Crcrxwatt, Feb. 22.—Tunnel No. 17, on the Cincinnati Southern road, near Sunburt, Tenn., is still burning. The fire was caused by a freight train collision by which a tank contain- ing 2,800 gallons of oil was broken and set afire, Loud explosions are heard every few minutes, indicating that the limestone, coal, and wood- work inside the tunnel are combining with the flames to make the tunnel a wreck. Nearly all hopes are lost of subduing the flames, for it is evident that two 12-inch coal veins are burn- ing and may continue todo so for months. | The idea is to flood the tunnel. Both ends have been dammed up, and two large streams of water have been turned inside. This water may fill the tunnel in a week. If this fails, an attempt will be made to smother the flames by sealing the ends of the tunnel and making it air- tight. The master car-builder of the road says the loss will not be less than $250,000, while General Road Master Mallane says it will amount to much more. stnaeiti Ae SHORT MANY THOUSANDS.

Mr. Bland Sige objected to the resolution on the ec that time of the House should be devoted to the consideration of ap- propriation bills and the California contested election case. The resolution was adopted. THE BILL TO PENSION MRS. SHERIDAN. Then Mr. Reed (Me.), from the committee on rules, reported a resolution for the immediate consideration of the Senate bill granting apen- sion to Irene Rucker Sheridan, Mr. Breckinridge (Ky.) raised the question of consideration, and on a division Mr. Cheadle, of Indiana, raised the point of no quorum, The House determined—yeas, 174; nays, 62— to consider the resolution.

WINTHROP—THE OLD OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY RE-ELECTED. The annual meeting of the Washington Mon- ‘ument society was held at noon to-day at the residence of Dr. Toner, on Louisiana avenue The members present were Hon. George Ban- ut | croft, ex-Secretary McCulloch. Judge Strong, Hon. Horatio King, Col. Berret, Dr. Toner. and Dr. Welling. There were no special exer- cises, the main subject under discussion being that of the proposed tablet to be placed in the monument containing the names of all the members of the society from its organization up to the present time. THE QUESTION OF cost. A question arose as to whether the commit- tee in charge of this matter, Dre. Toner and Welling, were authorized by the vote taken at the last mecting of the society to 1d with the execution of the tablet without being lm- ited as to price, provided it did not exceed $1,400. e secretary stated that he had made the record of the meeting with the impres- sion that the committee were not authorized to g0 on and compiete the Paw, but to ascer- tain whether the form and size could not be so changed as to bring the cost down toa satis- factory amount. His brief of the record was finally amended to give the committee the authority to act without any further himitation. He submitted 4 PROPOSITION FROM MR. J. A. SHEERAN, of this city, to provide a placque, smaller than at first contemplated, made of bronze, with sunken letters to be enameled in black, for $500. The society voted not to consider the offer in view of the instructions to the committee as finally adopted. THE OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. The old officers of the society were re-elected as follows: The President of the United States, President ex-officio; Senator Sherman, first vice-president; Hon.
