A BIG RAIN.
rho Streets Temporarily Converted
Into Muddy Canals.

Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock
this city and vicinity vas visited by c rain
storm of unu sual severity, which, in a few
moments, transformed the cutters into
raging torrents OF chocolate Colored water,
plentiful!y mixed with tin cans, boulders,
and other debris from the back alleys and
hill sides. Twelfth street presented a scene
for an artist in search Of the picturesque,
il being a level sheet OF water from curb to
curb, and at the intersection of Market
street was impossible even for street cars
for a short time, the water coming
up TO within a few feet OF Nc.
Lain's store doors. The extensive i'm.
provements made during the past week
by the Board of Public Works proved ut
terly worthless as far as rendering the
street passable in a storm is concerned,
the new sewer openings. being too small TO
carry off any considerable portion OF the
rainfall. Tenth. Eleventh and Fourteenth
streets were also a sight to behold, the lat.
ter especially being badly washed on the
grade east of Market street. Scores OF
Sunday school scholars received a ducking
and quite a number Of ladies had hand
some suits badly damaged. The street car
drivers had much trouble on Market street
from the track becoming covered with
mud and stones. and quite a number OF
the cars Jumped the track.
