HOUSTON, TEXAS, Feb. 8.–
Yesterday morning Major Maximilian F. de Bajlighthey, while going to his office, was run over and ground to pieces by an International and Great Northern train. For the last fifteen years he had been Chief Clerk in the City Assessor and Collector's office. Major de Bajlighthey was born in Austro-Hungary in 1813, and in the revolution of 1848 he espoused the cause of Kossuth and came to America in 1850 as a refugee. During the war between the States he was a member of the famous Terry Rangers. He was one of the party which buried the crown of King Stanislaus, which has never been found, those intrusted with the charge being sworn to secrecy.
