And Didn't Stop to Merely
Rain Around New York.
One of Fiercest Storms for Years.
Damage Will Be Heavy.
Storm Extended Into New jersey
Loss Also Great.

New York, June 29.-New York and
vicinity as well as this part of the
country was flooded, today by down.
pour of rain, during which, in the
course of a few hours. about half as
much water fell as in the prolonged
period of wet weather. this month. The
storm was accompanied by thunder
and lightning, and several conspicu-
Gus spots were struck by bolts. Streets
in various sections of Greater New
York were inundated and it is expected
the damage by water will be very
great.
The food was most serious along the
shore front on South and West streets
in the borough Of Manhattan and in the
Williamsburg section of Brooklyn,
where much damage was done by
foods IL years ago. For a good por-
tion of the day there, the water in
some of the streets was four and five
feet deep, and many families were held
prisoners in their homes. A novel sight
was that Of children going to school in
row boats.
Lightning struck Tammany hall and
the Bank of the Metropolis in Union
square, tearing a large hole in the roof
of the latter building and causing q
panic among the inmates of the various
offices. In the Williamsburg section of
| Brooklyn street car traffic was imped-
ed for a time and at Wallast about
Harrison avenue the water was five
| feet deep.
The bursting of a sewer under the
tracks of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad, at Webster and
Park avenues in the borough of the
| Bronx, caused n blockade Of all south
| bound trains there for nearly half an
| hour.
The tracks in some places were COW
cred with six feet of water and the
|cement ballast was slightly damaged.
Washouts on the Long Island Railroad
has seriously interfered with traffic.
In Jersey City the rain washed away
pavements, flooded cellars, clogged
sewers, and flooded streets. In New
ark several streets east of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad became impossible. At
feet deep.
Fifteen feet of a sewer which Is be-
ing constructed at Ninth avenue and
CID street in Brooklyn, suddenly caved
in and filled with mud and water
There were about 20 men at work in the
excavation, but all managed to escape
except Peter Sears, who it is supposed
was caught in the flood and washed
away in the sewer.

shall flee away"
AS she retired to the house the visi-
tors sang two hymns of Mrs. Eddy's

the window of her study and waved her
handkerchief in farewell.

MAYOR BELLS POSITION.

Mayor Bell, in his interview in the
Graphic Friday. virtually takes posi-
the three-mill road tax on the streets
the in the way of permanent improve
ment.
His language may be construed
to mean that he is in favor of
it if the money is not all
put on one street, which he
says would be "class legislation He
certainly can not mean that he is op-
posed to expending the three-mill tax
for permanent improvements because
all the streets can not be improved.
Yet he says .'the process will be too
slow for anything like an equitable
distribution to be made of the funds
among the people generally" Does
the mayor mean that he would have
the city do nothing because it cant
improve many streets at once? 1t
would seem so from some of the Ian
guage he uses but he commends the
the good roads movement, but
closes his commendation With the
"phropecy that, through the persis-
tent and intelligent presentation to
the public by the press of facts in
favor Of good roads, this great reform,
which is being carried on throughout
the length and breadth of the country,
will find it's way through the gates Of
this state and finally eliminate in
bringing about for Pine Bluff the most
perfect system of good streets to be
found anywhere" yet the mayor takes
the high ground. that so long as we
are governed by the present legal
restrictions against the raising OF
revenue, neither Arkansas, nor Arkan-
sas cities, can ever go to the front on
the question OF public Improvements.
Putting the two assertions of the may
or together, the Graphic is unable to
see how the great reform which is
being carried on throughout the
length and breadth OF the country
will ever find its way through the
gates OF this state and finally culmin-
ate in bringing about for Pine Bluff
the most perfect system OF good
streets to be found anywhere" for the
mayor says it can never come "as
tong as We are governed by the pres
ent legal restrictions against the rails
ing Of revenues" Would Mayor Bell
have Pine Bluff to wait till the state
constitution is amended so that the
"restrictions against raising rev
enues" may be removed? Such a con
clusion may be easily drawn from his
interview If that is his position thclre
is opposed to any attempt at perman-
ent street Improvement before an

INSANITY IN PENSION BUREAU.

INSANITY IN PENSION BUREAU.
The death of George II Gorham a
veteran clerk in the pension office.
who recently was sent to the govern
ment asylum for the insane in Wash
ington is the cause of great deal OF
talk Some clerks employed in the
department are becoming scared over
what they characterize as an epidemic
of insanity in the bureau.
They say that no less than four
cases of insanity have developed
among their fellow employees during
the last three years and three of these
occurred in the last six months. All
these cases occurred in the examining
division of the pension bureau, where
500 clerks are employed at correcting
and adjusting all applications for pen
sions The work is extremely exact
ing and particular and requires con
stant attention, entailing nervous
strain which is said to be detrimental
to the clerk employed.
