Paris Fears the Underground.

The Paris underground railway is
beginning to be a cause Of alarm. Sub
sidences have taken place, and more
are apprehended. The scene Of
such incident is the Rue de Chabrol,
and now another is reported from the
Boulevard de Charonne. Here a new
ly-erected building Of six stories has
begun to show a decided list, and is
being hurriedly shored up by supports.
From a report made by technical OBJ
servers there is some ground for fear
that there has been some defect in
dealing with the subsoil, and that the
constant vibration of trains is finding
out the weak places.
