What can happen is illustrated by the fact that during a. storm the other night John Breig, a signal tower man on the Brooklyn elevated railroad, was rem dered unconscious by the effects of lightning. The engineer of a down. town train, passing the station at Adams street and Myrtle avenue, mo- ticed that the signal to proceed was not set, stopped his engine on the SUD- position that an accident had occurred. Other trains became stalled, the plat forms filled up with waiting passengers, until, finally, an employee of the road went to the signal tower, where they found Breig, who was in charge of the post, unconscious from shock, caused by lightning. And if two men had been there both might have been knocked out.

NORTHWESTERN MILLING.
A Good Deal Of Flour Sold, But ut Very
Low Prices.

Low Prices.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 6.-The North
western Miller says the flour output
at Minneapolis last week was pig, 100
barrels, against 22O, $50 the week before,
and 236, 240 in 1894. At Superior and
Duluth the output was 1890 barrels last
week, against 81 300 Il week ago, and
6,92Ji in 1894.
The Minneapolis output may show IA
small increase this week. Sales OF flour
We're large last week, being over 100 900
barrels in excess of the production, but
the prices obtained were ex~asperatlngly
low.
Prices are a shade lower than il week
ago, they having been advanced slightly
with wheat and then lost ground. All
grades of flour before first clears are
hard to move and weak i'll price. Bran
and shorts 81 to 81. 80 lower than IA week
ago, but bottom is supposed to have
been about touched, as on present basis
there is an inducement for handlers to
buy and store for higher prices.
The Supcrior-D Duluth mills are likely
to make less flour this week. While
whole it was not unsatisfactory. Con
siderable new wheat flour has been con
tractcd for future delivery.
The flour output for August was the
heaviest the Minneapolis mills ever
made in any August, except that OF
1894. The production OF the crop this
year was also neXt to the largest on
record.
