The record for fast tunnel driving Is
believed to be held by the East River
Gas Company in the construction of
its tunnel under the East river, New
York. In one week the day shift made
forty-eight feet six inches and the
night shift fifty-two feet six inches-a
total of 101 feet. The heading is ten
feet six inches by eight feet six inches
and was advanced in full section. The
rock is very hard horn-blende gneiss.
This is remarkable work, considering
the peculiarly difficult conditions of
the location, and is claimed to be the
quickest tunnel driving of the kind.
Four ee-and-one-half-inch drills were
used in the heading, mounted on tun-
mel columns with arms, two drills on
each column. About fifteen holes, nine
to ten feet deep, were drilled by each
shift, consisting of five machine run
ners and their helpers.-Literary d.

SCOTS BODY FOUND.
He Was Hanged and Then Sunk In the
River.

O'NeilI, Neb., Jan. 2O.-All question
as to the fate of Barrett Scott has been
settled. Those who have insisted that
he was not dead, but had simply dis
appeared to eyade the legal conse-
quences OF his populations, are con-
founded by the finding of his body in
the Niobrara river about 10 o'clock last
night.
1t was found a short distance down
stream from where the quilt belonging
to the deceased was brought to the sur
face the evening before, lying near the
north bank of the river. in seven feet
OF water. The delegation from Spen-
Ger, Boyd county, which Joined the
searching party Saturday, continued It's
labor5 into the night and was reward
ed by bringing the body to the surface.
The searchers proceeded on the theory
that the captors Of Scott had taken
him to what is known as the Whitney
bridge, five miles south Of the point
where the first searching party lost the
wagon trail of SCOTS captors the day
after the tragedy.
The body bore evidence that the vic
tim was dead when cast into the water.
Around his neck was a piece Of rope
about three feet long, a moose around
the neck being tied in true hangman's
style. The other end bore evidence of
having been cut, showing that Scott
had been hung until he was dead and
then cut down and cast into the river.
The body was minus a coat but his
watch and chain and other tewelry
which was on his person the night of
the tragedy We're still there. The face
of the deceased confirmed the truth of
the story told by Mrs. Scott, to the eff
feet that In the fusilade which proceed
ed her husbands capture he was slight
Iy wounded ON the side OF the face.
There was nothing to indicate, how
ever, that the victim had been tortured
to induce him to make Il confession
concerning the shortage In the Holt
county funds during his term as treas
urer, as had been surInised by SCOTS
friends that his captors would do.
The coroner's jury found that Scott
was lynched by Holt county men, and
warrants have been issued for Farmers
MuIlIhan, Elliott and Roy, who were
previously arrested, charging them
with murder, and an officer will start
after them tonight

ALAMosA,s MARSHAL suor. /,
Abe Taylor Resists Arrest.--He Is After
wards Captured.

Alamosa. Colo, Jan. 2O.-What is
probably a deliberate murder occurred
here yesterday at 1 O'Clock, and Charles
ii. Emerson, the plucky marshal of
Alamosa, is lying at the pDint of death
at his home with a bullet wound
through his lung. He received a tele-
gram from w. Neff, La lara, to look
out Tor man with a stolen load Of
oats
AT the noon hour a man answering
the description drove into the yard at
the mill with four horse team and
big load of grain. The marshal found
MIN inquiring the price of oats at Ger
tren's store, arrested him, took away
his gun and accompanied him to the
mill to put away the team. The fellow,
whose name is Abe Taylor, offered no
resistance, but remarked that he would
not be put in Jail.
A young fellow named William
Thompson rode from La lara on the
load. and, as the man was ostensibly
climbing On the wagon, handed him a
si1-shooter, which he at once fired at
the marshal, who stood only half
dozen feet away. The fire was return
ed until both men emptied their guns
as they backed away from each other
Emerson fell at the third shot, but shot
twice after at the retreating man, who
ran west few hundred yards, where
he met man on horseback, whom he
ordered off at the point of his now
empty revolver, mounted the horse
and rode south and west
He was followed by a posse and cap
tured this morning near Sunfower by
Deputy Sheriff Cooper.
Marshal Emer-on's condition is criti-
cal and there is but slight chance that
he can recover.
Some talk of lynching has been In
dulged in but Sheriff Garcia declares
that he will protect the prisoner.

THE PURITAN RETURNS 10 NEU- YORK.

FEW SIGNS OF HER ROUGH ENPERENcE-To BE
LAID Up AFTER BEING REPAIRED
The steamer Puritan OF the Fall River Line, which
passed three unpleasant days the rocks Of Great
Gull Island and was successfully hoated on Tues
dav came down to New-York from New-London
under her own steam yesterday afternoon The
steamer was high out of the water as her cargo had
been removed and her eight pumps were kept going.
but she made good time, despite the hay weather,
and show ed little signs Of her rough experience
The steamers flags were flying she rounded the
Battery and passing vessels saluted the big Sound
boat with shrill whistles OF congratulation.
The Puritan went az once to the Fletcher Iron
Works Pier, Fourteenth-st and North River Ho-
boken 1t has not been decided what will be done
with her, but she will probably be placed on the
sectional drydock at Pike-st East River.
Mr. Taylor. of the Fall River Line. said yesterday
that the accident had fully proved the efcencN OF
their boats and Of the double steel bottom Only
the outer skin had been pierced. and that merely on
the mort side forward. The Puritan he said, Wouid
have made only one more trip anyway, ana now
after being repaired, she would be laid UP Tor the
