Aug. 21.—AnotHef- serious fatality occur! ed last night in connection with the work of digging a waterworks tunnel under Lake Erie, from the middle of the lake to the shore. Eleven men lost their lives fey drowning in this latest disaster. The work of- digging the tunnel is being conducted from several points in the lake, by means of shafts and cribwork. On the 1 -Itli inst. the woodwork of crib No. L' caught fire at night and ten men. who were forced to descend the shaft to escape the flames, were suffocated by noxious gases from the fire. Two men lived in the tunnel for six days after the disaster. They were finally taken out and are now hovering between life and death at one of the C ity hospitals. Last night's disaster occurred lit crib No. Which is three miles farther out in the lake than the crib where the fire occurred last week, or five miles altogether Iroin the shore. It seems that early last evening a force ol thirty men were taken out lo the crib to begin the work of digging a tunnel toward cfib No. 2. The shaft had been sunk and surrounded wilh a steel casing, but only ten feet of tunnel had been dug* when work was resumed lust night. Some of the men employed on the outside of the shaft and others were awaiting their turn to descend to the bottom, but eleven men were at work In the tunnel about CS o'clock, when a terrific explosion of gas occurred. The explosion forced plates out of position in one side of tlie steel lining of the shaft, with the Jesuit that a great volume of water from the lake poured into the shaft, drowning the men at the bottom like rats in a trap, and filling the shaft. Exactly the same conditions existed at this crib as at No. 2 crib, when the fire occurred last week, there being 110 means of communicating with the shore. Although the contractors were severely censured for having no boats at the .service.of the men working on the crib, the same neglect was appar eiil last night. The men on the crib had no other alternative than to keep their steam whistle blowing continuously. The unusual noise, after several hours had elapsed, attracted the attention of the men ftt a life saving station f ir out on a pier. A crew from the station went to the crib and brought back the first news-of the disaster to the city. Rescuing parties were at once sent out. but it was not until daylight came "t hat any work could be accom- S plislicd in the shaft. At this writing j live bodies have been recovered by J means of grappling hooks, and arc now lying on the crib. Six more bodies to be at the bottom of the shaft. Woiiinn BseortM Strike Breaker*.

He de clared that the Philadelphia organization would be found in fine shape, and denounced the misleading statements of certain newspapers with respect to the situation in Philadelphia. '1 he platform adopted by the convention •compares the prosperous condition of the country under the McKinley ad ministration, and says that the people cf the State are to be congratulated upon the prosperity they now enjoy.
