AT sCOTTSVILLE.
Houses Washed Awny-Narrow Es-
cape from Drowning.

SCOTTSvILLE. VA, May 23.-(Special)
After two very hot days-the thermome-
ter running nearly up to 30 in the shade
this place was Saturday evening y>x ed
by the severest electrical-storm it has
experienced in thirty years or more. The
storm came at first from the northwest,
and an angry cloud passed just north OF
here. Then it turned back, and, after
pretty severe hail-storm, the rain began
TO pour in torrents, and with only one or
two short intervals Ii continued for near
ly five hours. The downpour amounted TO
real waterspout. During the night
about IL 80 p. NJ Mink creek, that runs
through the town, got so high that it
washed down several frame buildings and
parts of buildings, carrying them some
distance. These formed large hammocks
of debris, which caused the water to
spread over Valley and Main streets con-
siderably, thus doing great damage.
Mr. Walker Heath had his tin-shop. a
two-story frame building. which spanned
the creek, carried away, with all his
tools, stock of materials, and tinware,
stoves, &C., and lodged against the Har-
rls lumber-house. This is a serious loss
to an energetic and Industrious young
man. ........
Mr.. r. i. Goodman had the rear end of
his livery stable torn away. 1t contained
nearly all his harness, some Of which was
recovered.
The water from the left branch over
flowed the large lanyard of f. c. Butler
& Co., and will cause serious loss on
stock &c.
The flood also damaged Charles Tenell
the blacksmith, considerably. Besides
forming two large hummocks in his
yards. it took away a good buggy and
smashed 1t TO pieces against a building
below. The water swept away a part of
Mr.. T. G. Grifiin's dwelling house, adj
joining Heath's tin-shop.
Mr.. John $. Davis hired buggy from
the livery stable TO go to his home.
mile below town. He had to cross
creek that comes in at the foot of
Drivers Hill. Before he and the driver
knew it, they found the water carrying
the horse buggy, and all down the
stream rapidly. Finally they got entangled
In the bushes. The driver jumped out and
escaped, but Mr.. Davis became caught
in the buggy and came near being drown
ed before help could reach him.
The oldest men here declare they have
never seen such rain before. large
amount of damage has been done by
washing. especially in fresh ploughed
corn-helds and patch ground. The rain
so far as 1 can learn. was local. Hard
ware river WILL no doubt, be very high
and do much damage to the new corn
crop.
A good many lambs were collected
here and riven to North Garden Friday,
and shipped north by Mr.. F. III. Birch, of
Covesville, who is engaged largely in
that business.
1t is seriously feared that the wheat
crop, which is forward and promising. Is
largely damaged by the storm; also, the
new Albenene railroad track.
From the time the storm began until |
the finish there seemed to be one con-
tinual blaze OF electrical fluid. and roar
ing, rafting, and bursting OF thunder. 1t |
was fearful.

Special, 1.-THE storm Saturday night was
the worst, In some respects, that has VS.
tied this section I'm years. The returns
from the country show loss OF life as
we'll as of property.
The storm approached this city from
the northwest and the rain was accom-
panied by heavy thunder and almost con-
tinuous lightning. The streets were soon
flooded, great streams coursing down the
pavements. and even entering the Dusi-
ness houses.
On Major Bottoms farm, Branch
lands" north OF this city, large ana
valuable barn was struck by lightning
and burned. with all its contents OF hay
and farm equipments. One horse was con-
sumed.
At about the same hour a tenement
house on Meadow Brook Farm, the pro-
perty OF r. b. Moran, was struck by
lightning, and two OF the occupants Killed
outright-Overseer Marshall's wife and
visitor named Nimrod GarrisOn-while
the others were severely shocked, two OF
them Marshall and his son-probably
fatally. The cabin took fire, but was ex-
tinguished. An hour or two later the
barn on this farm was fired by lightning
and entirely destroyed. Fortunately there
were no horses I'm the barn. Major Boil
toms property was insured, but not SO
Mr. Moran's.
The cattle on some farms were killed
in the field. The rivers are high, and
rising still. SO far as learned, little dam
age from washing has occurred.
