LIKE A CLOUD BURST.
Streets in Places Converted Into
Rivers.

Rivers.
CLEVELAND, O., May ga rain
storm, much in the nature of cloud
burst, swept over Northwestern
Pennsylvania this morning doing great
damage to property. At Cory streets
were converted into rivers in some
places two feet deep, tearing up the
sewers and washing out the roads. The
railroad yards were completely inun-
dated. the flood washing out some OF
the side tracks. At one time the water
between the Wells-FargO and American
Express offices and First avenue was
six feet deep, flooding both offices
and the large platform on both
sides of the union depot, the water
reaching the waiting rooms. The buSi-
ness men on First avenue, Main and
Center streets have sustained heavy
losses. The railroads both east and
west of the city sustained heavy dam
age. The valley from Cory to irwin
town, a distance of twenty miles, is
complete lake of water from one to
three miles in width. The loss will
probably reach 100000 or more. Inc
public highways in the surrounding
country are nearly impossible, SO that
it will be week before travel will again
be resumed. At Meadville, the light
ming cut out all the electric
lights. and several buildings were
struck, although none were severely
damaged. Several streets we're flooded,
and extensive damage resulted in the
lower portion of the city from the rapid
rising of French creek. Three bridges,
a slaughter house, and numerous small
huiIdinps and sidewalks were swept
away. Reports from all directions indi-
cate that the damage in this vicinity has
been heavy. The New York, Pennsyl-
vania & Ohio and the Meadville & Lines
vile railroads both suffered considerable
damage from Washouts. Near Union
City, on the former line, a hole forty
feet long and twenty-five feet deep was
scooped from under the track. This
washout was accidentally discovered
just before the arrival of the Chicago
limited express.

BINGHAMToN. n. Y, May 23.-The
Owego National bank, of Owego, is not
doing business to-day. On the closed
doors is posted the following note;
"Pending an examination of its affairs,
this bank is temporarily closed. De-
posltors need have no fear" The cash.
ier of this bank is G.. A. Thompson, who
is charged by G. H. Platt. presi-
dent of the public grain and
stock exchange, with acting in
concert with James F. Dee to
defraud the exchange of $4,000. He
was the correspondent of the exchange
at Owego. People who have been doing
business with the bank do not appear to
be at all alarmed. There is an impress
sion that the suspension and the alleged
conspiracy are in some way connected.
A later dispatch from Owego says the
suspension is due to the late develop
ments In the big Four" collapse. One
of the directors of the bank said this
morning that their deposits amounted
to but $4,000. Cashier Thompson is out
of town, probably at Newport News,
Va, where his wife has been staying

BUTTE, Mont, May 23.-It transpired
at the inquest held to-day on the body
of John Dempsey, who was found dead
in his cabin, that he is cousin of the
pugilist. Jack Dempsey, and although
nearly destitute. always took the sport
ing papers to watch the movements OF
his distinguished relative. The cabin
where he met his death is lonely spot
on Divide creek, seventeen miles from
here, and just where the waters flow
one way to the Atlantic and the other
to the Pacific. Dempsey was a pros
pector, owning several claims on which
he worked during the summer, selling
the ore to smelters. He was born In
New York state, and was an old canal
man. He has relatives in Utica and
Paris Hill. N. Y. The inquest failed to
show anything criminal connected With
his death. He had been allowed to pass
away alone one mile from any other
habitation, with no medicine or attend
ants. Every day or two some miner
would drop in and build fire. The
last day Dempsey had apparently In
frenzy thrown himself from the bed,
bit his finger and scratched himself.
The bruises and cuts are thought to
have resulted from his own struggles.
He suffered from rheumatism and cry
sipilas for years. The body has been
buried here.

Judge Stearns to-day. This is an i'm
portant suit. In 1858 Edward Becker
and John D. Howard were residents of

for $1,000. He offered mortgage on
1910 acres of land situated in the center

Becker asked for an accounting, but
Howard held that the deed gave him the
property. Suit was brought in 1887, and
last year the supreme court decided
that Howard's title was good. The land
is now valued at half million dollars.
