was responsible for two deaths in
Richmond yesterday, two negroes be-
ing stricken In the streets and dying
almost at once.
Sarah Jackson, colored woman, liv-
ing near the corner OF Third and Clay
:, streets, dropped dead suddenly near
4 her house. DR.. r. e. Jones, the colored
physician, was called, but tile woman
had evidently died Immediately The
case was reported to the coroner, who
decided that an inquest was unnec-
essary. The woman had been sick
for some time. and her death. though
Que to heat. was accelerated by other
Is complications.

Saunders. All were white men, and
all employed by the City Engineers
Department.
MINI Was Sufrccatcd.
Foreman Atkinson said yesterday
afternoon that he could not account
for the cave in of the earth. The
trench was not very deep one-.tliat
Is, as compared with many sewer con-
necions, some Of which go as far
below ground as thirty feet IN making
proper grades for the water fall.
Coroner Taylor looked over the
ground yesterday and viewed the re-
mains Of Saunders, and concluded that
an inquest was unnecessary.
II Think said the coroner, that
Saunders was undoubtedly suffocated.
and In very short time after the
cave In. No bones were broken. nor
did there seem to be any other se-
rious injury
Itwas reported that the earth Where
the accident occurred was made
ground, having been sloped UP to the
Lee Monument; but this does not np-
pear to have been the case. Coroner
Taylor declares that I,e sides of the
ditch appeared to be In regular strata
formation OF clay, gravel and fuller's
earth, as though this was tho flrst
time the ground had been disturbed.
The first crack appeared foot or
more from the edge of the trench, a
section of the roadway breaking off
and falling into the ditch.
Some surprise was expressed by
members Of the. crowd that no timber
supports or aHtE,huttresses We're used
in the trench. hHF EForeman Atkinson
explained that this is not customary
at this time Of the year, when the soil
appeared to be reasonably dry.
Mayor oruch Annoyed.
Mr.. j. NJ. Allen and later Mayor Nc
Carthy We're much annoyed at the de-
lays 5occasioncd by the telephone oper-
ator. The phone in the drug store
at the Shenandoah Flats is one OF the
nickel in the slot" variety. and
nickes appeared to be hard sto find
in the haste Of the occasion. When
tho Mayor arrived and was using the
phone repeatedly in summoning as
sistance. he was quite positse IN his
expressions Of disapproval at the de-
lays imposed BY the telephone company
when every moment counted in the
work OF rescue. Later4in the after
room after repeated complaints from
the Mayor. the phone was thrown
open to general use by the officials.
So much unnerved by The accident
were the men engaged on the job, and
so much overcome by the strenuous
time in getting the victims out, that
no attempt was made to continue the
work yesterday afternoon. Foreman
Atkinson had the men put in some
wooden braces to prevent further slid
ing, and the ditch was fenced off. The
men Law about under the treeA and
discussed the accident, and talked OF
THE ones who We're caught under the
earth.
Much Excitement.
Considerable excitement was coca.
stoned downtown yesterday when the
report spread over town that the wall.
OF the Shenandoah Flats had cracked
and fallen in. AS matter of fact
1.-THE trench is nearly a block from the
flats, being nearer the Lee Monumc nj
than any other building though no,
near enough for tho weight OF tho
monument TO have any inhuerre on the
i,CaVe-in.
