| Accident on the Tap Road |
| The Houston, Texas, Telegraph
of the 7th instant says: |
| As the train on the Houston Tap
& Brazoria rail road was going out this morning, about a quarter
past 11 o'clock, about three miles from town, just this side of the
Bray's Bayou Bridge, the passenger car, the hindmost of the train, got
off the track. It was dragged thus for about one hundred yards, when
the connection broke, and it careened over into the ditch. The car was
crowded with passengers, many of them ladies. Quite a number of
persons were hurt, but none seriously that we could hear of, except C.
B. Sabin, Esq., of this city, who had an arm broken. A few of the
passengers returned to the city; most of them went on. It is a wonder
how so many escaped serious wounds, not to speak of a worse fate. |
