iniendeut,
New YoRE, July 2l.-The following is
the official report of the Hudson River
Tunnel Company, through engineers
Sheilman and Brush. This morning
about 1880, while men were changing
shafts, that portion of the iron roof ad-
joining the shalt OF the connecting cham
ber between the two tunnels and the
sinking shaft, fell in. Twenty.eight men
were in the tunnel at the time, OF whom
eight escaped through the air lock and
twenty were killed. The accident oc-
Cured at the connection OF the iron plates
with the brick wall OF the working shaft
which, during the changing Of shafts, was
probably not watched blythe men as closely
as It should have been, and the compressed
air allowed TO escape. This compressed
air is relied upon to assist in supporting
the roof which was also sustained by
strong timber bracing, and the escape OF
air has always been prevented by stopping
any leaks with waste. As the roof fell the
plate closed the door OF the air lock into
the tunnel, and the water rising rapidly,
CUT OFF THE ESCAPE OF TWENTY MRN,
who were killed. The building Of this
connecting chamber. though difficult
piece OF work, progressed until now. The
roof was all in position and securely
bolted, and the connection Of the iron
plates with the shalt was being made at
the time OF the accident. Work will be
prosecuted night and day with all the
men that can beadvantageously employed
until the bodies are recovered, which will
probably take about three days. Theacci-
dent will probably delay work for about
thraa waeka

The engineers and officials say that 1t Is
impossible for any Of the, imprisoned
workmen 10 be alive, as the water within
the whole length OF the tunnel is up to
the roof and even above 1t. The laborers
who are making the excavation west OF the
shalt will, however, not,Gease their labors
to get at where the bodies are supposed to
be, but il is impossible TO force any air in
to air, as all Of which has been forced In
so far has escaped through the shaft, in
which 1t has made water leap up two or
three feet above the surface. 1t Is feared
this afternoon that only seven men, in.
stead OF eight have been saved, as one
named Thomas Orimmins, who was re-
ported by one Of the workingmen to
have escaped is now said to be missing.

u. of the Disaster. -' .Iyg
New York, July 2l.-Thos. Van Most,
rand, one OF the rescued men, said: The
main shaft is sixty feet deep, and from the
bottom Of this shaft the entrance to the
tunnel is effected through cylindrical
barrel six feet in diameter and fourteen
feet in length. This is called an air'lock
and serves 10 preserve the density OF the
atmosphere Of the tunnel, which in turn
is secured by the forcing OF air through
the pipes from the pumps. There is a
door in each end OF the air-lock. They
both open inward. At each side Of the
doors are round windows Of thick glass,
through which from the outside OF the
air.lock view can be gained OF the work
and the workmen inside the tunnel.
There were twenty.eight men at work In
the tunnel. They went on at II last night
for an eight hours shit. was at work
near the east end OF the lock, and in the
west end Of the tunnel. 1t was at about
4:30 o'clock that heard the bolts snap
and the braces give way, at the same time
I felt rush OF air in my face. started
back with seven OF the men who were
near me, and ran into the lock. The air
pressure crowded the door shut at the
east end. At first it was block
ed by joists which we pulled out
and then the door slammed to.
Through the dead-eyes We could see men
inside the tunnel. The water was fast
rushing in. Peter Woodland, Assistant
Superintendent, stood at the door OF the
outside lock, which was stationary. 1t
would not move with US without knock
ing out the dead eyes. This would be IA
tai TO the men outside. as the water would
rush in and drown the men in an instant.
Woodland knew this, but stood at the
door, his face was ghastly white, and he

knew it was death to us ell II did not do
SO, and Iobeyed the order. As the glass

out in the main shaft, leaving the men to

 What words can picture forth the beauty of Clevelands Cabinet Wyandot and 1 other caverns may have galleries like it in 1 in extent or symmetry. We loitered beneath spotless arches of fifty feet span, where the fancy is at once enlivened and bewildered by
 mimcry of every flower that grows in the garden, forest or prairie, from the modest | daisy to the Haunting helanthus.
 Select for examination a single one of these enchanting blossoms, ''oulopholites" l of the minera1ogist. Consider the charms of this queenly rose that has unfolded it's
 petals in Mary's Bower. From central | stem gracefully curl countless crystals fbrous and pellucid each tiny crystal is in itself study; each fascicle of curved prisms is wonderful; and the whole creation is a | miracle of beauty.
 Now imagine this mimic flower multiplied from one to hundred, a thousand, amyriad! | Move down the dazzling vista, as if in a dream of Elysium,-not for few yards, or | rods, but for too0 mules. All is virgin white, l except here and there 8 little patch of gray 1 limestone, or a spot bronzed by some met allie stain, or, again, as we purposely vary
 the lovely monotony by burning colored | lights. Midway is a great cross overhead, l formed by the natural grouping of stone
  | garlands, embellish nearly every foot of the ceiling and walls; while the very soil sparkles
 with trodden jewels. The pendulous fringes
 of the night blooming cereus are rivaled by
 the snowy plumes that float from rifts and crevices, forever safe from the whitening | glare of daylight. Clumps of lilies, pale
 pansies, blanched tulips, dropping fuchsias,
 sprays of asters, spikes of tuberoses, wax
 leaved magnoias,-but why exhaust the botanical catalogue? The fancy finds every | gem of the greenhouse and parterre in this
 crystalline conservatory. Earlier visitors
 in 1855) describe the long sprays like stalks
 of celery, running vines, and branches of a
 chandelier but it has been impossible to
 guard such exquisite formations from covet-
 ous fingers. Happily the subtle forces of
 nature are still at work, slowly replacing by fresh productions what has gone to the
 mineralogist's cabinet or the amateurs | etaQere.
