An engine and train passed through the gress

Railway IN six minutes, at noon to-day. The party
making the trial trip consisted Of the 0n1cers OF the
company the contractors and others engaged In
It's construction The length OF the tunnel Is 47O
feet and Its dimensions 20 feet broad by q feet high
Work on the approaches was commenced December
1, 1868, and on the tunnel proper in March OF
the following year. and progressed quite rapidly
the eastern SIDE from the start On the western
side but little progress was made until last year.
The material found was rock, some considerable
black slate and rock called Shawangunk grit
which was intensely hard.
The number OF accidents, considering the length
OF the tunnel ana the fact that nitrogycerine ana
dualin nave almost exclusively been used for
blasting has been extremely small. The compile
ton OF this great work promises much for Delaware
and sullivan counties, u 1t lets their produce
without climbing the mountains, and with this
event comes the opening OF thirty.ve miles OF ad-
diuonal railroad by the Midland Railroad, which 10

prietor Would Rather Go Up In BALBOA
Than Allow Him to Eat Drink ON the
Premises.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. "a, 1872.
The city OF st Louis ID Just now greatly exercised
over the refusal OF the proprietor OF the Planters
Hotel to entertain or harbOr Fred Douglass, the
celebrated c0lored orator and abollu0nist Mr..
Douglass came to the hotel yesterday and entered
his name the register, the any guest, and
shortly afterwards came ana said he would ike some
dinner. The Clerk remarked, In substance, that he
he could get any dlnner there and then pointed to
the book where his name mad been erased.
''What Is the meaning or this outragef" sterny
asked the old man. pulling Indignantly at his dis
tinQme gray mustache.
'Tt means simply this-that the Planters House
don't keep niggers you want anything you Will
have to 90 elsewhere" SAID the Intelligent clerk.
Here the crowd thckened, and rush was made
towards the book 10 see the name or the man VINO
was the subject OF the row. Each man as he saw
the name either gasped approval or grunted dts
the books simply the name, "Fred Douglass, Wash
lngtOn, ID. c."
This name seemed to be enough to damn the man
In the estimation OF nine out Of ten who read and
sympatnlZed with the clerk.
Mr.. Douglass made q short speech, In which he
denounced In very indignant terms the procedure.
He said he had travelled over all the civilized
countries OF Europe; had been received by the
highest, and nowhere had he been where he had
met with such shameful treatment.
The crowd listened and sneered and laughed,
when Mr.. Douglass retired to ind quarters else.
