WOMEN'S DUEL TO DEATH.

clime in the open street took place
in the Ree do Bornly, when two wo-

the hatpins broke, and ono of the

LONDON NEARING RUIN
NETWORK OF BORES BENEATH:
METROPOLIS.
St. Paul's and Westtninister Ab-
bey Are Showing the
Effeets.
The old cry again is raised of the
dangers attending the undermining
of London by a honeycomb of under-
ground electric railways, which is
proceeding apace.
St. Paul's Cathedral, the (tank of
England attd Westutinstcr Abbey all
are reported in imminent danger,
and this time the alarm appears
Justified regarding St. Paul's, not-
withstanding the denials of tho cath-
edral authorities.
SITUATION 18 SERIOUS.
Experts remain insistent that the
danger has become serious. The
fouttdatior.n are sinking as the nat-
ural and inevitable consequence of
tho pumping which has accompanied
tho work of driving the various tun-
nels that have been constructed and
the others which aro stilt In progress
in the immediate vicinity. the ex-
perts go further and sty this inces-
sant tunneling which is proceeding
in all parts of London is undermin-
ing the metropolis.
Tho Bank of E:ngtand and several
other Important buildings have been
supported by underpinning from time
to time. Since the first of the tun-
nelitg of the last year or so was
undertaken ominous fissures have
been discovered in the fabric of St.
Paul's, These aro especially notable
in the stone work of the southern
transept, where one wall in particu-
lar has receded some inches from the
perpendicular.
CATIIEDRAT. IS IN PERIL.
That a far greater danger is im-
minent, however, is the deliberate
opinion of exports who have con-
ducted an examination within the
last few days, for tho cross and
ball which surmount rho dome now
aro three feet out of the perpendicu-
lar.
This Is tho conclusion arrived at
by Frederick. lfovendetf, secretary of
the London Institution, after spend-
ing two years in finding a plumb
lino among the adjacent buildings
In order to gauge the devlat.loh. Mr.
Hovoaden asserts that it the Nelson
Column were as much out of " the
perpendicular it soon would be in
the sti eet.
On►lnous cracks also are appearing
in the walls of Westminster Abbey.
The authorities undingnisodly are
much concerned about the state of
affairs there and are having an ex-
amination made by experts.
Asked how do tho various burrow-
ings cauno these subsidences and
consequent danger to London build-
ings, Mr. ITovonden said:
"In the case of St. Paul's, which
is built upon a foundation of pot
earth, under which is a bed o,( wa-
ter bearing gravel and sand and be-
neath
o-ninth which again is the London
clay, the danger is caused by grav-
el tad sinking owing to its moisture
being withdrawn. Tho moisture in
tho gravel bed has been drawn oil
by the pumping for the vtnrlous tun-
nels tt•hith run in tho and
luso by tho percolation through
sewer
worklarge sc o
t (trick of the
11c
which runs about thirty yards on
the south stile of tho cathedral."
WA'FI• It 11l•1NG DRAWN OFF.
But. all over London, Mr. t ilo'. en -
den asserts. the water in the gravel
bed nn the top of the London clay
is being drawn o'r. The hitherto
impervious London clay disturbed
by the sinking of shafts and tunnel-
ing Ilan been rotted and largo qunn-
tillea of water have fallen from tho
gratel and sand strata beside tho
iron tubas to n lower level,
in the building of these under-
ground lines the pumping has been
kept up night and day to enable the
work to proceed unintc•, rupterlly.
Lower water courses have leen form-
ed in every direction in which tho
tube railways penetrate, the water
sinking through the rotting clay
beside the vertical shafts and run-
ning alongside the tubnt themselves
at a depth of eighty to a hundred
feet.
A further proof that this water
has -itithdrawn lies in the fact that
t.riinerous shallow wells which tttud-
(101 tho city a few years ago now
have run dry.
