+ CLEVELAND, o., July The most-ter-
rife thunderstorm Of the season visited
Cleveland about z o'clock this evening.
The day had been very hot, the temper
ture reaching 05 degrees in the after
noon. Between 0 and Z o'clock there
was brief ratnstorm. It was followed
a half hour later by a second storm.
Clouds as black as ink came up in the
vest and passed half way over,the city
before the storm broke. Then the rain
Tell in torrents, swept along by high
wind. It was impossible to SEQ across
the down town streets except when the
binding flashes OF lightning came. The
bolts seemed to be striking oil around.
Horse and electric street cars were
stopped and the passengers huddled
together in alarm. The rainfall must
have been nearly three inches and tho
street were flooded with water. The
lightning played havoc with telephone
and telegraphic wires, but SO far as can
be learned no damage to buildings re-
shifted. -.
