@ESCUED FROM THE WELL ON SAT- 4 URDAY EVENING. GB WAS PINNED IN FOR NINETY-~ NINE HOURS, * (WONDERFUL PLUCK AND VITALITY SHOWN ALL THROUGH. oe Paris, June 29.--The man in the well - fs no longer there. Joshua Sanford, the fupprisoned well-digger, was released at 8.35 last night, amid the jubilation of She whole countryside. A day's rest, following 99 hours spent under 50 feet jof bricks~and sand, prompted Sanford Rhis afte- 'oon to ask to be allowed to ait up in bed and to hear what had 'happened during the days that he had Ween entombed in the Skelley well. The tremendous vitality and indomitable pluck of the man, which alone carried through his terrible experience of fast week, has shown itself in the re- Wuperative powers that he has display- @d since he was taken from his place confinement last night, and the phy- aivians attending him are of the opinion that he will be entirely recovered with- in a-fortnight. The rains of last night JOSHUA SANFORD: gaused another crash in the well, and e chamber which protected him is mow filled up. (he rescue of Sanford, who was im- med on Tuesday last, was accom- ed in the presence of fully 2,000 ple. The well and the workers about © dere the centre of a circle, made by the-rope lines which held in check the mgurious crowd. The event had been an- Mmounced to take place for two days be- fore, and the great gathering was in eadiness for it, although, except for am unusual exci! 'nent among these who fwere directing the work, no intimation thad been given that the rescue had been accomplished. The people had been warned, however, that a display of en- Bhusiasm might cost the life for which Buch sacrifice had been made, and when the big buck t swung into sight above the well and the rescued man was seen pped in the arms of his friend, Robt. Marstiton, the scene might have been Sanford's funeral rather than his deliv- erance from death, so quiet and still jwere the watchers. As he wae carried the mouth of the shaft to the stretcher, and on it to the house, there swas no sound but the half hysterical ejaculations of Sanford himself as he eoognized his friends. Sanford was taken from the dark hole am the earth literally imbedded in sand. Whe tiny sags had been driyen so far _into the flesh that was exposed that the ans say poultices have been neces- to give relief. e was perfectly mscious, although much w'ought up en, after a sgmewhat perilous trip Sarces the lower tunnel, he reached the Shaft from which his rescuers had work- ed fer two days. He knew from con- wersations with the men that a great mrowd was in waiting at the top, and he asked that before he ascended he be als Yewred to wash h': face. Mr. John Car- mie shouted up for a bucket of water and a towel, ard Sanford had his wish, although he only succeeded in removing one layer of sand. Then Carnie shoute for the "chair" to be lowered, in order Mr. John Carnie, jr., who .superin- tended the. 1 rescue o erations and himself worked for 17 hours con- Gatoualy i in the 'eal shaft and suc- ceeded in reaching Sanford, that the man should be sent to 'tha' This ehair had been rout fer tle: occasion. seat enclosed on three sides by eight- | inch boards, and furnished with ropes by which the occupant might be tied to it. Sanferd had heard of this ehnir, and said that he wanted to go up "on the rope." He stepped into the bucket him- self, and Robert Hamilton stood beside in it, passing his arm about San- ford's boty, and then grasping the ro with both hands. Sanford hung to the rope, too, and in a few seconds men were at the top of the shaft. "Hello," said Sanford as half a dozen of hands reached out to take him om the bucket. He was not permitted to say more, but was-carried to the stretcher. Here he insisted on speaking to the two men who had taken him from the well. He held Hamilton by the hand and waited for Carnie, who, instead of remaining for the bucket to descend again to the bottom for him, had climbed up the braces and reached the top almost before Sanford had been placed on the stretcher. "You're a brick, Carnie," said San- ford, stretching out his hand to the man who had spent seventeen hours in the shaft. "Well, I may be a brick, Josh," said Carnie, "but you're the biggest brick in America." The Scott farmhouse is only a few yards from the well, and when the bear- ers reached it Sanford wanted to get off and walk in. Of course this was not permitted, and the doctors were so alarmed at this dispmy of ex- citement that they even refused pereneios to ---- relatives to spea him. Dunton invited all of the practitioners present, among them being Burt, Sinclair and Loggie of Paris, " Addieon of St. George, and Stanley of Brantford, to him in the examination of San- They. found that during his in- carceration and long period of abstin- ence from food he had suffered compar- atively little. There were a number of scalp wounds.on his head, caused b falling bricks, none of them being seri- ous in themselves. There were wounds and bruises all over the body, the right leg, which anchored the man in the well, bearing several contusions where the rope had been fixed to it. This leg was practically paralyzed, and this con- dition is expected to exist for some time. His speech was nearly normal, and after he was placed in hed his pulse was 140, temperature 98 and respiration 44. Two trained nurses, Miss Lillie Craig of the Princeton University Hos- pital and Miss Campbell of Paris, were laced in charge of him, and a diet of iquid food was prescribed. Sanford was far more willing to talk than his physicians were to hear him. He saig that he had never abandoned hope from the moment that the first crash occurred. He slept very littie during the four days, because he was much more comfortable awake than asleep, his slee being so often disturb- . Two or three times when asleep he had dreamed that he was in water up to his neck, and just when he was about to take the refreshing drink for which he longed he would wa ake u "My good old stand-by, my pipe, serv- ed me to eo on the iron pipe, and I uged that all the time until the bricks fell on me and I couldn't get at m pockets," he said. "After that I used a piece of brick. It was partly my own fault that the well caved in. When I was going up I saw a loose brick stick- ing out from the curbing. Without thinking I pulled the brick out, an then the whole thing went with a crash. That was the time that I got most of e scalp wounds. I think that I would have bled to death if I had not taken sand and rubbed it into the cuts.' Sanford insisted that there had been a number of disturbances in the well in addition to the cave-in on Tuesday and the one on Thursday. He said that he had climbed up a good many feet from the spot where he was first thrown, and that at different times he was enclosed in different cavities. The plan which resulted in the rescue of Sanford was arranged by the men actually working in the shaft, who took upon themselves the entire responsibili- ty, including the risk of death. Mr. John Penman, the executor of the estate which controls the farm, had provided the finances and had engaged Mr. J. H. Jones of Brantford as supervisor. On Saturday morning Mr. Jones relinquish- ed the work to the men themselves, and Mr. Penman said that he could not ask anyone to expose himself to the danger which the construction of an- other tunnel] would involve. The si.uation at the time was this: Sanford had been uncovered so that his head was visible through a small hole connecting the shaft and the well about fifty-six feet from the surface. He was ina sitting posture and was entirely free, with the exception of his right leg, which was firmly wedged be- tween the pipe and:a pile of boards and brick. The men in the shaft had been unable to remove this obstruction, and ford had worked at it him- self until* his strength had given way. To reach this pile of bricks the deepening of the lower tunnel would be necessary, and to do this meant grave danger that not only San- ferd, but the men in the shaft would be engulfed. Sanford's father and sisters declared that they could not ask for such a sacrifice, and asked that the im- prisoned man try again to aid himself, but, weakened by the effort already made, Sanford hed fallen asleep. Then Jehn Oarnie, Robert Hamilton and Richard Doyle, all practical me- chanics of Paris, came forward and said that if they were allowed their own way they would undertake the rescue. After considerable opposition their offer was accepted, and they were aided in carry- ing out their plan by George Bianch- ard, Henry Alien, George Wentworth, William Thompson, John Soole and Thomas Engli Sanford , comparatively easy... He had sails ey air and was being fed re- tly, but his foot was anchored as y as ever. He wanted cold water sa hae refuse I don't get that water tell the 'oem Yl come up for it," he said, Only once did his spirits fail him, and that was when he atineed a few inches back into the hole. Several ropes had been passed around his body, and the attempt to pull him away from the ob- struction by main force was made. This failed, and when Sanford felt himself going back he weakened a bit. George Blanchard then said that he would go through the tunnel into the well and lift away the obstruction. Sanford 'refus- ed to hear of this. One man in the well was enough, he said. nford, however, was not out of the hole. It was deemed unsafe to endeavor to lift him to the upper tunnel, so a rope was passed puns his body, and the men at the of the shaft were told to ease slightly on the line when tho order was given. en ilton at the upper tunnel and Carnie at the lower reached through and guided tha movement of Sanford while his body was slowly lowered until his head was on a level with his feet, and then he was lift- ed through the lower tunel without disturbing a handful of sand. GOD SAVE THE KING, RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN GREAT BRITAIN YESTERDAY, - At St. Paul's Cathedral--Special Ser- vices im the Catholic Churches-- The Queen and Royal Family at Marlborough. London, June 29.--'God Save the King" was sung with an intense fervor in all Anglican churches throughout the country yesterday. The principal service of intercessjon was conducted at Saint Paul's Cathedral, where there was a vast attendance of the general public and a representative gathering of Government and colonial officials. The Duke and Duchess of Con- naught with the Princesses Victoria and Patricia and Prince Arthur of Con- naught occupied the front rows of seats under the dome, and near them were Lord and Lady Lansdowne, In Catholic churches High Mass was celebrated as usual, but by order of Cardinal Vaughan prayers for the King's recovery were added. This was a novel departure in the Catholic ritual. Monsignor Merry De} Val, the Papal Envoy, conducted a special service of in- tercession at the Brompton Oratory m the afternoon. The Spanish Ambassa- dor was present, and all the leading Ro- man Catholic families in London were represented. Lady Laurier was also in- eluded in the congregation, but it is un- derstood that the Canadian Premier was unable to attend, owing to a slight*in- disposition. Queen, accompanied by Princess Victoria, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark, Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, the Duke and Duchess of Fife, Princess Louise, the Duke of Argyle, the Duke of Cambridge, Princess Henry of Batten- berg, the Duke and Duchess of Teck and other members of the royal family attended Divine service in the private chapel at Marlborough House. As the Queen left the building she was respect- y greeted by a large crowd of peo' ple. This was her Ma'esty's first ap- pearance in public since the King be- came seriously ill, and it was regarded as a good omen. PROTEST IN WEST WELLINGTON. = Appeal Against the Recount in South Bruce Dismissed by Consent. Toronto, June 30.--West - Well- ington is the latest constituency in which a protest has been en- tered.

Toronto, June 30.--Frances dall, a seventeen-year-old girl re- siding at 73 Hamilton street, was arrested by Detectives Forrest and Bur- rows yesterday on a charge of stealing nearly a score of bicycles. The thefts have been in progress for two or three weeks, and have caused the department considerable trouble. It is allaged that the girl stole the bicycles from the front of Yonge street stores while their own- ers were shopping. All were sold to dealers in various parts of the city, to whom the prisoner, it is charged, gave a distinctly separate name and address. It was found in every case that this was really the name and address of a re- spectable young woman, and as the de- tectives made inquiries in each instance considerable annoyance was unavoidably caused to innocent people. All the wheels were recovere OUT OF DANCER. THE, KING'S PROGRESS TOWARDS 3 RECOVERY. IMPROVEMENT CONTINUED ON SUN- DAY. TRANSFERRED FROM BED TO A WHEELED COUCH, London, June 29.--The following are the official bulletins on the King's con- dition, issued from Buckingham Palace since yesterday morning :-- Saturday, 10.45° a.m.--The. King had a good night, and his improved condition is maintained. We are happy that we are able to state that we consider his Majesty to be now out of immediate danger, and the gen- eral condition is satisfactory. The wound, however, still needs constant at- tention, and such concern as attaches to his Majesty's condition is connected with the wound. Under the most fa- vorable conditions his Majesty's recovery must of necessity be protracted. The 2 pm. bulletin will _be .discontinued. (Signed) Lister, Treves, Barlow, Smith, Laking." Saturday, 6 pm.--*The King passed a very comfortable day and his progress continues to be quite salina (Sign- ed) Treves, Laking, Barlow." Saturday, 11 p.m--*The has passed a comfortable day, and his strength has been well maintained. The wound--eecasionally causes discomfort. (Signed) Treves, Barlow, Laking." 9 o'clock this morning--'The Kin eels stronger in spite of some discomfort from the wound. Nothing has occurred to disturb the satisfactory progress the King is making. (Signed) Tree yes, Lak- ing, Barlow." The bulletin at 4 o'clock this after- noon said the King's progress was in every wie So and that the local King Tdward's physicians announced at 9.40 o'clock to-night that the royal aes progress was entirely satisfac- - No further bulletins will be is- eued to-night. 'The verdict upon which the nation had so anxiously waited caused @ longer consultation than usual. Lord Lister, Sir Frederick Treves and the other doctors discussed -the '}atient's condition for early an hour before they committed themselves to the im- rtant pronouncement in the first bul- -_ in yesterday. The reference to the authoritatively set forth, can he regarded - without any disquiet. By June 30 the doctors are expected to announee that all dan- ger of Bi ia ae has passed. The discomfort" is not regarded as keene special significance, eo it is announced that the transfer of his Ma- jesty from the bed to a wheeled couch caused the royal patient no pain. It has been definitely decided that the Prince of Wales will inspect the colon- ial contingent of troops-on July 1-on the Horse Guards parade. The troops will be under the command of the Duke of Connaught. The Crystal Palace will ibe the scene of the brilliant hospital ball on July 2nd. The King has been especially gratified y a despatch, among numerous tele- grams, from a large meeting of Trans- vaalers assembled at Balmoral, Trans- vaal, embodying a prayer that the Al- mighty might restore him tc health and grant him and the Queen "health,wealth and long to live." Among the disappointed stand owners and other sections of the public there is a strong desire to have a war parade, with Lord Kitchener as the central Te. Suoh an arrangement would ae attract many thousands to on. 4Be metropolis and the coun- my are quite ready to go wild over hener. But he is kely to en- deayor to dodge any public shows. Fail- ing Kitchener, the stand proprietors have to rely on the King's first public re- i aggre, which is likely to be a ve through the streets to the na- tional thankugivi ~ service. That, how- ever, must be + ne time hence, as @ man in his sixty-first year, in spite of his .wonderfully quick recovery from the immediate results of the operation, will probably haye to submit to a rather lengthy convalescence.
