PHILADELPHIA, Aug. .2.-The heavy
rains which set in early on Tuesday even
ing, and continued until Wednesday
noon resulted in one of the heaviest
floods which has visited the city for
years. The Schuylkill was converted
into raging torrent and the food
gradually rose until about 7:3O o'clock
Wednesday night. The water works
were stopped during the afternoon, but
the machinery has not been damaged
beyond coating of mud
Fat Manayunk the water rose to a
point eighteen feet above low water
mark, which is higher than it has been
since 1869 At noon the mills along the
river were stopped and all the employees
were set to work removing goods from
the lower floors. Twenty-Five mills in
all were flooded, but the principal dam
age done will be through the enforced
stoppage of the mills
The tracks of the railroads along the
river below Market street were sub
merged, and travel was stopped for q
short time, butlno damage to the tracks
were reported Considerable damage
was done to the wharf properties along
the lower part of the city, and the
meadows were flooded No loss of life
has been reported except the dro wning
of one boy near Gray's ferry, while at
tempting to take ride on the wreck
ages floating. The total loss caused by
the flood will probably reach very
large sum.
