sented scenes of devastation today
with gaping holes in some of the main
thoroughfares as result OF yester-
days terrific storm. The entire city
was deprived OF water, gas and cleo
trtcity, cut off as precaution against
floods. explosions and fires. Several
lives are known to have been lost
through vehicles falling into the street
cavities. The exact number is un-
known because some bodies are be-
lieved to have disappeared into the
sewers. Heavy rains today added to
the difficulties Of the search Several
buildings collapsed today: injuring a
number of persons. To date the off,
cial death list is placed at eight
A thunderstorm of phenomenal vio-
lence ragged over Paris for three hours
last night. The rain flooded the
streets and caused the bursting of sew
ers. In the central fashionable quarter
of the city, street caved in, engulfing
several pedestrians. The number of
victims is not known, owing to the
danger of approaching the immense
pits resulted from the collapse of side
walks and roadways.
fhSSh WI 'Neo SaNc-tffs
The most serious cave-in occurred at
the junction of the Rue la Boetie and
the Faubourg Saint Honore. When the
storm was at its height, 500 square feet
of the roadway heaved up and sank,
carrying with 1t a number of persons
who had taken shelter under the avn
ing of cafe. Water spurted from the
broken mains and, added to the tor
rents from the Skies converted the dis
trict into Veritable river. Gas mains,
telephone and the electrical supply
were broken off
The quarter was Immediately iso-
lated and detchments OF police were
summoned, but for a time nothing
could be done owing to the darkness.
Firemen with powerful gas lamps and
gangs of laberers began exploring the

of bodies could be found. The engi-

they may have been carried away by
the great rush of water which caused
the disaster.
A second section of the roadway at
this point collapsed, leaving a hole 1870
feet long. Several persons reported
relatives missing.
