BLOW OUT IN EAST river TUBE
SENDS "|N|NER" AL0FT 100 FEET
THROUGH MUD AND ICY water
Man Was Found by Rescuers Br used and Dazed and
Taken to Hospital Sat up and Asked for Cigarette

New York. Feb. 3p.-Two men are read
as the result of compressed air blow
out Saturday afternoon in a subway be-
ing constructed 100 feet below the surface
of the East river. A third man who,
with the others. was hurled upward
through MID and water to the surface Of
the river. was bruised and dazed, but
soon after being taken to a hospital sat
up and asked for a cigaret
!mperriIled Lives Of IS
The blow out, believed to have been
caused by leak of compressed air
pumped into the subway to stabilize the
work under construction, inlperilled the
lives Of 50 others who were working IN
the tube
The men killed were Frank Driver and
Michael Mccarthy, both described as
miners
With Marshal Mabey, a helper, they
We're sent rocketing up through the roof
of the tunnel into the muck, slime and
icy water of the river. Persons who wit
messed the accident declared the three
men were shot fully 80 feet above the
surface of the water.
Tescuers who put out from barges an
chored in the river found Driver still
alive. He died, however. before he could
be taken ashore. Mabey appeared only
slightly injured, while no trace was
found of Mccarthy until today, after
dragging the river for IS hours.
Work Pushed Rapidly
1t was learned Saturday night that
much difficulty has been experienced
In constructing the new subway, ow-
ing to the presence of great quantities
of sliding gravel and mud. Many slides
have occurred, it was said, but, despite
this fact, the work has been pushed
with greater rapidity than in any
subway thus far constructed in this
city.
Seven Of the 50 men Immediately af-
fected by the explosion were working
in what is known as the head" of the
subway, putting up beams and other
wise making ready to extend the tun-
mel.
There had been no blasting since
early morning, so when a fog-like mist
appeared in the tube it was regarded
as suff1cient warning that something
was wrong, but before the workmen
could find the trouble and try to re-
pair it, the blow-ou came.
The break in the subway. which is
part OF route extending from White
nan street, Manhattan, to Montague
and Clark streets. Brooklyn, was at a
point about midway under the river.
Pressure "a Pounds to Square Inch
The tunnel is being constructed by
the shield method, according to
statement issued Saturday night by
the Public Service Commission. The
air pressure holds up the bottom of
the river while the shield is pressed
forward on its course.

VALUABLE BOOK
POSSESSED BY A
WATERVILLEM MAN

Fred r. Graves Of this city has in his
possession: one Of the most valuable
books in the State Of Maine in an origi-
nal work Of Noah Webster. Jr.. entitled.
Collection Of Essary and Fugitive
Writings on Moral. Historical. Political
and Literary Subjects. This book was
obtained by Mr.. Graves some years ago
and in accordance with his usual plan
not to sell anything Of this kind unless
he had q duplicate 1t has remained in
his possession and Is probably the only
one In existence.
Mr. Graves first got his idea Of the
exceptional value Of tho book from
professor a. Harvard who was here to
look into some Indian relics. Mr.. Graves
made the remark to him that the In
dian mounds were all made after King
Philips war and the Professor ques-
toned il. Mr.. Graves said his authori-
ty was Noah Webster, Jr. and then the
Professor Immediately declared that
Mr.. Graves was mistaken, as Harvard
had every one Of the works Of Webster
and there was nothing that contained
anything about this Mr.. Graves then
preceded to show him the book and he
was dumtfounded as he did not know
that anything Of this kind existed He
Immediately asked Mr.. Graves to name
q price on it, he finally did so and the
man has since taken 1t up with the
Harvard authorities and two more men
from the college have been here to look
at il, but Mr.. Graves is not at all fussy
about selling it and they have got to
come to his price.
The book was written between and
during the years 1873 and 1855 and was
published in 1890 by I. Thomas and f.
T. Andrews Of No. As Newbury street.
Boston, for the author. The book was
sold by subscription only and the names
Of the subscribers are printed in the
first Of the book, so it is evident tina:
less than a hundred copies were printed.
1t is dedicated to tho President Of the
United States and to the Senator'S and
Representatives and so on down to the
people. Mr.. Webster did his own proof
reading on the book and some of the
spelling and phrasing would shock peo-
pie who depend for their spelling upon
Webster.
The book which Mr.. Graves has was
the original property Of Thomas Wal
ley. who was one of the subscribers. 1t
is in a splendid state Of preservation
and is kept very carefully by MIR.
Graves. This Is only one Of number
OF books and antiquities which are in
his possession and for which he has
been offered large sums. but he has
made It a rule never to sell anything
but duplicates and as frequently he Is
unable to obtain the duplicates as there
are none in the world. his collection Is
undoubtedly one of the finest in the
State Of Maine if not in New England
as he has made study Of it for over
50 years now.

WORST STORM
OF THE WINTER

The storm which swept over the city
Saturday was the most severe that has
visited Waterville this year. The snow
began early in the morning and at that
time was almost rain. being very wet and
heavy, the thermometer dropping rapidly
and the snow changed to dry, hard flakes
which beat down with great force. In
the country and everywhere where the
wind got a rake, the drifts piled up rap
idly and the storm was one of the hard
est to face that has been here this win
ter. The snow finally stopped coming
down early in the evening but it contin-
ued to blow and the thermometer to go
down until one Of the coolest mornings
of the winter was seen on Sunday morn
ing. 1t warmed up but little during the
day Sunday and only those people were
out who had business. Street Commits
sioner Estey had the plows out early and
the walks were kept in good condition
and were open for the people who wished
to 20 to church. The trains and electric
cars weathered it in good shape and
there was little delay on any of the lines.
