Washington Again Flooded

For a few hours on Monday the mer.
chants and residents just south of Penn
sylvania avenue had a vivid reminder OF
the flood which little more Than q month
ago sweled the Potomac river and inun
lated considerable portion OF Washing
ton. One of the heaviest rain. storms ever
seen began in the morning and increasing
in severity became tremendous down
pour about Eoon, compelling people to
keep indoors. The water came down in
torrents and the sewers on the corners
were choked up, backing the water across
the streets from curb to curb. The lower
level of the city along the CeHtre market
and the produce houses on Pennsylvania
avenue suffered most, and here the water
was in some places three feet deep. C.l-
lars and in some insf ances the main Hoors.
were flooded, and the grocery men and the
produce dealers along Louisiana avenue
and the south side of Pennsylvania suffer
ed cor siderable l,ss from damage to their
stocks by the rapidly rising water. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Station, on Sixth
street, was again surrounded 10y water,
which came up almost to the main floor
of the building. Many people living in
the washed district had but recently had
their buildings repainted and touched up
since the recent freshet, and their discom-
iture shone out strongly against the back
ground of merriment on the part of the
street gamin who anticipated another
season OF fun. The rain abated after one
o'clock and the sewers soon carried off
the water, leaving the streets again passa-
BILE to pedestrians.

I'M MEMORIAM

ROGER 7. MATHEWS, aged l6 years, young
est son OF Mr.. James F. Matthews, died at
his fathers residence on the night OF June

On Sunday morning the 23rd Roger and bis
friend Ben Davis, after returning home from
attending early mass at st. Thomas Church
starr ted from the residence Of Mr. Matthews
with the intention Of visiting some friends.
But the moment they had taken their seats in
the vehicle the horse, which had been hired
for the occasion, dashed of at full speed across
the road and into the woods, and one of the
wheels striking violently against tree, both
boys were hurled from he buggy, Bennie for
tunstely escaping ubhurt, while Roger, falling
upon the wheel, received a mortal injury.
During that long Sunday, while the hearts
of his parents vacillatea between hope and
fear, the spark Of lite IN the injured boy
wsned fainter and fainter, till at the close of
day there seemed no longer any room for hope
But during the night u change for the better
took place, and those who called on Monday
