VIOLENT STORM.

Sc. Louis and Vicinity Deluged by Four
Hours Rain Storm-A Large Amount of
Damage Caused by the Overtaxfns OF
the Sewers-The River Des Peres ON q
Rarepage.
ST.. Louis, March 6.-For volume and
velocity the rainfall Thursday night
was almost unprecedented, aggregating
$50 inches. Water fell in torrents for
nearly four hours without a moments
cessation. overtaxing the capacity of
the sewers, washing away sections
of streets and sidewalks, flooding cell
lars, and making many of the down
town thoroughfares impossible. Many
of the ssEeet railway lines were conn
PEELED to suspend traffic for more than
an hour. Telephone, telegraph and
electric light wires became badly mixed
and some of them useless or dangerous.
The most damage was probably done
out in the west end and in the suburbs,
where everything is sea OF mud.
The River 6es PereS, swollen beyond
its banks by the rainfall of the past
few days, and augmented by Thursday
nights heavy downpour, tore wildly
along its route, sweeping everything
before it. On its way through Forest
park it came in violent con-
tact with several of the small
bridges that have but recently
been put in repair and in some
instances almost completely demolished
them. The overflow of this little river
also did much damage to property
along its southerly course, and es-
pecia1ly near its mouth and in the low
land districts in Cheltenham
The aggregate damage in the city and
suburbs will foot up many thousands
of dollars
