Tunnel Thursday evening. They were
engaged in printing cartridges. and no

It is supposed hat M Of the men was
trying to clean q giant cap Of sawduSt,
aud this caused the explosion. The
men had been employed in the tunnel
only about two weeks. Their bodies
nre shockingly mnngl.d. This is the
first serious or fatal accident that has
occurred in the tunnel since work was
commenced on the sub drain. aud. m
siderinS the number of men employed,
that blasting is going on constantly and
that many Of the men ARE almost wholly

HriEhtfal Death.

The Virginia Chronicle Of Nay 9Th.
furnishes the following account Of the
fSiehtfpl death Of John Clishsn, Who
vAs run over by IN ore train In that
city Sunday afternoon:
Persons Who saw the accident say
that Just before Il occurred Clishen was
drinking in the saloon on the corner Of
Union and E streets. A train made mp Of
ore and fiat cars from the Con Virginia
side track was going into the tunnel
preparatory to backing mp again to get
the passenger coach for Carson. At
that moment Clishen stepped from the
saloon and was hailed by q friend On
one Of the ore cars. He ran down to
the train and attempted TO get on one
OF the ore Ears by putting a hand on
each one of the projecting corners of
two cars, SO that by swinging between
he could land his feet on the brake
beams. He caught the corners with his
hands all right, and rode in that way
for q few seconds. His feet. however.
missed the brake beams, and his hands
slipping he fell under the wheels, his
head lying between the rails and his
feet outside. Two loaded ore cars carry
ing about ten toni each passed over
him. almost cutting his body in two in
the middle. His right arm was com.
pletely severed below the elbow. He
fell across a double track, thnt is, where
guard rail runs for q short distance
A'onside the main track. The edge OF
the wheel running between these two
rails acts almost like a cutting machine.
Tho wheels passed over the mans loins
and the body was only held together by
few mangled muscles.
After tho ore cars passed over the
body, two empty fat cars, resching it.
were thrown from the track against the
walls Of the cut at the mouth OF the
tunnel, receiving such damages that they
had to be taken from the train and laid
up for repairs.
At the time OF the accident the engi.
neer was in the tunnel and oolld moi
Zee the signals to stop made b. those
who witnessed the accident. The
brakemen, however, instantly brought
the train to q stand still.
The body was removed to Conboio's
undertaking establishment on south c
street and will be buried at 3 o'clock to,
morrow afternoon.
