Philadelphia. Dec 22.-Twenty-four
hours OF almost constant rainfall con-
verted the usually sluggish schuylkIlI
into a raging torrent this morning.
Swelled by more than two inches OF
rain the river rose with startling ra-
pidity during the night. and at day
break was over its banks in several
places. Manayunk, as usual. suffered
most, and the long row Of mills along
the canal bank from Flat Rock to the
Falls Of the Schuylkll were tempo
rarily put out OF business by the torrent
that poured through doors and win
dows, flooding boiler rooms and ma
chinery With the water came a dirty
black slime that damaged the engines
and apparatus almost as much as the
water itself. Several OF these estab-
liehments were forced to shut down by
the overlooking river only a week al5o
and had just resumed running order
again when they were again inundated.
The total damage in the Manayunk
district is estimated at $780, 600. This
does not include the loss Of wages to
the mill workers. about 5000 of whom
will be thrown out of work until the
