FENCE AND TUNNEL SITE.

from the South Capitol street extremity
and have so far gone about half way across
the park When this is completed the work
Of sinking a shaft and commencing the
operation OF tunneling will begin.
The contractors who have charge of this
portion of the work are disposed to push
their work to the utmost and get their tun-
mel through to the union station site at
Delaware avenue and F street as soon as
possible. Therefore no time will be lost
in getting to work when all the prelimi-
naries have been completed. These how
ever. will take some little time, and il may
be several months before the shaft at tho
southern end will be sunk
There has been some little discussion as
to whether or not workmen shall commence
at the northern end of the tunnel at this
time and work through to meet those that
will come through from the south. Moth
ing has been done regarding this matter
however. There has been some little pro-
test from the people living in the vicinity
of the base of operations against the fenc-
Ing of the streets, but the work has to be
done In order to give the workmen the
freedom they require for the extensive tun-
neling that Is to be done. The fence Is
about twelve feet high. and is not a thing
OF beauty. 1t completely shuts out the
view OF the railroad tracks from the people
living on the north side of d street and
cuts on the view of the park for those liy-
ing to the south of the tracks

PRELIMINARY WORK.
Beginnings Of stupendous Under
taking by the Railway Companies

The high board fence that is being erect
ed about the site of the entrance to the
tunnel which is to connect the tracks of
the steam railroads on the south of the
Capitol with the union depot has attracted
a great deal of attention the past few days.
The fence is not yet finished. but on ac-
count of its size and the unusual location
of such an obstruction it has been the OBJ
ject of much speculation.
According to present plans the fence will
extend from South Capitol street on the
west across I'd street on the east. and IS
about 200 yards from d street south; A
large park extends from South Capitol street
to a point beyond New Jersey avenue and
between D street and the railroad yards
The fence Is being erected across the south
side of this park. and all the park drive
ways have been closed. 1t will extend be-
yond South Capitol street when finished.
but an opening is left at this street for
the passage of teams to and from the
freight depot near the corner of E street.
First street. I'd street and New Jersey
avenue will be closed. and the fence wall
extended across these thoroughfares.
The workmen began to build the fence

During the historical days from 1861 to

time money and strength to the success
of the Union army. And there was no

loyalty and were eager to scrape lint. sew
bandages. collect money and to sit evening

Most Of these loyal women were and
are unknown beyond the neighborhoods in
which they lived. Yet to live their restrict
ed monotonous laborious lives, shaving to
