Ten Men Drowned.

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Ten men employed in the
construction of the new water tunnel fpr the
village of Hyde Park, south of this city, were
drowned in plain view of the village at
o'clock this morning. Thirteen men were
employed upon the work of sinking and con-
structing new crib at point in Lake Michi-
gan, one mile from the shore, and above the
crib had been constructed a platform about
forty feet square, supported BY poles bound
together by heavy chains. Upon the platform
had been built small cabin in which the msn
slept and had their meals, having lived there
for the past three weeks. The platform was
supported by heavy timbers resting on piles.
About o'clock the sea became 80 heavy that
portions of the platform were washed away.
The mea awoke about $50 q. nd. and found the
spray with every wave washing the side Of their
hut. They were not much alarmed and pro-
ceeded to get breakfast, which they succeeded
in eating. The storm continued to increase in
fury and finally great wave struck the cabin
and carried it fairly into the boiling sea, and
witt it every man upon the frsil structure.
Twelve of the men succeeded in climbing upon
the huge stringers and lying face down with
their arms around the beams they awaited the
arrival of assistance. Every moment increased
their danger and the waves with terrible force
tore them one by one from their anchorage until
only eight remained. in th= NJ meantime the crew
of the Chicago life saving station had been ad-
vised of their situation and were dispatohed to
their rescue. They arrived at the scene about
IL o'clock, and when they were within throwing
distance line was made fast by the almost
drowning men to timbers and made tight from
the boat, when the eight surviv prs attempted the
feat of working through the surf to the boat,
but only four succeeded in making the journey.
One of the men washed of succeeded, with the
aid of a plank, in reaching the shore. Among
the drowned are VIM. II. Shetland and K. Cor
bin contractors of the work. The names of the
others drowned are Lewis and Andrew Aims
WORTH Charles Manski, Char es Folk, D. Smith,
Otto Moncofski, VIM. Moncotsci and K, Clauson.
The bodies of the drowned are not yet re-
covered.
