DEAD IN TUNNEL Air Pipe Burst in East
 River. FOUR WERE KILLED The Foreman and His Assistant Had a Marrow Escape in Trying to Rescue the
 Men.

New York;. Jan. 1.-Two negro tun
 nel workers were killed by suffocation and Caisson disease, two were drown
 ed, two others were seriously over come. and the white foreman and as
 sistant suffered severely in rescuing
 those who survived when compress ed air pipe burst in the East river tun-
 nel on Man O'War reef, opposite For ty-second street early today.
 Two of the bodies. those of the drowned men. still lie at the bottom of the shaft, twenty feet below the river level. They were overwhelmed by the water that entered the shaft when the pressure was removed. The other two dead men were hoisted to the surface by the foreman and his assistant, who also ,rescued the two whose lives were saved. The fore man and his assistant left the bottom of the shaft and were hoisted to rhe river level with the bodies just in time to escape drowning and death by the Bends as the dreaded caisson dis ease is called.
 Man O'War reef is mass of rocks which lies just below the surface of the river at low water. When it was fixed upon as the place for shaft, a crib was built which was made air tight, ana by dumping rocks upon it. the contractors have made little island for the ~vOrk there From this was sunk the shaft through which the compressed air was driven to the workers below.
 The six tunnel workers were at the bottom of the shaft today when liar old R. Shallers. the foreman, who was at the surface, discovered that some thing was wrong in the tunnel below. He entered bucket and was lowered down the shaft into the lower con- partment, passing through an air lock which permits the high pressure of air to be maintained where the men were digging. This pressure is necessary to keep the water of the river from breaking into the shaft.
 In the lower compartment Shallers found that the six inch pipe by which the pressure of air was maintained, and which was supposed to have been tested to a pressure of POO pounds to the square inch had burst and the pressure of air upon the walls of the compartment had ceased. The six negroes lay on the bottom of the shaft with the water oozing through tie debris and rising over them.
 Shallers placed two of the negroes In the bucket and gave the signal for hoisting 1t to the surface. When the bucket was again lowered into the shaft the foreinan's assistant, Carl verbecke. came with it. They placed two more men In the bucket and then Shalers fell to the ground unconscious. His assistant was barely able to place him in the bucket. crawl in also and give the hoisting signal.
 The two others were left in the coin- partment. It is believed they were al ready dead as were the two who were brought to the surface in the final trip.
 Shallers recovered consciousness at the top of the shaft. He was later put under arrest by the coroner but was paroled in the custody of the SUI. of the work and remain- ,d on the reef.
 The shaft must be pumped out and lir pressure restored before the bodies an be reached.
