THE HEAVY STORMS.

Though the overhanging clouds threatened
rain all day yesterday, and many who took their
customary Sunday rides and walks prepared for
it, numbers of the street car patrons were
caught without umbrellas or overshoes and
stood in wet and unpleasant feeling groups on
the street corners or huddled up under some
neiShboring porch waiting for a car only to be
afraid on its approach to venture forth in the
downpour. Those who were sheltered from the
rain by protecting roofs enjoyed very much the
discontinue of those less fortunate, and
every now and then some particularly brave
lady, with the lower part Of her dress clasped
about her waist, would begin a wild chase for a
car a square ahead OF her, even those who were
drenched to the skin could not refrain from
bursting into loud laugh aud applauding her
pluck. The rain made many washouts in town,
and the unpaved streets are all almost impassa-
BILE. For the water that fell on the heights Valley
street. with its steep and narrow cutters offered
a ready passage to lower level, and down it
rushed over flowing cutters, sidewalks and the
roadbed. only to be suddenly stopped in its
mad rush at the corner of Q by sharp turn Of
the street. Curbs and turns, however, were of
no consequence long, and over the sidewalk Of
Q street and into the back lots of the High
street residents it went never stopping until
many doorsteps were completely covered and
many cellars filed. For depth Of three inches
the entire surface of Valley street was washed
off, and the street today is anything but good
roadway for heavily loaded wagons.
