CLEVELAND, Nov. 23-The storm here
today was the worst in a long time.
Rain has fallen continuously since
yesterday forenoon. About noon today
it became so dark lamps and gas were
lighted all over the city. The darkness
lasted half an hour when the wind
shifted to the west and rain came down
in torrents. The wind was blowing a
gale at shutdown hut sbusided somewhat
since. 1t is growing colder. A railroad
nan who came in over the Erie road
this evening said there was two feet of
n twenty miles south of the city.
PITTSBURG, Nov. G3-The storm today
caused great anxiety among river men.
There are more than 1.00O.OO0 bushels of
coal living in boats in the harbor await
ing shipment and for a time it was
feared the boats would be swept away.
Several bargcs broke from their moor
ings but were recovered without loss.
On the Allegheny river the Star Sand
company's hosting boat and engine
were capsized and sunk. The crew
escaped injury. Several coal boats are
reported leaking and will no doubt sink.
Great damage is reported along the
line OF the Baltimore d Ohio west of
COnnellsville. Trees and Outhouses are
reported to have been blown down. The
coal tipple at Alpsville is almost a COM
plete wreck. At New Brighton, Pa, on
the Erie IL Pittsburg railroad, a large
tree was blown down at the intersection
OF Main and Harmony streets, where
the telephone wires cross the trolley wire
of the Beaver traction railroad. The
tree fell on the telephone wires and
forced them down on the cleo
trio wire which was earring
800 volts. The results were
startling. Harrison Ewing, a farmer of
Industry township, was driving across
First street when one of his horses
stepped upon the broken telephone wire
and was killed instantly. The residences
of w. II. E%verson, f. p. Townsend and
Harry Barker, located in different sec
tiOns OF the town, were set on fire by
Geographic lines but the flames were ex-
tinguished. At Butler, Pa, the store
buildings of w. II. Goering, wholesale
commission merchant; l.. Arras, har-
ness dealer, and Mrs. Fay's boarding
house were blown down and completely
demolished. The occupants were buried
in the ruins, but Joseph Manly Jr. was
the only one injured. The ruins took
fire but were quickly extinguished by
the fire department. This evening the
wind again became very high in Pitts
burg and the rain turned into snow.
A heavy wind and rain storm amount
ing almost to a hurricane passed over
this city about 1870 today, doing great
damage to property. The walls of the
new Metzerott Music hall, in course of
construction, were blown down and sew
eral persons killed and many injured.
