LATE NEWS ITEMS.
SECOND ACCIDENT OCCURS
Five More Men Mt Cleveland. Ohio,
Met Death.

Cleveland, Aug. 23.-As a result of an
explosion of gas in the new waterworks
tunnel under Lake Erie five more lives
were added to the already long list Of cas-
ualties recorded since work began on the
great artificial waterway.
The dead are: Ray Treadshaw, James
Williams, Daniel Higgins, James Dallin-
court and John Bert.
Crib No. 3. five miles from shore and
two miles beyond Crib No. ,, where nearly
a dozen lives were lost week ago, was
the scene of the latest accident. The
heavy casing of the shaft was shattered by
the terrific force of the explosion, and an
immense volume of water from the lake
rushed in upon the unfortunate workmen
at the bottom. Two men who were at
work on staging at the top of the shaft
were blown high into the air, but alighted
on the crib, and beyond being stunned,
were not seriously injured.
The accident occurred in the night but
nothing was known of it on shore until
morning. For some unexplained reason
no boats are kept at the cribs Thirty
men who were on the crib when the eX-
plosion took place spent the night vainly
signaling for assistance. 1t was long after
daylight before a tug reached them. 1t is
supposed that the men digging struck Il
vein of gas, which was ignited by a spark
made by workman's pick
Heavy iron girders and machinery
weighing more than a hundred tons were
forced out of the shaft by the explosion.
The crib was wrecked Death must have
been instantaneous to the worbmen in the
tunnel, for their comrades above heard no
cutlery. So great was the destruction
wrought by the explosion that it will prob
ably be weeks before the damage can be
repaired and the bodies of the unfortunate
Workmen recovered
James Williams, who lost his life in thi,
ally entered the tunnel after the accident
of last week in Crib No. in search o.
victims of that disaster. Plummer Jones
who at that time descended into the shaft
with Williams, was overcome with gas anC
died in the tunnel.
Mayor johnson visited the scene of thu
accident, and Immediately upon his return
, ordered all construction work on the tun
mel stopped until every safeguard shall b
. provided for the protection of the men,
The mayor said that in his opinion tn
city was now justified in taking the worl
out of the hands of the contractors, and
if possible, this would be done.

BILE numbers. Assistant Secretary
Tighe of the Amalgamated association
was the principal speaker and denounc-
ed former members of the association
in South Chicago "for deserving their
union under the guise of living up to
a contract"
Mr. Tighe contends that the contract
of the steel workers had been rendered
nugatory by the encroachments of the
steel trust, and that it is the duty of
Chicago steel workers to join their fell
law unionists in the east, where, he
said, the very existence of the Amalga-
mated association is at stake.

First Wife of brigham Young.

Helena, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Tina Young,
first wife of the late Mormon apostle,
Brigham Young. passed through Helena
recently en- route to Salt Lake City. Mrs.
Young is in a dying condition from a
stroke of paralysis, and it is doubtful ii
she will be able to reach Salt Lake City
alive. She was stricken at the home of
her daughter, near the Canadian border,
and her last request before losing con
seriousness was that she be taken to her
old home to die. She is nearly 50 years
of age, and for more than 30 years has
been prominent in the Mormon church
until recently being head of the Mormon
relief committee.
