Hsosac Tunnel 70 sse Opened New. I.


The Lieutenant Governor and Council
returned to Boston on Welnesiay from An
Inspection of the Hoosac Tunnel anc have
closed contract with the pennsslrania
Steel Raj! Company for furnishing the
rails for the tunnel, to be delivered on or
before the lst Of October The proposals
for the additiona! brick arch were opened
by the Tannel Committee at the State
House Thursday, and the Committee will
report to the Council next Tuesday, when
the contract will be awarded. An arrange
ment Is to be made with the contractors
for the arched work near the central shaft,
to permit the running Of one freight aud one
passenger train each way each day. This
work will be protras sted six months, wheu
the tunnel will be entirely done, but Mr..
Walter Stanley gives assurance that the
tannel, so far as his contract is concerned,
exclusive Of the track laying, will ali te
done in about a month, and that We may
surely expect the first train to make its
passage by Nov. |. The blasting is all
done. and the compressors closed mouth
ago at the central shaft, and now the re-
manning work Oh the tunnel is chiefly con-
fined to finishing tie central drain, aud
completing that part of the brick work
which comes under the cor,raet. The

of one place at the vest shaft, where 100
foot block mqst be taken opt, just as soon
AS the passage-way out the west end is
