Observation-Disclosures by Roll

FiSHKlLL LANDING, n. T., Jan
2l.-Fifteen men, three of them
Americans. were killed late this af
ternoOn by a premature explosion OF
nitro glycerine in Il tunnel which is
to form part of the great acqueduct
which will carry water from the
Ashckan dam in the Catskills to New
York city.
Five were terribly mutilated, but
were so near the mouth Of the tunnel
that they were rescued alive. TIE
other fifteen were found beneath a
mass of rock and debris. literally
hammered by the force of the explo-
sion into a bleeding mass of heads
limbs and torsos.
Torch Touches Fuse.
II Is believed that the explosion was
caused by one of the workmen, VINO
carrying a torch, tripped and 1ell
igniting a fuse and setting off a Sc
ries of charges of nitro glycerine. The
squad of twenty men, who were In
volved in the accident having drIiled
the holes and placed the explosa. e
were trocping from the excavation
fifteen-those who were killed-in the
rear, and five, all of whom were tor-
eigners, in the lead. As the five near

in all and the premature explosion
indicated Immediately that there mad
been a disaster. a number of laboreJ S
rushed to the tunnels mouth and at
ter dragging forth the injured. set &c
work clearing away the rock and
earth to get at the dead.
As the nitro glycerine had beer
purposely set to shatter rock, it did
net damage the tunnels interior more
than the contractors had planned ano
after two houls work the 6cdiers were
reached.
Beyond Recognition.
The scene was such as to preclude
the possibility of Identification except
