DEATH IN A TUNNEL.

Gas Explosion Below the Bed of

CLEVELAND, o., July l2.-The lives
of ten men were snuffed out in the
twinkling of an eye yesterday evening
in the big water works tunnel that is
being constructed under the bottom
of Lake Erie, as result of an explo-
sion of gas The tunnel is an immense
affair, being projected to extend out
ward from the shore for a distance of
~ miles, and it has been under con-
struction for more than year. The
work has been attended with great
difficulty. About six weeks ago there
was an explosion of gas in the shore
end of the big hole which killed eight
men and injured number of Others.
The contractors asked for permission
to defect the course of the tunnel
from the route fixed by the city engi-
neers, but it was refused. Work was
finally resumed and had progressed
uneventfully until this latest and most
horrible accident came. Nobody will
ever be able to tell what the cause
was, or how it happened, for every
witness is dead and the bodies of all
are lying where they fell, 900 feet
