A TERRIBLE WRECK. Collision era 1'ntslmgel• Train, O{•il88 n fnitle Train lin 1lnng:t'y, A Buda Pesti, telegram says :—A pas stinger way train tool a cattle train collided near Gran today. The cattle train was heav- ily loaded and its impetus forced the loco- motive over the loeomo)ive of the passenger train and into the first, and second carriages. The other carriages of the passenger train were partially smashed. In the first Car• riages three persons were killed instantly and 10 more were severely, perhaps fatally injured. In the second carriogo 15 persons were injured two so seriously teat they are oxpeoted to die. In the other carriages 13 persons were out or bruised, but none dangerously. The engine drivers of both trains were terribly burned, but may re- cover. Three hundred head of cattle were killed, Most of the injured who could be moved have been taken to the Grau hospital. The misplacement of a switch is .supposed to have caused the accident. Tho Feeding of Schoolgirls.
