Some one has suggested that the

negro labor are quitting the farms for the
railroads, saw mills and other works Of the
kind. and there is really a scarcity of labor
in some states. which must be replaced
before next season. But the average Fill

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Robert G. Callum Almost Drowned in
Vault.

Mr.. Robert G. Callum, manager Of the
District Messenger Company of this city, is
reported to have had narrow escape from
drowning in a burial vault at Winchester
Va, Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Callum, it is
stated, was visiting his family at that
place and strolled through Mount Hebron
cemetery. He was inspecting a new mortu-
airy chapel, and descended into one of the
subterranean chambers which are intended
for the reception of dead bodies. About six
feet of water had collected there from re-
cent rains and had frozen.
Mistaking the ice in the darkness for
cement floor. Mr.. Callum walked upon it.
The ice broke and he fell into the water
and was completely submerged. He held
his head above water by grasping the ice
and was finally compelled to swim out of
the burial vault.
His arms and body were painfully bruised
by contact with the Ice and he was ex-
hausted from his thrilling experience.
