Train Ran Against Heavy Bulk of
l-.cad Pine at End of Tunnel and
Cars Took Fire—Explosion Was
from Dynamite Cartridges.
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.
New Treatment for Maniacs.
New York, March 29.—By the sys

cd or in strong delirium. This hos
pital, the first public institution in the
country to adopt the use of water as
a recognized part of its course ol
treatment, has been experimenting and
tabulating results for some time.

srybody who reads the news-

cures made by Dr.
l Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
J the great kidney, liver
L and bladder remedy.
It is the great medi
cal triumph of the nine
teenth century; dis
covered after years of
scientific research by
Dr. Kilmer, the emi
nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, iiver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
samp’u bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. I
