The Fire in the Cincinnati southern Tun-

mel May Burn for Months,
CINCINNATI, February 29,-Tunnel No
II, on the Cincinnati Southern road,
near sunburt, Tenn, is still burning,
The fire was caused by a freight train
collision, by which a tank containing
2, 800 gallons Of oil was broken and set
a fire. Loud explosions are heard every
few minutes, indicating that the lime
stone, coal and woodwork inside the
tunnel are combining with the flames TO
make the tunnel a wreck,
There Is little hope Of spbduing the
flames, for 1t is evident that two twelve
inch coal veins are burning, and may
continue to do SO for months, The idea
Is TO flood the tunnel, Both ends have
been damned up, and two large streams
OF water have been turned inside. This
water may fill the tunnel In q week,
The tunnel is higher In the middle than
at the ends, and the coal veins are at the
high point, SO that the water will hardly
reach them. ifthis fails an attempt will
be made to smother the flames by seal
ing the ends OF the tunnel to make It
aiF.tight.
Thousands OF dollars have been lost In
passenger and freight business, and q
l,95O.foot tunnel viii have TO be rebuilt,
The master car builder Of the road says
the loss will not bo less than $3.50 900,
while General Road Master Mullane says
II will amount To much more,
