TERRIBLE DISASTER
ELEVEN MEN BURIED ALIVE NJ
ATUNNTt
EXPLOSION CAUSED A CAvE-IM
The Cause Will Never Be Known -
Every Witness Il Dead-Ths
Second Disaster rs 4.se.

CLEVELAND, O., July 1.-THE lives Of
eleven men were snuffed out In the twinkling
of an eye this evening in the big water
works tunnel that is being constructed uns
der the bottom of Lake Erie, as result OF
an explosion of gas.
Following are the names Of those who
were killed:
JOHN PARKS, foreman.
JAMES PARKS, brother Of John. !, ~
JOHN FRADEY. y;
TONY BRUNETTE :.
FRANK LAMBA. y
EMERSON SMITH. M ,a
JOHN MCAULEY.
WILLIAM TUCKER, coloted
GUS WATTS. .......
FRANK CLEMENTS. .v'
FRANK HANEY.
The tunnel is an immense affair, being
projected to extend outward from the shore
a distance of four and half miles. and 1t
has been under construction for more than
a year.
A Long Death Roll
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
a number of others.
The explosion tonight occurred few min
utes before o'clock, but nobody will ever
be able to tell what the cause was or how 1t
happened for every witness is dead and the
bodies of all are lying where they fell, 6000
feet out under the lake.
The only man in the tunnel who escaped
death g Con O'Dennell, lock tender. who
was stationed $500 feet from the shore. He
hen rd the exDloston or series of explosions.
He says there were ten of the shocks and
the conclusion was something terrible. for
it threw him of his feet and for hours he
was in such dazed condition that he could
scarcely remember what had happened. He
finally CROPPED his way out and told what
had occurred.
Two men, Patrick Vonseer and Martin Nc
Cauley, were the first to venture In the tun-
mel after the accident occurred. They made
leir way to lock 500 feet from the shore
and were there overcome by the gas and fell
to the floor. When they failed to return a
young man named James Clements son Of
one of the men who was killed and who was
employed as mule driver, went to their
rescue He found them unconscious, lying
over a mule cart, and succeeded In helping
them to the well at the shore end Of the
tunnel. The would-be rescuers said that
all the lights were out beyond the 5000 foot
lock and that they could not go any fur
Their.
A second rescuing party was made up Of
Patrick Gaytons, Mike McCauley, Dan Rog-
ers, Barney Hughes and Ed Corbett. 1t
failed utterly In accomplishing anything, as
the tunnel was filled with foul gas and
smoke.

hair of the Monroe doctrine; so it can
in the Baliaric Isles.
We quite sympathise, however, with
the anxiety of our Chicago contemporary
to slide over the Monroe doctrine and
hold fast to the Philippines. They are
prize which the United States has earn
ed in fair war, and by a most brilliant
achievement of its navy; and Monroe
doctrine or no Monroe doctrine, Euro
pean powers or no European powers, we
hope that once it takes possession it will
refuse to yield them up. Something is
required to render more perfect, more
desirable balance of things in that quar-:
ter of the globe, and American interest
in the Philippines would do it.

solemnity of sorrow and yet with pat

its soldiers and its children, its men and
women, alike, with reverence, with love,
and with pride, decorate the graves of

ceremony annually consecrate them.
selves to the service of this land which
we all love so we'll. No man, no woman,
no child can participate in the services
and observances Of Memorial Day with
out feeling better, and being better citi-
zens.
This year, with the war cloud hanging
heavy over us. with remembrances of
new victims on the altar of patriotism,
whose graves are yet too new to be
covered with natures verdure, still
stronger sense of our duty will impress
us to ''cover them over with
beautiful flowers" And, as leaving our
daily avocations, we go in procession to
the silent camp grounds of the dead, let
us in our remembrances of the dead not
forget the living; the widows and or.
phans of those who haye gone before;
the wives and children of the brave ones
who are now in camp; the crippled and
aged remnant of the Grand Army of the
Republic and ''our boys" who just now
are learning the hardships, privations
and dangers of actual war.
Memorial Day means gratitude to the
noble dead, charity and love for the liv-
ing, and both of these are foundations Of
loyalty to orir country.
God bless the old Grand Army of the
War of the Rebellion, both living and
dead.
God bless the new Grand Army of the
Spanish War, dead and living.
God bless those who gave and lost and
who are now alone in their sorrow.
God bless those who have given and
now patiently and anxiously await the
home coming of loved ones; may they
not be disappointed.
On Memorial Day let us honor and
pray for all of them. The soldier of the
blue, the soldier of the grey, and their
sons who fight together to-day.

WAITING. a..

The government seems to have most
effectually squelched the bulletin bust
ness except for the rumors and supposi.
tions and guesses and fakes of the war
correspondents. While everybody is
naturally anxious nobody is kicking, ex-
cept some of the ''yellow journals" and
nobody will complain provided that the
Spanish authorities are as much in the
dark as to the whereabouts of the fleets
as we are ourselves.
Still it is hard to sit and wait and wait.
However, thefellows that do the fight
ing are more interested in the war than
we who wait, and ours is much the cas-
