Mr. A. +. McGlll insurance commissioner,
had allowed the important documents and
records of his Office to remain in the vault of
his old room at the ruins of tie capitol. Hav-
ing occasion to use certain papers which were
in the vault, he repaired thither for the pur-
pose of procuring them. The wind was blow
ing a gale, and just as Mr.. McGill was about
to go to work on the combination lock of the
door of the vault, to his great horror he saw
that the wall was topping towards fall.
With rare presence of mind, he ran and
jumped into window opening on the north
side Of the arm of the building and braced
himself for the shock. A moment later the
whole wall fell into the basement, and so
great was the force of the fall that every brick
in the wall was separated from its neighbor.
Had Mr., McGil] remained where he was stand
ing when the wall began to topple he would
have been crushed to atoms. AS it was. be
was enveloped for time in a cloud of flying
debris. but fortunately, was not struck by any
of the broken bricks.
