8 DEATHS ia THE TUNNEL Terrible Fall ot Rock In the New York Subway. Dowie's Family History—Aluminum Patents lnt-eased Immigration. Sudden Death of Professor Thurs ton—New Trotting Pacing Rec ords—lnjured Woman Given $5U,000. Ten men were killed by a cave-in Df the roof and walls of the New JTork city subway tunnel at 195 th itreet Saturday night and four were badly injured. All of the dead and in jured were workmen, and most of them Italians. The accident was the most disas trous that has occurred in the con struction of the subway. At the point where the cave-in occurred a gang of 20 men were at work in the tunnel which is about 110 feet below the sur face. The tunnel was being bored by open ing a perpendicular embrasure and blasting the sides to the right and left □f this embrasure. Three blasts were arranged for by the drillers, the holes being charged well toward the roof. The drillers then withdrew and the three blasts were sot off in rapid suc cession by electricity, loosening largo quantities of rock. The drillers say that about 10 min utes elapsed to allow the smoke to clear away before Timothy Sullivan, the foreman, and Electrician Schuette advanced, the latter Intending to string wires and hang electric lamps to light the way. They were followed by 16 workmen. 1 he vanguard of the gang had reached the broken stone when a rumbling sound was heard. It grew in volume with lightning-like rapidity. Those in the rear had just time to turn about and run, when with a deafening crash hundreds of tons of rock fell on the men at the face of the boring. The drillers and two or three Italians who were out of reach of the deluge of rocks were knocked flat on their faces by the rush of wind driven through the tunnel. The cave-in released a natural spring ir. the earth above the tunnel and in a few minutes a stream of water was gushing in and trickling about the feet of the workmen and to some extent in terfering with the work of rescue. Dowie Family Story. In a broken voice, with tears stream ing down liis face and his body shak ing with emotion, John Alexander Dowie in Madison Square garden in New York Monday night before an audience of 10,000 persons, announced that he was not the son of John Mur ray Dowie of Essex, la., from whom he takes his patronymic, but of a British army officer of high family by a "Scotch marriage." He heaped vindication upon John Murray Dowie, who he declared had made his mother believe her marriage to Dowie's father was shameful. The army officer, he said, having been tak en away by his relatives, his mother in the first flush of her shame had sought to give her son a name by mar lying John Murray Dowie. "My father was a man of high standing. He led one of the great charges in the Crimean war and died like a soldier at the head of his troops. "I want to say that I never wanted this story to come out, but it is known that I am not the son of the miserable scoundrel who, in order to strike at me, sold the letters in which I re proached him, to the vile press of New York." Weekly Trade Review. Bradstreet's review of trade says: The week's developments have fa vored an increase in the conservatism which has ruled in many lines for some time past. Good and poor re ports combine to give an appearance of irregularity to general trade as a whole. Fluctuations in grain prices have been numerous but complications have caused some covering in wheat, but the general drift was lower because of expected freer movement from the Northwest, favored by good weather. Cotton prices reflect short cover ing due to a paring down of estimates of yield, based upon frost damage, stories of lighter than expected re ceipts, and rather better spinning de mand here and abroad. The iron and steel trades do not show much, if any, change. Prices are weak. Stock prices at New York are ir regular and somewhat heavy, following the shutting down of the Montana plants of the Amalgamated Copper company. Decision on Aluminum Patents. A case involving the entire alum inum industry of the country was de cided in New York last week when the United States court of appeals handed down a decision upholding the validity of the so-called Bradley pa tent for smelting by the use of elec tricity. The suit was one brought by the Electric Smelting and Aluminum com pany of Cleveland against the Pitts burg Reduction company, the only con cern manufacturing aluminum in this country with plants at Niagara Falls and Massena, N. Y., and the court re versed the decision of the lower court granted the Cleveland company an in junction restraining the Pittsburg Re duction company from the use of the processes at present employed and or tiered an accounting of the time that it h.is been manufacturing aluminum in infringement of the Bradley imtent, some 12 years.
