He was riding homeward after the shower,
about o'clock in the morning. and as the road
way was wet and muddy he turned up on the
cinder path on the northerly side of the terrace at
the Snug Harbor station. When opposite the end
of Lafayette-ave he noticed a dark spot In the
sidewalk and moment later his front wheel
struck hole. and instantly the whole sidewalk
sank beneath him. and he found himself at the
bottom Of "A cavity about twenty feet in diameter
and dozen feet in depth.

cries were mufied and ndistinct 1t was supposed
that they came from craft in the Kills or
from the New-Jersey shore. 81,
Carr shouted until his voice gave out and hi, his
