"Brien, the suspended sub- inspector, Just before that passed on over the hill and out of sight. The Howard University shaft 18 located within the reservoir ex. cavation and will ultimately form the connecting shaft ‘through which the water wili rise from the tunnel into the reservoir, if the work is ever satisfactorily completed. Iv 1s a deep hole, going down 145 feet into the earth, Just as Lieut, Townsend's horse and buggy came over the hill Chief Inspector Kerlin and Mr. Clark the engineer for the contractors, came up out oi this hole in one of the cages or elevators, Chief Inspector Kerlin stopped to. draw fda in ‘some sand with his stick to illustrate to a SraR re- porter the location and character of the hole that was found. When the Heutenant arrived Mr, Ker- lun reported to him, GOING DOWN THE SHAFT, ‘Then a party was organized to accompany the Meutenant down into the ground to see the hole, Messrs. Kerlin and Clarke went, and, as usual, 9 reporter, In this part of the tunngl ‘the Tork isicomnpieted, oF said to be fora distance of about 3,500 feet, ‘When the party descended at noon to-day, a thin stream of water was running in the bottom from the west toward the shaft. About firty yards or so from the shaft was adam Dulit across the tunnel, and beyond this for some distance the water was nearly to one’s foot-tops. But the party splashed on toward the hole, At last the front was reached where a scaffoidin; was erected, and two colored workmen having cut a large aperture in the brick, were resung their toll, ‘LOOKING INTO THE CAVITY, ‘The Meutenant climbed upon the scaffolding, Mr. Clarke climbed up, Mr. Kerlin climbed upon it too, and the reporter then ascended to the same height, Catef Inspector Kerlin flashed his light up into the cavity above tue arch. “There 1t 1s,” he said, He looked around with an air of satis faction. This 1s the place,” said Lieut. Townsend to a Stan reporter. ‘The special interest in the arose from the fact thut there, or in that vicinity, iL had been represented that a cavern existed '40 feet high. Lieut, Townsend 8,4 the place opened to-4ay was, as néar a8 could be figured out, the place that was meant At ‘thls point’ old work and new work had been Joined to~ gether, The brickwork had to ‘be finished 80 as to leave alittle hole at the side where the Jast man engaged in packing came out before the hole was closed up. The packing over this place, and for sore distance down on the aide, seemed to have been negicted. Mr. Kerlin estimated the distance between the -vricks and the rock above at. from 15 to 18 inches, _In other words, a vacant space of 15 to 18 inches was left there, Tuis extended from the center of the arch down on one side, a distance of 8 or 9 feet, and longitudinally a dis. tance of 5 fect. On all’sides was apoarenuly solid masonry. Whether this seemingly solid masonry Was a mere bulkhead or sham such has been found to exist elsewhere in the tunnel today’s dis closures did not determine, ‘THE ADJACENT WORK. It is said by the Kendalls and others that the work in this partof the tunnel, which was ine spected by O’Brien, is extremely bad, and that in one place, for @ distance of 200 feet, the space above thé arch has been left unpacked, except that here and there che deceptive bulkheads or bridge walls have been put in Lieut, Townsend seemed pleased to-day that the hole discovered Was not of the magnitude that the descriptions published warranted one in expecting. “A yard and @ half of masony would Ml it, wouldn’t it, leutenant?” said Mr. Kerlin, peering up into the hole. ‘There was a note of satistaction in his volce. ‘The expected cavity had dwindled from an immense cavern to a smail hole, As tun- hel inspecters have not had much to console themselves with this shrinkage of the cavern Was made the occasion of something resembling mir ‘The Heutenant adjusted his glasses and flashed his light again into the hole before replying to the chief inspector. “Well,” he said, finally, “Iv might, A yard and a half might Gill it.” ON TOP AGAIN. ‘The Ueutenant then got down from the scaffold- ing. Mr. Kerlin got down; Mr, Clarke got down, and THe Stax reporter got down. They waded back to the shaft and rose to the surface of the earth. ‘The leutenant, perhaps, did not care to Tun the risk of making discoveries that might Spoll the pleasant effect of the shrinking of the cave, “He said he would return to the office. He was in doubt what further he would do in the way of exploration, and would await instructions from Major Lydeckér. As the ieutenant expects the congressional committee will at once begin its in vestigation he 1s not decided whetner vo go on or ‘not. ‘The hole opened to-day was undoubtediy a bole indicating carelessness or criminai - complicity on the part of the sub-inspector. In magnitude, Low. ever, it did not compare with other caverns left in O’Brien’s part of the work near Champlain avenue, ‘THE INSPECTION CONCLUDED. Maj. Lydecker went down the Howard University shaft this afternoon and looked at the hole opened there, Lieut, Townsend was in his office this afternoon, engas on his report of his tour of in- spection in yg It may go to Maj. Ly- decker Ubis evening. Lieut, Townsend said to a Star reporter that he would not go down into the tunnel any more for the purpose of drilling through the brickwork. ‘What he had done during the last fortnight was enough he said to show the character of the work, und be would not gain anything’ if he should oun- tinue two months longer in the same crude way. ‘The questions now were what the con- gressional committee would do, and what Should be done to repair the bad work.
