Granville, n. Y. Oct. 6.-Ten men
met instant death at the quarry at the
Vermont Slate Company today, when
about 100 feet of the west bank
crushed down without warning, bury
ing the victims under hundreds of
tons of slate and loose earth. Five
bodies were recovered but it is doubt
full whether the others can be reached
before next week. The dead, with the
exception of John G.. Williams, presi-
dent and treasurer of the company,
are all Hungarans.
Frazier Queen had his leg crushed,
shoulder broken and was cut about the
head.
The slide occurred at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning while the gang was at
work in the quarry, directed by Mr..
Williams and the men were caught
like rats in a trap. Mr.. Williams was
standing near the edge of the bank
while the others were below in the pit.
He had just raised his arm to signal

ing engine when the bank gave way,

FREE DELIVERY EXTENSION
POSTMASTER Bailey and Special Agent
Confer Over Extension of Sys-
tenn to Suburbs.

postmaster Bailey has been engag-
ed for several days with a Specia
Agent of the PoSt-office Department
III gong over the free delivery stu
alton with respect to the city and
it's suburbs. AS result it is hop Il
that IN the near future there will be
ADDED to the force two or more car
riers of mail who will give the adj
vantages of free delivery to nearlylna
sections of the city which have here
tofore been without the advantages
enjoyed by those living within the
city limits proper and near thereto
in this class are included the quite
populus suburbs of Pilot Mills
Brooklyn Gncluding the Methodist
popuious suburbs of Pilot Mills
settlement.
Under the rural free delivery sys-
tenn, the injustice of leaving These
suburbs out of the plan is at once ap-
parent. For a distance of twelve
miles around Raleigh every person on
the free delivery routes receives mail
DIT least once day The nearer sub
urbs of the city, however, not being
on the main roads to the county get
no delivery whatever. This condition
Mr.. Bailey is seeking to remedy and
he has called the attention of the
Department to the inconsistency of
the service afforded.
The special agent has been here
for several days, has thoroughly IA
miliarized himself with the situation
and on his report the extra carriers
necessary to improve the service will
doubtless be appointed at an early
date.
IT the new force is put on, the mali
will be delivered by them from
mounts, as the distances are too great
to be covered by pedestrian carriers.
The Justice of the innovation is APP
parent and the department. will no
doubt act promptly. AS 1t is now.
Shortwell, for instance, gets mail
from Raleigh once a day. while Cara
leigh Mills folk, much nearer to the
central post office. must walk into the
city after mail.
The new service, when inaugurated
will be a part of the Raleigh office
and under the control of the local
postmaster, being in no sense a "ru-
raj delivery" although, as stated. the
carriers will be mounted.
The improvement will be CRATE
full and long-needed one to the COM
munity.

Troy, n. Y, Oct 6.-Fourteen men
were killed today at a cave-in at a
quarry about 1-2 miles from Gran
Vile. y. Y. Among the deed is f. V.
Williams, president of the company.
The others We're hungarian laborers.
Sixteen men were buried in the cave
in. David Cadwallader and Frazen
Queen, the foreman of the quarry,
were rescued. Immediately after the
first collapse a second one took place
which damaged the machinery of the
quarry. Frazer Queen the. foreman,
who was rescued, was taken to the
Albany hospital this afternoon where
one of his legs was amputated. When
he was found he was trying to dig his
way out. His condition is said TO be
serious.
The cave-in was such as occurred
frequently in the quarries which
abound i'll southern Vermont but
usually they happen in the night or
give sufficient warning for all to es-
cape. This one caught a gang of men
unawares and they were almost in
stantly buried before they could es-
cape. The material which fell was
mostly what is known as waste and
several hundred tons comprised the
great slide which buried the men. Mr.
Williams, president of the company,
was on the pile when it fell and was
not buried deep nor was his body
badly disfgured. but he was crushed
internally.
The rest of those buried were Hun
garian laborers. 1t is thought none
Of them can be alive. A large force
of men from the vicinity and from
neighboring quarries was quickly on
the scene and began digging for the
bodies.
