in them could be opened, by which the sand
or mud or gravel, little by little, could be
taken out, and, by means Of shutes In the
center of the shield, run into little cars on
the tracks below.
There were also provided in the shield
''erectors," worked by hydraulic pressure.
They were simply arms, capable, like a
human arm, Of picking up a weight and put
ting il in place, just as the bricklayer picks
up a brick and sets it in place on the wall,
But this erector arm picked up a ton weight
a whole segment Of the circular ring, and
put 1t up in its proper place, above, one side
or below. and held It and pressed II there
until the workmen bolted 1t securely, and
then II picked up another and did the same.

floating It down, gradually pumping out the
water until the shield rested on the bottom,
near where it was to be set up and put to
work. This shield is a wonderful contrivance,
which 1t has taken many years and many
minds to perfect; but most of its design was
the work of Mr.. Greathead, who recently
died-a loss to the whole world.
H GREAT SHIELD.
The great Blackwell shield was twenty
seven feet eight inches in diameter and nine
teen feet six inches long, all made of steel. In
the rear part of it there were thirty-four
hydraulic rams, each ten inches in diameter,
whose duty it was to push the face of the
shield forward into the unexcavated material
lying in front. These rams rested for their
pushing support on the already built-up rings
of the tunnel, just described. They were
worked by water pressure from two hydraulic
engines of seN enty-horse power. In the front
of the shield doors were arranged through
which the workmen could pick and shovel

about ten feet apart in the length of the tun-
mel.
There are four shafts leading from the open
air above into the tunnel. They are also
lined with glazed tile. Two of these are
forty-eight feet in inside diameter and are
provided with spiral staircases for people who
wish to reach that part of the city above the
shafts.
Now, how was the work done-this deep
part, through these bad materials?
TWO MAMMOTH SHAFTS.
The level of the tunnel had first to be
reached from the banks Of the river, and
here were sunk two shafts. Two others
were also sunk further away for the same
purpose. Each shaft was fifty-eight feet in
diameter outside. Its thickness was five feet;
two shells Of iron filled with concrete. Near
the lower edge of the shafts a hole was made
through these shells about twenty-nine feet
in diameter. This great shaft, or caisson, as
it is called, was built on the land, and put

DOUGLAS STREET A
'The state" establishment Consider
ably Damaged.

The State establishment at 1911 Douglas
street, was seen to be on fire about 2:40 p.
m. yesterday by a clerk in the Merchants
hotel, and he telephoned the fire depart
ment. Companies Nos. I, 2, 3 and 4 and
hook and ladder companies Nos. | and 2
were promptly on the scene, but only No.
3 threw water. What might have proved
a serious confagration was avoided by
skillful management.
The fire is supposed to have started from
under a platform used as a foot s,a1l by
the clerks and bookkeepers, and the flameo
spread to a rack containing ladies' gar
ments. The heat was so intense that all
the plate mirrors and show cases in the
store were cracked and ruined.

CHARGED WITH STEALING.
Winfield S. Brown Discharged by Judge
Robinson,

| Winfield S. Brown, young man who
works on the government Notifications
at Fort Preble and lives on the Henry
St. John Smith estate at Pond Cove, was
arraigned in the municipal court yester-
day morning on the charge of stealing
and felonlously taking away several
pounds OF hay. He was represented by
Dennis A. Meaher, who waived the war
rant and entered plea of not guilty.
Assistant County Attorney Allan ap-
peared for the state. Granville Jordan
testified that Brown had the use of one
third OF the barn on the estate and he
had the rest. Wednesday morning he
had found Brown throwing part of
his, (Jordan's) hay down on the floor
from the NOV. He had scraped up from
30 to rs pounds and when he saw Jordan
ne wanted to settle for it right there,
but Jordan refused.
Deputy Plummer said that Brown told
him he had used some of Mr.. Jordan s
hay until he could get some somewhere
else.
Judge Robinson was Of the opinion
that Brown had committed technical
trespass, as was admitted by the testi-
mony on both sides. But there was GER.
tainly not any evidence of stealing. The
young man was accordingly discharged.

ly were absent at the time of the fire
which occurred near midday between 1
and O'Clock. Willis Jordan and his
father were at the house about half-past
one, but as they state, did not go near
the barn; they went home about half
mile distant and shortly after the barn
was seen to be on fire. They knew of
no one being in the barn near that time
except two little girls who went in to
feed the pig.
The defense in their brief statement
filed in court say that they ought not to
be held liable because the fire occurred
by the gross carelessness or fraudulent
act of the plaintiff in setting the fire,
but little reliance was placed upon that
part of the defense. The offered decla-
rations made by the plaintiff after the
fire, which if true, might give rise TO
suspicious; but the main defense was
that the barn was old, rickerty and near
ly worthless. The policy provides that
in no event shall the insured be entitled
to more than two-thirds of the yalue az
the property lost. The evidence on the
part of the defense was that the barn
not worth over $50, while the witness
for the plaintiff put the value at $500
The testimony is closed and the case will
be argued later.

DIR. Greene's Nervura Blood and nerve
remedy keeps right on curing the most noted
and famous among our people as well as those
in the ordinary walks of life.
We read continually about the cures of we'll
known prominent people by this wonderful
health-giver, DR.. Greene's Nervura; but where
one such eminent clergyman, statesman or
public official is cured, there are thousands
upon thousands of cures constantly being
effected among the common people every
where. The common people make up the
great mass of our citizens, and it is they, the
business man, clerk, salesman, mechanic,
laborer, and the women of our land the toll
ing housewife, saleswoman, shop and factory
girl, who receive the most cures and best know
and appreciate the great blessing of health and
strength which DR.. Greene's Neryura always
brings to the weak, nervous, rundown, sick
and debilitated.
The recent cure by DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy of Major w. G.
Moore, Superintendent of Police of Washing
ton and District of Columbia, is of the utmost
Importance inasmuch as Maj. Moore, is one OF
the best known men in this country, he having
been confidential secretary to President OF
the United States = President Johnson, and
also secretary to E. M. Stanton, President
Llncoln's Secretary of War. The cure of SO

DR.. Greenes Nervura has more recon-
mendations and medical authority behind it
than any other medicine in the world. Physi-
clans endorse and prescribe it,; hospitals and
dispensaries use it, and it is the prescription
and discovery of the well-known DR.. Greene of
"a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who is the
most successful physician in curing disease.
DR.. Greene can be consulted free by all

ination or advice either personally Or by letter.
