The Hudson River Tunnel.
Nsp York Herald. July II.

The Hudson river tunnel has been
carried O little more than three hundred
feet from the great we'll at the foot Of
Fifteenth street, Jersey City. or about
two hundred feet out under tho river.
Work IL soon to be begun near Morton
street, In this city, whore the New
York well IL to be sunk, and whence the
laborers will bore westward under the
river and eastward 10 0 point near Broad
way. The tunnel company will soon
apply for Q commission to locate the line
OF the tunnel east OF the Morton street
we'll, and not long thereafter the public
will know the precise site OF the New
York entrance. The officers OF the tun-
mel company hope that 1t may DO near
Bleecker street, not far from Broadway.
On the New Jersey side the entrance
will be near the great railroad tunnels
that penetrate Bergen hill.
Only one tunnel has been begun.
There are to be two. Originally IL was
planned to bore one enormous tunnel,
and on both sides Of the river there will
DO one tunnel down to within 200 or 800
feet Of the banks Of the river. Thence
under the river there will DO two tun-
nsls-ons for trains into the city and
one for trains from the city. Each tun-
mel will be about twenty-five feet in
height by twenty feet in width In the
clear and circular in form. Tho outer
shell OF the tunnels Is Of boiler iron,
breaking joints and firmly rivsted TO-
pethsr, and within this iron tube will DO
. two-foot wall of hard burnt brick. laid
in cement. and extending completely
around the interior. presenting the form
OF an arch against any outside pressure,
whether vertical or lateral. The track
for railroad trains will lie about forty
feet below the bed OF the river and near
the New York side, whore the depth OF
the water Is about sixty feet, the traveller
in Q car under the Hudson will be about
q hundred feet below the vessels over
head. The company's officers say that
they can dispatch 400 trains through the
tunnel every twenty.four hours.

A cUsIoUs ACCIDENT.

A peculiar and decidedly sensational
accident happened yesterday to . party
of s~xcursionists from San Francisco who
were ON their way down from Lake
Tahoe to Carson in Q carriage. The
party consisted Of Charles N. Balch.
William Townsend and John Simons,
and the accident occurred in Clear Creek
CANYON, q short distance below where
the lumber aums crosses the road for
the irst time. The Carson appeals &C.
count Of Il says:
They wore driving along leisurely when
Mr.. Bslch saw . rock. which weighed sev-
srsl tons, coming down the steep noun
tain side. He called the attention OF his
comrades TO the fact, and an effort WAS
made to whip the horses up. At the same
instant they saw the danger themseives,
and became 90 frightened that they simply
backed on their launches and snorted with
tsrror. II was only the work OF . few sec.
onds for the rock TO reach the team. and
~ 10 struck them II swept them on the
road into tho stream at the right, and sent
the wagon and Its occupants into the
bushes. The heavy growth Of willows
broke the force Of their fall. and aside
from . few scratches they were u~ninjured.
One OF the horses Was completely oblitsr-
atsd and the driver. Townsend, was Gov
cred with the scattering blood. The
other horse was 30 badly mangled that DO
was shot in the head with rsvolvers 10 re-
lisve him Of his misery. Last night Doc
Benton sent up Q team and brought down
the wagon which was but little damaged.
The fall Of the bowldsr. was probably
caused by the gradual loosening OF the
soil beneath II. The horses belonged 10
the party and were valued ut 5000.

THE paIrcAARu CASE.
Legal Humbsssi.E- Pesussgsisg
1sesies-A Mixed Up Case.


The Carson Times Of last evening
gives the following account Of the pro.
ersss Of this case yesterday:
The Court met at 10 O'Clock today and
thirty-thrss jurors were put through
their PAGES, resulting In the selection OF
Charles Gratz and Cranston Grier. This
filled the panel. but when Mr.. Sober
borg asked II anything had been heard,
or whsther anything had occurred. to
prevent any OF their number from sitting
ON the jury, ]. O. Dorsey. the irst juror
impaneled. arose and stated that he
would not ind . verdict OF murder In
the hrst degree on circumstantial svi-
denoe. He was promptly excused by
the Court upon the peremptory chal-
lengs OF the prosecution, and another
vsnire for twenty-five issued, rsturnsbls
Ut 2 P. n. The psrsmptory challenges
on both sides have been exhausted.
During the reoess Il was the common
talk on the street, that the defendants
counsel had made . erisvous mistake In
asking the question which resulted In
the exclusion OF Mr.. Dorsey from the
jury; but whom the Court reassemblsd at
2 O'Clock, everybody was given an In
sight into Mr.. soderbsrR's little game.
His first move was to ask that the venke,
issued this morning. be quashed. on the
ground that . new jury was about to be
formed, there having been twelve men Al
ready sworn to try the case. n OF whom
had been discharged against the protest OF
the defendant, and that the new venire
bad been prsmatursly made returnable.
That the order Of the Court wa void,
because the jurors were required 10 ap-
pear In court In two hours. and the W.
nire, hs commanded, should have been fled
with the Clerk two days before their sp.
pearanoe. This the Court denied, and
tho counsel then intsrpossd o special
plea Of former soquittal on the ground
that where twelve jurors had been &C
cspted and sworn the defendant had
been put In jeopardy Of bis life, and that
the withdrawal Of n juror against de-
PENDANTS protest operated as . discharge
OF the former jury, and Q new one could
not be impansled. Upon this there was
Q grave consultation between counsel for
tho State, and Q brief consultation OF q
law book by the Judge, who finally an
nounced that he would adjourn court
until tomorrow ct 10 A. N. for the pur-
pose Of hunting up authorities. The
Jurors summoned today were excused
until that hour.
At 10 A. N. today the Judge ovsrruled
the motion Of the defendant to quash
proceedings, etc., a. above. and decided
to proceed with the case. Tho twenty
Ave new jurymen were disposed OF In a.
many minutes and not o juror obtained.
A new venire for o like number was then
issued, returnable ct 8 P. N. today.

General Garfield Wars Lessons.
 EVANSVILLE, July 4.-Yesterday General Garfield participated in the independence celebration here. In his remarks he said he could not fail to respond on such an occa- sion, in sight of suchs monument, to such cause sustained by such men. Applause. ) Two questions had been sweeping through his mind. What did the monument mean :? and what did it teach !? The monument meant world of memories and a world of deeds, a world of tears and a world of glo- ries Thousands knew what it was to offer up their lives to the country and it was no small thing. Suppose the country should say ''I want your life !; come upon this
 platform and offer it" How many would
 walk up And yet 1000, ,OO0 men answered
 yes, and a monument stands wonder to com
 memorate their answer. That is one of the
 meanings. 'sBut, my friends, continued Gar
 field, 'let me try you little further. To
 give up life is much, for it is to give up wife
 and home, child, ambition and all
 almost all. But let me test you
 further. Suppose that lawfully majes-
 tic form should call out and say :-I
 ask you to give up health and drag yourself,
 not dead, but half alive, through a miserable
 existence for long years, until you perish and
 die in your crippled and helpless condition: I
 ask YOU to volunteer to do that, and it calls
 for higher reach of patriotism and self
 rifce; but hundreds of thousands of your
 soldiers did that, and our monument means
 that also'' The General spoke further on
 the subject of the horrors of war, the prison
 houses of the South, etc., eiciting expres-
 sions of sympathy and applause. He then
 referred to the lesson the war had taught not
 of revenge or wrath, but the grand, sweet,
 broad lesson of the immortality of the truth In conclusion he said 'I trust the time is
 not far distant when, under crossed swords and the locked shields of Americans, North and South, our people shall sleep in peace and rise in liberty, love and harmony under
 the union of our flag of Stars and Stripes.

Action on the Irish Relief Bt1l.

LONDON, Duly 4.-The House of Commons went into Committee of the Whole last even- ing on the Irish relief bill. Mir. Parnell moved to authorize the Commissioners of Public Works to advance money within their discretion to boards of guardians in sched- uled districts for outdoor relief, the whole amount so advanced not to exceed e1OO, 900. Mir. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, &C., cepted the motion and the amendment was agreed to. MT. E. J. Synan (Home Rule), member for Limerick county, moved that the rate of interest on such loans shall not exceed one per cent. Mir. Parnell, supporting the motion, exclaimed against the shabby con- duct of the Government, which, he said, had not granted penny from the imperial ex- chequer for the relief of Irish distress The Government opposed MT. Synans mo- tion, which was rejected by vote of 1s4 to 53
