The explosion was felt throughout tho city and people rushed to the scene In every form of conveyance. An Immense crowd had soon gathered and swarmed over the premises. With tha arrival of tho city's entire police force mid soldiers from Fort Sam Houston tho on- ioonci-3 were driven back to proper bounds and the work of searching for the dead and Injured was systematically i Aside from wracking the machine shop and everything in the Immediate vicinity, the explosion damaged houses In the neighborhood.

Windows wore shattered and debris sent crashing through roofs In some Instances. One house to the of the ahcps had s. ssp Its roof about five feet In Boiler Hurled Away. The boiler of-the locomotive which exploded was hurled over a block away and landed between two houses on Duval stroot. It Is estimated that the huge metal shoot weighs easily half a ton.

If it had struck on either of the houses they would have been completely wrecked. The boiler plowed deenfy into the eroimd. Large pieces of Iron and chunks of debris were hurled a distance of several blocks In every direction. A woman at Mason and Austin streets rr.nng out the dead and injured firemen were fighting to keep flames from adding a greater 1 to the list of the dead. No such has ever been witnessed in in Antonio.

There were about ten men at work in the copper shop and only about three of them are thought to have escaped death. Foreman J. A. Williamson crawled out from beneath a mass of wreckage about half an hour after the explosion. Hs had been knocked unconscious and was coated with dirt beyond recognition.

He attributed nis escape to Hie fact that he was knocked beneath a bench, which afforded protection. One of his fingers was broken and ho sustained bruises about the head. M. B. Norwood and a man named Turner, also employes of the copper shop, escaped with injuries.

These evidences of the calamity were wrapped carefully in sheets, ouilts, blankets--anything that was available--and taken to the various morgues of the city.

The remains of two bodies were found four blocks west of the roundhouse, mangled beyond the possibility of recognition, Willam Howard, the fireman who was to have gone out on the engine, barely escaped death because he was late In reaching the shops.
