Immediately, they managed to pull him
out Of the water. Mr.. Rosenberg did
not lose consciousness, and did not
show signs of serious injury. He was
placed on the depot platform, and made
as comfortable as possible until the
arrival of the patrol wagon, in which
he was conveyed 10 his home. His
arm panied him, and he complained
frequently of his side. DR.. Rau was
summoned as soon as he arrived home,

they were not serious, unless there were
internal injuries.
The slip At the Terminal station was
a bad one For a distance extending
about hundred yards east and west,
and about 20 yards wide, the ground
has settled from one to five feet, and is
liable TO slip still more. There are
several tracks on the portion which
has slipped, and a few freight cars.
Singularly, the track and platform
which gave way, is on the inside Of a
track which is still standing and ap-
parently unnjured. This fact proves
Tat the accident was due TO the slip in
the made" ground on the bank. The
railroad officials promptly took every
precaution to guard against any fur

was so severe and accompanied with so
much lightning that persons in the Sec
ton which was visited were not allowed
to sleep.
All accounts say that it was the Sc
verest storm, While it lasted, that has
ever been witnessed in this neighbour
hood. Within a short time after the
rain began to fall it gained in fury, and
the water came down in sheets. One
man who was in the rain said it was so
severe that he was compelled to get
under a roof fer sheleer. All the
streams were swollen to many times
their usual size, and in short time
they were overlooking their banks, and
in bottom lands were fully a quarter of
mile in width. With very few eXcep-
tons. persons who were in danger
were warned in time and the loss Of
life was therefore slight.
The water invaded many houses on
the banks of the small! streams and in
the lowlands, and carried off houses
and all kinds Of household furniture.
1t came so suddenly that there was no
time to carry valuable to places of
safety. Many dwellings and stables
were also carried away. The greatest
damage, however. was to the growing
crops, which are practically a total Joss
in the devastated district. The total
loss from this source can hardly be es-
timated from the meagre reports which
have thus far reached this city, but il
is certain that they will aggregate many
thousands Of dollars. Country roads
are impossible on account of slips and
many bridges have been washed away.
The Ohio River, Baltimore & Ohio and
b.. z. &, c. roads also lose heavily, and
will be seriously Inconvenience for
many days on account of the time which
must necessarily elapse before the
roads can be put in order. The damage
to the first named read will be greater
than that caused by the recent storms
in the vicinity of Sistersville.
The story of the damage wrought by
the cloud-burst in this section will be
found below.

and on the first floors of many dwell
ings in Elm Grove. That portion Of
the National road between the depot
and the stone bridge at Monument
place was covered TO the depth of over
a foot. II covered the floor of the
barn of the Suburban Railway Com
pany, but did not reach the car. Lit
tie damage was done, however, beyond
that done by the mud, and the de-
struction of some growing crops in
the vicinity.
Much of the debris brought down by
the water lodged against the B. e o.
bridge at the Grove, but the current
was swift, and kept an opening. This
saved the bridge. Among the debris
were many articles Of household fur
uiture, and other evidences that the
water had entered houses and carried
off the contents, if not actually remov-
ing the houses. Between Elm Grove
and Wheeling, no damage was done,
but the water spread over the low
lands, and invaded many out-build
ings, to a depth of one or two feet. At
the Thompson place, a portion of the
stone wall was carried away, and at
the big bend at Steenrod's the creek
cut new channel for itself, and it was
a stream of about twenty feet in depth
and in places full 500 feet in width.
The debris encountered obstacles at the
railroad bridgs at the B. & o. tunnel
and was stacked up very high, but the
structure was not damaged.
B. & o. DEPOT GOES.
The raging torrent of water in the
creek caused the destruction of one
span of the B. & o. depot and the
larger portion of the platform. The
water came down with such volume
and force that the railroad officials
became alarmed for the safety Of their
property at the mouth of the creek,
which was not of the most substantial
character. Precautions were taken
when it was discovered that the wa
ter was weakening sone Of the piers.
Temporary fences were erected, and
a force of watchmen warned people
of their danger.
At about 11:15 o'clock the big shed
and the depot platform gave way with
a crash. The north pier swayed TO

during the night and early morning,
swelling the volume of water until it re-

years ago, which did so much damage
in this city, carrying away among other
things. the Main street stone bridge.
The amount of drift was large, AID
with the force of the water made il
source OF danger 10 anything with
which il came in contact.
Both branches of the creek came out
at once at Elm Grove, and carried drift
and debris of ever character. In an al

between the time when the two bridges
went out. The B. &, o. bridge went out

This section was visited early yester-
day morning by one Of the most de-
s.ructive rain storms in recent years.
The area in which the damage was done
extended On both sides Of the river for
a distance OF ten miles east and west,
and about an equal distance north and
south. Wheeling caught very heavy
rain about the same time, but below
this city the storm reached the magni-
tued of a cloud-burst. The rain started
TO fall before midnight and continued
