WORK on THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL.
Dr. G. II. Metcalf the surgeon in charge of the
Hudson River Tunnel, said yesterday to a tribune
reporter that not single mans life had been lost
while engaged at the work since the great accident
of July 1850. Those In charge OF the construction
of the tunnel say that the Work Is being pushed
forward with great rapidlty. They declare their
purpose to show the advantage of having such
great work done by private enterprise rather than
by public officials by running trains OF cars under
the Hudson River before the first tram passes over
the Brooklyn Bridge
The second section Of ten feet of the tunnel on the
New York side will be completed to day. The ma
sons began their work yesterday morning after the
eXcavatlug had been done, and when they nave
completed their labOTs the tunnel Will be Completed
for more than twenty twO feet from the New-YOrk
shore The cutting through of the sides of the great
caisson, at depth OF over sixty feet beneath the
surface OF the river, has been accomplished
slowly and cautiously. HE engineers
say that the greatest difficulties have now been
overcome and that the rest of the work will be
paratively easy. The work on the New-JeTsey side
Is being pushed forward with gTeatrapIdity. Within
the last two months 2lU feet of tunnel nave been
built and ii is said that the material becomes more
favorable for rapid aud successful construction
with every foot of advance. About 400 workmen
are now employed at both ends Every endeavOr
Is made to have the workmen as comfortable pos
sible Regulations OF a sanitary nature are made
and enforced Experiments 10 lessen the lncOnve-
nence of tine smoke from candles are now in prog
ress, with a far prospect, Dr. MetcaH Thinks of
Saccess.
