RICHMOND VA, Aug. 3l.-This city was
visited last night by one Of the hercest storms
ever known in this section. For two hours
rain fell in torrents, accompanied by almost
iucessant thunder aud lightning. The rush
of water in the streets WAS so great that
Shockee creek, in the lower part OF the city
was swollen TO an angry torrent, which over.
flowed its banks and flooded the whole vicinity.
Many cellars were filed and buildings border
ing on the creek inundated The occupants
of the buildings were mostly coOred. The
flood came upon them SO unexpectedly, they
being awakened by rush Of water into their
houses, that IL was with the greatest difficulty
they were rescued Tho scene In the neigh.
borhOod Of the swollen stream was terrible
Women and children were seen at windows
holding lamps and screaming for help. The
night was pitch dark, aud often cries were
heard from points whore no Que could be seau.
Men were wadiug about in the water trying
TO save life while they saw their worldly goods
swept away, While the damage IN fgueS is
not great, yet the loss falls heavily upou pe0.
pie who are least able to bear It. A nulabCr
Of merchants sustained considerable loss by
the flooding of cellars, In other parts Of the
city the streets were badly flooded aud several
bridges in the suburbs wero swept away.
Lightning struck in several places, but did no
serious damage No loss Of life has yet been
reported. Reports from the surrounding
country show that the storm covered an cx.
tenslyo area and did some damage. The
amount Of rain which fell here last night was
3,27 inches.

The republican party is running upon its

the democratic party is making of its record
Is in running away from It. Secretary Sler.

ing 1t up to date. Under Van Buren, the
government lost $11.71 by defa!cations
on every $1,000 collected, aud the best
the democratic party ever succeeded in
doing was in getting the percentage
down to g SO, undcr Pierce. The renuL.
lean party has practically cxtinguisled de-
ialcation, Under Grant the loss was only
thirtyfour cents on every $1,000, and under
Hayes, on the same amount, the loss has been
exactly one-third Of one cont. 1t is fair in
