THE leland.

OF course, where the system Of drain.
age is SO deficient as upon the Island, a
storm like that Of last night will cause
great deal Of trouble 10 the inhabitants.
To illustrate this, We need mention but
one street. The cutters onSouth Broad
way, for instance, have no outlet; and after
the storm last night that street was one
street Of water for an entire square below
Ohio street. Virginia street. between
Penn and South Front, where 1t is very
low, was completely under water. The
other streets, except upon the highest
part Of the Island, were left in about the
same condition. On the west side OF the
Island many houses were surrounded by
water. The high fence which encloses
the fair grounds was in a number Of
places blown down, as were also shade
trees innumerable. 10, j. H 4

SOUTH WHEELING.

The South Wheeling people, 80 far as
our observation extended, did not suffer
materially from the storm. The B. & o.
railroad track in many places was
Hwashedn from the hillside, thus interior
ing with the running Of trains. In the
lower portions Of the Eighth Ward the
streets and payements were, as in other
portions Of the city, under water; and
many cellars were flooded. Owing TO the
darkness Il was difficult 10 find out Just
what damage was done in this part Of the
city, and It may be that It Is more serious
than our haSty visit last night would
warrant US in believing.

BELOW THE CREEK.

Crossing the creek and proceeding to
ward the southern portion Of the city we
found little worthy Of note until We reach.
ed the Sixth Ward. True, there were
many submerged sidewalks and flooded
cellars, but the damage as a general thing
was very slight. The cutters oyeraowed
with water, and in many places streets
leading from the hillside toward the river
were impossible because Of the high banks
Of mud left by the flood. Lanterns flick
cred at nearly every corner, to warn the
unwary pedestrian to pick his steps, or
90 around by another and more cir
cuitous route. The street lamps were
not lighted, and in the absence Of
lanterns Egyptian darkness prevail
ed; so that IL became common
thing for belated travellers TO step of q
dry pavement into water and mud knee
deep, before they could say Jack Robin
son. Added to the other Inconvenience
of the evening, the street cars were
prevented from running farther south than
The lower stables, on account OF an acct.
dent to the Caldwelrs Run bridge.
Chapline street, from oath TO 10Th, was
almost entirely under water-and mud
The mud was at least two feet deep,
completely burying the street car track
and Of course preventing the cars from
running. The payements on this street
were also submerged, and as soon
as the storm had blowed over all
the able.bodied citizens turned out
to shovel of walking place in
front of their respective premises.
Business was entirely suspended in this
locality, with the exception Of the 50.
looms, nearly everybody deyoting their
exclusive attention to the mud. The cross
streets, 24th, 25th, 10Th and 9Th, all more
or less suffered from the hundreds Of
streams which started from the hillside
and rushed madly toward the river. With
the exception Of very muddy streets and
payements, the people along Main, Mar.
ket and Water streets, in this ward, had
but little to complain Of.

CALDWELL's RUN,

as usual, came out booming. This an.
cient stream was on a high-higher than
1t has been for many years. Before s
o'clock the people living in the vicinity
became alarmed and posted sentries at
different points with lanterns. The
stream rushed out with such force that
the narrow passage under the Chapline
street bridge was not wide enough to admit
Of It's passage, and the water spread all
over the whole Of the locality known as
"Caldwell's field" which Is now occupied
BY some twenty-five or thirty dwelling
houses. The Easements Of these houses
were flooded, with what damage to the
occupants cannot yet be definitely ascer-
tanned.
The Eotf street bridge over the run was
terribly demoralized by the flood, but is
still standing. The Chapline street
bridge, however, did not escape SO well.
The footwalk on the upper side was car
ried away, and the stone foundations
badly shaken. Three OF the street
cars which were below the bridge
when the storm came up were
brought up TO the stables, and
no others allowed 10 cross over. For
this reason, and on account OF the mud
on the track on Chapline street, between
oath and 26th, the cars only ran as far
south as thestables during the remainder
Of the evening.

setting fire to the old Van Doren building on

story, and also covered it with other infiammaolc
