RAPID TRANSIT IN LONDON
Engineering Magazine.

Engineering Magazine.
Briefly summarizing, rapid transit in
London and its suburbs depends upon a
widespread and radical application of
electricity, and this is of even more i'm
portance than the creation CT new tun-
nels. The latter should be built ac-
cording to well-matured plans, under a
central authority, and form a network
following main arteries of traffic and
connecting busy centers with other CEN
ters, and with outlying districts and sub
urban stations. The roads should form
part of a general system, under a stlglc
management and responsibility. Classes
should be abolished, one regular rate Of
fare established, with workmens fares
IN limited hours, and there should be free
exchange except on limited routes. or
within two zones. Locomotive practice
should be abolished, and trains operated
in small units (which could be combined
at will. Electric trans should be provG-.
ed in place of many of the bus lines on
crowded streets, and radiate from every
terminus of tubular railways and form
most of the suburban stations Every
steam railway should equip at least it's
suburban service with electricity on Il
plan which permits of variable train
lengths, plural control, high scnedule
speed and the maximum use of exi5tins
trackage.

thievery is liable to be uncovered at any

denial that the occasion justifies such

openly avow their purpose, thus showing
with a most commendable frankness a
degree of moral obliquity which prom

The meeting of the consolidated COM
mittee on the subject of the improve
ment of local roads, while it cannot be
said to have been productive of any i'm
mediate practical result, has been eff
fective in calling attention to the great
wrong which is involved to the NUM-
cipality by the course heretofore pur-
sued. Every resident taxpayer of the city
must regard with regret the conciu-
sion of our local law officers that the city
has no right to participate in the ex-
penditure of the moneys available for
county roads purposes. Such being the
law there is no course but to sub
nit. and look to the future for remedy
ing the paipable injustice which is in
volyed to the owners of city property, as
well as to the city as municipality
and to those who pay practically the
whole of the taxes from which these
moneys are derived.
The present condition cannot be all
lowed to continue. The harm to the
community of having the country roads
within the city limits continue in the
lamentable state in which so many of
them now are is beyond calculation. 1t
would be equivalent to confscation If the
cost of putting those roads in desirable
shape were assessed against the prop
erty supposed to be immeditely bene-
flied. The gain is not to the adjacent
or al oil 70
commercial and industrial interests of
the entire community
The total sum expended in the MAIN
tenanee and improvement of the county
reads. judiciously expended, admits of the
most satisfactory results The machin-
cry used for its expenditure is not the
best, and some proportion of it is no doubt
misspent; but the general result is to
some considerable extent satisfactory
For the actual work of street inn
provement the moneys available under
the charter do not admit of any expen-
diture worth talking about on the roads
in the vicinity of the city limits in many
directions. This should be remedied at
the earliest moment. The highly intel
Hgent and energetic body which has
taken this subject up can be relied on
to do it's full duty in the premises. It's
estimates of the sums necessary to add
to the moneys raised for such work at
present can be safely accepted as Just
and reasonable.
The sentiment of the community is ur-
gently in favor of the earliest and most
effective remedy possible. With the
cooperation of the charter commission
with the consolidated committee the
needed result will be accomplished, and
a grievous disadvantage under which
our LEGAL trade has been made to suffer
from the beginning will have found a
remedy. The sooner that remedy is ap-
piled the better it will be for all the
interests concerned.

It is generally agreed that the princi-

The Rough Riders had hardly landed
in cuba before they received their baptism
of fire at GuaSinaS. An officer who was
a tyrant and well hated by the men lost
his head on that day, and turned up at

the Rough Riders had been whipped and
that Col. Wood had been killed. It was

foe. Lieut. Col. Roosevelt was with

But it did not affect his appetite for
lighting. A trooper who was near him
told me that he said he would assume
command at once and order the whole
regiment to advance if he could get any
confirmation of the loss of Col. Wood.
Turning to Waller, of Yale, who was
a corporal in Troop e, he said:
See if you can find the colonel, and re-
port to me at once"
Roosevelt walked impatiently up and
down during Walters abserce When the
Yale man returned he said that he had
not seen Wood, and had been told that
he was shot. While Waller was mslzing
his report the square form of Wood, cool
and imperturbable, came riding through
the jungle. Roosevelt's relief shone in his
face. He ran over to Wood and cried,
impetueusly:
Colonel, we heard you had been killed.
You have not been hit, hope? Every
thing is all right?'
Wood, man of few words, merely
said:
No, no, notf.a scratch" And with a
wave of his arm he added:
Take your men over to the left and
continue the advance
The lieutenant colonel needed no urg-
ing, and led his men to the charge in
gallant style, driving the Spaniards from

WORKMEN MEET DEATH
UNDER FALL OF ROCK

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Five men were
killed and two injured this morning
" hen an enormous mass of rock cavel
from the side and roof of the Rapid
Transit tunnel, in course of construction
on Broadway, about the line of 164th
street, in this city. The dead are:
PETER O'HARA.
TIMOTHY KELLEHER.
JOHN GORONSKY.
PATRICK MADDEN, foreman of the
muckers.
LUIGI DANTE.
The injured are:
Domenico de Pietro. and an Italian Ia
borer, name unknown.
The section of the tunnel where the
cave-in occurred is los feet below the
surface. A shaft leads to the tunnel,
and from the shaft headings extend north
and south, each being about 700 feet
long. The accident occurred in the
south heading of the tunnel, about GAO
feet from the shal,. A gang of twenty
rock drillers were working in the ex-
treme south end of the heading and
about fifty feet from the end gang
made up of twenty muckers and a fore
man were removing the debris produced
by the blasting.
without warning the mass of rock, Six
ty-three feet long, eleven feet wide and
ten feet high and weighing about $50
tons fell with tremendous crash di-
rectly where the muckers were work
ing, almost closing the tunnel and Great
ing panic among the two or three hum
dred men at work in other sections. Great
clouds of dust filed the whole excava-
ton. The frightened men, most of them
Italians, in wild excitement and finding
themselves cut off, as they thought,
made wild efforts to escape, their cries
adding to the confusion and horror. Be-
fore long, however, all made their way
to the street, and the work of rescuing
the muckers was commenced. At first
it was supposed that at least dozen
men had been buried under the debris.
Word of the accident had quickly
spread, and soon an anxious crowd gath
cred around the shaft, scores of men
and women crying and wringing their
hands while the resuers worked with tre-
mendous energy to reach the entombed
workmen. De Petro and the unknown
