EXPLOSION IN A TUNNEL.
Peint $500 Feet Under Lake
A. = -fTlr- Michigan.

Chicago, March 3o-Two men were killed
ard four seriously injured by an explosion
in the Northwest water tunnel at the foot
of Ark street to-day The dead are: Owen
O'MaIley and Peter Gallagher. The injured
are: Thomas Gallagher, Dennis Hayes.
Patrick Conway and George Blank.
The explosion took place at a point $500
feet under the lake. where excavation was
in progress for a water supply inlet. An
! unusually heavy blast had been prepared
by the men and the work had been safely
accomplished. The fuse had been lighted
and the warning given the men to get a
safe distance. O'Malley and Gallagher
stayed behind for an instant and were
within but a few feet when the explosion
occurred. They received the full force of
the blast and were literally blown to pieces.
Hayes, Conway and Thomas Gallagher had
run considerable distance when the ex-
plosion occurred and ordinarily would have
been out of reach of the force of the blast.
This time, however, the flying rocks and
debris seemed to have more than ordinary
force and. beside being burned by the ex-
plosion, they were crushed and bruised by
heavy stones and masses of clay.
