Despite Flood, Three Feet Deep,
Machinery Is Not Injured.

The Government Printing Office was
only slightly damaged by the storm yes
terday. A flood of water three feet deep
rushed through the lower front street
door, but the machinery and documents
escaped damage.
A man was run over by an unmanage-
able horse in front of the building. but
was not seriously injured, and went TO
his home without giving his name. One
of the big windows on the fifth floor was
blown free of its fastening and nearly fell
to the street.
A force of clerks pulled it back into
place, preventing probably serious results
to passers-by. Damage probably will
reach $500 Some of the women employees
became hysterical, but no one was in
