BIG RAIN sTO6M-S4,OO0 DAMAGE.
Yesterday afternoon, as we were nearly
ready 70 go to press, a rain storm came over
this vicinity making it almost rs dark as
night, and impossible 70 work withoutlamps
Rain commenced falling about 8 O'Clock, and
continued heavyt TIL nearly four, wheni it sud-
denly began pouring down ina deIuge, with
monetary flashes Of vivid forked lightning
continuing for at least an hour. Soon the
water rushed down into the branch between
Main and Water streets from a thousand
rivulets, running apparently on the side bill
to the depth Of four inches, and making Of
the branch an angry torrent, from twenty to
a hundred feet wide and In places fifteen 70
twenty feet deep, and threatening the safety
Of houses and barns situated near its banks.
The eulvert on fourth street, during the hight.
Of the storm, became ehoaked Up, backing up
the water TO 9th street and rnnning over the
4th street culvert to the depth of ten inches.
Trees n logs two foot over came down, and
we were there when a huge log made abreech
In going along, and in about two minutes
ten feet Of the I'LL gave way and let lose
the body Of water that flooded the houses at
and near the levee. At one time It rushed
through Mrs. Somer' residence TO the depth
Of fifteen inches, and moved 1t on its founda-

down the south shed Of L. D. Robison's
stable, MASKING one vehicle; carrying the

Ing the residences of Mfr. Coffman, Emons,
and others between Levee streets and the river.
On lis street the damage may be stated at
about two thousand yards of Ill washed from
Inc culverts, and the culverts considerably
damaged, loss to the city, in this and other
the city, about $500. To the citi-
sens along the branch, altogether, in fences,
1uthouses, &C., washed down and away, and
washing through dwellings, perhaps, $500.
from the north hollow the water broke over
Atlantic street, carrying several cords Of wood
o the mouth of the culvert across Main
causing the water to back up into DR..
