campments of 1920 and thereafter will
necessarily be gatherings chiefly of
those who were private soldiers in the
war.
Ten years ago the Ohio contingent
as it passed through Pennsylvania ave
nue., Washington, had one eX eXpresident
in the line, and one who was later to
be president is believed to have been
there too. Both Hayes and Mckinley
are gone. In fact, list of the promi
nent surviving officers who participat
ed in that parade, by comparison with
those who can be in the national capi
tai in October, would show with great
distinctness the ravages of time.
The leading spirits in the Grand
Army have announced their intention
to celebrate the opening of the thirty
seventh year of the society by raising
funds for statue of Major b. r.
Stephenson, who founded the organi-
cation.
The Grand Army was organized in
Decatur, ILL.,, April 6, 1866, a few days
less than year after the surrender at
Appomattox. The first department en-
campment, then called convention"
was held June 26, 1866, at Springfield,
ILL.,, and the state of Illinois was con-
stituted a department of the Grand
Army of the Republic. General John
M. Palmer, late senator from Illinois,
was elected department commander.
The national body was organized at
indianapolis Nov. 20, 1866 with Gen
eral Stephen A. Hurlbut as commander
in chief. DR.. Stephenson, while the
organizer and founder of the great
military organization, was never hon
ored with an elective office in it.
Special features have been planned
to interest the great throng of general
visitors. The Potomac Boat club is to
hold regatta, in which oarsmen of in.
ternational repute will compete for
prizes.
The local committee of the G. A. r,
has provided for the most elaborate
display of fireworks ever seen at the
national capital. This display will be
held on the monument grounds night
ly, and there is adequate room for over
100000 people to view the pyrotechnic
effects.

elevated structure. This is about half
mile long and was rendered neces-
sary by the formation of the land.
Manhattan valley is deep depression
between two hills. both of which are
tunneled, and the elevated viaduct con-
high at its highest point.
So far but one contractor has been
killed in the tunnel. This was Ira A.
Shafer, who had the contract for the
Park avenue section. He was killed by
fall of rock while inspecting the
work. 1t was in this section that ex-
ploding dynamite wrought great dis
aster, wrecking the Murray Hill hotel
and killing several guests.
The Park avenue section down to the
present has been the most unlucky of
any. 1t was there that several build
ings collapsed by reason of their foun-
dations having been undermined by
the rock on which they were built
sliding into the tunnel excavation. The
money damage resulting from this was
very heavy.
The work of building the tunnel is
now at it's high water mark of activ-
ity Ten thousand men are employed,
of whom one-half are laborers and the
remainder skilled workmen. Money is
paid out at the rate of $1,250,000
month. The work cannot continue at
this rate for very many months, as
fore midwinter.
In other directions besides the actual
building of the tunnel work is being
rushed. The old buildings on the site
of the power house, bounded by Elev.
enth and Twelfth avenues, Eighty.
eighth and Eighty-ninth streets, have
been razed, and the foundations of the
great structure are being laid. Cars
have been ordered for the underground
railroad, and the first of them have
been delivered. Thousands of skilled
workers are manufacturing the equip.

sued from the Office of Chief Engineer
Parsons.
The work of building this great sub
way was contracted for 10y John b.
Mcdonald, the price to bc paid him be-
ing $3j,0OO,000. The work was then
sublet in sections by Mr.. Mcdonald,
and the tunnel building has gone for
ward under number of firms and in
dividuals, each having one or more
sections to construct.
There have been only two notable
ger to life involved in the great un
dertaking. On Oct. Is, 1901, five men
were crushed TO death under tons Of
rock in the deep tunnel at ao llun

lives sacrificed during the two years
since active work was begun.
1t is estimated that the task will oc
cupy another year at least. If the per
centage Of deaths keeps up in ratio
twelve more deaths must be recorded
before the tunnel is completed. This
is matter which is constantly in the
minds of the contractors and engi.
neers, and every fatal accident teaches
a lesson and leads to the adoption of
new precautions TO safeguard the
workmen.
But the human element is always
present to upset the wisest calculations
and most carefully laid plans. and no
body can tell when something will &C.

whether employed on the work or not.
Several times there have been narrow
escapes from appalling disasters
The men In charge of the work are
of the opinion that they have been for
tunate thus far in reducing the peril
to life aud limb to the minimum. They
say that after millions of people have
been walking, driving and riding in
street cars for two years on the brink
of an excavation extending for miles
through the city and thousands of men
have been employed in hazardous un-
derground work the wonder is that the
list of victims is not much longer.
One of the greatest sources of dam
ger in the work has been from dyna-
mite. 1t has been necessary to exca-
vate 100000 cubic yards of solid rock,
and for months the contractors have
been using one and one half tons of
dynamite day for blasting, This in
itself constitutes menace which
makes the engineers and contractors
shiver.
With the exception of the persons
killed by the Park avenue explosion
nearly all the victims of fatal acci-
dents in the tunnel have been men EN-.
ployed on the work. The latest fatal
ity, however, called attention,to a new
source of danger. Edward Morris. a

sons there is large colored map on
which the progress of the work is noted
from day to day. Many colors are
used, and each one denotes that the
work at a given point is at certain
stage. One color shows that q block is
being excavated, another that the steel
framework is being put ln third that
the brick arch Is being constructed
and so on. Chief Engineer Parsons or
one Of his assistants, looking at this
map. can tell exactly what is being
done on every block throughout the
length of the tunnel a spot of clear
white means that no work at all has
been done at that point, but there are
few of these remaining.
A glance at the progress map, with
an explanation by one of the engi.
neers, would startle the average New
Yorker who does not know what has
been accomplished during the last two
years. II is not known generally that
1t is now possible TO walk miles. with
only an occasional interruption OF the
course, through completed sections of
the tunnel.
One Of the most difficult sections OF
the tunnel TO construct Is that lying
between One Hundred and Thirty
third street and One Hundred and
Eighty-frst street, n distance of nearly
two miles and a half. One mile of this
is an open cut. mostly through rock,
and the remaining mile and half is

point this tunnel is 145 feet beneath
the surface of the street above.

while engaged in painting the front
Of the Nezperce Livery and Feed
Stable, which will no doubt lay
him up for some time to come. He
was engaged IL painting the lower
part Of the structure and was in a
sitting position when the carpen-
tiers, who were engaged in moving
some scaffolding on the front un-
consciously moved an eighteen foot
ladder causing it to fall upon Nor
ris, striking him on the top of the
head and knocking him to the
ground. DR.. Cooper was called
and found upon examination a cut

running diagonally across the top
Of the skull The doctor upon far
ther examination found the skull
fractured also. The wound was
dressed and the patient was resting

ONSLAUGHT BY STRIKERS:

Working at Oliphant, Pa.-Depu-

Scranton, Pa, May 21.-Fifteen
hundred mine workers at Oliphant
yesterday morning made the first seri-
Gus demonstration since the strike
began in the Lackawanna valley.
Their onslaught was directed against
the Grassy Island washery of the
ID. & H. Co., in the northern part Of
the town. The approaches were
blockaded to such an extent that Dis
trict Superintendent Sarge and num-
Der of foremen from the company's
nearby mines found it impossible to
make their way through the lines and
were forced to retreat down the rail-
road tracks with boots, cat-calls and
some flying missiles following them.
Hungarian wOm,>.. jumped in among
the foremen and snatching the hat
from the head Of one hurled it into
a muddy pool, yelling wildly as she
did so. Her action almost precipitat-
ed trouble, and only through the de-
termined efforts of some of the strike
leaders was she dragged away and
made to keep quiet. While this dem
onstration was going on six armed
deputies, who had come up from the
washery, were warned not to ap-
proach too near and warned that they
had better go back to the washery
AS no company official was present to
direct their movements they acted on
the suggestion and retreated to the
washery.

men came to Scranton and consulted

pany officials say they are determin.

Oliphant strikers say they are just
as determined that it shall not be op-
Grated.
