MAJOR PHlPPS' PECULATIDN.
y boat $4,000 Worth OF groceries,. IL
Goods and Notions Found In His House

About $4,000 Worth OF GrOceries. Dry
Goods and Notions Found In His House.
When Major Phipps retired from the
management of the almshOuse, Philadel-
delphia, it is wonder that lie left even
the building behind him. Already about
SIC, 600 worth Of goods stolen from the in
stitution have been recovered, and the
search has hardly begun. Other houses
besides tho one at 3.419 Walnut street,
which the major had fitted up for his own
used, will bc searched Detective
Miller and members Of the Committee
Of One Hundred again went through the
majors house, and, as result, five
wagon loads of goods were sent back to
the almshouse. They found sugar and
lard by the barrel, 200 jars Of preserves,
French brandy, wine, champagne, bay
rum, boxes Of macarcni, pepper and cinna-
mon. bottles Of various essences, jars of
pickles and other articles-enOugh to start
a first class grocery store. They also found
handkerchicfs, fine tooth cOmbe, coarse
combs, brushes, boxes of rubber bands,
scrub brushes by the dozen, Turkish
towels, fine sheeting, muslin, gingham,
crash, napkins, piano covers, stationary of
all sorts, cutlery, cooking utensils, water
coolers, spoons, rolls of netting and a
miscellaneous lot of towels, pieces of
calico, carpet, napkins, crash and kitchen
and dining room linen Of all kinds. In
the second. story back room, which Mr..
Phipps occupied for his private business,
Il locked desk was found aud opened. In
one drawer were a number Of letters ad-
dress to Mrs. Phipps by the major, but in
the second drawer were mess of mutt
lated due bills, in sums ranging from $40
to $500, tho sum total being roughly esti.
mated at $3.50. 900, and the time covered
dated from the majors induction into
Office. These bills had been given by the
major for cash borro we'd or for supplies
purchased, and in a majority of instances
the names of those in whose favor they
were drawn had been erased OF. cut out.
1t was in this private room that SO large a
quantity of stolen supplies were found to-
day.
Phipps's downfall is traced back to 1873,
when it was discovered by tho cOmptrOl-
Ter that ho had not made any return of
house receipts to the city treasury for sev-
cral years. This sum, $36, 900, he paid
over after several months delay, having
been compelled to borrow it from contrac-
tors and others. This money, it was said
by some of the guardians, was used in an
important political campaign. Others
said it was used to run the house, but the
true inwardness was never discovered.
An investigation is now being made on
that point. Phipps is still missing, and
the detectives are searching everywhere.
Chief of Police Givin is confident he will
bc captured before long.

The Channel Tunnel Between England
and France.

The total length of the seven-foOt
| gallery to test the practicability of a
channel, commenced at Abbot's Cliff,
now extends to upwards of a mile. Since
this heading was commenced, some
five or six months ago, the progress
made has been of the most satisfactory
character, and continues to improve. a
uniform rate of boring is maintained,
and the work is materially assisted from
the fact that there is an entire absence
of water, the possible p~ercolation of
which it was feared would greatly inn
pede the progress of the operations. The
debris from the heading is at present re-
moved in trollies connected with
machinery at the top of the shaft, but
in order to expedite the work a conn.,
pressed air engine is about to be intro
duced into the cutting. A double set of
rails is laid in the heading, so that no
time is lost in the conveying OF the
%trOllies to and from the shaft. 'Every-
thing is done by the engineers which Is
at all likely to economic time. No.
heading, at Abbot's Cliff, which Is for
the present abandoned, is full of water;
but this could be easily pumped out if
required. With regard to No. 5 shaft,
which is being sunk at the eastern end
of the Shakespeare's Cliff Tunnel onthe
Southeastern Railway, the work is not
progressing quite so satisfactorily. The
water finds its way into the shaft, both
from the sea and from the springs, to
such an extent as to prevent the
miners carrying on their work for the
present. 1t is found impossible to keep
the water under with the engines and
pumps now in use. 1t has been decided
to replace them by more powerful
machinery. An attempt will probably
be made to divert the springs. The,
gray chalk through which the W
foot gallery is being driven is a very
solid substance. Asst comes away from
the face of the heading it is in large
flakes. The possession of q piece is re-
garded as a great novelty, and the
miners find a ready market for any they
may happen to have. The boring is
now proceeding under the sea in the d.
rection of the Admiralty Pier at Dover.
