The Inflated train left San Antonio
at noon on Thursday, two and one-half
hours late, and at the time the acct
dent occurred was running at a high
rate of speed in order 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 curve
that the train left the track, it is said,
on account Of a broken rail. The hour
was 8 n. M. fifteen hours after the train
had left San Antonio, showing that 1t
was still behind time All the passen-
gers We're asleep and the shock that
followed was the first intimation they
had of danger The train was going
at such rate of speed that the tender
and engine landed seventy five feet
from where they left the rails. The
cars behind piled up against the en-
CINE, caught fire and all We're consumed
except the sleepers. A private car,
owned by Thomas Ryan, of New York,
with his family aboard was attached to
the rear of the train, but it was pulled
away before the fire reached it and no
one was injured. All the injured in the
coaches just behind the express and
baggage cars We're burned to death.
The people in the sleepers We're saved.
with the assistance of the uninjured
passengers.
The wrecked train was the Calves
ton, Harrisburg & San Antonio west
bound passenger No. 9, and consisted
of an engine, mail car, baggage car, one
coach. one chair car. three tourist
sleepers, one Pullman sleeper and one
private car. The mail ear, the baggage
car and the coaches We're piled togeth-
err against the engine and We're ablaze
III few seconds. 1t was impossible to
move any of the coaches or the tourist
ears, as they We're all off the rails and
they We're consumed by the flames. So
soon as it was possible to get in COM
munication with the division headquar-
tiers, relief trains with surgeons and
physicians started from Eel Paso, Del
Rio and Sanderson, piclSin. 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 care
full attention. w. G. Van Vleick, gen.
eral manager of the Galveston, Harris
burg & San Antonio railroad, was at
San Antonio and left at once on a spe-
cial train for the scene of the wreck.
