Battle Creek, Mich., July 13.- Passenger trains Nos. 3 and 10 of the Grand Trunk road collided at Penfield, six miles east of here, wrecking both engines and smashing the baggage cars. While no one was seriously injured, several people jumped from the trains in their alarm, and one woman passenger fainted. A confusion of orders is ascribed as the cause of the accident. Engineers Hudler and O'Dell stuck to their posts and escaped injury.
