Note these prices; they are not to be equaled elsewhere:' Boston, Mass., June 20.—The new Boston railroad tunnel threatens to collapse. At 1 o'clock this morning, as as the result of an accident in the tunnel, caused by a compressed air stream striking a vein of earth that yielded, surrounding surface property began to settle. One tnan was killed and several injured. The occupants of buildings in the vicinity have abandoned them. At the corner of State street and Atlantic avenue, a section of street 20 or 30 feet long gave way, dropping ten feet or more. The surrounding property is slowly Binking. The new abutments for the Oak St. bridge of the Laurel Line, are being rapidly completed and In a short space of time everything will be ready to place the bridge. The abutment on the west side of the street has already been completed. The one on the east side of the street is a decided improvement on the old one of the Brie railroad, which cut off a corner of Oak street, to the decided disadvantage of the street. The wall rfow being built has two angles on th6 Oak street end and, instead of taking part of the street, it turns backward from the street and makes a very flne curve at the corner. The stone work is of the highest class. New York, June 20, 1903. High. Low.
