who is hurt internally.
The ill-fated train left San Antonio
at noon Thursday. and at the time Of
the accident was running at high
rate of speed in order to make up time.
The road at the point where the wreck
occurred is in q 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. All the
passengers were asleep, and the shock
that followed was the first intimation
they had of the danger. The train was
going at such a rate of speed that the
tender and engine landed rs feet from
where they left the rails. The cars
behind piled up against the engine.
causing a fire, and all were consumed
except tho sleepers.
A private car owned by Thomas
Ryan, OF New York city, whose family
was aboard. was attached to the rear
of the train, but it was pulled away
before the fire reached it, and no one
in it was injured. All the killed in
the coaches just behind the express
and baggage cars were cremated. The
people in the sleepers were saved with
the assistance Of the uninjured passen-
gers.
As soon as 1t was possible to get
in communication with the division
headquarters, relief trains with sur
geons and physicians were started
from Ell Paso, Del Rio and Sanderson,
picking up along the line all the sur
geons that could be found. All the in
jured who were in a condition to be
moved were sent to Ell Paso, where
they are receiving careful attention.
