THREE LAB0RERS KILLED
BURIED UNDER TONS OF Earth IN
A CAYE-IN IN MERIDEN.

The Foreman of the Gang is Alleged to be
to Observation-Disclosures Was the Cause
As Soon as the Accident Was Known
Hundreds Were at the Scene and Nearly
Caused n Second Accident.
Merlden, Sept. 24-Three foreigners
employed as laborers by the city were
buried in a sewer trench on Camp
street in this city this afternoon, The
men were Andrew Pruzkyskaw and
Jacob Wuylyllaw, Polanders, and Mar
ito BondanZo, an italian. All were
young men and had been employed by
Alfred Birdsey, foreman of one of the
sections. The accident was said to be
due to the negligence of the foreman
in not having the sides Of the trench
properly planked, About 4:30 when
twenty men We're at work in the trench
twenty feet deep the sides of the trench
caved in for a distance of about twelve
feet. The three unfortunate men who
were at work on the section which fell
in were buried under tons of earth.
Those worllingmen at hand had narrow
escapes, but succeeded in getting out of
the pit without injury. Not a cry was
heard from those buried under the
earth. 1t was soon discovered who the
victims of the cave-in were and the
gang of laborers were Immediately set
to work to get at the unfortunate vic
TINS. The trench was dug out in thir-
ty minutes and the three dead men
We're reached. They were carried out
and taken to their homes. Their faces
We're almost black, showing that they
had been suffocated. 1t was thought
that there was a fourth man buried
in the trench, but the missing laborer
was found at his home, he not having
returned to work in the afternoon.
Coroner Mix of New Haven was notified
this evening and will come to this city
tomorrow and make an investiga-
ton
Those who witnessed the accident
and were acquainted with the way the
work as carried on seem to fix the re-
opollolplllly VI lHC dGGldtut upon ulle
foreman, Birdsey. When the city re-
Gently decided to build its own sewers
instead of letting contracts, the work
was placed in the hands of Superin-
tendent George Williams of the depart
ment of sewers. The latter employed
foremen on each section. The foremen
have been severely criticized for not
having the trench planked as it should
have been when the trench had been
dug to such a depth as it was The
earth which the laborers were remov-
ing was thrown up on the right side
of the trench, where it is said the pave
ment was not level and had been grad
ually sinking.
The news of the accident spread
through the town like wildfire and
brought hundreds Of people to the
scene. The crowd pressed in towards
the section where the laborers were
buried and nearly caused a second
cave-in. Two of the men, Pruzkyskaw
and Whylykaw, were married. Their
antilles are in the old country. The lat
er leaves four children besides widow.

here to proclaim to the world that
the Irish race is neither dead nor dis
heartened. We are not of a breed that
runs out There are more Of us now
than ever before, We are wall of fire
that can never be extlnguished. We
will never give up the struggle. We
ar here to consolidate all forces for
an aggressive move against England
whenever we can strike her under the
law of nations. She is surrounded by
enemies. France, Germany, Russia, all
hate her. For twenty-five years the
foreign policy of America had not been
what it should be and if the govern
ment had been as patriotic as is the
American nation The day that the Brit
ish marines landed in Corinto would
have heard the broadside of the Amer
ican fleet"
From to-day" continued the speak
er, "let us inaugurate the new move
ment. Let us work for the establish
ment of an Irish republic free and in
dependent"

evoked loud applause. Several addi-
tional greetings from Boston, Phila-
delphia, Albany, New York, Augusta,
Ga, San Francisco, Holyoke, Mass. and
other cities We're read by Secretary
Sutton. Some pledged funds without
limit for an earnest effort to free Ire

independence and to accept nothing
less Others voiced the sentiment "com-
plete separation no matter by what
means accomplished" A long dispatch
from the Emmet Guard of Philadel-
phia. ended: 1.-The new movement must
end in the complete autonomy of Ire
