FATAL AccIDEsr-Two MzS KILLnD-As
OTHER SERIOUSLY Enthusiastically morn.
ing about IL o'clock an accident occurred near
the corner OF Sixteenth and N streets, whereby
two men lost their lives and another was seri.
ously injured. Several men were engaged In
excavating for the purpose Of procuring gravel,
and had dug deeply and we'll In on the sides,
leaving huge point jutting out This point
suddenly gave way, and covered three mon who
were working under it-one white man and two
colored-by the names Of Hugh Adams, Jacob
johnson, and James Taylor. Information was
at once sent TO the Fourth precinct station, aud
Sergeant Bull, with officers fi6eld and Calhoun,
promptly repaired to the spot. By the time the
officers had arrived, the mon had been dug out,
ohicer Dunn, Of tho Fourth precinct, with The
assistance Of those around, having succeeded In
short time In drawing tho men from under tho
earth. Hugh Adams, the white man, was dead
His neck was dislocated, skull cracked, jaw bone
broken, and other injuries were on his person.
Jacob johnson and James Taylor we're both
living. but johnson was In q morbund state.
His log was broken, hips crushed, and groin on
right and left sides split open. Taylor's inju.
rios were mostly about the hips, but apparently
there were no bones broken. Doctor Russell
was on the spot In few moments and at once
gave the benefit Of his skill to the wounded men
Doctor Lovejoy also assisted, but their efforts In
behalf Of johnson were unsvailing the unfor-
tunats man dying at $50 p. m, some three
hours after the accident Taylor was taken to
the Freedmon's hospital, and It Is hoped that
his injuries will not prove fatal.
Tho coroner was notified, but being sick,
could not attend and It not being especially
necessary to hold an inquest, the bodies were
removed. The body Of Adams was takcn to his
residence, on Twenty. 0fth street, between and
X, and given in charge Of his friends. John.
sons body was also taken to his residence, on
Twenty third street, between L and NJ. Both
Of the men were unmarried
The accident, II Is said, was the result Of sheer
carelessness, and one that could have been
avoided.
