SAVED FROM RUIN
Undermining of Winchester Cath
edraI Stopped by Cement.
For Many Years the Historic Building
Has Been Cracking, Bullying and
Settling, Threatening to Col
lapse Completely.

London.-After a period of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on a solid and immovable foun-
dation, saved from threatened ruin.
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements of a diver in regula-
tion dress have been watched with Gu
rious interest as he entered or emerg-
ed from the water beneath the founda-
tions Of the cathedral. He was at
work helping to save from ruin one of
England's noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue of the under
taking has been celebrated by a
thanksgiving service in the cathedral.
For several years the dean and chap
ter of Winchester had been watching
ominous signs, such as cracks, bulg-
ings and settlements, sure harbingers
of collapse of the cathedral. From
the interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider. The walls on
the south side and the Norman tran
septs, unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riven in all directions.
The massive masonry of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery,
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug into the founda-
tions revealed the cause of the whole
trouble-water-an acting on expert
advice, holes were dug in sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat. Then it was the
work of the diver in his usual diving
dress to enter the hole, remove further
layers of peat SO as to allow the water
to rise into the cavity, and then to lay
a flooring of cement to prevent the wa
ter from sinking back into the gravel.
After the imprisoned water had been
removed by pumping the cavity was
filled up with brickwork in cement.
This extended from the floor laid by

Men who have grown gray remember
Thomas Marshall as boy, but he was
too young when his folks left for him

The building in which he was born
was moved from its first location to
give room to a business building, and
was occupied for several years by
John H. Shively, but when he wanted
to build new home to take the place
of the old building, it passed into new
hands, being sold to Bart Krisher, son
Of D. w. Krisher. He moved it to its
present location, made few repairs,
put on some fresh paint and the house
is as neat and attractive in looks to-
day as many of the newer buildings
around it.

MANS SIGHT is RESTORED
Fall Against Door Gives George Nor
gan Hope for Complete
Recovery.

Wilmington, Del.-Becoming totally
blind fourteen weeks ago, George
M. Morgan Jr, aged twenty-three
years, 1851 East Thirteenth street, had
his sight restored to him through an
accident. About eleven years ago Nor
gan was struck in one eye with a
stone a small boy had thrown at a
freight car. His sight was badly af-
fected and last September he went
to st. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore
to have his eye treated. While sitting
in his boarding house fourteen weeks
ago he suddenly became totally blind
without any warning whatever.
He came to this city to visit his
parents on June 20, and he tripped
over rug and fell, his forehead strik-
ng q door-jamb with much force.
When he arose he found that he could
see the daylight and later develop
ments showed that he could see bet
ter than before he went to the hos
pital last var.
He intends to return to the hos
pital to continue the treatment. al
though the physicians told him they
did not think he ever would be able
to see again. His mother was at
market at the time of the accident
nd could not believe her sons glad

he told her the color of her hat and
dress and described other things in

the cathedral, showing like roof Of
rock overhead.
While the work underground was be-
ing carried on, patiently and thor
oughly, seven anxious years, the
cracks in the walls, vaultings and
arches of the fabric were welded by
the injection Of liquid Portland cement
from squirting machine, process
known as grouting, capable of being
so manipulated as to fill either shall
low crack or rent through the thick
ness Ct a massive wall.
Every crevice is now being repaired,
every flaw and displacement remedied,
every trace of instability in the foun-
dations removed, and the cathedral
seems to stand as solidly as the
strongest building in the kingdom.

PRISONER, FREE, COMES BACK
Workhouse Trusty Returns After Trip
to Town for Sup
plies.

st. Louis, Mo.-Alexander Hunter,
who still had sixteen months of a
workhouse sentence to serve, is pur-
suing plan of behavior which will
win for him probably an early parole.
When the city authorities decided
to turn Chesley island into a farm
where inebriates could be kept, it's
superintendent, Calvin J. White, de-
cided to send Hunter to the farm as
a trusty to supervise the work.
Hunter cheerfully accepted the task
and began to build a fence. The posts
having been put down, he found him.
self in need of wire stretcher.
Taking boat, he rowed alone and
unmatched down the river to Kimms-
wick, but could not find what he
wanted there. He then took a train,
came to st. Louis, bought the wire
stretcher and returned.
"How in the world did you get
here?" Superintendent White asked
when he stepped off the car and went
to the workhouse. Game up on the
train," Hunter answered.
What do you want?" White asked.
Hunter explained and was returned
the money he had spent for car fare.
He went back to the island and now
reports that he has most of the wire
around the new stockade put up.
Hunter was sentenced to two
years term in the workhouse on four
charges of larceny, six months on each
count.
