CLEVELAND, o., May 1S.-One OF the
worst rain storms that ever visited this
city. started in last Sunday night and
continued without interruption until
midnight last night. The rnin came
down in torrents, causing all the low
lands TO be flooded and the damage to
railroads lumber dealers and many
other business interests cannot be esti-
mated at this hour with any degree of
accuracy.
The Cuyahoga river rose to the high
est point ever known and thousands
Ipon thousands of feet of lumber
drifted into the lake. Everything that
would float went down In the raging
torrent.
Railroad traffic was completely sus-
pended on the Valley and the Cleve-
land u Canton railroads from the ef-
fects OF the flood. The water mum
dated the tracks of every eastbound
road SO that business was at stand
still. The Lake Shore, Nickel Plate
and Erie are blockaded. Passenger
and freight trains are sidetracked
where they were caught and are unable
