Panic And

Horror

New York, July 16.

That disaster occurred in the Melbourne Street tunnel of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Line. The New York subway system of hundreds of miles of tunnels is the largest in the country. Subway accidents have been few considering the tremen- dous underground traffic.
