FEW TUNNEL LIGHTS.
Capitol Hill Subway Like Others,
Says Stationmaster.

The recent inquiry into the death of
Mrs. Lottie Harrison, who was thrown
from a train and killed in one of the tun-
nels leading to the Union station last
week. has developed the fact that parts
of the tunnel We're not lighted About
fifteen arc lights are used in the section
near the large electric fans used to clear
the tunnel of smoke, but from the fans
TO the mouth of the tunnel, about three
hundred yards in distance, no lights are
used.
Station Master William G. Robey said
yesterday:
1t is not customary TO light tunnels
so far as l know. The old Navy Yard
tunnel, from 9TH to 18th streets south
west had no lights. The Baltimore tun-
nels are not all lighted. The only tunnel
know OF that is lighted is the belt lin ;
tunnel in Baltimore"
