I - v Jolin Levisky, a Hungarian, John W. Hangon and Abijali Riggs were injured yesterday iu the cave-in of a portion of a cistern which they aro building at the new plant being erect ed in Buckingham avenue for the Chemical works. The acccident occnrrod at 4 o'clock. Levisky is in the city hospital and the other two men aro cut and scratched in soveral places but not enougli to confino them to their homes. The cistern is eight feet long, ten feet high and twelve feet wide. It has been building for three weeks and is being done in sections ot ten or twelve feet. The part which caved iu was near the end. The top of the cistern is curved and the masonry is built over false work known as “centre.” It wus in moving this centre, 8x12 and weight 5b0 pounds, that the accident happened. Eight men were engaged. When the braces were knocked out the center came down too suddenly and the mason work was unable to stand the strain of its own weight. It fell and about two tons of iron, mortar bricks and the heavy centre fell. Riggs and the Hungarian were directly under it and Riggs, seeing that his companion was in a tighter place than he, attempted to hold the centre np. This was im possible and he narrowly escaped be ing crushed under the wreckage. Tho Hungarian could not get out and the whole mass covered him. His screamB were so agonizing that it was thought he was dying. Men tore away the bricks with their hands. The man was taken out bleeding from cuts in the head and shoulder. The Raritan Copper Works ambulance was called and the man was taken to the hospital. Now he is doing well. None of his injuries are serious. The weight of the falling mass was increased by an enormous iron cap which has been placed on the manhole opening. The cistern has two of these and one was at this place. The other five mon got out from under the mass before it fell and were unhurt. /DEFEATED THE SENIORS. Froshven and Junior Basket Ball Team Happy Over Their Victory.

The rails have not been laid on B dock yet but it is ; likely they will be soon. A delay was caused by the frogs not arriving.

Photographic Studio.. Evjrythlnp in Portrait, Landscape and Interior Fhnograpby. P.O. Building. Perth Amboy, N.J # r Yesterday afternoon the authorities at the Centrnl freight station notified Officer Wood that there was a large amount of nitro-glycerine at their office and they feared an accident if it was not removed at once. The police cannot act upon the matter as Chief nnrke says that as anything affecting the lives or safety of the people from an agency which is not human, comes under the Board of , Health’s jurisdiction and that as a t menace they should take steps to re- , move it. Dr. W. E. Ramsay says the , matter does not affect the Board ot Health. Who is to dispose of the , matter, furnished food for mnch thought. There are four cases of the nitro glycerine, fifty pounds each. This makes a total of 200 pounds of an ex plosive ten times as powerful as , dynamite and three quarters of a *" pound of dynamite will blow up three tons of solid rock. What will happen if it goes off is worrying the officials of the freight station. John H. Gregory had the stuff taken to the station Monday. He had sold it to a New Y’ork man and wanted it shipped by freight. The boxes have , each a little printing on an end tell* £ inn the nature of the contents. When the freight men read these notices ^ they held fthe packages until”word could be received from the General , Traffic Agent at Jersey City. They consented to hold the stuff until ad £ vice was received from headquarters. , Headquarters refused to have the explosive taken over the road. Mr. Gregory was notified and requested to remove it. He refused, saying he had sold it to another mao. This morn- j ing Mr. Gregory went to New York, j It is thought he may have gone to - untangle things. Just how long the . stnff will stny at the Central station is worrying the men there. If that ^ two hundred pounds comes in violent contact with something else, Perth ^ Amboy will think that the dynamite ^ boat Vesuvius had thrown one of her projectiles into the city. Nitro is queer stuff. Unconfined it will burn without causing nny more mischief ^ than so much paper, but put it in a tight can and strike it hard enough and there will be trouble. TO ORGANIZE TURN VERIN. I - s Movement on Foot to Establish One Here in the Near Future. t - 1 Plans are being completed to start a t turn verein in this city. E. K.

The turn x verein is devoted entirely to gymnas- a tics and similar exercises including t all sports JMr. Southwick has spoken t 1U " v* K* -- about the matter and they have 1 approved the plan. As soon as enough 8 interest is assured to make a turn verein a success, the organization will take place. In Newark both turn vexeins own well equipped buildings. All interested should see Mr. South wick. More Men Put to Work. There now seems every prospect that the Raritan Copper Works will have plenty of work all winter long.
