The Inflated train left San Antonio
at noon Thursday, two and aalf
hours late and at the time of the acct
dent was running at high speed in
order to make up time. The road az
the point where the wreck occurred
is in a rough country, the curves be-
| ing sharp and the grades heavy. II
was when rounding a curve that the
train left the track, 1t is said, on ac.
count of broken rail. All of the pas
sengers were asleep and the shock
that followed was the first intimation
they had of their danger.
The train was going at such a speed
that the tender and the engine landed
rs feet from where they left the rails.
The cars behind piled up against the
engine and caught fire and all were
consumed except the sleepers.
A private car, owned by Thomas
Ryan of New York city. with his fam
lily aboard, was attached to the rear of
the train but 1t was pulled away be
fore the fire reached 1t and no one on
it was injured.
All the injured In the coaches just
behind the express and baggage cars
were cremated. The people in the
sleepers were saved with the assist.
ance Of the uninjured passengers.
The wrecked train was the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio
westbound passenger No. 8, and con
sisted of an engine, mail car, baggage
car, coach chair cars, three tourist
sleepers, Pullman sleeper and one
private car.
The mail and baggage cars end
coaches were piled together against
the engine and were ablaze in few
seconds. 1t was impossible to move
any of the coaches or tourist cars as
they were all off the rails and were
soon consumed by flames. AS soon
as 1t was possible to get in communi.
cation with division headquarters re-
lief trains with surgeons and physi-
clans started from FL Paso, Del Rio
and Sanderson, picking up along the
line all the surgeons that could be
found. All of the injured, who were
in condition to be moved, were sent to
El Paso where they are receiving
careful attention
