TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF oYNA.
MITE.
Eighteen Workmen Killed on a New
York Railroad.

York Railroad.
At 1880 Tuesday morning a work
train on the Hudson River road was
blown to atoms one mile and half below
Tarryt town by an explosion of dynamite
in transportation for blasting purposes in
track construction. There were probably
thirty-three men, including Italian labor
ers and trainmen, on board. OF these
eighteen were instantly killed and fifteen
terribly torn and wounded.
Many of the dead were blown in the
river, and five bodies still remain there
unrecovered. The train was torn to
atoms, the tracks ripped from the road
bed and n great hole many feet deep dug
out of the earth, totally blocking the traffic
on the railroad for many hours.
The dynamite was all stored on the first
of the four fat cars composing the train.
1t consisted Of twenty-four cases and each
case contained fifty pounds, making a
grand total of ,201 pounds of the terrible
explosive. The force of the explosion was
terrific. The ground trembied as though
from an earthquake, the walls of several
Tarrytown houses were shaken and
cracked, and in Tarrytown streets the
window glass fell in showers to the side
walk. In Tarrytown scores of CLOCKS
stopped, and in this way the exact hour OF
the explosion is fixed.
\ spark from passing engine is be-
lieyed TO have caused the explosion. The
train was utterly demolished Eye wit
nesses say the air was filed with splinrers
and debris, while the bodies of the luck
less train crew were hurled, some OF them
torn limb from limb, in every direction.
A terrible sight presented itself to those
who buried 20 the scene of the awful
accident. The ground as far as could be
seen was covered with debris. Tho track
was torn up for space OF GOO feet, and the
rails were bent into all kinds of shapes

Another Big Bridge.

The big New York and New Jersey
bridge which is TO span the Hudson n,
West Seveuty-hrst street, and which will
connect all suburban towns with New
York, is no longer an enterprise of the
future. The commissioners and directors
are now 10 position to talk definitely
upon the task Of beginning work, and they
expect To begin constructing the ap-
proaches by September. The necessary
capital, sI00,oo0,0O0 has been sub
scribed by syndicate Of capital
lists of New York City and New
Jersey, and the New Jersey commission
will meet next week to effect permanent
organization. When this has been done O
company will be Incorporated under the
laws of both New York and New Jersey.
The work of construction will then be
immediately begun.
MIR. Charles Swavt secretary of the
New York commission, whose ONCE is al,
214 Broadway, says, in speaking of the
bridge in connection with the rapid transit
route, that the system, when finished
would DC the most complete in the world
Besides the increased facilities for travel.
be said, the new bridge and approaches
would open avenues of local commerce
which would completely abolish the over
crowded condition OF the North and East
rivers. The bridge end approaches will
be the means of establishing freight and
coal docks at Port Morris, the west end of
Long Island Sound, where vessels can be
loaded without having TO pass through
Hell Gate and around the city OF New
York to Perth Amboy and Elizabeth port,
New Jersey. AL the railroad cars now
transported on floats by the rivers, can be
run over the tridge."
