Philadelphia. April 24.-The Pennsylvania

erect in that city. The building will be at Sew
enth-ave. and Thirty-third-st-. and will proha-
bly, be a large structure. the rooms above the
first floor being devoted to offices. To this
building considerable excavating must be done.
as the railroad rooms will be below the surface
and the tracks will be sixty feet deep.
There will be two stories below the street.
The first will be used waiting room and
ticket office On the second story will be the
entrance to the train shed. This shed is 10 be
a mammoth affair. There will be room for thir-
ty-twO tracks. 1t is understood that the board
of consulting engineers has progressed far
as to prepare plans which will enable the
underground company TO go ahead with part

Contrary TO the general belief. the material
under the bed of the North River is not so
spongy as was generally thought. In most cases
il is hard clay, which ordinarily would be strong
enough to bear the weight of the tunnel 1t is
understood. however that there are to be no

piers the character of which has not been de-
termined upon.
