Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 2l.-As the re-

Crib No 3. five miles fr m shore
and two miles beyond crib M. 2, where
nearly a dozen lives were b., a week
ago, was the scene OF the latest acci-
dent. The work OF sinking the big In
take shaft at that point was completed
yesterday and Ave workmen were en-
gagged In digging tunnel IN the diree-
ton OF No. crib when the fatal ex-
plosicn occurred.
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 thu bottom.
Two men who We're AT work on staging
at the top Of the shaft were blown high
into the air. but allghiad ON the crib
and beyond being stunned were not ser
iously injured.
The accident occurred early last
night but nothing was known of It on
shore until today. For some unex-
planned reason no beats are kept at the
cribs. Thirty men who were on the crib
when the explosion took place spent
the night Yainly signalling for assist
ance. Ii was long after daylight be-
for tug reached them II is supposed
that the men digging struck a vein Of
gas which was ignited by 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 ex-
plosion The crib was wrecked Death

workmen In the tunnel, for their COM
rades above heard no cutlery.
SO great was the destruction wrought
by the explosion that Il VIII probably
be weeks before the damage can be re-
paired and the bodies u fSc unfortunate
workmen recovered.

tunnel sos
Mayor johnson visited the scene of
the accident early today and imme-
diately upon his return ordered all
construction work on the tunnel
stopped until every safeguard shall be
provided for the protection OF the men.
The mayor said that in his opinion
the city was now justified in taking the
work out OF the hands Of the contract

HE ATE CROW.
In This Case the Bird Was Actually
Served

Following close upon the official count
of electoral votes for president Of the
United States WAS the paying Of an cleo
ton bet at the National hotel last even
ing. The parties TO the wager were. w
s. Bolton Of Paxico and c. A Moore,
representative Of the Tayior-Parrott Hat
company of Chicago.
The terms Of the bet made last fall
before election were that if Mckinley
were elected, Moore should eat crow ana
Bolton should feast on turkey. If the
election resulted favorably to Bryan.
Bolton should eat the crow and Moore
the turkey. Last evening the two men
met and went to the dining room of tee
National. Bolton had already sent up to
the cook a crow which he had brought
from home and instructed that it be
fried Moore evidently had forgotten
the terms of the wager, and believed
that turkey was to be the principal part
of the feast. The convivialties had not
proceeded very far, however until he
discovered the mistake One bite of TIE
crow was sufficient and after that Boil
ton gratuitously allowed his friend to
finish with turkey.
Both men appeared to be satisfied
with the way in which the bet was paid.
