FRIDAYS STORM

This community has seldom
been visited by such downpour
of rain as that of last FRIDAY after
noon.
Residents at Nonantum state
that not since 1901 has White Clay
been so high at that point. The
mills were obliged to close for the
afternoon.
The dam lately completed at
Roseville burst, making the pres
ent state of affairs worse than the
wreck occasioned by the first food.
The macadam road near White
Clay is badly washed. while IA
stretch near st. James Church.
near Stanton has broken through
to quicksand.
The Newark and Pomeroy rail
road, lying along White Clay. was
in several places under water, and
the afternoon train was unable tc
reach the Newark terminus until
about 7.30 Saturday morning.
