hours time nearly one and one-quarter
inches of rain fell The temperature was
high before the rain and mercury ran
up to SO degrees and after it there was
a drop to 81 degrees, and the night was
cool and delightful.
While the storm lasted the rain fell in
torrents. The streets were flooded ana
washed in many places, sewers were
choked and unable to carry off the food
and sidewalks We're overlooked so that Pc
destrians had to wade or go around. The
street car tracks in many places We're
covered with sand and debris and had
to be cleared by track gangs before cars
could run. In a number of instances cars
We're derailed and travel was Interrupted
The lightning was vivid and came IN
binding flashes in quick succession. It
struck in several places, but so far as
known no serious damage was done
East of the city and in the vicinity OF
Bonaventure and Thunderbolt heavy hail
fell for about five minutes. The rain
washed the roads into gullies in places
and some crops were beaten down. but the
rain was needed and the farmers We're
glad to get it.

cOrder on the Charge.

cOrder on the Charge.
Neil Gndea was turned over to the city

Ledlie had Hartigan arrested by Police

In court yesterday morning Ledlie said
he was watching his brother, who is a
minor. The latter, he said, had been
going with bad company and freQuenting
barrooms, and he thought it his duty to
look after him. He was standing behind
a telegraph pole when Hartigan came
out and asked him what he was doing
there. He told him that he was doing
some detective work. Hartigan seized
hold of him, and when he resisted struck
him and threw him to the ground.

from that told by Ledlie. He thought

always set a loss limit OF $4,000 francs
