Ten Men Refuse to Serve Under a
COIOred Revenue Collector.

ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. 5.-Henry A.
Rucker the negro recently appointed coll
lector of internal revenue for the district Of
Georgia, took the oath and assumed charge
of the office this afternoon, Collector Paul
Trammell retiring. To-day six white men
in the collectors department announced
that they would go out of office with Mr..
Trammell, declining TO serve under a negro
collector. These officials are: T. w. Kelly,
deputy collector at Atlanta; II. H. Whitsell,
deputy collector at Blue Ridge; j. r. Kin
caid, storekeeper and gauger at Blue Ridge;
n. G. Otis, deputy collector at Columbus;
j. w. Glass, storekeeper and gauger at
Canton, and w. c. Mccain, storekeeper
and gauger at Jasper. The new collector
has selected a white man, A. j. Smith, now
on Collector Trammells staff, as his chief
deputy.
When Mr.. Rucker met with his prede-
cessor tonight to effect the transfer of the
office he found a large gathering of depu-
ties, who presented Mr.. Trammel with
very handsome silver service. Speeches
were made, closing with one by Mr.. Ruck-
err whose temperate tone and fair words
pleased his hearers. Realizing the embar-
easements ahead of him, he asked the sup
port of all the deputies and assured them
they should have his as long as they were
in the service. His speech was reassur-
ing one. Tonight four more of the deputy
collectors sent in their resignaS IONS and
went out with their white chief.

HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL.
BOndhOIders Decide to Revive Prof.
ecf Abandoned Five Years Ago.

ect Abandoned Five Years Ago.
NEW YORK, Aug 5.-The Hudson river
tunnel project is to be revived. Plans are
now being pushed all along the line to take
up the thread of construction where it was
dropped five years ago and rush the project
to completion. The first and most imp@--
tant step will be taken in few days by the
law firm Of Lord, Day & Lord, who repre-
sent the English bondholders in this coun-
try. The firm VIII file papers in foreclosure
against the tunnel property. 1t will be
sold and bid in by the stockholders, and the
decks will be legally cleared for a reorgani-
zation with a new issue Of bonds About
$4,000 coo has already been spent in build
ing the tunnel, and ii is thought that $780,
O0U more Will complete ii.
The condition OF the great tunnel to-day
can be briefly given from the records. When
the work was suspended in the spring Of
1882 there were 1916 feet OF completed Iun-
mel going east from the shaft in jersey

east OF the middle Of the Hudson river,
which divides the States. and lying within

dition there We're 40 feet completed west
ward from the New York shaft at the foot
of Morton street, adjoining the Hoboken
ferry. Around the open shafts at both ends
of the line wooden structures have been
erected and watchmen have been employed
night and day. During these five years of
desertion water has dripped into the tunnel,
and 1t is totally sWamped. but the en-
gineers say it will be a matter of about
only two weeks TO pump this out and have
the ground ready for the resumption of
work
