HUNGARIAN employees OF CON-

LIST OF DEAD.

Troy, N. r, Oct. 7-Fourteen men
were killed during the day by cavein
At the, Vermont Slate companys quarry
about two and a half miles from Gran
vile, N, Y. Among the dead is J. B.
Williams, president of the company.
The others were Hungarian laborers.
Sixteen men were buried in the
cavein. David Cadwallader and Frazer
Queen, the foremen of the quarry,
were rescued. The latter is expected
to die. ..
The cavein was such as occurs IRE.
quently in the quarries which abound
in Southern Vermont, but usually they
happen in the might or give sufficient
warning for all to escape. This one
caught a gang of men unawares and
they were almost instantly buried be.
fore they could escape. The material
which fell was mostly what is known
as waste and several hundred tons
comprised the great slide which bur.
led the men. Mr.. Williams, presiden,
of the company, was ON the pile when
1t fell and was not buried deep, no,
was his body badly dishgured, but he
was crushed internally.
Foreman Cadwallader was taker
out practically unhu1t, but Foreman
Frazer Queen was probably fatally
hurt. The rest of those buried were
Hungarian laborers. 1T is thougha
none of them can be alive. A large
force of men from the vicinity an1
from neighboring quarries was quickl,
on the scene and began digging for
the bodies.
