Fourteen Killed

TUK FATAL CA1SS0K. Louisvii.i.e. Ky., Jan. 10.- Tlie most appalling accident known here in many yaars oceurred Thursday evening about 6 o'clock, fourteen Uves being lost. Following is a list of the killed: William K. Haynes, John Knox, James McAdams, Frank Mahar, Pat Naylor, Thomas Ash, Monroe Bowling, Charles Chiles, Thomas Johnson, Joseph Gordon, Hamilton Morris, Thomas Smith, Frank Soaper and Robert Tyler. Tho disaster was caused by the giving away of caisson No. 1 on the new bridge now being constructed between Louisville and Jeffersonville. The caisson was located about 100 yards from the Kentucky shore. The engineer's theory of the accident, which is partially supported by fact9 obtained from the workmen who esoaped, is that the foreman, who, it is alleged, had been drinking, while attempting to reduce the air pressure turned the valve o the supply pipe too far and tho pressure on the interior of the caisson becainé so low that the caisson settled in the mud of its own weight, at the same time admitting the water. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 11. - Xo more bodies have been recovered at the bridge caisson since that of Hamilton Morris was taken from the outer lock of the entrance shaft Friday morning. Two other bodies were visible to the men who brought out the body of Hamilton, packed in the mud and sand and wedged between tho trap doors of the middle lock, where they had met dcath after escaping from the caisson room beneath, and in their struggle to get up the shaft had jammed the traps and prevented their own egress. At 10 o'clock Friday night the air pumps wero shut off and the work of attempting to reach the interior of the caisson through the shafi was abandoned. Another caisson wil. be sunk alongside the old one, and an eSort be made to reach the interior o: the caisson room in which the fourteen workmen are entombed, by working from the new caisson.
