BIG RAIN STORM.

One of the biggest rain storms we have
ever seen in this city occurred last even
ing. The weather had been exceedingly
warm during tho day, and towards even
ing the clouds commenced to gather, and
by six o'clock there was every appear
ance of heavy rain storm. A few min
utes later the rain commenced to fall and
for two hours we never saw the rain
come down with such terrific steadiness.
The streets and cutters were overlooked
with water, and during the continuance
of the storm, it was impossible for peo.
pie to made Roadway on the streets. We
heard of quite number of ACCT
dents, but the lateness OF the
hour prevents us from ascertaining truth
fully whether they are so or not. The
few we give below, we are almost cer-
| tain about.
On the west side of Main street, be-
tween Eleventh and Fourteenth streets,
/ there has been considerable damage. A
large number of cellars belonging to
wholesale firms, have been filled with
water, and a great many goods have
been ruined The same thing has oc-
Cured on Water street. Mr.. Seamon,
the tobacconist, has his cellar filled with
water and six or seven hogsheads OF to-
bacco and other stock is ruined. l.. 5.
Delaplain & Son, wholesale dry good
merchants, Main street, have lost be-
tween 500 and $1,000 by goods being
damaged in their cellar.
The lower half of Caldwell's run bridge,
on Chapline street, is reported gone, and
possibly the street cars cannot run to-day.
The Hayes and Wheeler pole, in East
Wheeling, snapped at the second splice
during the storm, and now looks very
"little" indeed.
We heard that woman and her child
had fallen into cellar filled with water
on Fourteenth sire et, above Eof, but
could not learn her name. We under.
stand she WIS a,si ted out OF her trouble
and MI she suffered was the first class
ducking she got.
We understand that the bridge at Rush
Run, on the G. & p. R. r., was washed
away and the train due at $3.50 last night
did no. arrive. An engine was sent up
from Bridgeport, but we did not learn
what assistance was rendered the down
train.
OF course there must have been great
deal OF damage done that we have moi
heard of, but we hope it is not as great al
most people suppose. The storm was
without doubt, one of the largest that
has visited this part of the country fol
some time.

REDUCTION OF RAILROAD WAGES
There were no further movements yes
terday, says the Baltimore sun, among
the employees in the transportation de-
partment of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. Captain Thomas r.
Sharp, Master of transportation, returned
yesterday from a tour along the line OF
the road, and reports that after person
ally comforting with large majority of
the engineers, conductors, brakemen and
tiremen, and explaining to them the situ-
alton, they expressed themselves as fully
approaching it, and therefore willing to
accept the reduction made in their
wages, and no further agitation is looked
for. The committees appointed at the
Cross street market hall on Monday have
not waited upon any of the officers of the
company to present grievances on sc-
count of the reduction, and i. now is be-
lieved the matter will rest where it is for
the present.

Roth sides Hold .heir Own


BELGRADE, August 24.-An oihciai
dispatch recounting Tuesdays hgnung
saws both sides maintain their positions.
Tho Turks received rcinforcements to
the number of $1,000 yesterday after
noon. tits rumored that the Turks have
abandoned Salts char in order to concen-
trate their forces for an attack on Alexi.
natz. All civilians have been ordered
to quit AleXinatz.
The serSians Undecided.
VIENNA, August 24-Servia's delay
in accepting the good Office offered by all
the powers at the England initiative Is
occasioned bv the remonstrances of Mon
tenegro, who fears being exposed to
the whole force of Turkey. In the event
of Servis concluding to separate peace,
a compromise has consequently been ar
ranged, in accordance with which Mon
tenegro will cooperate. This explains
the sudden march Of the Prince OF Mon.
tenegro toward Kolosdjn, when he VIII
unite with the forces under his brother
in.law, Vakopjes, with the intention OF
attacking the Turks about Sienetiza in
conjunction with the Servian forces IN
the same neighborhood.
The Turks Getting Worsted.
BELGRADE, August 24.-The Turks
Yesterday made three desperate attacks
on the Servian positions ut AleXinetZ
and some of the Servian bstal!ions lost
moro than a quarter of their strength.
Several Russian officers were killed. The
Turks also lost heavily, being exposed TO
the cross-fre of the artillery from en-
trcnchments. General Tchernayef, who
commanded the Servians in person, sue
ceeded in repulsing the Turks on each
occasion. The Turks renewed the attack
early this morning, and were repulsed
all along the line, and fell back two kilo-
metres. General Tchernayef is un-
derstood TO have decided, in the
event of defeat, to fail back to
belgrade. Cuprija. on the Morara river,
has also been fortified as third line OF
defense. If General Tchernsyetf is sue
cessful, he will advance on Nisch, in the
direction OF which the Servian General
Uarvatovich is now advancing
General Tchernayeft telegrsphs to
Prince Milan as follows: "Our affairs
are not progressing badly. The Turks
have evacuated the line of the Timok,
but still occupy Sartschler.
Driven Behind Their FortifieatiOns.
BERLIN, August 24.-The Servians
speak of the bombardmeRt about Alex
Niatz. This is supposed to show that
they have been driven behind their forti-
fications.
