The St. Golliarcl Tunnel ,
Correspondence of The l.onilon Tttiiri.
Six hours ill the bowels of the earth ,
attended with as severe physical exer
tion ns 1 ever Went through in the
snnio space of time ; six hours in an at-
imnphoro rapidly alternating between
v the hc. t of nu oven and the clammy
chill of a wet morning in late October ,
besides being thickly impregnated
with the smell of exploded dymimito
and the greasy , sickening smoke from
innumerable of lamps of the most
primitive construction ; in addition ,
no slight percentage of danger from
being crushed by pa'simr trains or
single trucks loaded with building ma
terial or debris , knocked in the held
by the pick of some vigorous work
man , unseen and unseeing , in th
gloom , or brained by a stone froi
the niched roof , loosened by mi es.
plosion of dynamite in the Moor boh
sijch are the necessary esperiencu
to bo gone through by an individiii
desirous of obtaining a ( horoug
knowledge of the present condition i
this most gigantic enterprise.
On arriving in the Alpine village <
Gosslienen the travolorwhohas visile
the western frontier districts t
America will be shuck with the re
semblance of thin place to the settle
meiits in the western wilds which ar
just beginning to assume the garb
civilization Regularly-built ston
houses and hotels are siuioundcd b ,
wooden shanties of simple , unplatie
board construction , with the interim
fitted ( with rough tables , benches an
sleeping bunks for the aecommodiitioi
of tlio workmen in the Swiss end o
the tunnel. The engineer's ollice o
the tunnel division is a small barren
looking room , in which 1 found Monsieur
siour Xollingcr , in charge of this portion
tion of the line , who not only readilj
acceded to my request to visit the tun
up ] , but volunteered to take mo will
him on his tour of inspection , whicl
ho repeat ? four times per week. A
2 p. m. 1 was shown into a grimy
loom containing a bench , rough waah
stand and a gr.itinp , behind which a
stock of dingy clothing wa
hanging. This was thu "dressing
room , " whore necessary propara
tionsaro nmdo before entciing tin
ya wiling mouth of thu tunnel. Iliac
put on my long war boots and with a
waterproof coat considered mysel
capitally equipped for any subtenaue
an exploration. To my surprise , JI
Xollinger directed me to doll'my water
proof as well as my coat , felt hat am
tie. M. Xolliuger himself donned
rough garb , anil then needed his spec
taclus to oven faintly distinguish bin
from any ordinary "navvy. " With a
greasy cap and well-oiled and tarrei
blue linen blouse , I mounted the lit
tie locomotive which was to trans
port our train to thu point'whero the
compressed air locomotive would relieve ;
lievo it. Aa wo scramble into the
corners of tJie dirty machine , I couli
not help contrasting M. Jjollinger'f
equipment and ine.uis of making hi ?
rounds of inspection with those whicl
an American engineer would have
sported in Hko circumstances. The.
latter would have invented a natty
dross , suitable for the work , yet readi
ly distinguishable from the workmen's
garb ; thou hs would have had a ligh
steel hand car , with cushioned scats
for throe persons , and cranks for two
moil to work the machinery behint
him. This car could bo easily liftec
off and on the track when trains were
encountered , nnd the engineer woulc
have nmdo his rounds in ono quarter
the time nnd with one-tenth the physi
cal wear and tear of the St. Gotlmrt
member of the fraternity.
The tunnel is perfectly straight from
end to end , and the engineers met cacl :
other so accurately that their centre
lines were within a hand's breadth ol
an exact coincidence. As the head
ings approached each other , the explo
sions of dynamite were distinctly aud
ible through nearly -400 metres (1,325 (
feet ) of intervening rock. The total '
length is 15 kilometres (0 ( 1-3 miles ) . ' .
The grade ascends uniformly from
Goschcnen to the summit of the tuu-
nol , which is 1,154 metres nbovo thu n
sea level , and 45 metres (148J ( feet )
above Goschonen ; while it is only iiino
metres above the mouth nt Airoio. '
The ascent from Goschonon to the
summit is 5.85 per cent , while thu de 111
scent to Airoio is 1.25 per cent. The
summit of the tunnel is 300 metres
(090 ( feet ) beilow the surface at Andor- ng
nmtt , and 2,000 meters (0,000 ( feet ) be ta
neath the peak of Kastelhorn of the St.
Gothard group. This tunuol summit
> 101
is 1,154 metres , the Mont Ccnis Tun'
usu
n el summit is 1,338 metres , and the will
Pacific Railway summit is 2,513 mo if
ires above the sea level. There are no ft.he
air shafts in the St. Gothard Tunnel ,
; he
the two entrances being the only open hei
. When thomecliRuic.il
ings. operations all
cease inside , and the many existing ob si
structions to a f reo passage of air , such was
as scaffoldings , heaps of debris and un vas
finished parts nearthccentro , are done ha
away with , thorn will nothing un ca
pleasant in the passage tji rough this caot
tremendous tunnel , which is 2,700 ou
metres ( Ijj miles ) longer than that ft
through Mont Cenia ,
ou
The engineers assort that the tunnel vhi
will bo ready for traffic by the first of ou
-January next , although the whole line ial
from Lucerne to Biasca will not bo itt
opened until next July. Although ut
this great enterprise is successfully approaching CO
preaching completion , and that is the eel
best evidence of good management , ho
there is room lor some improvement th
in what may bo called the niceties of PP
construction. The means of access to nd
the tunnel could bo advantageously ndWi
improved. There is to much delay in ia
getting the shifts of men to their work , uciU
much valuable time being lost at thu U
points where they have to change lit
trains. Another thing struck mo as no
being desirable , _ There wan a certain bli
absence of clearing in the '
up com roi
pleted portions of the tunnel , nnd luv
this , of course , necessitates need CSS
less expense in sending gangs rop.
of men to places where there
should bo nothing to do. There is ulk
nothing to prevent the ballasting "
being finished wherever thu tunnel is rom
completed , and the temporary track ,
transferred to this improved surface , out
would bo much safer , and fewer acci air
dents , with consequent loss of lifo nnd 10
money , would occur. Thoto is also
an absence of scientific methods of
lighting the great passage. Moray ley
would liavo been saved by a moro
general system of illumination. In us
fact , tlio general impression niado up 'ow
on a foreign professional mind in that
of "miin strength and awkwardness" uln
Y to a greater extent 111 in ono would ot
expect to find in this highly inventive lem
and suggestive age. There is no doubt i
in my mind that n largo majority of
the cases of injury to the employes
has been duo to the absence of n general
oral system of lighting the tunnel , nud
of those more scientific details em
braced in my phrase of "tho nicest of
construction. "

Conccrninir wido\ycd nnd bachelor
prjsittents in the White lloiiso , The
Wnsliington Star makes the follow ing
intoiesting meinor.inda :
"Instead of assorting , ns a writer in
a JJoston paper does , that President
Arthur U the third widower who has
held the office within twenty-live
years , it would be luoro correct to say
that he is the second unmniriod man
who has been president since 1857 ,
for President liuchnnan was a bache
lor , not a widower ; and , as is well
known here , President Johnson
whom the writer quoted mentions ns
a widower , had his wife with him
throughout his administration , though
she w.is too much of nn invalid to as
sume the duties of lady of the White
House , which lier daughters , Mrs.
Patterson and Mrs , Stover , gr.ico-
fully discharged. Mis. .lohnson did
however , appear at ono of the after
noon receptions at the White House ,
and the wiitor hereof talked with her.
It was during the last winter of her
husband's term. She was a sweet-
faced , srentlo-lookingohllady , tall and
quite slender , as the writer remembers
her. She sat on the divan in the blue
parlor during the reception , nnd
talked pleasantly with nil who approached
preached her , nnd always showed her
marked tespcct ns well as affection
When in her prime her intellect was .
of a high order.
"The presidents who have been
widower * during their term of service
ire Thomas Jefferson , whoso wife had
been dead about nineteen years when
! io was elected ; Andrew Jackson ,
whose wife died the winter after ho
was elected , and before ho was inau
gurated , and Martin Van Huron ,
ivhoso wife had been dead seventeen
years when ho was elected. John
1'yler lost his wife after he became
president , and married another the
tiummor befoie the expiration of his
term.
"General Harrison's wife was un
able to come here when ho came to bo
inaugurated , but was preparing to dose
so when she received news of his death.
His daughter-in-law , Sirs. Jane F. 1 <
Harrison , and several other ladies of
the president's family , were with him
during his brief term of one month.
Mrs. James Drooks , of New York ,
then a widow Mrs. Randolph was
there , as she was related to the presi
dent , and she once told the writer
that Mr. Brooks courte l her in the
gieen parlor of the white house , and .
heir engagement then began.
"President Taylor's wito was una
ble to ptcsido during his term , but was
iving , so says ono of our citizens ,
whoso good memory is proverbial , nnd
who know the family well. Colonel
LJliss' wife , General Taylor's daughter ,
presided for him.
"President Fjllmoro's wife died just
after his successor , General Pierce ,
was inaugurated. She died sit Wil-
iard'ii Hotel here , as she was too ill to
30 removed from Washington. Her
liealth hud not permitted her to go
into society , so her young daughter
liad officiated us lady of 'tho White
House. Tlio lat'eL" died , unmarried ,
nt twenty-two years of age , of cholera.
Mr. Filhnoro's widow , who died in
August last , was his second wife ,

Great Scarcity of Apples. Chr
'torn the New York Tribune. IXiv
"Good apples are going to bo JIH :
nighty ! scarce this year , remarked a Clej Fra
irominent shipper of fruit in Wash- I III
ngton market to a Tribune reporter liar
he other day. "The crop in this J
tatois the lightest Ihaveovorknown , Kdll

Mat
ort comes that there has been nn un- X
isual fulling oil'in the supply , which Olsc

"What is the cause of the failure of Hun
St

"In the first plnco , this is what is Tun
ailed an 'off year , ' and 1 must say it Thu
decidedly ! 'off. ' The crop last year The

Wei
the largest I have ever known Wee
hat shippers expected to iind a Wcl
carcity this season. There would bo Wa
unusual in the ordinary
ourse of events. But a second cause
the diminished supply is to bo
ound in the unprecedented drouth
vhich Imi prevailed in all parts of the
puntry this year , nnd espo- brui
ially in New York. The over
attor cause has most effectually chill
off what would otherwise have skin
icon a very fair average crop. Wo ante

pplcs which come from the northern
western counties are usually the
avpritcs in the market ; but a largo
mjprity ; of the shipments from thcno
ections this year uro so small and
tinted ! that they are hardly fit to bo I
upon the market. Occasionally n
lot is received , but wo have been
bligcd to get our best shipping apples

It will be seen that tlio quantity ex

tenth of that whii-li found its way
into foreign markets n year ago. It
is proDnblo that shipments henceforth
will be considerably diminished , as
the season is now almost ovor.
