Sewers Damaged ana Houses Flooded.
Streets and Sewers Clesned.
The storm which passed over this city
last evening was terrific one It
began to rain about 4 o'clock AID
continued uatil s o'clock. The rain
yesterday afternoon came down
in torrents. Many Of the sewers
were flooded beyond their capacity
and the water ran all over the streets.
at Lancaster avenue and Adams street
is the Adams street sewer. This has
but lately been built and is one of the
best in the city, but it is not large
enough to accom- modate the tremendous
quantity OF water which flows into 1t.
From Broome street to Adams. Lancas-
ter avenue locked like q small river.
Passengers on the street cars had to
wade through water several inches deep
to reach the pavement. Heavy stones,
railroad sleepers and bricks were washed
swiftly down the street from tha quarry
at Broome street by the water.
All the water which could not flow
into the sewer spread over the surround
ing property. flooding cellars and houses.
Between Reed street and Lancaster ave-
nue. are q number of small frame houses
occupied by colored people. In these the
water was about two feet above the
floor in the lower story, and the people
had to remove to the upper rooms OF the
houses.
The sewer between Elm and Linden
and Franklin and Harrison streets
also proved to bs too small to
accommodate the great amount Of water
which came down from the open lots
above. At Franklin street the upper
part Of the sewer gave way and about
ten yards of earth fell into it, blocking
the sewer. The water spread over the
adjacent street and yards, but
did no damage. This sewer was
broken in several other places,
also, The rain performed one feat
however. which the Street and Sewer
Department has been laboring in vain to
accomplish It,gave the streets the best
cleaning they have had for a long time
and flushed every sewer in the city. The
city engineers report the rainfall to be
81 inches. which is very great for the
short time the rain lasted.

Smuggling Jewels.

Commenting upon evidence in 8 re-
cent smuggling case tried in San An
tonic, Texas, District Attorney Evans
told his experience in the trial of men
charged with bringing goods across the
border without having paid duty.
The government, he said, might
as well abolish the duty on jewelry and
precious stones, so far as its value
along the Mexican border is concerned.
Great quantities OF such are brought
into this country but it is very seldom
that this duty is paid upon them. OF
course, the smaller an article is the
easier it is to escape detection. Fine
jewelry and precious stones are safely
Struggled on this account and quite a
number of the smugglers are known
to the custom house officials, who, how
ever cannot be detected.
Men and women almost known to
have jewelry in their possession are
stopped and searched. but nothing
dutiable is revealed. A thousand dol
lars worth of precious stones might be
hidden under plaster. False pockets
in clothes and wearing apparel are
not common. do not believe that as
many precious stones as formerly are
brought from Mexico, but there is plen-
ty OF Mexican jewelry Struggled into
