HORROR.
A WHITE RENEGADE CAPTURED.

iHERMosILLo, Ari., April ia detach-
ment of troops which followed the Apaches
from the southeast of Ures; had several
running fights with the Indians from Ures
to Gamble. They claimed to have kiIled
nearly the whole band. After losing the
trail of the balance, some of the soldiers
visited Gamble, where a soldier who was
in the campaign last year recognized
white man who was with the Indians at
that time, acting as chief in one of the
fights. This soldier was wounded and left
on the field for dead, but was conscious.
From his description of the Apache
chief, it was thought to be
Streicter, formerly United States agent, a
most desperate character, who for more
than two years has been the leader of
band of Apaches. His capture proves he
was not mistaken in the man. Gov

BON AIR ~COAL-FiELDS.
The linn and Manchester Rail-
rOsd TO be Exteaded 10 Them.

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, August 14-In a converss-
ton with President James d. Porter to-day,
he told me that il had Just been decided TO
make a still further extension of the McMinn-
vile and Manchester railroad, a brat Gu of The
Nashville, Chattanooga aud st. Louis railway,
10 the Bon Air coal-6elds, over five miles dis
tantfeom Sparta. He said that the coal in that
region of the State was equal TO any coke
making coal In Tennessee. Ii was a hard
coal and made strong coke, strong enough, in
fact, 10 bear the pressure of the ore in any
blast furnace without crushing. He thought
1t must come into very extensive Use, and all
il had needed was a railroad 10 develop il.
The extension Of the road to these fields
would be especially bent fetal TO Nashville,
as il would furnish chesper CO... than had
ever been heretofore sold here.
A surveyor had already been N truc,ed to
survey the route, and he would start 10 WORK
upon it Immediately. 1t would no, require
a great while to decide upon the line.
The extension Of this read to The Bon All
to2l-6elds would doubtless be the means oil
raising from its aches the BIN Air Spring;

does not hesitate; art and future fame 60 10

mass of fiction, pleasant enough, but pleasant
for the day only. The searching study, the
patient work which mold q MASTERPIECES de-
mand time, and perhaps insure poverty-so
what is the successful novelist to do? We
do not say that Mr.. Willism Black deliber-
ately chooses 10 work faster than his excel

suggest to him that fewer novels might mean
for him better ones. An interval of rest and

D THE RryER.

Great a feat as was that of building the
bridge over the East river at New York, an
other fully its equal is carrying on upon the
opposite side Of the island. As the spectator
gazes across from the bank OF the North
river, at some distance above the Battery, and
looks across to Jersey City, he sees that the
distance is great. If he step into a boat and
cross, he finds it to be greater than he had
estimated. Yet under every foot of the bot
tom of the river two tunnel-ways are under
construction, by one of which railway trains
will pass from Jersey City to New York, and
by the other from New York to Jersey
City. No wagon-road will be there,
but there will be low fat-cars, upon
which wagons with their loads will be
crossed. The width of the river where
tunneled is 5400 feet between the bulkheads;
the caissons at the starting point are sixty
feet back. and the extreme tunnel, independ-
emit OF he approaches, will be something
over a mile in length. Each tunnel will be
seventeen feet wide and seventeen feet high
inside. As much of the material cut through
h Of comparative slight consisteney-silt
and some OF 1t Of no consistency at all-sand,
how is the water kept out as the digging and
srching goes on? If an inverted tumbler is
put into water the water enters it only q lit
tie way; the air inside is compressed, and 50
resists the entrance of the water. The tun-
mel ia entered by means of air locke, a con-
trivance by which persons go in and out
without allowing the air to pass 10 any
great extent, as in the North there
are doors to houses by which people can
go in and out without admitting the cold
air OF these winterly regions. This 10 done
BY means Of double doors fitting air tight,
one OF which is closed before the other is
opened. A steam engine pumps air within
the tunnel, and more of it as the yielding
earth cut through requires. This air pushes
against the earth and the water it supports,
as the water in the bow is pushed against by
the air in the tumbler. But here comes an
Inconvenience -on entering the tunnel the
air presses upon the person vita three times
the force the air in the street does. The con-
sequence lie a feeling of tightness about the
ears, and quite frequently blood gushes from
the nose and cara. This is because the air
within the substance Of the body has not a
pressure equal to the air 10 the tunnel.
When the pressure beco mes painful, the
remedy is 10 close the mouth and
nostrils by pressing them with the fingers
then blowiDg air out of the ears. This
is a thing many people are not aware
they can do, but it can be learned. Many
workmen cannot take employment in tn,
tunnel because the pressure is more thar
they can bear; they who can soon become
habituated to the change, and do not fee
much Inconvenience. As the soil is dug
support made OF boiler-iron is thrust for
ward; then q thick brick-work arch is bull
up, and that piece is safe. So goes on tn
strange progress, and if all continues to z
on we'll the work will be done in Hftee
months. But in such circumstances VIII

GERMAN rEsY

A Washington dispatch to the New York

United States Is a pow-rfe-s uztien--Onl The
Fourth of July, when the other legations
hoisted their flags in the customary manner

if the usual courtesy was neglected he should
consider 1t as an insult to himself, and at
once make 1t a personal matter. No ansUer
to the note was returned bat the flag was put
up, and it is understood that our government
commended Minister Morgan's spirited coz
duci. This disrespect on the part Of the
German Minister toward a country where 90
many Germans reside was not amiable, TO
put it respectfully, but lie Of a piece with
