SEPTEMBER SHOWERS
THE RAIE-REcoRD FOR THE MONTH
REAcHIEa HIGH FIGURES
A wetter Season than is Usually Expe-
rienoed in Virginia at this
Season.

The weather is not dry topic. Quite
the contrary, for this has SO far been one
OF the wettest Septembers on record. In
frequency Of showers, in continual
cloudiness. and in the quantity Of rain
that has fallen the month has attained
eminence. Usually at this season we
expect warm, clear days, and fairly cool
nights and occasional showers. In this
month last year-a year in which there
were ten inches of rain more than the
average-the fall was but 1.19.
TIE EFFECT.
This deluging Of lots and streets and
alleys and sewers no doubt has its bene-
fits, and il NAV result in valuable SANTA
tion, and if so it should not be regretted,
no matter what the public's loss may be
in money. This loss, however, is necessa-
rily large. Consider the time brick
layers, carpenters, timers, painters,
skaters, excayators, brick-yard bands, and
many, many others have lost from this
spell of rain. Many large enterprises
have been brought to a standstill. The
country roads are well nigh "bottOm-
less" and all streams are swollen, but,
such has been the measured descent OF
the water from the clouds, few dangerous
freshets have been reported; but there
is no telling what may happen unless we
have a changeof the weather programme
very soon.
At the Petersburg railroad bridge here
yesterday evening the river had only
risen four feet above its usual height.
Two feet Of this water came III since
Saturday.
FROM THE RECORD.
For the seventeen years prior to 1888
the rainfall here averaged 1882 inches.
Seventy was a wet year, 1892
inches having fallen, and 1886 was
wetter still, the figures having been
53. "a; while 1887 reached the considera-
BILE amount of 47.03. So far in this
year the record gives the following ex-
hibit III comparison with that Of 1887:

703 EAST MAIN STREET,
RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 10, 1888.
Hon. Committee on Grounds and
BujldiBgs, Richmond, Vd.:
Gentlemen, reply to the letter of
the City Engineer asking me to explain
the delay IN delivering brick TO the City
Hall beg to make the following state
ment:
Since my last communication | have
in good faith endeayOred to carry out
the conditions of the contract, sending
large quantities of brick, very great
proportion of them being rejected and
thrown back on my hands at a very
great loss 10 me.
SO far as have been able to learn my
brick have been refused in great proper
tion simply and solely on account OF
color which | deny in toto to be any
test whatever of the quality of my brick.
| regret, moreover, to sag that this
wholesale rejection has been made with
out proper inspection, simple glance at
many entire cart-loads having con-
demned the contents en- btOc.
respectfully ask the committee to
investigate this matter.
Very respectfully,
JAMES r. WERTH.
'ToTHER SIDE.
Mr.. Lyshon, foreman of the brick
work of the City Hall building, explained
in detail why the brick were rejected,
and insisted that they did not come up to
the specifications in the contrac. in seve-
raj particulars.
Colonel Cutshaw also stated how and
where the brick differed from the speci-
fications. Hesad that when a cart-load OF
brick was sent to the building and a large
proportion was found very inferior, the
whole load was sent back to the firm to
be culled.
VERY FINE QUALITY.
Mr.. c. p. f. Burgwyn appeared be-
fore the committee and stated that, IN
his opinion, the brick furnished the city
by Mr.. Werth were Of very fine quality.
The committee here rose, as Mr..
Crenshaw had to attend the meeting Of

Several Electric Cars disabled.

Several Of the electric cars were dis
abled yesterday afternoon and last night
in consequence of the long-continued
heavy rains. The wires have been kept
very wet now for more than Il week, and
the consequence is that that the Insula-
tion is by no means good. The electric
machinery is very sensitive. and this
strain on it causes 1t to become heated,
and even to burn out very quickly. A
DLspdtch reporter called at the car
sheds, corner of Twenty-ninth and p
streets, about 10 O'Clock last night and
was informed that "about two cars had
become disabled" On his way to the
Office the scribe saw one car that was
being taken to a switch to be run to the
sheds, and was informed that there were
two more at another point on the line in
the same condition. As travel is not
generally large in such bad weather
there were only moderate number Of
cars out yesterday until late in the after
noon, when others were put in service.
Whether these supplanted disabled ones
or were additions to the number IN use
WAS not learned.
