Rfysns orRAIN.



FROM Every Evening OF Thursday.
The rain storm which set in shortly
after midnight has continued unabated
and, up TO 2 o'clock, there We're no signs
of cessation. The volume of water that
fell during the morning Was immense, and
it dashed with such fury as to penetrate
everything.
Streets in the lower part of the city are
inundated and at Front and Adams streets
the sewer cannot receive the tremendous
volume of the flood, aud the street car
tracks are covered by a foot of water. All
the sewer outlets into the river are
| flooded and in the lowlands the water Is
creeping up with alarming rapidity to-
ward the houses. The cutters along Market
street have been transformed into minin-
ture rivers, and the water rushes madly
along taking everything before it. What
ever nlse may be the effect of the rain it will
give the streets a thorough cleaning.
| Added to the great volume of rain that
| has fallen the water of the fast dissolving
! snow adds much to the flood.
The heavy wind this morning combined
/ with the rain made travelling most diff
cult. Heavy wind caps wrecked UNI
brellas professionally and without regard
TO quality or cost. II sent the rain into
every granny or creyice, and buildings
which have stood the test of storms for
years, yielded to the force of the rain and
leaked badly.
The roof of the new courthouse could
not turn the water and leaked badly, the
rain being driven under the stating, and
ran through the ceiling. The roof Of
the Federal building also is leaking, and
in fact half the roofs of the city are
likewise admitting the water.
The Brandywine began to show the
effects of the flood about noon and isnow
rising rapidly. The ice is breaking up
and passing away. BY night fall it will
spread over its banks and the low
lands and if the storm continues there is
fear that by midnight its flood may
reach such proportions as TO threaten the
safety of buildings along its banks.
The Christians is also rising fast and in
some places has already Overlooked its
banks. TIE ice ON the stream has broken
and is passing out into the river.
An old resident, during the heaviest
part of the rain this afternoon, stated
that Wilmington had not experienced a
rain storm of such violence and OF SINH
lar duration, for "a years.

New YoRK, Feb. 11.-General Hancock
has left his family without means. He
died poor, and the fact being known to
his friends and comrades, subscription
fund has been started for the widow. The
plan was originated by ex-Police Commits
sioner General w. F. {" Baldy') Smith,
General j. ID. Fry, William Burns and Il.
l.. Crittenden. j. Pierpont Morgan is
treasurer of the fund. Already the fund
has begun its growth, these sums having
been subscribed here: Samuel j. Tilden
(head of the list), $1,000; William r.
Grace, $500; NJ. b. Brown, $3.50; John
D. Crimmins, $3.50. The subscription
paper reads thus, in opening:
Another great man has died poor. An
other noble woman has been left with n
meagre support, though she shared the
fortunes Of her husband and did her full
part In making his fame. Liberal and
patriotic citizens cave suggested to intimate
friends of General Hancock and his widow
that fund be raised for the benefit OF his
family. We, therefore, knowing General
Hhneock's circumstances and the drafts
upon his pay by the Inequalities arising
from his official position and the endless
charities to which he responded, especially
those resulting from the civil war, EARNESTLY
commend the suggestion.
George W. Childs and A. J. Drexel of
Philadelphia hayeeach contributed 81 GOO
to the fund.
