The Kansas City Times says: During the
sudden storm which passed over the city ye5ter-
day morning an accident happened in the main
sewer of the city which nearly c0st two men
their lives Foreman Conklin, Of the city ongi.
neers force, accompanied bytwo laborers named
Frank NcNeelis and John Dugen, went down q
man hole ear Fifth street to TO do some work
in main sewer, which is fifty feet from the sur.
face of the ground. Foreman Conklin came up
shortly after going down, leaving Dugan and
McNeels in the sewer.
While he was abaent q terrible storm passed.
over the city, preventing his return. The water
camo down in torrents, flooding the streets and
cutters. All Of the feeders of the sewer sudden
ly became filled with water, cutting of all com.
municaton between the two men in tho sewer
and the man on watch at the top OF the man
hole. Dugan and McNeelis we're totally I'M.
conscious of the storm raging above. and were
seated in the darkness of the main sewer, wait.
ing the return Of the foreman, when torrent Of
water commenced to pour in upon them from all
directions.
Before they had time to reach place Of safe
ty the main sewer had become rushing sub.
terrsnean river. Dugau managed to climb up.
Neells was not 80 fortunate. The food caught
him in it's resstless power and bore him from his
feet. He must have inevitably washed away
down the dark, foul torrent and drowned had
he not boon caught by, his partner, Dugan, and
dragged to the aide of tho sewer and assisted to 8
place Of temporary safety.
In the mean time the greatest anxiety was felt
by the city engineer and his assistants at the top
Of the man hole. As the rain continued to fall
and the Increased volume Of water continued to
pour down into the sewer st each street corner,
it WAS plainly evident that the men below were
being placed farther and farther from the reach
of all help from above.
When the rain ceased party went down into
the sever to seek the two men. The were found
still alive and waist deep in water, clnging TO
the side of the sewer. They we're still unaware
that q fierce storm had been raging above them,
but were impressed with the idea that the water
works pipe had broken loose. They we're in an
exhausted condition, and had the storm been
long one they must have certainly been washed
away and carried down to the Missouri river.
1t was certainly very narrow escape.

Mr.. WHITEHEAD W1THDRAWs.-Hon 1hOs.
Whitehead has Withdrawn from the Congress
sonal canvass in the Lynchburg district. ln

II nm fully satisfied there will be au indie
pendent candidate 10 the field. l. have no
desire to make mere personal canvas5-tr0m
which no public good will result aud huvs lit.
lie faith ia small politicians and the primaries
they get up and manage.
up to yesterday Mr.. Tucker's opioiors 90
the currsDcy question were not known. The
general opinion vas that he agreed with the
papers that most ardently supported him, on
that question, and was 10 favor of the National
Bank system. 10 day his open letter to q
Buckingham committee shows that on this
most important question We agree. The letter
also shows that Mr.. fuckers position is not
what it vas supposed to be on other subjects,
and that he comes much nearer agreeing with
mo on public questions. than he does with
those who have been SO free to crItlclse my
opinions and positions.
Satisfied by Mr.. fuckers letter that tho
differences between Us on Federal questions
are not vital, aud while our difference on the
State debt should not be matter affecting US
before the convention, it will give him az ad.
vantage with the rea0jusiog element at the
primaries, and believing that the nominating
convention will and ought to prepare plat.
form of principles in regard to all proper ques.

quired to stand, and which hope heartily to
