
injury was sustained by the switch
engine and a caboose.
The trouble appears to have been
caused by brakes not being set on the
lumber cars. which had been left on a
siding
These cars started for home, Slip
ping quietly down the gradius.
They got as far as the switch but
did not run out on the main track.
There was not room to clear and when
the switch engine logged down with a
caboose there was side-on collision
with the aforesaid result
The frog was broken and a little
track torn up, but the local wrecking
crew soon had the main track cleared
