TUNNEL HEADINGS MEET.
Tube from Fifth Avenue to East
RiUer Complete.

Directly under the Third avenue elevated road
the eastbound and westbound headings of the
Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel beneath 39d street
came together at 7 o'clock yesterday morning,
and now the passageway is continuous from
Fifth avenue to the East River. Each OF the
gangs working toward one another fought for the
honor Of making the opening, and Philip Pag
lonis westbound gang won out.
Actual tunnelling beneath $50 street began last
March. The rock proved to be of good quality
from the first, and rarely was any timbering
necessary to hold up walls and roof. AS the
men from the East River and from Fourth ave-
nue. approached each other under the paving
stones of Third avenue they began to show ex-
j traordinary energy. The Italians. most Of whom
know no English. and the Negroes who
are doing such big part of the tunnel work
around New York, attacked the Job fercely,
every one determined that his gang must be
the first through the intervening wall of rock.

of rock only twenty-five feet away. Inen,
when the pieces Of loose rock stopped flying

kept guard TO see that no man passed through
before him.
