An OVERFLOW.
Tuesday night during the rain the cul-
vert across Hull street at the Richmond
and Danvile railroad tracks became
stopped MP with dfbris. and the large
amount of water had no means of escape.
The water in consequence backed up on
the north side Of Hull street until II had
gotten sufficiently high TO cover entirely
the wheels of the bOX-Cars standing on the
company's temporary tracks and reached
the door Of the One-stOTy brick house on
Hull rect near the railroad. The over
flow was caused by the accumulation of
dbris which had lodged against water
main running at right angles with and
through the culYert.
