MUCH WIND AND RAIN
ALMOST TWO INCHES OF WATER
FALLS IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS.
Much Damage Done I'm the Lower Dis
trfcts of the Ctiy-Ffve Feet of
Water in the Tunnel.

Between and o'clock yesterday morn
ing central Indiana received the heaviest
downpour of rain since the destructive flood
of September, 1895. In this city the storm
came about 4 o'clock. with terrific velocity.
1t came from the west and southwest,
bringing with it hail and rain. The wind
blew at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour AID the thunder rolled and the light
ming cracked. In three-quarters of an hour
1.9 inches of water fell. AT the weather bu-
reau it is said this locality is about even on
rainfall. The chief of the bureau has re-
ports from ten different points in Indiana.
From most of these places heavy rains are
reported. At Bloomington, Cambridge City
and Columbus there was very little rain.
The damage to trees, cellars and high
ways in this city was extensive. John T.
Brush was one of the sufferers. Several
fine forest oaks at his suburban home were
blown down. two of them falling dangerous
ly near the house. Many of the heavy shade
trees on Park avenue, Meridian street and
Senate avenue were torn and twisted, and
some of them blown TO the ground. The
sewers and cutters were choked up in differ
ent parts of the city. In the east part of
the city cellars were filed with water. and
on Fletcher avenue, where the ground is
low the water entered some of the houses.
The avenue itself resembled lake at s
o'clock yesterday morning. Councilman
O'Connor and County Commissioner Rel
necke, who live on Fletcher avenue, were
severe sufferers.
c. II. Schad at the corner of Washington
and Noble streets, had to can the fire de-
partment at o'clock to pump out his eel
lar. He was one of the Pogue's run suf-
ferers from last years flood. The street.
cars were unable to run through the tunnel
on account of five feet of water, which had
TO be pumped out with a fire engine. The
lightning did considerable damage to the
electric wires, and the electrician for the
Citizens Street-railroad Company was kept
busy all morning repairing the company's
wires.
The family of Mrs. Nellie JENNIE, at No.
122 Greenwood street, had a narrow escape
from falling tree. 1t blew down the
house, but broke it fell, which probably
saved the family. The roof was crushed in
and a bay window knocked off.
Shade trees were blown down in West
Indianapolis, and house on Sample street,
nearly completed, was knocked to pieces.
Hundreds of forest trees in the country
were destroyed by wind and lightning.

At leas, it is a fact that many other forms
of law violation pass under the notice OF the

attention being paid TO them.
Claude Iskerwood is one OF the victims of
this fee-grabbing system. He has decided 10
appeal his case and test the right OF the JUS
