8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , OCTOBER 22 , 388(5. A PRISON IN THE CAISSON , A Terrible Accident at the New Bridge Nar rowly Averted Yesterday. RESCUED FROM DEATH , How Tlio Cnlmson Sprung a Leak llnllrontl NC\VH A Illcyclc Track Other Iiucnl , A Narrow Uscnpe. Yesterday morning , sliortly after 0 o'clock a leak was sprung In the now cais son now in thu course of erection for tlio Union Pacific bridge , and before it could bo caulked it had filled the shaft up to tlio surface , thus cutting oil' the escape of eight men who were at work on the bed rock belor the bottom of the river. Thu announcement of the accident caused a thrill of horror among the hun dreds of employes on the bridge , and im mediately every precaution was taken to divest it of the startling import which it contained. News of It was Hashed to the ollice of ( ! uo. A. JLederlc , the chief engineer Lln charge of the work , with the result of bringing that gentle man Immediately to the scene. Ills assistant , Mr. Ralph Modjeska , ran with haste to thu headquarters and Informed the higher ofllecrs of the dreadful catas trophe. Dcforo long , however , the news spread with the rapidity of a whirlwind , and hundreds of people ran to the river bank and thu bridge to gain all u the Information that could bo had. At the latter place tlio watchman steadfastly refused to allow any person to cross , and declined to answer any and all questions pro pounded to him concerning the accident. A red flag was placed on the bridge over the pier where the men were entombed , nnd this guided the fuw trains which the preparations for relief .permitted to pass , run SCKNI : The accident occurred in the middle or third pier from the Iowa side. This , liku the others , is a mammoth granite structure , and lias been in course of erec tion for some months back. Its dimen sions are si.xty feet in length by twenty- five feet in width and it weighs thousands of tons. Its surface is now about live fodt above that of the river , and its base , for Home time back has rested on l > cd rock seventy-three feet below the top of the river. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock the first day shift went down through the shaft , into the air lock and thence to the workingcham bnr below , when they immediately com menced the work of slushing and cleans ing tno rock preparatory to tilling tlio appartmciit with concrete which is always done en the completion of a pier. They worked unsuspectingly until ten o'clock when they started to como to the mil-face. Some of tiicin re-entered the airlock and found to their horror that a small stream of water was trickling through a pipe , and told the story that walcr'was in the shall ubovo them. To open the door leading from the lock to the shaft would have let TONS OF Tin : runi ) in upon thorn , so , it is presumed the loaders returned to the chamber inimcdintoly below the lock. There they remained. In this chamber they were safe so long as they could stand the pressure of the air which was absolutely necessary , to keen the water from forcing its way from thu river beneath the cais son , and so long also its the water from above could bit prevented from forcing thu air chamber. But in view of the fact that they nro not allowed to work more than two hours under this pressure , there was scarcely any doubt that the'enforced detention for double that period , would be productive of sorlous results. At thu time of writing , tlio men had been imprisoned for three hours over and above the regular time , and there was then no prob ability of their being early relieved. ' KPVbltTS AT IIEL1EK. As soon as possible after the announce ment I of the accident , Air. Lederlu bent his energies to relieve the impris oned men. Enfriuo 813 was run to the Dior and immediately set to work to ex haust the water from the shaft , but alter working tor an hour it was found that she was inadequate to thu work , and was withdrawn , the distance of tlio water rendering it impossible to work with effect. Darrels were tliun substituted and in this slow and tedious manner , the attempt to allbrd relief was carried , on with indifferent success. At the time mentioned there wns no possibility of ascertaining when the shaft would bo exhausted , especially because the water was running in about us rapidly us thu barrels could draw It up. Tin : CAIJSI : . In conversation with ono of the engi neer force , the accident , as already men tioned , was iiseribcd to a leak , and thu opinion prevailed tlurt , it was located near the air Jock , the tissuru having been caused in thu concrete by either indlll'orout material or work manship. It WIIH so far down , that for BOIIIU time at least , it was thought it would bo beyond the reach of any at- tumptto repair it.mi mi : VICTIMS , The men In the caisson , are in greater pnrt strangers. They are most of them unmarried some of them stopping in the 1Unil's , while several of them re side in this city at thu Union Pacific hotel. Georga Draddon , fore man ; Cmis. Hamilton , M.Vimmor ] , \Yin. Luigldon , ihunes Dewey , Gus Nel son and John Bowman. The banks on uilhur side of the river wore thronged with people , the comminy taking thu precaution to allow no person not engaged in the work to get nearer the uaibson. A 1'iir.fT.nr.NT. An accident similar to the above ( oak place about lifteon years ago when the magnificent bridge at St. Louis was In was In course ol erection. At that tlmo , however , the sciuntillo world know less nbout the budding of caissons tliaivit does at tlio present time , and as a consequence quence , that accident was attended with considerable loss of life , mi : iti > ri'n. The engine already mentioned suc ceeded in ritdticin" tlio watur until the column In thu.halt was about twenty- live fuel in height. It was unable to do any more , and the barrel process failed to oxliaiiit the water as fu : > t as it flowed in through the leak. To equip an engine with power nocosMiry to empty thu shaft would renuiro thu labor of hours , and that would surety result in thu death of the men below , Finallv , the expedient was suggested of allowing the water to csiapu through thu air-lock to thu cham ber below. It wns no sooner suggested than two men volunteered to undertake the feat. This requiuul u diving through the tun feet of water which lay at thu bottom tom of Iho shaft and filled the first apart ment of tlio air look. This was done with considerable duringund skill hyena of thu hands , an intrepid and brainy lad nallied Mitch Ambrnso. He was followed by another , Iko Itroiitun. Auibrqso descended through the chilling waters which at times enveloped him , darted iuto the lir t uparliiK'ut of thu lock uud dragged Dronton after him. Doth fliif fcred from thu cold , fiandnaily succeeded in closing tlio apartment door , though the chamber was full of water. They then opened lha equalizing valve , which allowed the compressed air from below to enter the anartmcnt in which they stood until the iircs.sure on either side of thu door was the same. The weight of the water in the lirH apart ment then caused the door leading to the compartment , where the men were work ing , to swing easily upon its hinges , and thus descend to the bed-rock. In this way about ono-lonth of the watcrin the shaft was drawn ofT. The last mentioned door was then closed nnd the process just mentioned was reversed , and another tenth was drawn away. This was continued until the shaft was pructicallv exhausted. The men wcro thus enabled to come out of their subter ranean prison. Nearly all of them stood their enforced detention in an heroic manner , but two of them. Gus Nelson and John Uownlun , Wove badly all'ected. One of the arms of each a s paraly/.ed , while other parts of the body wcro racked with pains. A Dr.r. reporter conversed wills Grorgo Braddcn , the foreman of tlio gang , who seemed to feel that ho had had a narrow e capc. "I tried to get out1 ho said , "but when I found that I couldn't , I con cluded that something was wrong. I felt that the water mnft have gotten into the shaft , or that something had fallen into itto stop it up. Dili I knew that the men up above uould do their best to help us , so 1 kept those ot the gang below at work. Yes , of course they noticed that they were longer than usual down below , but thought that the I'elioving shift were delayed and did not make a fuss about it , because , sometimes when they are nt work only an hour they think they have been th'-ro ' twice tl'ut length of time. I was satisfied that if 1 died I'd have a collin that cost iflO.OOO , and that's more than I'll ' pay for one up hero. " When the men ramo tothn surface , Dr. Galbruith , thu Union Pacific surgeon , was on hand , and had made provisions to attend to them such as their circum stances might require. ASlUSK.niSNTS. The Woman llntcr- John T. Raymond's now play , "Tho Woman Hntor , " which will bu presented at Doyd's opera house to night , for the first time in Omaha , is one of the greatest successes of the great comedian's life The Chicaho New says : "In the delineation of a nervous , middle aged , blundering good nuturcd man , Air. John T. Raymond has no equal on the stage , and when ho undertakes a part contain ing these characteristics he makes a suc cess. Mr. Lloyd , who wrote "For Con gress , " has supplied him with a charac ter after his own heart in the play "Tho Woman Hater. " It is in four acts , and in construction resembles in no small de gree tlio current style of German comedy.

DAnnother meeting of the monied men of Omaha was held last evening at the PaNton , in response to an in vitation or call issued by several wealthy gentlemen. The ccnrfeoncco was strictly "on the buict , " and may re sult in big things. A gentlenianQwcll posted on all'airs said yesterday : "Tlia road is going to bo built yet ; something is going to como of that meeting to-night. " Freight Commissioner Griliiths is not feeling despondent over the prospects of the Omaha & Northern , though he would like to have things pushed more rapidly than at present. Speaking of the DEE'S interview with him yesterday , he said : "You misquoted mo in making mo say that President Hughitt of the North western was a sharper. I think ho is an accomplished gentleman and a good railroad ollicial. Wo would do exactly as lie is doing wore wo in his place. At the same time I insist upon it that he is deluding thoOmuhu people. " THE NEW' nmi.niNG. Yesterday mqrningThos.MJOrr , of the Union Pacific signed the requisition for material to be used in the construction of the Mansard roof for the headquarters building Work will bo commenced at once ; and will probably bo completed within two months. This will make the headquarters building live stories in height , spacious , airy and well venti lated. It will be one of the handsomest structures of this kind in tlio county. MOItH KltEHillT CAHS. The wonderful increase in the freight business of Iho Union Pacific lias caused a demand for moro freight cars. A con tract for 700 cars , to bo completed within tlio next few weeks , is now being executed. Contracts for 500 more are to bo let next week This will increase the number by 1,200 cars , and it is thought that the pressure will bo temporarily relieved. A railroad elli cial in speaking of the matter yesterday said that all the other Iowa lines wore similarly distressed for lack of freight cars. H. & M. srATTr.its. "There is no truth in the rumor that the D. & M. is surveying for an air line from Omaha to Deadwood , " said General Manager Holdrodgo of Unit road yesterday , "At least if any such thing is contemplated , 1 haven't hoard of it.
