ten DIE IN DEADLY BLAST.
Lives Crushed Out by Falling Rock
" in New York Subway.
Horror Worst Which Has Occurred in
n Construction of Tunnel-Crim-
= inal Negligence Suspected.

New York, Oct. 27.-Ten lives were
lost by the cavein of the roof and walls
of the subway tunnel at One Hundred
and Ninetyfifth street Saturday night
and four persons were badly injured.
All of the dead and injured were work.
men and most of them Italians. The
accident was the most disastrous that
has occurred in the construction of the
subway. At the point where the cave
in occurred gang of 20 men were at
work in the tunnel, which is about 10
feet below the surface. Rufus c.. Hunt.
general superintendent of the tunnel
work, said that two converging seams
had appeared in the roof of the tunnel
during the day work on Saturday. The
presence of these seams, however, was
not believed to indicate any more dan
gerous character of the rock than had
previously been encountered, although
it was thought necessary to prop the
roof with number of upright timber
braces.
The tunnel was being bored by open
ing a perpendicular embrasure in the
face of the bore, and blasting the sides
to the right and left of this embrasure
Three blasts were arranged by the
drillers, the holes being charged well
toward the roof. The drillers then
