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.
