RUIN IN CLEVELAND.
Cloudburst Causes Flood in the
Ohio City.
The Damage to Property Estimated
at 81 OOO,OOO-No Lives Lost, But
Many Narrowly Escape
Death

Cleveland, O., Sept. 2. - With the |
breaking of dawn Sunday morning
the citizens of Cleveland awoke to
devastation and destruction caused
by raging food. While the entire
city was more or less affected, the
great volume of raging water vented
it's anger over miles of the eastern
portion of the city and caused an
amount of damage aPproximated at
$1,0oo,0o0. The appalling overflow was
caused by terrific rain that COM
menced to fall shortly after two
o'clock, turned into at:perfect cloud
burst between the hours of three
and five, and: then: continued with
great force until nearly ten o'clock.
The storm, according to the weather
officials, was the heaviest that ever
swept over Cleveland since the estab-
ishment of the government bureau
in this city over 4o4years ago.
No Loss of Life.
That no lives were lost is nothing
short of a miracle, as the stories of
thrilling escapes from the water on
several of the principal resident
streets of the city, are told. The
surging waters spread over an area in
the east end nearly eight miles long
and 1% miles wide. This extended
from Woodland Hills avenue to East
! Cleveland and back to East Madison
avenue. Great volumes of water
poured over from Doan and Giddings
brooks down Quincy street, swamped
Vienna street, rushed over Cedar ave-
nue., back over on East Prospect
street, rushed like mill race down
Lincoln avenue to Euclid avenue, and
then on to Glen Park place, where
houses were undermined as though
built of straw, and almost incredible
damage done to streets and property.
Cemetery Invaded.
Shortly before noon the torrent sue
ceeded in undermining score of
graves in the St. Joseph cemetery, at
the corner of East Madison and Wood
land, and the bodies were seen being
tossed about in the waters. Fully a
dozen of the corpses were washed into
cutters and had not been recovered at a
late hour.
Damage to Parks and BoAlevards.
The great flood boiled over the banks
of Doan brook all along the boulevard
and caused damage that it will take
months to repair. Great jagged holes
are torn in the beautiful driveway, and
the look of ruin stretches in every d.
rection. Gordon and Wade parks, on
the East side, and Brookside park, on
the South side, where the water also
did great damage as it leaped over the
banks of Big creek, are damaged to an
amount figured at 100000. Through
Chenille the overflow was terribly de-
structive. Many houses are swamped,
culverts torn out and several streets
turned into seething quagmires. The
loss in the village is also estimated at
100000.
Street Railways Suffer.
The street railways will suffer an
immense loss, extending in varying de-
grees over every portion of the city.
The Big Consolidated will have to re-
build their tracks over differenttparts
of the inundated East end district, and
the loss is placed at $4,000.

Robert NJ. Graves, who owns an ex-

down elm trees and permitting the cat

seemed to take to the new diet readily.
and for over month he supported so
head of cattle on the leaves and
branches of the elm. There is a great
deal in being able to appreciate your
resources.

Occasional dispatches announcing
the capture Ola "moonshine" still in

hcer do not make much impression, but
the war which the governments wagS-
ing against illicit distilling is really
quite a costly one. During the past ten
years nine internal revenue officers
have been killed and 20 other persons
wounded in the performance OF. this
duty. During the same period 1867
stills were seized and 6,557 persons
were arrested. Tits dangerous, but at
the same time fascinating service,
