The ill-fated train left San Antonio
at noon Thursday, 2H hours late, and
at the time the accident occurred was
running at high rate of speed in or
der to make up time. The road at the
point where the wreck occurred is in a
rough country, the curves being sharp
and the grades heavy. 1t was when
rounding a curve that the train left
the track. it is said, on account of a
broken rail. The hour was three a. m,
Is hours after the train had left San
Antonio, showing that it was still be-
hind time. All the passengers were
asleep and the shock that followed
was the first intimation they had Of
the danger.
Burned to DEATH.
The train was going at such rate of
speed that the tender and engine land
ed Is feet from where they left the
rails. The cars behind piled up against
the engine, caught fire and all were
consumed except the sleepers. All
the injured in the coaches just behind
the express and baggage cars were ere
mated. The people in the sleepers
were saved with the assistance of the
unin: ured passengers.
The wrecked train was the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio west
bound passenger No. 0, and consisted
of an engine, mail car, baggage car,
one coach. one chair car. three tourist
sleepcrs, one Pullman sleeper and one
private car. The mail car, the bag
gage car and coaches were piled to-
gether against the engine and were
ablaze in a few seconds. 1t was impos-
sible to move any of the coaches or the
tourist cars, as they were all off the
rails, and they were consumed by the
flames.
So soon as it was possible to get in
communication with the division head
quarters a relief train with surgeons
and physicians were started from Ell
Paso, Del Rio, and Sanderson, picking
up along the line all the surgeons that
could be found. All of the injured
who were in a condition to be moved
were sent to FL Paso, where they are
receiving careful attention.
