cf damage along the line OF the Della
ware railroad on the New Castle cut
OF, the near embankment has been
partially washed away. The double
track work on the railroad in the lower
part Of the State suffered serious in
jury by the washing away Of embank-

The Little Christiana promptly re-

living right near Lewisvile lost a

Newark HIIiI, Stopped

The streets of the town of Newark.
especially in the lower sections, ran
two feet deep in water. and the thor
are full of gullies. In East
Newark there was a small flood. The
Nonantum Paper Mills had to shut
down because of the water flooding the
engine rooms, putting out the fires un-
der the boilers.

combat the flames They called into
assistance neighbors who, after forming
a bucket brigade. fought the fire and
with the assistance of the heavy down
pour of rain at the time, prevented the
building from destruction The bolt
passed uncomfOrtably close to members
Of the McGargle family, who were in
the house at the time.
Deluge IN Delaware City
In Delaware City the storm was es-
'pecially severe, the town being COM
pletely submerged.
Shortly after o'clock the storm,
which had been gathering the greater
part of the afternoon, burst forth with
fury, and not since the oldest inhabi-
tant can remember. has there been
such a heavy downpour of rain.
Thunder and lightning characterized
the beginning of the fan. Then the
gloomy, black clouds appeared to
lower and the storm began in earnest.
The rain appeared to fall in sheets,
and soon streets were knee deep in
watre. 1t was almost as dark as night,
land citizens illuminated their houses
TO dispel the gloom.
In the lower section of the town the
water began to rise rapidly, and sew
eral citizens were forced to retreat to
Isecond-story rooms, the ground floors
being submerged. Still the heavy
downfall continued, and alarm became
general as it was feared that the town
would be washed away.
BY o'clock the streets were swollen
streams filled with logs, portions of
fences destroyed by the wind, and in
fact all manner of wreckage. The canal
showed signs Of overflowing its banks,
and citizens living near became badly
frightened
Shortly after o'clock, however, the
storm began 10 abate, and by 10 o'clock
but a sight rain was falling.
That considerable daage was done
is evident, though the extent cannot be
estimated. Small bridges were wash
ed away. Gripping traffic. washouts
occurred along the canal
and trolley traffic on the wilmington
and New Castle Electric Railway Com
ipany was tied up for awhile.
The washout occurred on the marsh
midway between New Castle and Della
ware City, and passengers are to-day
being transferred. For some time the
tracks across the marsh were COM
pletely submerged, rendering traffic
hazardous.
In the sections roundabout Talley-
Vile and HOckcssin. trees were up
rooted by the strong wind, and many
bridges washed away.
In Sussex county not a drop of rain
fell until o'clock this morning, when
there was a slight shower.
Severe Around Newark
A terrific rainstOrm swept over New
ark and vicinity yesterday afternoon,
Tasting about three hours, and was
almost as destructive as a cloudburst.
Little Elk river. Little Christiana and
White Clay creeks became raging and
destructive torrents in a little time
mo lives were lost. but many farmers
lost live stock. and growing crops were
damaged. It is impossible to estimate
the damage done as yet, as full reports
have not been received, as the tele-
lphone and telegraph service has been
impaired, and some OF the lower sec
ltons have not been heard from. More
water fell in three hours than ever ha.
: fallen in such a short tie in that To-
cality.

depth.
Much Damage Around Cooch's
Small bridges around Coochs we're
swept from their abutments and carried
down the stream. valuable farmlands
were inundated, and growing crops
were destroyed. The land has been
impoverished by having its rich soil
washed away.
Railroad Travel Stopped
Travel on the Newark and Pomeroy
railroad has been stopped because of
the any serious washouts. and train
loads of cinders are being hurried
along the line to fiA the big cavities.
McLaughlin's millpond broke its banks
and the pond is empty. The water
rushing out, did great damage to prop

Lightning Fired a House

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a

off, set fire to the house, damaging
it, to the extent Of several hundred
dollars.

it'said Alta, unconsoled, as Miss Card
disappeared.
Mona Caird was a girl OF many re-
sources. Beautiful after vivid Orien.
tai fashion, with a glorious colcr in her
cheeks, and flashing teeth, she had been
since childhood charmer of men; one
of those rare beings who possess unboun
ded fascination and have the masculine
world at their feet.
Cleve Turner and she had known
one another only few mon tbs. He was
handsome, we'll bred, popular with the
women. man after her own fancy. She
attracted him as she did all men, as
much by the force of her magnetic per-
sonality as the great charm of her Won
drous beauty.
He was not even aware that Mona
Caird was acquainted with pretty little
Alta Lee, let alone that they were the
dearest of friends.
Mona thought fast. u must get that
letter. Hal Hurst is the most jealous
man in creation, and Alta really cares
for him. She is ust the sort of little
woman who would break her heart if
she lost him. He must never know
that she could possibly be guilty Of
such desperate filtration. Of course
it was all before she met him, but men
are jealous of a womsn's past
She went home and wrote note to
Cleye Turner. Will you dine with me
this evening?
He WAS surprised, since Miss Caird
had always been chary with her favors
aud had rather held him off instead Of
seeking his presence. Of course he &C.
cepted. The Caird 8 was good place
to dine. They lived in solid, substan-
tial, cid fashioned house, aud had we'll
trained servants.
Mona met him in the drawing room.
She wore a wonderful frock of amber
velvet. He had never before seen her
look so we'll. There were pearls at her
throat and in the coils of her dusky
hair.
