be successfully worked out It would, OF
course, be a bad thing for the coal-carry-

great for consumers. The big manufac-

have switches of the wireless coal tele-

The evening and night of Monday,
Aug. 10, 1901, viii long be remembered
as a season of calamity by the people
Of this town and vicinity. At the
hours of ,, :. : and P. NJ the rain
came down in torrents, accompanied by
strong wind. lightning and the heaviest
thunder Of the summer. The dreadful
ness of night did not begin to be realiz-
ed until its murky blackness settled
over the town, and the fact that there
was no electric lights, and the street
cars stood helpless ON the tracks showed
that the creek was again over its banks,
had flooded out the electric light plant
and Of course was doing untold damage
in the lower portions of town.
The wind at o'clock tore many avn
ings along Main ST. to shreds. On n.
Main ST the storm had had
severity OF a cloud-burst. The new
sewer through Henry Troutman's prop
erty was not sufficient to carry of the
deluge of water and Main St. was two
feet deep from Pearl to Clay. Every
cellar was filed and, in some instances,
the first floors, thus running costly car
pets.
Jacob Schwille suddenly became the
biggest money maker in town by haul
ing homeward bound men through the
food at 10 cents each.
Along the creek people soon found
they would have to desert their houses
and the water rame up so suddenly that
in some cases they had to escape by
boat. On Western Ave. on the Island
old Pappy Armstrong and -- Morri-
son with their families were rescued
with much difficulty.
The waters rose higher than in any
other food in the history Of Butler.

not been learned.

the Centre Ave bridge was washed
away during the night
