tonight which was practically Il cloud
burst, did great damage throughout this

Avenue and Duquesne Traction company

gave little warning. The water came
down in sheets. and in a few minutes the
streets were like running rivers. Every
street car line IN the two cities except
the Birmingham Traction was blockaded
for hours. At Forty-eighth street, Law

flooded from one end to the other. Seven
miles of sawmill plank road is destroyed
and the planks carried away and the
roadbed ruined.
