LIFE IS SAVED
BY EXPLOSION.
Workman Shot to Safety from Tunnel
in New York-Three Others
Are Injured.

New York, March 27-Blown through
a break in tunnel in the East river by
an explosion today, carried to the sur
face Of the water and shot twenty feet
into the air, Richard Creedon, laborer,
was rescued only slightly hurt. His es-
cape from death seemed almost miracu-
lous. Three Of his companions were res
cued in the tunnel and carried out, all
painfully, but not seriously, injured.
Escape Death as if by Miracle.
Contractors say that this is the first
instance in which a workman has es-
capped with his life when a submarine
and subterranean tunnel has burst and
been filled by water. There have been
numerous instances in which the men
have lost their lives.
The tunnel in which the men were at
work is to eventually connect the Man
haitian subway lines with Brooklyn sub
way lines. Two tubes side by side are
in process Of construction.
Twenty-Five Men in Death Trap.
The Brooklyn end Of one of the tubes
had been extended about 10 feet beyond
the end Of the pier line at the foot of
Coralmen street. Twenty-Five men were
at work in the tunnel today when the &C.
cident happened. CreedOn and his three
companions were III the forward COM
partment working in the pressure OF air.
In a compartment back Of them the 9TH
er eighteen men were at work. This sec
ton was not affected by the accident, as
there is a bulkhead between them.
CreedOn was the first to ascertain that
the roof Of the tunnel was leaking. With
sand bags he attempted to plug the leak,
but as he did so the whole roof was
blown out and the tremendous force Of
the compressed air drove CreedOn out
through the hole

Kings Gift

Columbus, O., March 27,--Rev. Wash
ington GLADDEN., pastor of the First Con
gregational church Of Columbus, and
moderator of the general council of Con
gregational churches of the United
States, in a sermon yesterday morning
discussed the gift Of 100000 offered by
John D. Rockefeller to the American
board of missions.
The money proffered to our board of
missions comes out of a colossal estate
the foundations of which were laid in
the most relentless repacity known to
modern commercial history" said Dr.
GLADDEN.. The success of this business
from the beginning until now has been
due largely to unlawful and outrageous
manipulations of railway rates.
Must Not Feed, Then Bite Hand.
The United States government now
IS engaged in a strenuous attempt to
ferret out and punish this injustice The
people Of the United States have a ire
mendous battle on their hands with the
corporate greed which has intrenched it
self IN this stronghold, and has learned
to use the railways for the oppression
and spOhatiOn Of the people.
And now, on the eve of this battle
they are asked to accept a great gift Of
money from the man who more COM
pletely than any other represents the
system they are summoned to fight.
nope they are not mean enough to take
his money and then turn around and
tight him. | hope they are not so faith
less to their obligations as to take his
money and shut their mouths or become
his apologists.

Will strengthen our churches in the af-

NUMBER FIVE MEETING
Bonds Fail Through Lack of Atten= dance-Stock Present Voted Ten
 to One for the Proposition

On last Friday, August II, the stock ,holders of Imperial Water Company Mo- met in adjourned session to pass on the question of authorizing the issuance of bonds to the amount of $1O0000, to be used in completing and improving their canal system. Owing to some misunderstanding and a general absence of effort on the part of everyone to get out a full attendance, there was less than two-thirds of the stock voted at the meeting
 The total stock is 35,65O shares of which 23, 1855 were present at the meet ing, 2Sl shares less than two-thirds It required 23,767 shares voting in the affirmative to carry the proposition. Of the 23,485 present and voting Fl 375 were cast in favor of bonds and PHO against Of the 2,165 shares bsent and not voting, it is reasonable to infer that at least one-half would be for the bonds. As 2,400 shares more would have carried the proposition, it is generally felt that the great majority of the stockholders favor the bonds. In view of this fact the Board of Directors passed a resolution unanimously in favor of submitting the question to the people second time.
 This time, however, it will be in the form of an alternative proposition. The Board levied an assessment of fifty cents per share on all the capital stock, notice of which is published elsewhere in this issue, and will submit the question to stockholders, whether or not he will consent to the issuance of bonds, and if the owners ot two-thirds of the stock give their consent, in writing, the assessment will be recalled and the bonds issued.
 It IS not believed but that now, all the misunderstanding and erroneous reports current during the pendeney of the bond issue having been disposed of. the stockholders will consider the matter from purely business stand point and not entangled with any 'other proposition and will authorize the bonds by large mojority. There is a general agreement among all the stockholders that they must needs improve their canal system.
 There is some divergence of opinion, however, as to the question of bonds, tine timeliness of tie issuey their dispo- sition, etc, and as the entire Valley is interested in the outcome, we trust the matter may receive full and complete discussion. To that end the PRESS offers it's columns for try-oat of the subject. Anything that promises or proposes to bring $lO0,00O to the Valley for expenditure in it's improvement and disbursement in it's business chan nels is matter of sufficient importance to merit good word from all who are interested in the development and up- building of our Imperial Valley.
