SUBSIDENCE OF FLOOD
WATER HAS VANISHED FROM THE
STREETS OF CLEvEL LAND.

of Its Terrible Ho voc.

great sea of muddy water the citizens of

few short hours ago were beautiful homes

building has been abandoned, and the di-
lapidated buildings will be hauled away

knocked to pieces The ruth inside the
houses is probably heavier than in any
other part of the district that was flooded.

of plastering falling from the walls tell
the story. The damage in E.eering street
