Austin Corbin's Railroad Tunnel Scheme

NEW YORK. Dec. 14-Austin Corbiu, who sew
erai days ago announced his intention to build
a tunnel 20 connect the Long Island railroad
with New York at the foot OF Maiden Lane, and
running under this city to the foot OF Court
Iendt street, has decided to extend the tunnel
under North river to a junction with the Penn
sylvania railroad in Jersey City. The scheme is
20 make q gradual descent from the vicinity of
the Long Island railroad depot in Brooklyn.
Corbin proposes to have several stations in
Brooklyn which can be reached By elevators.
There will also be elevators at the functions
with the elevated roads in New York. The tun-
mel woad be between FIVE and six miles long
and probably sl0,, 00, 900 is too low estimate
of the cost Corpin has failed so far to give
anything definite about the resources of the
new company. Nothing has been heard for
some time OF the operations in Haskin's Hud-
son river tunnel. in which some millions Of Cal
ifoTnia capital have already been sunk.

Unless 80 Per Cent. Of Mills j DIN the As

TAcoxA, Dec. A-[Speciai. l-Shinglemen here

trust at Seattle yesterday in increasing prices
All are interested in the January meeting at
this city, when it is understood the trust Will
dissolve, If it has not then secured 90 per cent
of the shingle mills members OF the associa-
ton. In the event of dissolution. slashing OF
rates will probably be resortcd to the end that
those who do not join may be very sorry for not
doing 30.
Conservative men in the shingle trade do not
contemplate q cutthroat warfare. II Is expected
that the desired 30 per cent of the manufact-
urers can be shown the advisabiiity of joining
be trus; for mutual protection and benefit.
aid one:
About Febr uary the orders for spring stocks
will be placed. II would be too bad TO have
prices cut just at that time. because Only the
fniidemen would profit principally. There is
good Gemaad for our shingles and we should
be paid good price Tor them. There Is no sense
in running mills so that they will just pay eX-
penses.
II is a mistake to suppose the association or
trust, II is called, wishes to regulate the run
mag hours of MILL 1t simply asks that shin
giles be NOT sold at prices which are ruinous. 1t

vested At ell times the shingle brokers
after the single men and bear prices when pos

harvest, aud they will reap the biggest harvest
in the history of the shingle business next
month If the single men foolishly adopt cut
throat methods.

The MikadO.

On Monday night next at g o'clock the sale of reserved seats will begin at the box office for the four representations of the Dessauer Opera company in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic Japanese opera, "The Mikado," the first of which will occur on Thursday night, the 25th instant. MT. I. H. Riley, prominent comedian and comic opera celebrity, both here and in England, who has been engaged during the past three weeks in perfecting the stage busi- ness, will conclude his labors on Thursday night next, when the opera may be said to be ready for 8 public hearing. We are told the costumes are gorgeous and charac- teristic of the nation which has such a penchant for gold and brilliant colors, es- pecially among the patricians and royal personagss.
 The members of the chorus are said to possess voices of great power and quality, having been selected with much care by Max Dessauer, who has spent the greater part of two preceding months in accom- plishing perfect rendering of the music. Miss Lizzie Gaffney, our distinguished soprano, will sing the principal part. Harry Ensign will essay the leading com edy character. Platon Brounoff as The Mikado, s. Cristy Mead as Pooh-Bab, Ar thur Jepson as Pish-Tish, Ritti-Sing by the pretty black-eyed and charming Millie Williams, Aggie Cabe-Howard, g Verita= hle Hebe, as Peek Boo, Carrie Morse Lee as katisha, and there can be noth= ing to add to make this second an- nual production greater success than Pinafore. The character of Nanki-Poo, which has been previously omitted, will be sung by MT. Thomas H. Williams, who, Manager Wall ayers, will be an unexpected and great surprise to his auditors, as he possesses voice of phenomenal brilliancy, power and sYeetnsss. The scenery will be new and constructed for the ooossioa,
