1874 Foot Tunnel Is
Completed by Workmen

The last shovelful of earth from the
1884 foot tunnel that is to carry a sew
er, and which was dug in connection
with the Cumberland Valley Railroad
construction work at Second, River
and Front streets, was taken out last
night when two ang of workmen
met between River and Front streets.
An impromptu celebration followed.
For several minutes preceding the
meeting six workmen on each side
could hear the sound of the force COM
ing to meet them as they burrowed in
the earth. Last Saturday the gang
working from Second street in the di-
rection of the river completed it's
work by running into the open tunnel
where n of the bangs that met last
night had begun. This was at River
street.
Owing to the greater amount of
that was encountered by the
gang working from River toward
Front street the workmen tunnelling
east from Front toward River street
covered the greater distance by sew
eral feet. Last nights meeting COM
pletes one of the most interesting en-
gineering operations ever undertaken
in Harrisburg. 1t was begun in May.

Austrian Troops on
Way to Frontier of
Serbia 2 Corps Strong
By Associated Press

Berlin, July 2S.-Reports rom the
Austrian border to-day State that the
transport of the eighth and ninth Aus
trim army corps from Bosnia toward
the Servian frontier began yesterday
and there vas no other traffic on the
bohemian road except that of troop
trains.
The two corps consist of thirty-two
battalions of infantry with a large
number of quick firing machine guns
SIX regiments of cavalry, two regi-
ments of field artillery and two regi-
ments of the army service corps.
T~elegraphic communication with
Carlsbad II M~arienbad was still open
to-day but only by one direct line from
service between Berlin and Vienna was
demoralized and on some lines was
completely interrupted.
The Militier-W ochenblatt, the off
clal military weekly newspaper to-
day prints a noteworthy article com
pairing Austria Hungarian and Rus
sian armies to the disadvantage of the
latter. 1t says the fighting strength of
the Russian army is usually over esti-
mated and that numbers alone are not
decisive. More important factors, it
points out, are moral, higher leader
shi and armament. The writer says
it may well be remembered that in
recent times Russia alone never de-
feated any army of equal rank and
not have ben successful in de-
feating the Turks in the war of 1877
If she had not been aided by Rouma-
nia 1t says in conclusion that the
five new army corps reported to have
been added to the Russian army are
still nonexistent.
One of the newspapers here to-day
received a dispatch saying that Rus
STA had declared war on Austria but
declined to print it as there was no
confirmation.

Germany Refuses

Berlin. July 28.-The German gov
eminent to-day returned an unfavor-
able reply to the British proposal for
a conference of the ambassadors in
London of the European powers in an
endeavor to bring about a settlement
of the Austro-Servian difficulty.
In it's communication Germany de-
clares that 1t considers the suggestion
of Sir Edward Grey, the British For
eign Secretary, as we'll meant and in
good principle, but not feasible in
practice and impossible to carry out.
1t said that 1t cannot be expected
that a great power having a dispute
with a smaller neighbor will submit
the matter to the decision. of a Euro

Amendment to Porch
Ordinance Is Offered

When the ordinance regulating the
building line for porches was read this
afternoon an amendment was offered
as prepared by Commissioner II. f.
Bowman which will permit the con-
struction of porches in specified
streets in which porches now exist to
twenty-nine inches beyond the present
building lines. In streets where streets
do not now extend over the building
line, the extension will not be permit
ted.
The amendment was agreed after a
careful investigation by Commissioners
Bowman, Building Inspector Grove
and Commissioner Lynch. The amend
ed measure, 1t is believed, will find
favor in the yes of builders and
alike. Incidentally it will
solve the Crescent street problem
which grew out of j. c. Costello's de-
mand that the houses adjoining his
be restricted to the building lines in
accordance with the measure Of 1894.
