THRILLING RESCUES
DEEDS OF BRAVERY AT FUNNEL
Many Workers Were Hundreds of Feet Below Ground and Lives were Saved by Heroism of
 Volunteers,

New York, April 3.--Fire caused by a spark from one of the boiler rooms in the excavation for the McAdoo tun- mel terminal at Dey, Fulton and Church Streets early today, did damage esti- mated at $50,000 and a delay of thirty days In the completion of the work on the huge terminal buildings will re- suit. Five men are injured, two of them severely.
 Those severely injured are:
 John oHara and Edward Murphy. tunnel workers.
 The fire started on high wooden structure between Dey and Fulton Streets and used to support hoist ing engine By the time the fire de- partment reached the scene the shower of sparks and embers from the burning boiler house had set fire to dozen other boiler houses and similar struc- lures in the excavation. These to- gether with several big derricks. were badly burned, and the temporary wood- en flooring over the surface of Dey Street covering the excavation, was ruined.
 There were many thrilling rescues and several instances of personal brav- cry during the progress of the fire. Deep down under the ground In the 100 calssons which are being sunk for the foundations for the big terminal build ings to rest on were between 500 and 500 men at work. When it was seen that there was danger of the fire spreading to all of the engine houses south of Dey Street. shutting off the supply of air the pressure of which en- abled the men to work underground. and the withdrawal of which would mean serious danger, If not death. to many of them, the danger signal was given and the buckets lowered Into the caissons to bring the tunnel work CTS to the surface.
 Around some of the derricks used to lower and hoist the buckets, the flames ragged fiercely and in two instances the men in charge of the donkey hoisting engines lost their nerve and deserted their posts, leaving the men eighty feet beneath the surface of the ground to their fate.
 The deserted hoists were quickly re- manned by volunteers, however, and the new men stuck to their posts with the flames roaring around them until the last one of the tunnel workers were brought up to safety.

KNOCK OUT MANY COUNTS.
United States AttVrneys Believe They
 Sill HnNe mnIe Cnse.

Chicago Ills, April 3S.--As the re- suit of nineteen motions for dismissal of counts in the indictments against the Standard oil Company of Indian a charged with accepting Illegal rates on shipments of oil, Judge Landis today in the United States district court or dered that $50 of the counts should be stricken out.
 Arguments on the motion, to dismiss have been in progress for two. days and the court finally ordered that a number of the counts should be strick . en out because of defects in the man- ner of drawing them In the majority of the instances where the motions for dismissal were upheld, the attor. neys for the government admitted that there had been either mistake in the indictment, or that there was something lacking in the evidence.
 The government attorneys express ed but little concern at the dismissal of the $50 counts, saying that there are still 1850 counts on which the in- dictments can stand.
