AFLOAT IN STANDPIPE.
Narrow Escape from Drowning of +. O.
Gould of Old Town.

F. Otis Gould, manager of the Old
Town City hospital, had a narrow es-
cape from drowning in the new stand
pipe of the Public Works Co. on Acad-
envy hill, at about II O'Clock Tuesday
morning. When discovered, Mr.. Gould
was in most exhausted condition, and
it was with considerable difficulty that
the doctors revived him.
Mr.. Gould, who lives very near the
stand pipe, climbed down the ladder.
Tuesday morning. for a final inspec-
ton of the pipe before it was filled later
in the forenoon. He was walking about
on the bottom of the pipe, when sud-
denly he heard a valve open and the
water came rushing into the tank.
Luckily, he saw plank laying on the
other side of the pipe and when the
water began to rush about him, he ran,
falling on the plank. The water by
this time had gradually risen and was
up several feet in the pipe.
At the time of the turning on of the
water. Mr. Gould was on the opposite
side of the tank, and when the water
rose higher and higher. he kicked and
finally landed on the side nearest the
workmen on the outside. He hit the
plank against the walls of the pipe and
after several minutes ne was rewarded
by seeing a man appear on the top OF
the pipe above him. The water was
then nearly 50 feet deep in the pipe and
it was with some trouble that MIR.
Gould was finally thrown ropes and
pulled from his precarious position.
When taken from the tank he was
well nigh exhausted and was attended
by DR.. Goodrich of the City hospital
staff. 1t will be but a few days before
Mr.. Gould will recover from the acct
dent.
After Mr.. Gould was rescued from the
pire, the water was again turned or
and the pine filled to the top, making

Tuesday was the first complete day
which the I'd Regiment has had in
camp, and Col. Newcomb made the
most Of it. In the forenoon battalion
drills We're had and much progress was
made by the men. In the afternoon
company and battalion drills We're had.
Capt. Cloman took the Sd Battalion in
charge for a While and gave it quite a
drill. Prior to doing so he had the
three majors I'D at headquarters and
gave them some advice In regard to
movements of the troops on the field
He found these officers well informed
as to their duties and vet anxious to
learn all that they should know.
Col. Kendall of the LIST Regiment has

spectators.

the surgeon on duty at the hospital and
when he found the young man was suf-
fering from measles had him isolated
in one of the hospital wards, where he
is in charge of an immune from the

not think there is any danger of infec-

advanced for that. Lieut.. Chandler

There are $40 men in camp, a some
what larger number than was here last
