THREE WORKMEN
BLOWN To ATOMS
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OCCURS
IN NEW YORK
Charge of Dynamite Is Accidentally
Detonated in Fashionable Part
of City-Seven Laborers
Receive Injuries
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Three men
were blown to pieces, seven others were
more or less seriously hurt and the oc-
cupants of fashionable hotels and resi-
dences in the vicinity of Fifth avenue
and Thirty-fourth street were startled
today by an explosion Of dynamite in
an excavation for the new Altman
building Fragments of the bodies OF
the dead men were distributed over an
area of hundreds of feet and it was
hours before the exact number of VIC
tins of the accident could be deter
mined. The explosion was caused by a
workman accidentally striking a heavy
charge of dynamite which had been
placed in a drill hole in a ledge of
rocks several days ago and which de-
fled all efforts to explode it at that
time.
Today the workmen started to redrill
the hole with no thought of the deadly
charge which it concealed. There were
eighty men in the excavation at the
time, but only a few of them were
near to the loaded hole when the steel
drill plunged into the sticks of dyna-
mite. There was a terrific roar, the
air was filled with particles of stone,
fragments of human flesh, pieces of
timber, dirt and smoke.
Scarcely a trace was found in the
excavation of three men who had stood
almost directly over the hole, and when
the smoke cleared away seven others
who had been within range of the
concussion were stretched out on the
ground, their faces and bodies torn and
scared.
The sound of the explosion brought
guests hurrying from the Waldorf-As-
toria, directly across the street from
the scene of the disaster, and from
many similar places in the vicinity.
Portions of the body of an Italian were
found in and about Thirty-fourth
street nearly 250 feet from the point
where the dynamite exploded, and an
other body was found on top of a tool
house more than 100 feet away. Frag-
ments of the third body were found far
from the excavation.
Jacob Metzger, superintendent for
Post & McCord, contractors, and
Frank Anderson, superintendent for
the O'Rourke Construction company
were arrested soon after the accident
on a charge of criminal negligence.
