Now York, March 29.—There was a heavy explosion in the subway inn- nel at Cnc Hundred and Sixt>-*~.gm. street ami Broadway today, where t... tunnel is I2U feet below the suriac. of the si reel. Fire apparatus and e.\ ira police were summoned. The c plosion toou place at. a point beyond mat io which the trains are running t piisimt, and near the American League baseball park. Au uytown subway train which had been emptied of passengers at One r.uni red and Fifty-seventh street, and as run to One Hundred and Sixty- .glu.i street to be switched across to ih downtown tracks, got beyond the ccntioi ul the motor man and ran into a pile of construction material in the One Hue di ed and Sixty-eighth street station. lue cars jumped the track and then caught fire. It was reported that some loose powder wdiich was to be used in nigging the tunnel was ignited and ex ploded. For some time it was not Known whether or not the train cerw had escaped. An attempt was made to operate au elevator running through a shaft from the tunnel to the street, but it could not be moved. Some of the employes in the tunnel ran through the tube to the One Hundred and Eighty-first street statiou, and reached the surfaci at that point. The firemen passed the hose down into the tunnel and fought the blaz. of the burning cars. Two hours alter the accident the motorman of the subway train had not been found, and it was reported that he had been pinned in his compart ment in the first car and either killed by the explosion or burned to death It was reported that the conductor and guards »f the train and a gang of 25 laborers employe in the tunnel had escaped by way of the shaft at One Hundred and Eighty-first street station. The firemen made desperate efforts to get at the burning cars, but were unable to do so, as the tunnel was filled with smoke on both sides of the stations where the accident occurred and the firemen were driven back each time they essayed to reach the scene. The only way they had of reaching the fire was to lower to the shaft and pour water indiscriminately into the tunnel below in the hope of flooding the the fire. It was ascertained that the train had run against a heavy bulk head ol pine, w'hich had been built across the tunnel and that the wood was set on fire after the collision. There were two explosions, and both were later said to have been of dyna mite cartridges.used in blasting. One occurred soon after the collision. Thi other occurred mu eh later.
