hudson River Tunnel.

I MY. Herald
General Smith, the engineer in charge Of
the excavations for the Hudson river tunnel
hiss Just tested the work already completed
Atthe commencement of the work, while the
tunnel was being excsvated through made
ground, consisting largely of cinders, il was
found impossible to msinlain the
required pressure IS the air
escaped through the loose mas
serisl, but as the tunnel was advanced it was
thought that the closely packed silt would be-
funelent 10 retain the air and that there was
no chance of its escaping. This proved to DO
SO IS long as the air was kept at pressure of
70 pounds to the square inch. With that
pressure the moisture oozed throughin drops,
and the pumps were always able to carry it
OH. "a Thursday afternoon General Smith
determined to test the power of resistance
OF The brick work 80 that the air
pressure in the tunnel could DO reduced and
the consequent fatigue to the men working
in the compressed air obviated "a far as
possible. The men were ordered out Of the
works at half~psst two p. M, and immedi.
ately the engines were Stacked up and the
pressure OF air reduced 10 twenty pounds
per square inch. Almost as soon as the high
pressure WAS taken off the silt began 10
squeeze in slowly between the bricks at the
head of the south tunnel. The leakage f air
increased to greater extent than the engi-
neerhad calculated on. the everything silt being
much more porous than that encountered at
the first part Of the works, and the water be-
gan to pour 10. As the ar measure was re-.
duced still further the silt began TO squeeze
through the intersiicss OF the new brick
work until 1t reached the hard finished bricl,
where 1t stopped. The silt that had squeezed
In will have to be excavsted, and this will
cause some delay. AS soon as the effect of
the reduced pressure became apparent Gen.
eral SIN tn ordered the full pressure of TWEEN.
six pounds per square inch to be put on
again or d the leakage IVES stopped at once.
AS taken from the heading the silt is pud-
died with clear water pumped in from q
stand pipe in the shaft at the mouth of the
tunnel, and is then forced out through a six
inch pipe by the air pressure in the tunnel.
As the silt is removed from the headings the
ion plates are put in position. The plates
q % quarter of an inch thick and two feet
sl1 inches wide Some OF them are six feet
and some three feet long, and each has a
two and half inch aange all around it,
through which tits bolted to the plates on sli
tour sides. Additional strength is given
by breaking the joints as the different sec
tlons are bolted together. Inside this outer
shell is wall of hard burned bricks, laid in
cement. The wall, or lining, is two feet
thick, and extending completely around the
interior, presents the form Of an arch against
outside pressue, either vertical or lateral.
The present flow of silt will not delay work
more than forty-eight hours.

A villain Under Arrest

Richmond, Va, August 1S.-The chief Of
police of Richmond received telegram from
Lynn this morning informing him OF the ar
rest in that city of Thomas G. Marvin, who
last month, by false representations betrayed
Miss Lucie Turpen, a highly connected young
lady Of this city into marriage, and then de-
serted her at Albion, N. Y. He also obtains
ed about $500 from the First National bank
of Richmond by means of a
false draft on Chicsgo balk. He
is reported in custody at Lynn, Mass,
awaiting a requisition from the governor,
which will be forwarded this evening. The
feeling against Marvin at tho time his base
operations wero made public was intense,
many persons expressing the opinion that he
should be summarily dealt with. Some even
went 80 lar as TO express willingness TO at
tempt to take the law in their own hands and
put an end 10 his career
