originally projected in 1879, and failure
overlook it in its very incipiency. In 1888
it was revived under a new charter, and
ground was broken in October, 1882 Two
caisson accidents took place during the
building Of the piers. The first was caused
by the cupidity of a subcontractor who en-
gagged himself as an expert when he was
without experience The contractors were
deceived by representations which he made.
He allowed the air 60 escape from the cais-
son, aud the water rushed in, drowning IA
men.
The second caisson accident resulted
from the foolhardiness of the foreman in
the management of the structure and
caused the death OF seven men, Yesterday
was the third big accident in the chain.
Several minor ones occurred between
times. The enterprise was overtaken by a
very serious financial disaster early in its
career as a result Of the Barring failure in
1890, which, by reason Of its depressing ef-
feet in money centers, prevented the float
