SKowHEGAN, Dec 27.-The trial of Joseph
Henderson for murder commenced this morn
ing before Judge Barrows. The testimony
offered by the government showed that Hen
derson went to the house of one Moore at
Moose River Saturday, Sept. oath, and made
an assault on Wellington Mcdaniel, the de-
ceased, inficting wounds from which he sub
sequently died. 1t as claimed in defence
that the assault was unintentional and with no
design to inf1ict injury; that no motive or
malice had been shown and that the prisoner
could not be held for murder.
Attorney General Cleaves began the closing
argument for the State this afternoon and oc-
cupied the attention of the court until adjourn
ment He reminded the jury that for the
second time within a short period of three
months he had been called to this county to
ask that the laws for the protection of life be
enforced, and while it was an unpleasant task
to ask for the conviction of any citizen of SO
high a crime, it could never be done with
greater confidence than in this case. The At
torney General argued with great force that
the evidence given upon the stand disclosed q
most brutal taking of human life; that no ex-
cuse was offered except that given by the
respondent, and urged the jury to see to it that
the laws for the protection of society are en-
forced without favor.
Judge Barrows will charge the jury in the

HISTORY AND COST OF A
TUNNEL.

: HISTORY AND COST OF A
TUNNEL.
The recent opening of the St.
Gothard railway trough the
Alps has moved Consul Byers,
of Zurich, to write a sketch of
the great tunnel. The pass of
that name is over the highest
mountain chain in Europe. The
New York Times condenses
from Mr.. Byers' article the fol-
lowing interesting facts
The old post road, COM
menced in 1907 900 feet above
the sea in places, was Is J feet
wide; it crossed gorges, chung
dizzily to steep mountain sides,
and was rooted over where most
threatened by avalanches.
When the first railway was
opened, in 1916, from Baden to
Zurich, it was proposed to ask
concessions to enable the COM
pany to attack one of the high
passes, and in 1868 union or
society for the purpose was eff
fected, upon the basis of an es
timated cost of $37, 10000 In
December, 1871, the st. Goth
ard railway company was Or
ganized, Sc, 100000 stock and
$13, 600, 900 of bonds We're is
sued, a contract was made call
ing for completion in 8 years,
with q forfeit of s 900 for each
additional day and a bonus of
$1, 900 for each day gained upon
the contract time. Work began
in the summer of 1872, and it
was soon discovered that the
estimates were wrong, and that
$50, 100000 would be needed to
carry out the plan a crisis fol-
lowed, and the enterprise seems
to have been saved only by what
had already been invested in it,
leaving no way ont but to push
ahead. The railway proper OK
tends 113 miles from Immense,
in Switzerland, to Ohiasso, in
Italy, and more than one fifth
of the whole line is in tunnels
So in number many of these
are not straight, but actually
spiral, accomplishing heavy as
cents in short distances, and
there are also many lofty VIA
ducts, bridges, and complicated
galleries. The total length of
tunneling is % miles. The
main or great tunnel is9 miles
long, although others, exceeding
5000 feet, might be thought
noticeable elsewhere. The great
tunnel is 26 feet wide and 10
high. The modern boring ma
chimes were worked by air COM
pressed by large turbine wheels
driven by the rapid river Reuss.
The air was carried from the
compressors outside to the
borers within the tunnel in iron
pipes of 6 inches diameter, and
the escaping air served an in
dispensable purpose in ventila-
ton 500, 900 feet of compress
sed air were daily thus delivered
and set free, pushing back and
out of the tunnel the bad ma
tura1 gazes, with those set free
by the dynamite and thrown
off from animals and worl1men.
Fifty drills were worked p; the
usual daily advance was 81 feet,
working from both ends, and
the whole excavation was lined
as fast as made with IL circular
tube of masonry, is to 80 inches
thick. The workmen were
principally Italians, who
worked s hours a day, receiving
60 cents to 81 20 per day [Most-
~ the former), boarding them
selves, and living chiefly on
meal poridge yet most of them
are reported to have saved and
sent home to their families q
