is not positively known who fired the tunnel
at Bristol, on the Baltimore 81 Ohio road, yet
1t is supposed it was done by the strikers.
The theory is an attempt was made to
destroy the tunnel, to prevent the
shipment OF coal over the road
from the syndicate mines. The de-
struction of the tunnel would cut off Shawnee,
Dickinson and McCuneville, where work has
been steady all summer and to the present
time. Fifty feet more Of the tunnel caved in
to-day, and the fremen we're withdrawn, as
they could 90 no good. 1t is thought it will
have to burn out. Two more boxes Of guns
were sent from Pittsburg, and arrived at
Newark to day, directed to James O'Donnell,
who is under arrest at that place for aiding
and abetting the strikers in the destruction
OF property and attempts against life.
