The miners who are rctimbering the Con-
solidated virginia shaft can work only few
minutes at time. and, TO do this are obliged
to use Immense quantities Of ice. They not
only swallow lee water by the gallon, but also
pour it over each other by buckelsful Without
ice nothing could be done in tho heated lower
levels of our mines When work was first COM
mcnced on the COmstock. ice was the last thing
any one would have thought Of rs necessary for
mining and not few looked upon tho furnish
ing OF ice water to miners as a bit of extraya-
gance. Many stockholders thought 1t was n
luxury that might DO withhold without much
incompetence to any one; but ms the heat in
creased. II soon became apparent that lee was a

window. which Is an aperture OF no more than
six inches in height and several feet in length

strips OF bedclothes dangled from the window
70 the ground. Quickly divining that Gibbons
had flown. he and the wardens son made a
hasty examination Of the cell. Thinking that il
which at the lowest point are twenty feet in
height. thorough search was made in the yard
and Jointcd pole OF some four feet in length

Of the Jail buildings
Gibbons had evidently carefully planned his
escape. The pole with which h. had effected

could be slowed away and take w but little
space. II Is the opinion of the Jail officials that
gibbons had confederatcs on tho outside who
were prepared 10 meet him with civilians

escape. Some timo ago Gibbons with several
other prisoners. laid plan TO escape, and had
caught, Several Of tho Mollics that have been
hanged were in this conspiracy, After that
Gibbons professed to turn over Il now leaf and
said that he did not intend to do anything con-
trary 70 prison rules Indeed, he went so far as
TO make u confession To- the officials explaining
70 them the different plans he had laid to gain
his freedom. The vigilance Of the warden and
Keepers was, however, not relaxed, and Glib
bons was pald more attention than any other
prisoner In the Jail.
He was sentenced to seven years imprisOn-
ment on the 10th Of October, 1876, for aitcmpt-
ing. with several other M0llics TO kill William

TIE BLUE AND GRAY.-Sixty Of our gal
liant soldiers left for Marietta Yesterday.
About twenty-six or twenty-eight OF the
Mathews Light Guards, under command
OF Capt, J. B. Lukens, together with the
Gatling gun in charge of acting Lieut..
Byron Baguley, and about the same num-
Der of Goff Guards, under command OF LIST
Lieut.. II. P. Mayer, and the drum corps OF
the regiment under the direction OF Drum
Maj. Dean, took passage on the Q. w.
Hornbrook and barges. Corporal Frank
Wallace, OF the NJ. L. g., will act as Quar-
ter Master to the battalion during the en-
campment. They will arrive at Marietta
tonight and return on Friday. Quite q
number OF distinguished persons are ex-
pected and will be present during the Re-
union.
Before the military arrived at their
place of embarkation n few stragglers
could be seen on the barge awaiting deyel-
opments. On one end was the Gatling
gun, and saddlcsa and harness for the horses.
On the other could be seen valises,
bundles, carpet sacks and various other
war implements. One valisc had beside
1t q forlorn looking watermelon, which, no
doubt, was to play an important part on
the trip down the beautiful Ohio. The
members of the various companies now
began to arrive by twos, fves and so on,
tugging tin cans, canteens, and other bun:
dies, the whole presenting IN animated
appearance. Every convenient spot was
taken up to store away their baggage. All
appeared to be in good humor and bent on
having agood time, which, from all appear
ances the boys are going to have. pi
