D ACCIDENT OCCURS,
Five More Men at Cleveland. Obi.

Cleveland, Aug. 23.-As a result q, ..

Crib No. 3, Ave miles from SHORE an,
two miles beyond Crib No. 2, where nearI.
a dozen lives were lost week ago. was
the scene 81 the latest accident. Tho
heavy casing Of the shaft was shattered hv
the terrific force Of the explosion, and an
immense volume of water from the laLa
rushed in upon the unfortunate workmer
at the bottom. Two men who were ~
work on staging at the top of the shaft
were blown high into the air, but aliyhted
on the crib, and beyond being stunned
were not seriously injured.
The accident occurred in the niph, Inn.
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 q tug reached them. # is
supposed that the men digging struck A
vein of gas, which was ignited by a spark
made by a workman's pick.
Heavy iron girders and machinery
weighing more than hundred tons were
forced out of the shaft by the explosion.
The crib was wrecked. Death must have
been instantaneous to the workmen 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 he
repaired and the bodies of the unfortunate
workmen recovered.
James Williams, who lost his life in this
accident, was one Of the men who heroic.
ally entered the tunnel after the accident
Of last week in Crib No. 2 in search Of
victims of that disaster. Plummer Jones.
who at that time descended into the shaft
with Williams, was overcome with gas and
died in the tunnel.
Mayor johnson visited the scene of the
accident, and Immediately upon his return
| ordered all construction work on the tun.
mel 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 contractors, and.
1t possible, this would be done.
