FIRE RfRNED FIEutCELY. CLEVELAND. Aug. 14 -At !:45 this morning No. 2 waterworks crib, five mill's out In the lake, burned to the water's edge. The flreboat Clevelander went out to the scene and the life-saving crew was a'.so called out. The flames could be plainly seen from the hhore and the complete destruction of thp crib seemed Imminent. Whether many men were on the crib could no be learned, but It is thought ther were fully forty-five workmen. The men worked In three shifts of fif teen' men each, it is aald. At 3:30 It could not be learned whether the rescu ers had reached the crib In time to save rhe imperiled men or not. The, "re burned fiercely from the start from about 2:45 to about 3:30. It la not known whether the crib was supplied with boa'a or not. HORRrFYING SCENES WITNESSED Unfortunate Men Were Caught Like Rats In a Trap, CLEVELAND, Aug. 14. Thirty men suffocated In the new water works tun nel and a number of workmen drowned are thp first reports of the death list of an awful calamity which occurred at an early hour today. The new water works tunnel crib No. 2 caught fire and was almost destroyed by the flames. Three gangs of tunnel workers who live at the crib were caught like rats In a trap and either had to jump Into the lake and possibly drown or else go back Into the tunnel to a probable death by suffocation. It Is known that at least three men were drowned and a number were rescued. They belonged to the shift that was resting at the time and were forced to Jump Into the lake to escape a death by flr?. Many of them were very badly burned, others slight ly. However, the thirty men who were at vrk in the tunnel at the time of the fire may all be dead from suffocation. At 4 a. m. when a tug reached the scene the fire had died down somewhat. The life saving crew, fire tug Cleve lander and four tugs were on the scene, but nothing could be done to learn whether the men in the tunnel were nllve or dead, because of the still burn ing- structure. The firemen had the flames under control at 4:t0 a. m. The opinion of some on the scene was thit the tunnel men had perlshe for want of air. Others thought they were safe, as the compressed air was possibly not sbut off. The tug Sprankle brought the badly burned and halt naked men to shore, where several of them were taken in ambulances to hos pitals. At 5:30 o'clock a tug came In with five charred bodies that had been found. At 6 a. m. the coroner has been sum moned and was taken to the scene tn a tug. Experts also who know the ar rangements of the shaft In which are imprisoned the sixteen men will also go out. The five bodies found are charred beyond recognition. A few min ute before 3 o'rl k a bdlr in tht ':r.b expM-d with terrific frce. On g.ng of (-ight m-n was at work in the tunnel b.-nath the lake and tw more gangt wer asles-p In th crib at th time. A soon as the ex;ilj;,n occurred one of the gang abov (the lake started down the elevator to get the gang und"rna:h out but while on th way dmn th power operating the I.-va:or gav out and thy were cut off with their comrades. In a few mlnut -s the remainder of the party In ;h rrlb discovered tha: their position wa ex'remeiy critical. About twenty-one men and one woman were hemn-d in by the burning crib which was of wo.,1 and was filled with ln rUmahle material. Ti terrified to dress th-y Were forced back atep by step to the water'a edge by the advancing fire. Smoke enveloped them an! their only hope aeenvd :he war of the lake. They were without boits and three mil- from shore. Thy had no hope of j aid reaching them. S-mn the flames f ireed them Into the water and gather ing any pice of wreckage possible, Jump-d into the like. There waa not even a ledge around the crib for the Imperiled people to cl'ng to, and they were flntlrg n-ar the burning crib screaming for h-lp when the tug Sprin kle reached the scer.e. The tug was In the harbor when the fire was firs: seen and though It went at fu'd speed to the burning structure, the building hal burnfd to the waters level when il reached there. Captain H. Thorn? of the tug J. R. Sprankle stated that he found the lak? in the vicinity of the fire swarming with men. They were all naked and were swimming about In the water aim st exhausted. He says that he saw at least one man throw up his hinds In despair and sink Into a watery grave. Captain Thorne and his crew rescued eighteen of the men and brought them to Cleveland. Daniel Hartman was one of those brought In on the Sprankle. He said that the first Intimation of anything wrong was the terrific explosion which awakened him and the others. "A fearful panic followed," he said "many of the men rushing from their beds and throwing themselves into the lake. I ran from my bunk and looked around and soon saw that the crib was doomed. The fire spread like lightning and there was hardly any us fighting it. It eoon got too -warm for me and I Jumped Into the water." Men brought in by the tug all unit ed in saying that there was little hope for the poor unfor:una:es left In the shaft "The elevator Is burned." they said, "and they are cornered down there like J rats. As soon aa the air be.-omes dead they wHl smother.' CONSOLIDATION OF AGENCIES. S. P. and V. P. Agencies to Minaged by the Former. CHICAGO.
