Spectat Dispaten to The Chicago Tribune, New Yonk, July 21.—The cbapter of uccidents which Is made this summer memorable was supplemented this morning by a calamity in which twenty mon lost thoir Hives at the en- tranea of the Hudson River Tunnel at the foot of Fifteenth stroot, in Jersey City. «A portion of the connoetion chamber, known also ns tho grand archwuy, between tho working shaft and tho grand tunnel proper, caved In at 4:00 in tho morning. Tho wator of tho river, with which the soll was saturated, poured rapidly in, and of tho twonty-olght men who wore working in tho chambor, twenty wore - EITNER AUPFOCATRD OR DROWNED, Tho elght who escaped did so through tho air- Jocic, und thoir rescue was almost a miracic. At midnight tho “ shift " of twenty-clght men In the tunnel was changed, and tho following workmen, under tha suporvision of Aasistant- Suporintendont Petor Woodland, descended tho shaft: Frank Olson and Thomas Burke, fore- mon; Thomas Brady, Christinn Hanson, B, Me- Goven, ‘T, Van Nosirand, A. J. Motine, John Doyle, James Iayes, John Creovy, A. Erickson, Poter Freissher, Patrick Kirwln Charics Netl- sou, Willinm ¥, Baytoy, Androw Jacobson, Bryan Shoridau, Charlos 8vonsou, C. Andorson, ¥rank Bush, Matthow McCarty, Otto Besselen, Jobn Jonson, Patrick Collins, Patrick Broderick, Mivhact Brodorick, and Thomas Crimmins. THY WORK IN WINCH THEY Wek ENGAGED wasin making connection between the fron plates of tho roof of the grand arch und the brick work of the working shaft. For support, thisiron roof dopondod upon strong woodon braces, and upon tho compressed alr which was forced down from above by menng of alr com- pressors, aud which exerted nn uplifting powor of twenty pounds to the square Inch, The sufo- ty of the mon and of the work deponded princl- pully upon the CONTROL OF THIS COMPRESSED AIR. Aasmalllonk, through which it might pass up- ward through tho thirty fect of mud and cinders which cover the tunnel, was linble to occur at any time, and, untoss discovered and stopped in songon, to causo tho ontire muss of material to como tumbling down Into tho archway. This fact was porfeotly well understood by the men ug woll na thofr foreman, and a ateady watch was kept for alr loaks, which, when found, wore atonco stopped up by thoalltin the tunnel, which bas the consistency, and much of- tho vir- tue, of putty. ‘i If WAB PRODABLY owing to a relaxation of this constant watch that tho terriblo calamity of to-day was duc. Half tho shift of twenty-olght mon left the tunnol at ¢ o'clock in tho morning, and pnescdto tho surfaca through tho shaft to out their lunch. Thoy retfrned at about 4:00 to rellevo tholr comrades, and St was at this tine that tho dis- aster occurred, While tho chango was being mado a hissing sound was hoard, which all reo- ognized Instantly as tho nolo of oscaping air, It grew louder aa the vont increased in size, and ulmost immediately tho timber supporting tho roof began to sway. THEN THERE WAS A SITARD CRACK, tho heavy jolsts snappod Ike bamboos, and tho thitty foot of silt and cinders which covered the chamber to the level of tho working-shatt was Precipitated upon tho hends of tho dooinod mon, Eight of thom—Hrudy, Hanson, MoGovern, Van Nostrand, Moline, Doylo, Hayes, and Crimmius, —had tima to leap into the alr-look. A ninth, foreman Frank Olson, passed his right arm through the open door, but before ho could enter tho heavy fron of tho roof fotl against the door, ewinging {t partly to, aud . CRUSHING HIM DBFORE TR RYES OF HIS COM PANIONS, ‘Tho othor twonty mon wero now completoly cut off from all oscapo, and were Iltorally buriod in tho fulling timber, iron, and mud. ‘Tho men in tho lock soomod doomod to cortain death, forthe compressed afr pushing agniust tho door giving egress to tho shaft proventod thom from oponing it, and tho wutor of the river, oozing through the mud and loose soll, was raolly pouring in und threatening to drown om. ‘This alr-look {aan fron chamber rosombling a locomotive, boltor which furnishes the only means of ingress ta the boilorand eyross from tt It ig round, has o length of fifteen féot, and a dlamotor of alx foot.

Two bull'ssoyes of plato Rings look from one ond Into tho shaft, and two more from tho opposit end into tha tunnel, in which au electric light was kept burning night and day. Tho pipes which convey tho cum= prossod air into thu tunnel run through the alr look, A pipo opens into the lock from tho tunnel and anothor pipe from the shatt, eo that alr from olthor dircction may be lot into tho jock avoording og ingress or egress may be dealred, ‘THE PRINCIPLE OF OPERATING tho lock fg much tho samo us that of the jock of a canal, In going In tho pressod alr is Iet Into the look gradually until tho donaity be~ comics ogual to that of tho tunnel, In coming out thé operution ts yuvergod,—tho bighly com- prosacd alr in tho lock 1s allowed to cacape, and ita donsity thus gradually booomes tho samo as that of tho outaldo utmosphore. Tho greatest caro is of oursa necessary in Oporut- jug the lock, ‘for upon it do pounds tho Jives of the workmon and tho sucooms of the entérprise.

Thelr crios wore hoard, however, and ng anon ns possible roliof wasasuthand.

Hurley reiched the scene fn a very short ttme, and clambered quickly down the shaft to tho rescue. Ho waa followed by Patrick Meehan, Michael Burehcll, and Thomas Andorson, and the four tried to foree open the door of the lock, but without success, tho pressuro of the ulrogainatit from tho inside being too great. Then Hurley seized a crowbar nnd burst ono of the bulls-eyes, At the samo tine Thomas Van Nostrand, ono of the in:prisoned men, broke tho other, TNE COMPRESSED ATR rushed throwgh tha lock with a whirr, followed by a stroam of water, and, the pressury Lelng thus removed, tho door was forced upon, The uleht ment rushed out and burried across the shaft to tho atutrs leading to tho surface, fol- lowed by a flood of water which threatened to engulf thom.

ANDERSON bad reached the scene, A glanee atthe river showed them nt once that all hopoof saving the life of any of tho twenty workmen in the tunnel was invain, The water hod risen in tho shaft until {t was twenty feot deep, and on aleyol with tho river,and this was suilicient ovidence that the tunnel was flooded. Even had the men been saved from suffocation, drowning mvuet have put an end to tholr lives ina very fow minutes ‘nfter the fatal crash. Tho olr- compressors, however, werd kupt at work for four Lours, FORCING AIt INTO TITE TUNNET, although Its eseapo tothe surface of tho wator in the shaft in tho form of bubbles wus proof that the buried workmen wore Loyend rellef. A pool of water stood on tho vop of the sunken ground over tho chamber, and tho timbers of tbe shed, which had been torn down, wero seattored in a confused heap over the grave of the workmen. Work was at ones begun, how- ever, to recover the bodics, and a force of fifty mien was soon removing tho timber and other débris of the wrecked shed. ‘THE NEWS OP THE DIRASTER had spread rapidly through Jersey City, and by’ 6 o'elock a crowd numboring nearly 1,000 people had congreguted around tho shaft, and were gazing at the pool which marked the tomb of tho unfortunate Inborers. Policemen were Boon on bund to keep the throng back, and ropea were strotched around to protect the workmon from interference. ‘Tho ecene all through tho day wns n sorrowful onc.

Workinen had ‘been ongnged for severn] days in replnolng this temporary hulking with a permanent work. The iron plating nboye the roof had been placed in position, and tho men were working their way downward through slltand débrie, putting In fron plates at tho sides, It Ja supposed that some of those pintes which were pineed next the brick wall of tho morning shift were NOT PLACED CIlA8R EXOUGIT to confine the condensed air supplied to the men working Inthe shaft, by tho engine on tho sure face, This compressed alr worked ita way out, turning tho plates backward and nllowing water to flow into tho tunnel. It was not water directly from the river that flowed In, us tho place where the break occurred fa about fifty feot from tho bulkhead, but the ground is Mlled- in ground, and was much loosened and broken up by the exonvution for the working shaft. The ground fe filled with water, and us a current wan erented water from the river rusbed jn through the bulkhead, filling tho tunnel and working through the refuse-shatr, filling It with fifty fect of water. and coming within ten or twelve fect of the surface of tha ground. The ground {mmedintely over the brenk sank down some elght or ton fect, and water is now standing a foot ortwo deep in the bottom hole. ‘THY OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY, in explnining the accident, say thy workmen, in coming through the air-lock, must bave exer- efsed unusual curelesnesa, and, both doors of tho air-look velng opened at the same time, the compressed air was allowed to crenpo. The coin pressed alr serves u double purpose, namely: to koep the water out and to support the roof of thetunnel. So, when It escaped, the catastropho was inovitable, Workmen wero busily engaged: this afternoon rigging up a strong pump for the purpose of drawing out the water from tho woll-like struct- ure, and also for drawing tho water out of tho tunnel, which is filled to the extreme mit, ag has been nacertained by enginocrs by tho test of Attompting to forco compressed alr into the cavity. The waterin the shaft bna fallen about ten ten feet since morning in consequence of tho receding of the tide. Every now and then tho surface in the centre would be disturbed by nus merous nir bubbles, and at times would appear as if bolling. This appearance it ts sald isduo to tho fact that sone of the enrth or musunry 18 FALLING CONSTANTLY within tho tunnel, and, displacing tho alr, pro- duces this cifect.

STATEMENTS. OPPICIAL HEPOIT. New Yons, July 21.—Tho following is the olliclal report of the Hudeon Riyer Tunnel Com- pany, through Englucers Spollmian und Brush: “This morning about 4:30 o'clock, while the men were changing shifts, that portion of the iron roof adjoining tho shuft of the connecting chambers between tho two tunuvls und tho sink- ing shaftfollin. Twenty-elght mon were jn the tunnel ot the time, of whom eight cscapod, through tho dir-lock, and twenty: were killed. ‘The acoldent ocourred at the conneetion of the iron plates with tho brick wall of the working: shaft, which, during the changing of tho shifts, was probably not watched by the men ns closely na it should” buve been, and tha com- pressed air was allowed to escape, ‘I'hls com- pressed nr {s relied upon to assist. in supporting the roof, which was also sustained by a strong timber bracing, and tho escape of tho atr has always been prevented by stopping any louks with waste stilt, As the roof fell tho plate cloyed tho door of tho alr-lock into tho tunnel, and tho water rising rupldly cut off the escape of twenty men who were kilied. “Tho bullding of thls connecting chambor, though a ditiicult piece of work, progressed until now. Tho roof was all in position and securely bolted.. The connection of the fron plates with tho! shaft was boing made atthe time of the accident. © Work will be prosecuted night and day with all the men that cun be advantageously em- ployed until alt the bodies are recovered, whieh will probably tke about three daya.

Tho following statement Js made by a man who escaped: After cight mon had cscaped, one man, in trying to puas through the door leading from tho nir-lock Into tho temporary ehumber of the tnunol, was Jamined in the door way, ond, despite tho cfforta of those abend, could not be brought out, as tho door closed upon him and held him fast. Peter Woodland, Assistant Superintendent, told tho mon to try and get out, and, when tho ninthe mun was fuatoned in the doorway, called out to those who had escaped, tetling them to hurry and try and get assistance to help the restand himself who were loft behiyd, He refused to lenvo himself, suying ho would stay and make every olfort to gottho reat out, and, if !t wero not possible, thon thoso escaping must try to get the reat and hinself out allve, 2 ‘The following ls a complote Ist of tho saved: Thomas Brady, 11, MeGovorn, A.

NOW THE TUNNEL WAS CONSTRUCTED, New York Nmes, July 19, Tho method of building the tuunel fs different, itis claimed, from unything over Lofore nt+ tompted. The principle is adopted of using compreased ulr to exclude the water, evaporate tho moisture of tho allt so that tho latter, by be- ‘ng thua dried, can be easily handlod at tho heading, and {a rendored less Hable to cave in, and to ald In upholding the iron and brick-work after thoy ure placed in position, Col, Haskina has secured a patent in connection with tho up- pleation of this principle, under which the tun- neling {s belng done. The land tn thisvicinity is lurgely of vinders, which have been fitted in, and itis 80 porous that when tho tunnel was first commenced there wia a constunt escape of tho alr which wus forced, into the excava- tlon.. This was remedied by burying largo shoota or cnnyus.

Now that the slit hag beon penotrated, this dificulty tw longer oxists, THE PRESSURE OF THK COMPLERSED ALI now used Inthe tunnel is about twenty pounds to the square inch. The two alr compressors are kept ruuning day and night. They pump tho nir into the alr reservoir, which fs of tough holler-iron, oylndricul in shape, and has a diamoter of flyo feot six invhus, A raugo at its silo always Indicates the pressure of tho ulr in tho tunnel. From tho reservoir tho alr is pumped into the tunonet through tho aire lock, Upon this supply of puro alr, and nm careful regulation of its pressure, tho Ives of the workmen and the success of tho work dopond, and a constant eyo is kept upon the movemonta of the guuge-tinger ag it bale unocs Itself unsteadily over tho dial, ‘The tune nol was gradually pushed downward from tho air-lock until the proper level was reachod, In- stead of being commenced at the bottom of the shaft and continuod on tho required loyel.
