rainfall for several years, There was q
,ime when Wheeling was visited sever
NJ tines n season by one OF these Hoods
ont al the clouds, and the elements
seem to have returned to their old Gus
tom,
oveJIowed, sewer mouths taxed beyond
their capacity, and many OF the streets
Hooded. Particularly was this so OF
Market street south from Twelfth. II
was one sheet Of yellow mud from curb
10 curb, and the situation was rendered
much worse by the torn up condition
Of the street, where the ditch for the
underground telephone conduit is open,
The bank OF earth from this kept the
water OIL Twelfth street and within
norrow bounds on Market, At places
the flood found openings and ran on the
sidewalk. AT such places little SAND
liars. chips and all sorts of debris were
lett on the pavement, while in the
street piles OF mud were deposited, anu
pretty good sized timbers washed ON
distance. AT the Mcclure house the
water was above Il horses ioofs. PlanRs
washed on the street railway and en-
barrassed the running Of tho cars.
Several cellars were wet slightly, and
those of the Masonic temple and Lange
block. now in course OF erection, were
flooded. This will delay work Tor ut
least Il day on these buildings.
The telephone conduit ditch and the
manholos we're filled with muddy water,
Which will make a nasty job OF bailing.
Perhaps tho worst damage, however,
WAS to sewers. At Twelfth and Market
stroets there is II broken brick sewer in
the telephone ditch. This had been
covered witEboards, and the water rose
in tho ditch so as to float the boards,
aud when it receded they got into tho
sever, blocking IT in an ugly way.
At tho Exchange bank, cornell OF
Twelfth and Main streets, tho openings
oil the sewer were quickly blocked with
earth and debris, and II little lake ere
ated. The weight OF water and rubbish
from above burst the sewer, and the
brick paved sidewalk was badly torn
up by the pressure OF the water from
beneath.
The storm caused a short circuit on
the trolley wires Of the street railway in
some way, and alter the storm ours were
stopped numerous times by tho power
going of. This trouble had not been
definitely located ut a late hour.
last evening after O'Clock another
heavy rain fell for some time, but 1T
was not to DO compared with that Of the
afternoon. 1t was preceded and nc.
companied BY u superb show Of light
ming, in the west at first and afterwards
over the whole sky.
Picknickers who were remote from

was fortunate in having shelter SO con
vouiont, but many u lady got her spring
suit wet ut that. Passengers in open
summer cars also came in for q share OF
tho ducking.
quite a Job OF street cleaning is en-.
tailed on the board OF public works, on
account Of the tens OF mud washed on
the paved streets.
