Taken to Insane Asylum.

Mrs. Helen Dwyer. of the Fourth
district, was taken to the Spring
Grove Asylum by Deputy Sheriff
Nicholas w. Bryan on the early train
this morning. Mrs. Dwyer has been
declared insane by DR.. Cronmiller and
Dr. Byerley, of the Fourth district.
This is the second time the patient
has been committed to an institution
for the insane. Some years ago, while
Mrs. Dwyer was resident of East
port, she was declared insane and was
committed to Spring Grove, where she
remained about two years. At the in
stitution she was thought to be so
much improved that she was permit
ted to return to her home. Her hus-
band had removed TO the Fourth dis
trict and she went to live with him
again.

a fit of mental alteration Mrs. Dwyer

band with a carving knife. The county
physicians declared her insane and
she was committed to Spring Grove
Asylum, where she was taken today by
Deputy Sheriff Bryan.

light showers began 20 fall, but about
midnight the rain poured in torrents
unil there was almost deluge. The
streets were several inches deep in
water from curb to curb. Many OF
the sewers were damned and over
flowed. Garbage boxes and cans were
carried down grade for blocks and
lumber for new buildings was carried
along the streets like floating rafters.
Sand for plaster work ON Church
street was washed away and piled mp
high near the city dock. Early this
morning City Commissioner Vansant
had his street force at work clearing
away the debris.
The rafters aud charred wood from
Kashner's lunch room, which was
burned last Saturday, were carried by
the flood of water down Church street
TO Rehn's corner. In the county the
melons were washed out of the ground
and many washed away. The roads
were badly washed in some places and
there is heavy washout near Beaver
Dam Hill. No such torrents of rain
have visited this section in years. But
few houses can be found this morning
without leak somewhere. The hu-
midity today was almost at the point
of saturation and very oppressive.
Cooler weather is promised tomorrow.
