MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Mr.. Jacob Joyner Was Seven
Hours Under Water.
He Was Nearly Frozen and Had Almost Given
Up in Despair When Rescued
by His Son.

Greenville. y. c.. Jan. 13.-(Special.)-
Mr.. Jacob Joyner lives about three miles
from Greenvillc with his son, Mr.. O.. T..
Joyner. The latter, being proprietor OF
one of the tobacco warehouses here,
spends most of his time in town during
the day. This morning the elder Mr..
Joyner went hunting and not having re-
turned when his son reached home in the
afternoon the latter grew uneasy and
went to search Of him. After searching
for sometime the son heard cries, as from
some one in distress. coming from the low
the voice some distance through the
woods and at last found his father lying
in Il pond with his thigh broken and keep
ing his head above water by holding OF
to 4 log. 1t WAS then almost dark and
took an bour or more to get Mr.. Jovuer
back tofhis home.
In telling how the accident occurred
Mr.. Joyner said that about ten O'Clock
across the pond Oh Il log, but slipped and
fell, breaking his thigh in the fall. The
water where he fell was about three feet
deep, but he kept from drowning by hold
ing his body mp by the log. He began call
ing for help but was so far from home or
from any highway that NO one heard his
cries. For seven hours he remained in
the water, suffering almost the agonieS
of death. He had almost given up in
despair when he heard the voice of his son
in reSpOnSe to his cries.
AS soon as he was taken home physi-
clans were telephoned for, and they has
tened to relieve his suffering as far as
possible. The latest information from
him tonight is that he is resting as conn
fortably as could be expected under the
circumstances.

the Associated Press interviewed the
United States Ambassador, Mr.. Andrew
ID. White, today about the present status
Of the relations between Germany and
the United States. Mr.. White said:
The Samoa question between the
United States and Germany, the insur-
ance and sundry minor matters have
been happily settled. The main ques-
tons which remain are the commercial
treaty and The proper inspection OF
American meats. The former Will be
mainly considered at Washington. The
latter must depend upon the action Of
the ReichStag. Though the Agrarian
party shows bitter hostility to the allie
Walton of the present arrangement. so
oppressive to American interests, it is
hoped that the proposal made in Presi-
lent McKinley's message for the APP
pointment OF Z: special commission may
be accel ted. There is no doubt that the
Government. apart from the AgrarianS.
would be heartily glad 10 see some such
tair settlement

dismissal of political officials for voting
against the Canal Bill is considered to

Of the fact that it contains enormous
Improvement projects for the Eastern
provinces of Prussia.
The seizures Of German steamers by
British warships have had the. effect OF
intensifying and gpneral:z:ng anti
British sentiment in Germany.
Count Won Buelow's speech at the

terms Of friendship he devoted to the
United States, is much commented on by
the German press and with few eXcep-
lions apprOvingly.
Prussia has now begun appointing

ever, turned out rather unsatisfactory.
The correspondent Of tho Associated
Press learns from an official source that
Germany has addressed 4 second protest
to Great Britain. urgently requesting tho
release Of the German Steamer Bundles
rath, and expressing astoniSlment at the
undue delay. The protest also demands
guarantees from Great Britain against
Il recurrence Of such evident "Wrongfu
and excessive application Of q combat

1t also requests Great Britain to de
fine the meaning of c~ontraband in 4
manner acceptable to the nations no,

this meeting except two. The decision
to reopen the college on January Both.
as announced yesterday. was reached by
a unanimous vote. The report of the
board, was also adopted unanimously. 5
The reporter talked with Il majority Of
the directors, and they expressed gratIh-
cation at the interest manifested by
Greensboro people in the welfare of the
State Normal and Industrial College. \
committee of citizens. on behalf of them
selves and the Industrial and Inmigra-
tom Association appeared before the d.
rectors yesterday and gaye token Of their
interest in the matter. Among them
were: Mayor Taylor. X. K. King. c. NJ.
Nanstory. ]. w. Scott. Neil Ellington,
w. T.. BevilI. Col. w. II. Osborn. J.. NJ.
Hendrix, J. s. Hunter and Capt. j. W.

Superintendent Mebane, chairman Of
the board. addressed the committee. as
surfing them Of the appreciation on the
part Of the board of their interest and
sympathy. Mayor Taylor addressed the
board and spoke of the friendly attitude
Of the entire city toward the Normal Col
lege. which has always been regarded as
the pride of the city, as we'll as the State.
and IF the sincere sorrow felt by reason
Of the sad experience through which tn
college has just passed. Willing hands
have rendered their services. and the in
stitution was never dearer TO the hearts
Of the people of Greensboro than when
in the throes Of the disease which has
caused many hearts to mourn. The city
has taken no official action because 1t
was not believed to be her province &c d
so. the matter being i'll the hands of COM
petnet men-the board Of directors. Mr..
X. r.. King also made a few similar re-
marks. and the others in various ways
showed their interest.
McSSrs. Gilmcr. Gattis and Turner, Of
the Beard OF Directors, responded in
short speeches and We're proud of the
kind feeling manifesto by the people Of
Greensboro.
\ committee from the board Of alder
men. composed of MessrS. Hunter. Filing
ton and Phillips. was appointed at the
meeting last night to assure the dlrec-
tors of the hearty cooperation and SYM
pathy of the city government, and to aid
them in any way possible to further the
eoCd of the institution.
An impression that the city was not in
thorough sympathy with the college some
how gained currency. and these acts Of
fcctually put the brand of falSehoOd on
such report. The board of directors had
a duty to perform and people preferred
to let them do it before making any de-
monstrations. That the prOfolnidest
sympathy has existed throughout all the
trouble there is not the slightest reason
to doubt.

a 6o-day option on the old Daniels
copper mine in Mason Valley, and
expect to soon do some work on the

on it if their people conclude to pur-
