IN A MARBLE QUARRY.
Seven Men Crushed to Death by Mass
of Failing Rock.


RUTLAND, VT, February 11.-One Of
the worst disasters in the history OF
marble quarrying occurred at West Rut-
land little after one o'clock this after
noon in quarry operated by the Ver-
mont Marble Company, with which Sen
ator Proctor is connected.
A great mass OF stone fell into the
quarry and seven men were instantly
killed and number OF others injured.
The victims we're crushed so that some
could not be recognized. The victims
were gang at work channeling and
taking away refuse, and were all mid
die aged men. The killed are:
VIM. Lukas, Frank SuIlg, Edward
Powers, Alexander Blumquest and
three unrecognized men. The injured
numbered ten, but IL is not thought
that any have received fatal injuries.
The cause of the cavlng in Of the
quarry is not positively known. The
mass Of stone which covered the men
who were at work near by was as near
as can be estimated sixty feet in length
and twenty feet wide.
Git fell without the last warning, and
all who were at work there were az once
covered.
E. B. Morse. Treasurer OF the Ver-
mont Marble Company, says that the
cause of the accident is not certain,
though the "scale" or part of the roof
that fell was probably loosened by ireez-
ing. There was about so men at work
fntho quarry.
