REFRESHMENTS. This concluded the proceedings of the afternoon part of the programme. And, by this time, the tables were ready for their insolvents, and were soon surrounded by those who seemed to appreciate what they were laden with. After 'ell had done ample justice to this feast of good things, the re- mainder of the time until the evening enter- tainment was commenced was Epent in social converse. On account of the cold it was not so pleasant loitering around as it would have been bad the evening been warm. But all seemed to take the situation philosopioally and many were heard to express thankful- ness that the proceedings bad, not been or- dered for the preeeding day, when there was,a contiquous and steady down pour of mite 9 THE NEW EmEDING. The new building is being erected at the north end of the present church edifice. It will communicate with the auditorium of the church at that end. It will be fitted up with all the modern appliances for Sunday school work, suoh as separate class roOme, etc. It will also contain a vestry room for the use of the pastor. The building will else be heated by hot air from a furnace in the , basement and lighted by aoytelene lights. The plans were prepared by Mr. H. Matthews' ' of London • the contractors are Mr.' R. Cu dmore and Meagre. Reynolds & Ingram, of Hensall. The cost of the struc- tures when finished will be about The building committee is composed .s fol- lowe Rev. Mr. McLennan, 'chairman; Mr. Balfour, treasurer, and Mr. T. N For- sythe, secretary, with Messrs. A. Bell, sr., R. p. Bell, McNevin, Elder and R. 1. Mc- Lean. It i3 also the intention to ha e the audience room* of the church heated by hot air and lighted by acytelene gas, and also to have it reconstructed and otherwiae im- proved. When these improvements are completed, St. Andrew's, Kippen, will ave one of the neatest, up-to-date and best equipped church edifices in this part of the couptry, which will be a credit to the 1 her- edity and zeal of the congregation, and a joy to the able and indefatigable pastor, Rev. MnildeLennan. THE EVENING MEETING. At eight o'clock the church was filled and the chair was taken by the pastor, R,v. Mr. McLennan, who, in his opening r arks expressed the gratification he felt t the suceess of the day's proceedings and stated his belief that this meeting wouldbe tepidly pleasant and profitable. Addresses brief and suitable to the occasion, were de ivered by Rev. Mr. Long, Methodist minis ,of Kippen . Rev. Mr. Shaw, Egmondville ; Rev. Mr. Cranston, Cromarty; Rev. Mr. Fletcher,,Thames Road ; Rev. Mr. Hender- son, Hensall • Mr. M. Y. McLean, Seafoith M and r, Rel;ert MoMordie, Kippen, the latter being one of those who had signed the call to Rev. Mr. Eakin 35 yearit ago. The churah choir, with Miss Crawfbrd as organist, gave several musical selections in a manner pleasing to the people and, which showed musical ability and careful tiaining individually and collectively. The day's proceedings, which vere a gratifying success throughout, were dosed by votes of thanks to various parties who had taken part in and contributed to the suocess of the celebration,and the singing of the National Anthem by the choir. The proceeds of the day atnounted to about $250 which speaks well for the generosity of the contributors. The corner stone is placed in the front wall, about 3 feet from the ground, and will be visible, from all parts of the front of the building.

ENTOMBED SIXTY FEET BELOW THE SURFACE FOR FIVE DAYS AND IfOUR NIGHTS. 9 Safely Rescued. The heroic efforts being made to reams Joehua Sandford from his living tomb in a well, on the Skelly farm, about three miles from Paris, divided public interest with the illness of the King during the closing days of last week. Last week we mentioned in a news para- graph that on the previous Tuesday a young -man named Sanford had been buried in a well near Paris, and that at the time the supposition was that he had been killed. Fortunately, however, this supposition has been proven incorrect, for the man has been rescued alive, after having been buried in , the well, sixty feet below the surfaoe, for one hundred hours. The thrilling particu- lars. will be found in the -following narrative: HISTORY OF THE CASE.: 9 Sanford had been employed for some time with Henderson & Company, well drillers, sef Branchton, the company had 'taken a contract to deepen, by boring, an old well on the Skelley, farm, in the township of South Dumfries near Paris, tenanted by Mr. George Scott. After four weeks of drilling, young John Henderson and Joshua Wanford, who were engaged in the Work, had failed to obtain water, and decided to pull up their casing and begin drilling in a new place. The old well, four feeb in dia- meter. 86 feet deep, and lined with brick, was dug 12 years ago. Henderson and Sanford had begun boring at the bottom of this well, that is, 86 feet below the surface, and in the four weeks that they had been at work their drill had penetrated to a depth of 170 feet. The boring, they had found, had been to a large extent through a quiok-sand formation. The two men had succeeded in releasing part of the casing— the outer pipe which protects the drill— when the casing parted and Sanforddescend- ed into the well to investigate the break. It appears that the action of the drill through the quick -sand bad been to bring up such a quantity of shifted sand as to create a cavity immediately under the well. THE WELL SINKS. While Sanford. was working at the casing, on the afternoon of Tuesday, the bottom of the well sank beneath him, the brick casing which oompoaed the sides fell in, bringing with it a large quantity of loose earth. Sanford was not at the bottom whet' the collapse occurred. He had noticed the pre- liminary signs of the sinking of the well, and in response to his danger signal he was being drawn rapidly to the surface by llen- derson,when he was caught in theavalanche of bricks and earth. Miss Bessie Qua, of Paris, who had just driven on the farm, was told of the accident, and she turned her horse and galloped him into to town in search of help. A large number of people from Paris soon gathered L 11 [ I 9 I i WRITING PAPER and ENVELOPES PAPATRIES In all the latest eilades and tints and ab iew prices. • and PADS ALEX. WINTE SEAFO Tlir at the scene of the accident and efforts wer at once commenced to relieve the imprisoned man. At first an attempt was made to re- move the bricks, earth and debris from the well, but tins was found to be ineffectual, and the work of digging a 'second shaft, parallel with the well was commenced Meantime communication with the entombe man was kept up through the medium of th iron casing that went from the surface t the bottom of the well, thus showng that he was still living. On Thursday, when thie second shaft had reached a depth of about 60 feet, opposite to where it was suppose the man was, and a tunnel was being du out from this shaft to the old well, anoth sinking of the earth took place and the de[ brig in the old well sank down about seve feet, the tapping on the pipe from belo was ceased, and the peoPle supposed the li was crushed out of Sanford. They quit wo and the crowd departed. SAVED BY A MIRACLE. I 9 Late in the day a farmer wandered ov the spat,contemplating with some inter° t] the pile where lay buried alive a man bei had known. He went close to the well, and, thought he heard a faint tapping froin below. Listening,he was convinced that the man etill lived, and he rushed to town for aid. The man had evidently fainted afteti the second cave-in, and, therefore, did nee reply to the signalsfrom above. When bd revived he began to signal again and it w this noise that once more broughe rescue to the scene. The work was pushed wi vigor, 290 or 300 men working in relies • gangs. A day later, Friday, about 11 o'clock, tte, diggers discovered the man. Late in t e afternoon they uncovered him, bus his fo ts was held fast. It was this member th caused the most stubborn fight. For hours many men worked to release Sa ford's foot. Saturday afternoon, when the most imminent dauger, the foot w suddenly released and the man hauled the top of the well, at about 5:30 o'clo He was safe after a hundred- hours of t most agonizing torture ever endured byl human being—a torture made more refined b renewed hope, succeeded by the blackneiss o despair, as the well would cave in furthe and send the struggling man lower down i to the depths of the 86 -foot well. The do tore even thought of administering morphi to theman and cutting.off his foot, or attac ing his body,to thesteatnitoisting mechiner and either palling him from the well's graii or pulling the foot from bis body. LI td THE MAN'S ()Wig STORY. • Here is the remarkable story from th man's own lips, told at different times : "1 had not intended to go down into t well Tuesday afternoon, but was suppos to look after matters on the inerface.e Th well is 86 feet deep, and we bad \a contrite to drive a drill further, or until we struc water. We had sent our pipe down abo 80 feet from the bottom up to Tumid& The old well was lined with brick, thong they were not set in mortar. The well 1, circular, and about three feet in diameter I was lowered into the well to examine th pipe, it having been interfered with h quicksand. I knew it .was dangeron While at the bottom q the well I observe the pipe rapidly disappearing into the dept below. I realized that a cave-in was immij- nent, and kignalled tcebe drawn up. I ha been raised perhaps 30 feet. My leg w run through a loop in the rope. Then cam a crash, and I felt the well close over me. NOT UNCONSCIOUS.

I w afraid they would think ine killed and ma no effort to relieve me. I could hear every- thing plainly that was said above. The pi brought down the sound, but I am told the could not bear me. I heard them start t work, but fearing they would never be abl to reach me, I began to tunnel through th dirt towards the top. "I would proceed in this way ; I passe' the bricks close around me toward my fee then lowering my head to a sttting positio I would reach up and get afew bricks, plat them below me and then reach up again. repeated this plan for a long time. I don' know how long, but I believe I went up 1 or 15 feet. During the time they were try ing to signal to me; I tried to tell them ho deep I thought I was down by getting the to lower a string through the pipe with a nail attached, and when it got down me I would tell them and then they could measure the string. Tlais I could not d . Finally, when I pulled' a brick from aboVe there was another roar, and the whole ma beneath me gave way. I must have bee carried back as far as I climbed. I thin the work I had been doing caused the secon cave in. FEARED ANOTHER SLIDE. "1 heard the workmen the moment th broke through from the new well to the o one. I was afraid they would start anotbj slide when I heard them working above nee and, therefore, called to them not to do that I wanted them to go lower and come i lower down. They finally did this. I tri to help myself, but could 'do very little. legs were numb and my fingers weak. I fil very cold at times and I guess my circa tion was bad. The firet-thing I asked th men to do when they reached me was to p t sotnetbing over my head to keep the Beni from trickling down my nose and ohoki I me. They put a hat over me, but that ws not enough, and 1atl3r they got the towe . Finally I got loose,. one of the imen reaohizg in and getting the brick from behind sr back' and then off from my chest. I then in no pain. I helped myeelf a 1ite after that, but finally we got down to lily feet. 9 THAT LAST FOOT. "It seemed as if I could never get o e foot loose. I was perfectly freeexcept th I was in a fairly comfortable position, k of reclining and sitting down. My leg froii the knee down was caught between sev bricks and kind of doubled under me. h y covered my foot in such a svay that wb I could move it a good deal it was im sible to get it out without a tunnel b run under my feet. I knew this, was dan- gerous, for the sand, which was near, and W55 liable to cantle a "elide. We tried a whole day to get that leg out. Finally they started the shaft lender me. Ropes were tied around me and ran into the new well so that if the o d well caved in any more I would, at least, not be,rarried down any further. Then the men aterted the new tunnel. They had to dg but a few feet of earth and they reached my f ot;in two or three bolus. They had it loose in a few minutes and then I was liftod out slowly. WA -SHED HI FACE " I washed my face before I got into the " 9 bucket to go to the top. I di net want to appear before all those people with a dirty face. The men had t Id me about the crowd waiting to eee me. The doctors wanted to send me dowii a chair to hoist me up in, but I wanted to go up with my leg through a rope.
