ris of New York, in which he prays for a
decree ordering the re-transfer of s25 shares

ciates. took over certificates of S25 shares of
stock in the Latonia Agricultural and Stock
Association and that these shares were SUBJ

consulting his associates in trust and with
out warrant OF authority and that no ac-
counting of receipts expenditures had
ever been made by Applegate to the plain

STILL RETAINS CONSCIOUSNESS

NEW YORK, January 16.-So far as could
be learned there was no noticeable change
in the condition of Marshall Field, the mil
lionaire merchant of Chicago, who is critt-
cally i'll with pneumonia at the Holland
House, at o'clock this morning. At that
hour it was said that the physicians had
nothing to add to the assurance given
shortly after midnight that the patient had
exhibited unexpected and renewed strength.
Members of the family and intimate friends
who had assembled to await the end re-
tired, convinced that death was yet mat
ter of several hours.
This morning while they are hoping
against hope, the impression remains that
Mr.. Field cannot survive his present illness.
At o'clock Mr.. Fields physicians issued
the following bulletin:
Condition Worse Than Last Night.
'Mr. Fields condition is worse than it
was last evening. There appears to be a
spreading of the disease. While his case is
critical. it is not hopeless"
The physicians bulletin later was supple
mented by Augustus N. Eddy, Mrs Field s
brother-in-law, when he came from the sick
room.
''Mr Field is worse than he was yester-
day." he said, but Is still conscious. While
he retains consciousness we have hope, as
in possession of his faculties he is making
a. determined fight against the disease. II
he should lose consciousness we should also

Later in the morning it was reported that
both Mr.. Fields lungs have been affected
by the spread Of the pneumonia. Up to this
morning the disease had been confined -

strength well at IL o'clock, despite the

FOURKILLEDIN TUNNEL
IABORERS LOST THEIR LIVES BE-
LOW EAST RIVER LEVEL.

NEW YORK, January l6.-Two negro
tunnel workers were killed by suffocatfon
and caisson disease. two were drowned,
two others were seriously overcome and
the white foreman and assistant suffered
severely in rescuing those who survived,
when n compressed air pipe burst in the
East river tunnel on Man-o'-War reef, op-
posite 42d street, early today.
The bodies of the two drowned men still
lie at the bottom of the shaft twenty Ieel
below the river level. These men were
overwhelmed by the water that entered the
shaft when the pressure was renewed. The
other two dead men were hoisted 10 the
surface by the foreman and his assistant,
who also rescued the two whose lives were
saved. The foreman and his assistant left
the bottom of the shaft and were hoisted
to the river level with the bodies just in
time to escape drowning and death by the
bends" as the dreaded caisson disease is
called.
The Man-oWar Reef is a mass of rocks
which lies just below the surface Of the
river at low water. When it was fixed upon
as the place for a shaft a crib was built,
which was made alright and by dumping
rocks from the other shafts upon 1t the
contractors have made a little island for
the work there. From this the shaft
through which the compressed air was
driven to the workers below was sunk
Six at Work in Shaft.
The six tunnel workers were at the bot
tom of the shaft today when Harold r.
Shalers, the foreman, who was at the sur
face, discovered that something was wrong
IN the tunnel below. He entered a bucket
and was lowered down the shaft into the
lower compartment. 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 air pipe. by which
the pressure of air was maintained, and
which was supposed to haYe been tested to
pressure of 200 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 the debris
and rising over them.
Shallers placed two of the negroes in the
bucket and gave the signal for hoisting to
the surface. When the bucket was again
lowered into the shaft the foreman's as
sistant, Carl VeTbecke, came with 1t. They
placed two more men in the bucket and
then Shallers fell to the ground uncon-
! scious. His assistant was barely able to
place him in the bucket, crawl in also and
give the hotsting signal.
The two others were left in the campartr
.ment. 1t is believed they were Hlready
dead, as were the two who wefee940 4shs
to the surface in the final trip Shallers re-
covered consciousness at the top of the
shaft He was later put under arrest by
tody of the superintendent of the work and
remained on the reef.
The shaft must be pumped out and air
pressure restored before the bodies can be
reached.
