the PeDnsy depot at an early hour this morn
ing, on his way to the Cambridge colliery,
when he got into a great drift. His efforts
to forge ahead were observed by people at
the railway station, and they realized that
James position was critical one, notwith-
standing he shouted that he could get along
all right and did not need assistance. John
II. Martin, the station agent NJ. j. Lawlor
and DIR. Erwin were among the spectators
and they went TO James assistance. Martin
took off his ulster and gave one end of it to
Messrs Lawlor and Erwin. The other end
he held himself and descended the embank-
ment towards the road until he could grasp
one of James hands. The latter was then
pulled up the embankment. His condition
showed that his rescue was none too soon.
He was dazed. When he was pulled out he
was to his arm pits in the snow.

NOT TO BE DIMMED.

Washington-A sort Of haunting fear
recently possessed the navy friends Of
Rear Admiral Sampson. 1t was the fear
that Rear Admiral Howison, on the Chi
cago would return from Rio Janeiro in
time to participate in the Dewey reoep-
tion festivities, The only thing that
made them uncomfortable was that
should he arrive, being senior rear ad-
miral, he would By virtue of his rank at
once assume command Of the fleet, par
ticipating in the event and completely
snuff out all OF he Sampsonian impor-
tance. But the navy department has
come to Simpsons rescue. 1t is an
nouuced that Howison will so time his
departure and rate OF speed as to arrive
in New York October 9th, several days
after the Dewey reception. Rear Ad-
miral Howison, instead of throwing
Sampson in the shade, will soon retire,
and the next naval register will show
Sampson one notch nearer to the much
coveted top.
