were then considered phenomenal, have been
surpassed. Many small sewers have burst
aud the food coming up through the ground

places. The estimated cost OF replacing this
pavement is $500
Railroads running to Chicago from the
west report much damage from washouts

Suburban Property Damaged.
The extreme west end OF the city Is In
some parts a lake and the su buros lying west

greatly.
This evening the north branch Of the Chi
cago river raised to such an extent that the

midnight it is reported 400 houses In that
suburb are surrounded by water for depth
OF from one 10 three feet.
The town OF Cicero is also flooded, many
houses being entered by means of temporary
bridges.
Through the streets of Austin this after
noon water was flowing several inches deep.
Not basement escaped flooding and wooden
sidewalks are fiosting around in all direc-
tions. The same reports come from Ride
land, more than other suburban towns. Tho
amount of damage In the city and outlying
districts can't even be approximately esti-
mated.
The rainfall Yesterday was 3.S inches, and
nearly as much fell on each OF the two pre-
ceding days. The great lumber district near
Twenty-second street and the river has suf-
fered considerably, and several elevators

chants bank, in which the Western
Union telegraph Office is located, cutting
off all communication with the outside world
for q time.
The Illinois Central bridge, though heavily

The Deal in the Erie and the Black
Friday Affair.
As the story of Gould's Erie and Black
Friday infamy has been told for years by
the press, it probably would be well to see
what Gould says about Erie. He seldom
talked, much less about himself, but he is
on record as talking freely on few occas-
ions and few years ago was one of these
occasions. He said: "My connection with
the Erie road is being constantly misrepre-
sented. / found out that Mr. Drew was
selling the stock short He was right as
far as the intrinsic value of the security
was concerned. But the company could
not possibly consent TO keep in the board of
directors member who was depreciatinr
its property. II was accordingly resolved
to keep Mr.. Drew out. Mr. Vanderbilt
and myself had large amount of proxies
which were given us on the understanding
that Mr.. Drew was to be kept out Mean
while he got around Mr.. Vanderbilt by a
back door and managed to gain his conniv.
