The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-05-08

of late have continued in quick succession,
culminated last evening in heavy rain. This
increased in violence and power, attaining It's
zenith about O'Clock this morning, when the
storm ragged supreme. The huge drops of water
perfectly saturate every object--pouring on to
the roofs with such force and noise that BODIED
no good to the would.be sleepers-run-
ming over the caves, splashing down
the walls, and rushing through the
spouts with the harshness and rumbling
sound OF escaping steam, clearing the side
walks, and converting the cutters into extern
sve ponds. Midnight walkers ceased their
midnight perambulations, and the guardians
of the night retreated from before the furious
onslaught of the elements to staton-hou
wards or protecting doors and awnings. Ac-
companying this heavy fall of rain was a
high wind, which periodically whistled and
roared with awful violence. Much damage,
the storm The Schuyllcill, by report has raised
from eight 10 ten inches, and IL the storm
ragged as vehemently in the county precincts as
IL ala IN our own ctty,we may look for freshet
that will carry destruction with IL. The Dela-
ware has also risen, flooding its banks and will

above FoItieth street, was entirely demolished.
The walls were blown to the ground.
The cellar wall OF large brick building on
Ihlrd, below Buttonwood street, was UNDER
mined by the water, and caved in, doing con-
siderable damage to the structure
The police officers reported the uprooting of
large trees in various sections OF the city, and
in one or two places the blowing down of some
telegraph poles 1t has been the heaviest storm
