WORK ON THE TUNNEL.
Colonel Brooks Talks About the 1nten-
lions of tho Company.

Work on that portion of the Eighth
street tunnel which caved in few days
ago has SO far progressed as satisfactorily
as possible under the circumstances. Yes
terday the railroad company had about fifty
hands at work. and the sink was partially
filled with dirt. That portion of the
street through which the sewer ran was
dug out about ten feet in order that the
temporary connection could be made with
the pipe and the water be carried to Its
proper outlet.
Operations we're going on in that portion
of the tunnel which stands also. The
trouble there Is that the water which has
accumulated must be let out. Trenches
are being made for that purpose.
Colonel Brooks, the engineer OF the com
pany, stated to q DISPATCH reporter last
night that As, 0O0 feet Of timber, 3x6 inches,
had been ordered for bracing the tunnel as
il stands In order TO connect these tim
beers it will require about 1000 iron bolts.
and these latter have also been contracted
for. says the engineer. He says just as
soon as these materials can be obtained ne
will begin his interior work.
Colonel Brooks talked about how the
company intended walling the excavation,
and claimed that there would be no danger
if thousand feet of earth were above 1t
when it had been fixed his way.
