GOOD PROGRESS ON TUNNEL
Work Going on at Much More
Rapid Rate Than People
Generally Suppose.

The work on the Southern railway s
new tunnel is progressing at a much
more rapid rate than it is supposed by
many Although the laborers are not
under the mountain to any great ex-
tent, the work on the approaches has
been steady and constant and it will
only be short time until the big
air compressor is started and then rap
id progress will be made. Consider
able time has been taken in the erect
ion of a trestle over the N. G. g. st.
L. railway tracks at the west end OF
the tunnel. The west end of the big
hole will come out on top of a high
bluff which is about forty feet over
the Nashville roads track. Accord
ing to the survey the track will leave
the tunnel and shoot out across the
Nashville road on a high trestle and
then go on a high long fill.
Ali the material for this fill will be
taken out of the mountain and in or.
der to get it across the Nashville
tracks wide bridge had to be erected
which will be much wider than
trestle and upon which there will b.
one or two tracks laid for tram cars
This bridge has been completed ant
as soon as the approach to the tunne
from the end of the bridge is com
pleted, the work of excavation will
begin. At the other end of the tunne
another large job has just been com
pleted The entrance to the tunnel a
this end is hardly 200 feet away from
the Chattanooga creek. Another tres
tie will have to be erected here. Th'
contractors will erect a permanen
structure at this end of the tunnel ant
already the foundation for the stee
work has commenced. The bridg
will be rather small, but will be sub
stantially constructed.
There are now between $50 and 2U
men employed. Chattanooga Times.

MITCHELL MAY RESIGN.
Mine Workers Presidenr Says
His Work Too ArduOus.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ga spec
ial from Wilkesbarre, Pa, to the Pub
lie Ledger says:
The rumor is revived that President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
will soon tender his resignation.
In his address last night, he said:
Il may not long be with you in this
great movement. This night and day
work is too much. The nervous and
physical strain of continual effort is
more than mortal man can stand. "
Many of Mitchells followers see his
resignation in his latest utterance.
President Mitchell and his attorney,
James L. Lenahan, had a conference
in this city regarding the coming trial
at Binghamton in September. Attorn-
ey Wales, of that city, wants $500, OOO
from the miners union for suggesting
to Mr.. Mitchell how to settle the strike
in 1902. The conclusion was reached tc
fight the case to the bitter end.

MUSIC AT M0NTEAGLE
Great Crowd Heard the Grand
Concert Saturday Night.

MONTEAGLE, Tenn, Aug. 6.-Sat-
urday being Mrs. Thomas day, was
one of the biggest of the Monteagle
Assembly, inaugurating one of the
greatest festivals ever held on the
mountain. Special trains from differ
ent places brought large crowds and
standing room could be secured only
with difficulty in the auditorium on
Saturday night. Under the direction
of Douglas Powell, of Nashville, a
chorus of more than hundred trained
voices from Nashville and an orches-
ira of thirty pieces took part with the
following soloists: Miss Corinne Bal
lev of New Orleans; Miss Gustafson,
one of the sweetest of contraltos
John J. Bergen, of Memphis; Samuel
P. Brown and JOHN Biller, and Miss
Helen Rion, of Nashville.
One of the features of the evening
was the 'Toreador Song" given by
Douglas Powell in his rich baritone
voice. The termination of the festi-
val came Sunday night when HandePs
messiah was given. No create,
music has ever been heard at Mont
eagle, the chorus reminding one of the
great cathedrals in the old country
The grand success was due to tn,
untiring efforts of Mr.. Powell, the
director. He left nothing undone tx
insure its success and those who at
tended can attest to the reward of hi
work. Nashville American.
