Dusaty electric ed the semi darkness tubes ran here and thera, There was a sound of rushing grain: the floors shook with the rumble of machinery. By pressing a button or pulling a lever ail those gigantic pro- cesses could be modified or checkad. In the of his explorations Braithwait came to the “spout-floor.” pierced with numerous large, round holes. Here great movable spouts of Iron conveyed the grain from the gar. ners above into the bins beneath the holes, which wore fitted with hinged iron covers Some of the COVers were thrown entirely back: others, lifted to an angle of more than sixty grees, were held up by sticks student moved gingerly among Lr he had no inclination depth of the black cavities. Far down the long, dusty room, more than a hundred and men were busy shifting the spouts: but they paid no attention to him. At the very end of the floor was unex- filled strewed bulbs light.- Speaking- course de. tt and painted on the boards beside in black, dustcovered ber, “11” Bralthwait wondered if this bin was full enough to allow him to see the top of the grain it contained. He stooped down to peer within, It. ter blackness I his gaze. How it happened he cannot tell to this day, but as he rose his foot slid along the slippery floor, and he shot downward into the pit. As he passed through the opening he made an ineffectual arasp at its edge, but Instead struck the stick that held the cover up. Down it came, and while he still hung wus. pended in mid-air all light from above was blotted out, and he was left in total darkness. The terrible sensation of falling tirst unknown distance he will never forget. How far beneath him was the grain? It might be ten, twenty, thirty, forty feet. Perhaps the bin contained no grain at all, in which figures, its num- event he wonld fall sixty feet before his bones were shattered on the hard timbers. These ideas passed like lightning through his brain. Then with a shock the motion ceased. He had fallen head first, but turned a half-somersault on his way down, alighting up to his knees in a yielding substance that broke the shock of his fall. He found afterward that the distance could not have been more than twenty feet, but the total strangeness of the place, and the ter rible uncerainty as to when and where he would bring up, made {t seem three times as great Braithwait's first feeling of thankfulness that none of his bones were broken With his thumb was and into he had fallen The hands grasped only the sliding ker als, In a moment he was above the cen tral vortex.

His muscles ached almost to numbness. His breath came short, He was drenched with perspiration. But there was no cessation in the movement of the grain, Slowly It gained upon him as he made his los- ing fight. The horror of the death that impended goaded him to extreme efforts, but his diminished strength could not cope with the steady sinking of the wheat. Oh, If they would only close the spout below. The catastrophe, long averted, came at last. The edge crumbled beneath his feet: he slipped, staggered, fell!

Gottlieb Wittier, who forty years ago found a box containing $62.000 in gold and government bonds, stolen from the United States Paymaster, immediately returned to General Fremont, is dead. For forty years he conducted one of the largest contracting enterprises in Missouri, During the elvil war he Was engaged by the United States Government in the construction of forts along the Mississipp! River, and while building a fort in South St Louis a tin box was unearthed. Mr, Witter found it where it had been thrown aside’ by the workmen. A lock on the side aroused his curiosity, and he pried open the lid. Covered with brown paper was a pile of gold and Government bonds. Mr. Wittler at once drove to Gen, Fremont's headquarters at Eighth street and Chouteau avenue, As he walked from the office an officer remarked: “That green Duteh. man could have kept this money.” To this Gen. Fremont replied: “1 wish we had a few more of such green Dutch in this country, He Is one honest man."—-8t Louls Chronicle.
