seriously injured. Ten men were at
work on the inside of the waterworks

moments warming, one side of the seat
folding gave way, preclpitating five of
the men to the stone bottom. The killed
are: Charles Myers, of this city, who
leaves a widow and large family: Harry
SilIs, of Chicago; Al Albus and Jack
Ainsworth, whose homes are in the

unmarried men. Myers commenced
work but yesterday. The injured man
is John Smith, also a stranger here.
The foreman escaped with his life, be-
ing in at the bottom of the pipe when
he heard the crash above, and sprang
through the manhole, not a moment too
soon. The other five men above also
had narrow escape. An inquest is be-
ing beld over the remains.
