The Local Floods.

Yesterday was a day of bold ,dashing
showers In Wilmington and vicinity.
Som etimes the sun shone out briEhtiy
bet cen the showers, but the sunshine
was speedily followed by canopy oil
dark swift fleeing clouds, that contain
ed immense eservoirs OF rain. Each
pucceediug shower appeared to be
heavier than the preceding one, and the
cutters became succession OF sinail
floods.
The heaviest rain OF all seemed to be
bet " cen 8 and y o'clock, and was ac-
com pan led by very loud thunder and
sharp lightning. frequently the gut
ters overfiowed, and the cellars In the
low part Of the city were flooded.
Along the front the high tides, CON

that fell submerged number OF the
wharves. The greatest damage, how
ever, as usual, WAS done along Shipley

the flood that came rushing down DOLL
Idirections on Seventh ana Eightt
streets, and the result was that ce llarI

torn up.
Street car travel on Front street be
tween Monroe and jackson streets wa
again interrupted by the vast volume
of water that rushed down Front stree
lhill, carrying cart loads Of sand ant
tgravel along with II.
Occasionally the wind was high, bu
no special damage was done. A par
of the coal schnte, of the Charles War
lner Company at Market stree
was torn off, and limbs of trees strewe'
the ground in many directions.

overfiowing to do any damage.

that corn fields have been very muc
flooded, corn knocked down, and fencs
that crossed streams carried away. Th
ferry boat Peerless, partially wrecke
in the storm at Philadelphia yesterda
afternoon, was brought 70 the Harla

itself about three or four miles south.

track Of the cyclone was about hun
dred yards wide. 1t travelled in a
zigzag course, its general direction
being somewhat west Of north. At
wilma, " here the new Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad CROSSES the valley OF the
Little Elk creek, the storm seems to
have been of unusual violence.

THE C NUMBER
which Drew the Sewing MachIng al
Brunell's.

Anxious ladies and curious men poured
into the dry goods establishment of Bru-
nell x Co. last evening to witness the
drawing of the New Home sewing
machine. A LEADER reporter strolling
along Seventeenth street was attracted by
the large crowd in and about the store,
and walked in to see what had broken
loose. There was no confusion, but a
suppressed interest in the mysterious per-
formances of three men was evident on
the faces Of the people who crowded the
store. whats up" asked the knight
of the pencil. Sewing maching draw
ing" sentenhously replied a man who
looked as if he was bored to death and
wished his wife would go home with him.
The three mysterious men were DR.. Hop
kins, Doug. Rhodes and Pitt Covert, the
committee experimenting the drawing.
The holder of the lucky ticket, No. l0g,
was Miss Pauline Chase, who is to-day the
envied possessor of a nice new machine.

VIRGINIA DALE MINES.
some New DIseoyeries--A Crushing
Machine at WORK.

The prospects are that some very good
mines will eventually be discovered over
on the headwaters of the Box Elder creek,
not far from Virginia Dale. At present
there are some mines located nearly on
the line between Colorado and Wyoming
which are being prospected quite extern
sively, and work is still being done there.
Arrangements have been made only on a
limited scale, and thus far nothing def
mite can be predicted from them. Parties
who have had some experience, however,
claim hat the indications are good and
that something valuable will sooner or
later be brought to light there. Below
this place, on the Box Elder, there are
copper mines that have already been
tested and proved, and are found TO pay
well. An embryo mining camp has been
started there and quite a force of men are
at work. A crushing mill has been put
in, which is now at work with good re-
suits. In time, quite a little tow will
probably spring up there, for the country
around the mining camp possesses some
natural advantages which go far toward
making even n mining camp II success.
There is plenty of wafer, timber and feed
in that region, and agricultural products
are raised there to a very considerable ex-
tent.
Prof. Aughey will make a trip to that
locality and make an investigation, which
will throw more light on the subject than
now exists.
