4 TERRIBLE CATASTROPIaE

" TIE HUDSON RIVER Tunnel AT JERSEY CITY
-TwENTY-Two MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES.
New YORK, July 2l.-Twenty men
lost their lives in the Hudson river tunnel at
Jersey City this morning, while eight had
almost miraculous escapes. The night gang
of thirty men, including Assistant Superin-
tendent Woodward and two tiremen, entered
the shaft at midnight, the hours of work
for this gang being from twelve 10
eight. The depth of the shaft is
6j feet. While most of the men were en-
ployed at the bottom of the shaft, about one
third of the gang was engaged on the brick
wall Of an arch, twenty-five feet higher
1t was the latter squad, who were brick
layers, that escaped, except two. The main
arch of the tunnel runs out from the shaft
80 feet, where it opens into two distinct
arches that are TO form the tunnel Through
some negligence of the men 1t is supposed
the air lock was not properly adjusted when
the process of shifting commenced, and the
brick wall connecting the two arches gave
way and water rushed into the cave.
JERSEY CRY, July 21.-The officers at the
tunnel. this morning, all agreed that the
cause of the accident was neglect on the part
Vi NOlhllltu- l.CdhS DGIOTc
and if taken in time could be stopped. If
the men had been on hand to stop the leak,
the frightful calamity might have been
averted. The men were waiting to 60
out 20 lunch and were not at the moment
on the alert. Thus the leak got so great
start of them. About 20 men will be
kept at work constantly sinking the shaft
down 10 the air tank and chamber who re
the victims were imprisoned. 1t is 60 feet
from the surface to the floor Of the chamber
and the chamber varied from 90 to 30 feet in
height, leaving about 80 feet of earth, iron
plates, etc, on top of the drowned men.
\ cnffer,am will be sunk TO the mouth Of
the tunnel, the water drawn off and the
Inen taken out. Work will be continued
night and day, and two electric lights
will provide the illumination in the
night. 1t will take at least three days
10 get the bodies out. An Anders on
pump arrived this afternoon, having i
capacity of 12,0O0 gallons a minute and
will be used in the work Of extracting the
men. Engineers say it is impossible for any
of the imprisoned workmen to be alive, as
the water within. the whole length of the
tunnel, is up TO the roof and even above it.
1t is impossible 10 force any air into the tun-
mel, as all which has been forced in 50 far
has escaped through the shaft IN which it has
made the water leap up two or three feet
above the surface. Ii is feared this afternoon
that only seven mCu Instead of eight lave
been saved.
