ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June /, 1S96.-Shortly
before two o'clock this morning the two
stricken cities, st. Louis and East St.
Louis, received another scare. A storm
came up from the south accompanied by
low rumbling thunder and almost CON
tinuous flashes of lightning. Then, a
lew minutes later, big black clouds ap-
peared ON the northern horizon and rolled
up until they covered the city. There
was considerable wind, though nothing
at all approaching a hurricane or tor
nado. The elemental disturbance lasted
for nearly an hour and then became a
slow, drizzling rain, which had increased
to q downpour at ten O'Clock this morn-
ing. The work of clearing away the
ruins is being carried on in a more sys-
temJttc manner today, but the rain
makes the work all the more difficult.
