BURIED A DAY.
How John Gamble Was Dug Out OF tho
Earth at Montague.

The rescue of John Gamble, VINO was
buried forty feet from the surface by the
cave-in of well which he was cleaning
out at Montague on Saturday, was one
of the most remarkable ever recorded.
Gamble Was in his tomb from O'CLOCK
Saturday morning until O'CLOCK gun
day morning. Six or seven feet OF stone
work at the top of the well which was
frozen and did not fall made the unaef-
taking of rescue hazardous, and the e&-
cavation was begun at the SIDES. Az
niahtfall when within fifteen fact OF the
bottom the rescuers were both reJoicea
and startled to hear cry from the
man below, and from that time until d 10
q. m. heroic efforts were made.
It required nerve and coolheaoeuhese
upon the part of the men to descend ln'o
the deep pit at the risk of thsir o"n
lives. Danger threatened from the
overhanging rocks. At 10 O'CLOCK 'he
diggers came to CANDLES head, winch
was oramped by heavy stone, whlie Two
other stones were pressed against ono
back and one was cutting into his lore
head. His face was covered with ploou
aud sand, but he could move MS heau'
His arms were pinioned to his Sues anu
one hand damned between two rocks'
He was standing on one side OF the
well and wedged in firmly from DIS he'su
to his feet. When they reached MS knees
they tried to draw him up, but founa IL
impossible, and were obliged to dig still
further until they reached the bottom on
which he was standing. 1t was after
two O'Clock when he was lifted out OF
the pit.
A doctor had been summoned, ana
after careful examination declared no
bones broken. 1t seemed almost IN
credible. There was bad cash IN the
forehead and two other smaller ones Oh
the head, and his hands were terribly
bruised, Otherwise he was all right.
rhe workmen said that nsver In
tbousan d times could it occur and man
live in the condition and the sitting at
mosphere.
Gamble said It seemed at times as If he
should choke to death. His escape was
almost beyond the power of imagination.
The villagers wept for joy when his
rescue was finally effected.

ESPECIAL TO TEE PREss.J

Washington, February a3-The last
days OF the session being now at handIthe
House is experiencing the usual tumults
owing to the frantic efforts of mem bers
to get favorite measures passed. Under
such circumstances it always happens
that the leaders and the system of rules
come in for a large share Of intemperate
criticism from the disappointed mem
berE. During the present week there
has been notable outburEt of this kind.
Lit has been impotent because the good
Sense of the majority of the mem bers
always outweighs greatly the inconeider-
ate criticisms of the malcontents. Mr.
Walker. of the Worcester district of M AS
saohusetts, on this occasion as on sever
al other occasions, voiced this discomfort.
Mr.. Walker is very able man, of SPLEEN
did business success and ordinarily of
good Judgment. But he is one of those
men who want thing very much when
they want il. and intend to have it at
all odds. Moreover, he goes after what
he wants openly and frankly, striking
from the shoulder. withous descending
to subterranean intrigues or deceitful
back-bitings. So at times it happens that
he becomes a respected terror in the
House.
