TRAMCAR BURIED

WITH SEVENTY PASSENGERS IN NEW YORK SUBWAY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, September 22. (Received September 23, at 8.50 a.m.) Some workmen, who were exploding dynamite to remove some rocks in a city subway construction, caused the pavements and sidewalks to cave in; burying a street car with scores of passengers, both women and men, proceeding to work. Heavy flows of water and gas from the shattered mains threatened to drown or suffocate the imprisoned passengers, but the police and firemen entered the hole and rescued 70 persons, badly injured, from the partly-buried car. Seven of them are already dead. [New York has now a system of underground electric tramcars.]
