Townsend Goes Down te Begin His GINNING AT A POINT FIVE HUNDRED PRET FROM THR CHAMPLAIN AVENUE SHAPT—AN EXAMINATION THAT MAY REQUIRE WEEKS. “Yes, I'll go down to-day,” said Lieut, Town- send, when a Star reporter met him at the aque- duct office about 1 o'clock. He referred to the aqueduct tunnel, and his purpose was to begin the excmination to determine the truth of the charges that work on the brick lining and tunnel- ing has been done carelessly and slightingly. Lieut. Townsend was not well to-day, and 1s under the doctor's care. He came to the office with his throat bound up, and so there was some doubt about hs venturing into the damp, lugubrious depths of the tunnel, It 13 no damper Inside the ‘tunnel to-day,” he remarked ‘than outside.” 80 the eutenant ordered his buggy up, put on an oid coat, exchanged bis derby for a slouch hal drew on'a pair of rubber boots, and, thus arm against the slush and the smut of'the tunnel, Grove his gray mare out to the Champlain avenue AT THE SHAFT. There a group of reporters, Mr, Palmer, one of the subcontractors, a representative of Beckwith & Quackenbush, were waiting for the lcutenant. Down at the bottom of the deep shart were lurid spots representing workingmen with smoking lamps in their hats. ‘The party with the lieuten- ant huddled together in the greasy, black cai ‘and were shot down the shaft tothe level of the tunnel. ‘They carried smoking miner's lamps and presented a sirange looking sight. ‘They fol. lowed the Meutenant through a long stretch of damp tunnel, now and then wading turough mud or balancing themselves on the railing. A cat, drawn oy a Weird looking mule, rapidly appeared out of the darkness, “It took up’ nearly the whole section of the tunnel, so the visitors had to fatten themselves out against a damp side wall, WHERE THE WORK WAS BEGUN, Five hundred feet east of the shaft the lieutenant stopped. ‘This was the point where he proposed to begin bis Work of drilling through th- brick arch, and the rubble masonry packtng above, to sce whether any interstices had been ieft untlued be- tween the brick Work and the solid rock above. At tls point there was a white mark on the wall, Uke a tile-post, Indicating the distance from thé shaft. ‘There were laborers present to assist Lieutenant ‘Townseud, and he seon laid out his plan of work, which wasextremely simple, ‘Timber was already on hand for constructing a scaffolding on which his men could work, Licut. Townsend arranged matters so as to begin this afternoon, and ex- pected when Tux Stax reporter left vb drill at least one hole through to the solid rock. ‘The plan is to have two workmen to drive an Ordinary, 21ach hand drill through the key of the brick arch overhead and through the masonry above. The extent of the masonry fMiltag ot course varies, as in blasting in ‘some parts more rock would come out than in others Lieut, ‘Townsend began at point in question because it was there that some of the Work is found that is brought tuto question by the charges referred to in yesterday's Stax. At Uhls point there are side walls of stone masonry eignteen inches thick, trom which springs the arch of brick foriming’ the roof of the tunnel, ‘There are two rings of brick : 1T MAY TAKE WEEKS, Lieut, Townsend, talking with THe Star reporter, said Uhat uls investigation may require weeks. ‘The drilling 1s a slow process, It will take an hour or more for each hole, and tt may be neces- sary to drill a great maty holes. ‘Tue secuon of Work that he will first examine ts about 800 fect long. ‘The work may be delayed some, wo, he thought, because the “seaffoid Will be ti, the Way of the éars that have to Tun through the Uunnel in conneciion With the work going on, Uniess the scaffold is very near the roof it will be an obstruction, and if it 1s placed near the root the men Will not have room to operate the drill on it, Heuce it 1s possibie that tie Work of investt- gation, Or most o1 it, may have to be done Ou Sunday, Wueu the workinen are not engaged in the tunnel, NOT INFORMED OF THE CHARGES. ‘Major Lydecker, who isin charge of the aque- uct, sald this afternoon that he had not yet had apy official notice that any charges had been made respecting the work in the \unnel. eee THE LIBRARY BUILDING, An Entirely New Plan Agreed Upon for ite Construction, The conferees on the sundry civil bill this afternoon came to an agreement on the great point of —_ difference between the House and the Senate—tne con- struction of the new Library building. ‘They have agreed to an enurely new plan, which will do away with tue Library Cominission aud all of the official machinery, — pro- vided by the original law.
