TWO MEN BURIED A LIVE
Fobfab.—On The Forenoon Of Wednesday Iw ...
_Fobfab . —On the forenoon of Wednesday iw our community was thrown into an awful state of ' ment , owing to a report having got abroad that w _^ r _" Brown and M'Leish , two labourers hore Cd h suffocated while engaged in repairing a well on tl perty Of Mr . Barclay , writer , situate a small way i h ?" southwardof the town . Ongoingto _thespot we obse a great concourse of people , consisting , wc should pose , of no less than 1 , 000 . The well , which is ab _^* GOJ feet deep , is in the centre of a small area _„ } _, / ° _* ofthe dwelling-house , and close upon a stone wall fo ing the boundary or enclosure of the property _w ' heard that both of the men were alive , though clos I wedged into the well by parts of the rubbish , the Wood work at the top of the well having fallen down . TV hadbeen occasioned by part of the boxing havine » ii . '
way . M'Leish was said to be uppermost . His body _«¦ quite free excepting his feet and ancles , whieh were p _" _* tangled among the beams of wood ; and Brown was _^ closed a small way down from him , and was forced hit " a stooping posture , though quite uninjured . Hundred " ef the people in the town were then eugaged in cuttiU (? 3 large trench into the gardtn leading to the well __ _$ about mid-day , when these operations were suspended information was sent to the Procurator Fiscal , who ha ' mediately proceeded to thespot . Tho stonework at the side of tho well , and the staircase leading from the road to the area , were taken down , so as to remove tlie pre * sure from the top of tlie well . The people continued to work in the trench all day , and in the evening by the
light of the torches , when it was proposed to dig another pit about six feet distance from the well , 5 q as to get out Brown , the lowest down . When it was proposed , at the outset , to M'Leish to take hiin out he magnanimously replied that , were the beaa i cut through which entangled his feet , the rubbish and wood would be sure to fall and suffocate Brown , and he would , therefore , remain iu that position , althoug h it was for a day , until they had digged down and taken out Brown . ' Brown was rather downcast duiing this day , and his comrade M'Leish did what he could to encourage and support him . Upwards of fifty of our townsmen generously volunteered their services to work _durin-j the night . On the following day ( Thursday ) the men coa .
tinued to dig in the pit by turns . A small gas pipe was inserted through tho rubbish to Brown , and soup and stimulating liquors were conveyed down to him through the pipe . A small hand-saw was also conveyed down this small aperture , and he cut through a beam of wood which was lying across his breast , and thus got himself relieved . Throughout Thursday Brown ' s spirits continued to rally , while those of M'Leisli , from the pain of his injuries , fell somewhat . Brown , in his turn , encouraged him . Throughout this day the sheriff and our burgh authorities remained upon tho spat , stimulating the men in their humane exertions : and to do them justice , they really wrought nobly . It was fondly anticipated throughout the day that the men would be extricated from their perilous situations by the afternoon . Afternoon came , and still
they had to penetrate further down , until they got as low down as Brown . By ten o ' clock at night the workmen reached the necessary depth , but they now became apprehensive of danger from the boxing giving way and the rubbish falling down ; and fears were also expressed for the dwelling house giving way , since its foundation was somewhat endangered b y the process of digging . At this time we cannot fail to notice the noble-minded aud gallant conduct of onr towns _, man , Mr . Alexander Grant , coal merchant . Ho had coa . tinuod to work night and day since theaccident occurred , and now , when every person was shrinking back from venturing further than they had done , he boldly volua . teered to go down and peril his life to relieve the men , provided auy of his fellow workmen would work with
bkn by turns : but all shrunk back from the bold and pe . rilous enterprise . By this time the B , ev . Messrs . Clug . ston , Stephenson , and Low , Sheriff Roberson , our burgh authorities , and many hundreds of our townsmen , had thronged around the spot , all intensely anxious regarding the issue of the operations . A consultation was held by the sheriff , ministers , and workmen , when it was re . solved to suspend operations—to send expresses to bun . dee and Glamiss , for Messrs . Eddy and Blackaddcr , engineers . During the night the men were engaged ia supporting the lower part of the building . By four o'clock , Mr . Leslie arrived from Dundee . Mr . Blackaddcr was from home . Mr . Leslie , on surveying the spot , ap . pearedto have his fears regarding the success of their opera .
tions . He immediately gave orders to send to Arbroath with all expedition for iron screws to pierce the parti _, tion between the well and the pit . The principal difficulty lay in the nature of the soil . Had it been of a clay con . sistency and not of sand , it would have been far safer , and more easily cut through . We understand that Mr , Leslie was also apprehensive of the building giving way , and gave orders to get strong trees to support it , Mean . time , our community was in an awful ferment , work is almost suspended , and all are waiting with breathless suspense for the issue . We may mention that _Brown and M'Leish have wives and families dependent upon them , and none can tell the piercing anguish which these women are subjected to . God grant that the issue ma ; be as we fondly anticipate . —Arbroath Guide .
Murder Of Sir Lawrence Jones, Bart. The ...
MURDER OF SIR LAWRENCE _JONES , BART . The Impartial , of Smyrna , of the 28 th ult ., contains the following account of the murder of Sir Lawrence Jones , Bart ., by a party of brigands ;—" On the 6 th , at two o'clock in the afternoon , two Eng Iish gentlemen , viz ., Sir Lawrence Jones , Bart ., and Cap . tain Twopenny , left Macri for Smyrna ; they were accompanied by a Greek dragoman of the name of Nicoli , and also three conductors . On the night of the same day they all slept at Karghi , and the next day , at twelve o ' clock , they found themselves at the foot of the moun . tam called Khassils-Bel , where they _stoppedto breakfast ; during this repast one of the conductors observed to the dragoman that two or three Zhybeeks wcre at a distance
in front , but as he in a short time lost sight of them th . _** . voyagers were undisturbed and their route was continued _. But they had not proceeded more than six minutes ou their journey , when they were suddenly assailed by a warm fire of musketry from behind one of the rocks of the mountain . Sir Lawrence Jones fell dead as well as the Greek Nicoli by this fatal discharge ; Captain Twopenny was also grievously wounded . The robbers , with . out the least fear of being recognised , approached and began to take possession of everything whieh thev could lay their hands upon . Captain Twopenny miraculously escaped from being dispatched . One of the brigands had already pointed his pistol to the chest of tho wounded captain , when a fellow brigand turned the aim of the pistol , and it went off in a different direction . Having remained for about an hour and a half upon the stage of the field of murder , the robbers departed . Captain
Tiropenny , aided by his conductor , with difficulty remounted his horse . It was not until after atwelve hours [ ride that the suffering gentleman arrived at Macri , weltering in his blood , which _^ was running from his numerous Wounds . He had done everything in his power to take _mi-i . him the remains of his departed and unfortunate rriend , but could not succeed . He was satisfied with cutting off a lock of his hair , and taking a ring off hU finger ( which had escaped the rapacity of the robbers ) , as a sort of souvenir to his afflicted family . Ou his ar . rival at Macri , his first care was to look after the body of his companion , whicli was brought to Macri on the _Otb , as well as that of Nicoli ; both of them were buried in the Greek chapel , with all the ceremonies and rites of that faith . This affecting news has produced the most melanchol y sensation amonjjst the English residents 21 Smyrna . "
