FEARFUL LOSS oFLIFE
MILLIONS OF PROPERTY DESTROYED.

Pittsburgh, July PA most de
structlve storm swept over this city
last night. The rain poured through
the streets from the neighboring hill.
and the Union Railroad depot was
inundated with water from three tt
four feet deep, and the Pan Handle
tunnel was filled with water and
rendered impossible. Much prop
erty was destroyed on Liberty and
Smithfield streets. From all sides
of the streets leading from the hill
the powders were rolled from their
position and hurled to the level be-
low, while in many other places
great holes were opened up in the
steeets. In the Sixth and Fourteenth
Wards the streets are terribly cut up.
In Allegheny City the flood was
terrible. A sewer on Madison ave-
nue. and Vista street burst, inundat-
\ ing the whole upper part of the city.
, A number of houses were swept
away on Spring Garden street, the
water attaining a depth of ten feet,
causing large loss of life in this vi
cinity. 1t is reported that fifty-five
bodies have so tar been recovered.

be estimated. The damage to prop
Z erty on the south side is great A
large number of stables and build
ings were swept away, and several
lives are reported lost.
