Wheeling Creek Higher than it Ever
Reached Before.

WHEELING, w. VA, Aug. 81, p. NJ
A storm which, in its disastrous effects,
equals that of July IA last has been in pro
gress here since 3 o'clock this morning, and
shows no signs Of abatng. Wheeling creek,
in narrow valley east of here, is foot
higher at o'clock tonight than ever be-
fore. Roads are flooded from to q feet
deep, aud bridges destroyed. The valley IS
now one angry food, and the damage can
only he estimated by the wrcckage that
dasheS through this city and out into the
river. At $40 o'clock this afternoon
a piece of the Baltimore and Ohio wooden
bridge from the Pittsburg division struck
The Baltimore and Ohio bridge at Main and
SixteeGth streets, which was destroyed in
July and rebuilt, and it was carried away
with the rapidity Of a cannon ball Warned
by former experience, there was no person
ON it.
FALL OF A BRIDGE.
At $50 o'clock, while 900 or more peo-
ole were massed on the substantial stone
bridge over W heeling creek at Main street,
a man ON the bank 100 feet above shouted
a warning and the panic stricken crowd
rushed over and into each other
in wild effort TO reach terra firma.
After the bridge was cleared those
nearest, teeing it still apparently safe,
but before they reached the edge the bridge,
140 feet in length, fell with an awful crash.
The water leaped sixty feet into the air.
The water, gas, and natural gas mains,
sewers, telegraph and telephone wires, are
electric light wires. and street car and its
conductor were carried down.
OTHER STRUCTURES IN DANGER.
The Baltimore aud Ohio depot, built over
the creek, and the Market street iron bridge
it is feared will go.
HThe Losses will reach S2S0,000
The fact that the waters rose gradually
and in daylight is believed TO have pre-
vented heavy loss of life. II is known that
five Baltimore and Olio bridges, rebuilt
after the former food, have been destroyed,
and the Wheeling and Elm Grove railroad
bridge over Woods Run is also gone.
All trains have been ordered abandoned
on the Ohio River road. About 200 dele
gates to the republican state convention at
Charleston tomorrow are stuck on this
road at Sistersville, forty miles south on the
river
