HEAVY FLOOD DAMAGE,
Cleveland, Ohio, is Visited by Disas.
trous Overflow.

| Cleveland, O.-With the breaking o.
dawn Sunday morning the citizens o.
cleveland awoke to look upon scene
OF unparalleled devastation and de.
struotion caused by a raging food.
While the entire city was more OF
less affected, the great volume OF
raging water vented its anger over
miles of the eastern portion of the
city and caused an amount of damage
Appropriated at 81, 900, 900.
The appalling overflow was caused
by a terrific rain that commenced to
fall shortly after Q O'Clock, turned
into perfect oloudburst between ths
hours of 8 and 5, and then continued
with great force until nearly 10
O'Clock. The storm, according to the
Wather officials, was the heaviest that
ever swept over Cleveland since the
establishment of the government bu-
reau in this city over forty years ago.
That no lives were lost is nothing
short of 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 mile and a half
wide, extending from Woodland Hills
avenue to East Cleveland and back to |
East Madison avenue.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Doan and Gidings brooks down
quincy street, swampsd Vienna
street, rushed over Cedar, back over
on East Prospect street, ran like
mill race down Lincoln avenue TO
Euclid avenue, and then on the Glen
Park Place, where honses were under
mined as though built Of straw, and
almost incredible damage done to
treets and property.
