DEATHS IN THETUNNEL.
Terrible Fallot Rock In the
New York Subway.
Dowie In New York Aluminum Pa
tents Chautauqua Assembly Offi
cers Increased Immigration Ne
Trotting and Pacing Records Death
of Professor Thurston.
Ten men were killed by a cave-In
of the roof and walls of the New
York city subway tunnel at 195tb
street Saturday night and four were
badly Injured. All of the dead and in
jured were workmen, and most of them
Italians.
Tho 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 ol
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
of 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 set oft in rapid suc
cession by electricity, loosening large
quantities of rock.
The drillers say that about 10 min
utes elapsed to allow the smoke tc
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 10 workmen.
The 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 I he
nien at the face of the boring.
The drillers and two or three Italians
who were out of reach of the deluge ol
rocks were knocked flat on their faces
by the rush of wind driven through the
tunnel.
The cave-in released a natural spring
lr, 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 Had a Quiet Sunday.
Sunday was the quietest one that
Dowlo and his host have passed since
their invasion of New York two
weeks ago. Three services were held
in the early morning, afternoon and
evening, at the two latter of which the
garden was fairly well filled, the aud
ience being of a better class than
those who have hitherto been attract
ed, and the proceedings being marked
by the absence of any attempt at dis
turbance. The afternoon sermon pre
sented no novel features, being de
voted to Dowie's customary denuncia
tions of Masonry and Roman Catholic
ism. When he opens his week night
ireetings he faces an immense throng;
when he closes his audience has
dwindled to only a few hundred peo-
pie besides the "host" he brought
with him from the West. He frets
fumes, threatens and cajoles and final
ly resorts to the use of epithets, his
hearers meanwhile leaving the meet
ings several hundred together, drown
ing the sound of his voice.
As a matter of fact. New Yorkers
do not take him seriously and It is
evident that his "restoration" move
ment will fail both spiritually and
financially.
Weekly Trade Review.
Dradstreet'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 damago,
stories of lighter than expected re
ceipts, and rather better spinning de
mand here and abroad.
The iron and steel trades do not
fchow 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.

nnd 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 frim the use of the
processes at present employed and or
dored an accounting of profits for th
time that it has been manufacturing
aluminum in infringement of th
Bradley patent, some 12 years.

UNGER ADMIRALTY LAW
Opinion of Supreme Court as to
Canals and Canal Boats.
Held That Canal Boats Are Ships
Within Meaning of Admiralty Law.
Not Subject to State Contract Lien
Law Four Judges Join In a Dis
senting Opinion.
Washington, Oct. 27.-Justice Brown
f the United States supreme court
delivered the opinion of the court In
the case of Clara Perry vs. Cornelius
L. Haines, involving the question as
to whether the admiralty Jurisdiction
of the federal courts extends to canals
and canal boats.
The court held that It did. Justice
Brewer delivered a dissenting opinion.
The chief Justice and Justices Harlan
and Peckham Joined in the dissenting
opinion.
The case arose over repairs to a
canal boat plying on the Erie canal
and grew out of an effort to enforce
the state contract lien law. The en
forcement was resisted on the ground
that the contract was a maritime one
and therefore exempt, it being claimed
that only the federal courts have Jur
isdiction In all admiralty cases.
Justice Brown in delivering the
opinion held that canal boats are ships
within the meaning of the admiralty
law and that therefore the case la
one In which only the national courts
have jurisdiction. He held that ad
miralty jurisdiction extends to canals.
He declared that the line could be
drawn only at rowboats.
He also held that the fact that a
contract was made on land and the
repairs were made In drydock does
not affect the validity of federal jur
isdiction. The present employment of
horses, he continued, is merely an ac
cident and the motive power was like
ly to be changed with the contem
plated enlargement of the canal.
"The only distinction between ca
nals and other navigable waters," he
added, "Is that they are rendered nav
igable by artificial means and some
times, though by no means always.
are wholly within the limits of a par
ticular state.
We fail to see, however, that this
creates any distinction In principle.
Canals though frequently within the
limits of a single state generally con
nect waters lying outside the state.
In this case, the Erie canal, though
wholly within the state of New York,
Is a great highway of commerce be
tween ports In different states and
foreign countries and it is navigable
bv vessels which also traverse the
waters of the Hudson river."
Justice Brewer In his dissenting
opinion took the position that the mar
itime law was originally meant to
cover the sea only and that its ex
tension to navigable streams was
meant to cover only streams which
are navigated by ocean going vessels.
"I do not." he said, "believe that un
der the true Interpretation of the con
stitutlon the admiralty Jurisdiction of
the federal courts extends to contracts
for the repair of vessels engaged
wholly In commerce within a state.
The Erie canal was built by the
state, is owned by the state, and It
cannot for one moment be assumed
that the national government can In
terfere to restrict the state as to the
size of the canal, the depth of the wa
ter, the construction of bridges or
ather things In respect to which It has
full control over the natural navigable
waters. It seems an anomaly that
when the state builds a waterway
and owns a waterway and has general
control over that waterway. It cannot
provide as It sees fit for enforcing
claims for work on vessels navigating
such highways when the vessels are
Df a character which prevents their
being used for any foreign commerce.'
He referred to the possible deter
mination on the part of the people of
the state of New York at next week's
election to enlarge the canal and said
that if such control was given the
ttate it ought also to be given Juris
Action of it.
Justice Brewer further emphasized
his views in the case by referring to
the Insignificant character of the boat
an which the repairs were made, say
Ing that while repairs cost $154, the
vessel was sold for $155. This fact
also was used to show that the vessel
was practically rebuilt and the con
elusion drawn that on that account
Ihe state courts should have jurisdic
tion.

Former Westminster College Athlets
Dies as Result of Gridiron Accident.
New Castle, Pa., Oct. 26. The first
football fatality of the season here oc
curred Friday, when Walter E. Ed
munds, a wellknown young athlete,
died at the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Edmunds of Wallace
avenue. He was Injured a week ago
while playing with the New Castle In
dians against the Salem, O., team at
that place. During the second half of
the game he was accidentally kicked
in the groin, but continued in the
game.
The injury was not apparently seri
ous and at first gave him little pain.
Ho worked Monday and Tuesday In tho
Greer tin mill, where he was employed.
He was taken very 111 that afternoon
and was forced to go to bed, although
his condition did not become serious
until early Friday morning, when he
sank suddenly and died.
He was 23 years old, and during the
past five years made a good record on
the football field. He weighed 183
pounds and was of powerful physique.
He first played fullback on the New
CastJe High school team, and was since
connected with every team of Import
ance here. He also received flattering
offers to play with nearby college
teams, but never accepted any, al
though he did occasionally play with
Westminster college. He is survived
by his parents and two brothers, Will
lam of this city and Chester Edmunds,
who is connected with the Edmunds
Brick company of Pittsburg.
TRIED TO BURN HOME.
Incendiaries Thought to Secure Money
While House Was on Fire.
Scottdale, Pa., Oct. 26. A desperate
attempt was made early Friday morn
ing to burn the residence of Tax Col
lector Frank R. Bell, about one mile
east of this place.
The party or parties who made the
attempt gained entrance through a cel
lar wtadow, and placing a large quan
tity of paper on the landing of the cel
lar stairs set fire to it. The fumes
from the smoke of the burning paper
aroused Mr. Bell, and he succeeded in
extinguishing the flames before much
damage was done.
Mr. Bell Is tax collector for Bullskin
township, and the parties evidently
thought he had money in the house,
and that It could be easily secured dur
ing the excitement attending the dis
covery of the fire.
In the cellar was a large amount of
conned fruit and smoked meats, but
none of these were touched, except one
r.moked ham, which was taken out to
tho garden, where it was found in the
morninaf. There is no clew to the in
cendiaries. Two Men Killed by an Old Can.

killed both men. The can had con
talned nitro-glycerine. Marks had his
head, hands and feet blown off, and his
body was disemboweled. Hardy had
his eyes blown out and his legs and
arms were shattered.
