A solidly advancing wall Of rain

By descending sheets of water that

burst was an exceedingly heavy
rain while it lasted, but after Is min
utes it began to tighten and the big
drops changed to- smaller ones and
after fine drizzle for a few minutes,
1t stopped altogether and the sun came
out while later. Then. early in the
1880 o'clock there was a lively shower.
An hour later the stars were out. and
they stayed out all night, although a
heavy fog came in this morning.
Rumbles of thunder of Lebanon and
Franklin way about 4.30 o'clock told
Norwich weather gazers that a storm
was brewing. Then little later for
m1dable- looking black clouds began to
sweep down from that direction and
those who saw them took heed But
the storm came suddenly and many
were the Automobiles and pedestrians
caught out in 1t. Amy port was shelter
and the Main street stores were well
filled with people on their way to
catch cars to get home.
Franklin square was quickly covered
with a sheet Of water, for the catch
basins couldn't begin to get away with
the flood. There was a small river
running down Broadway around the
Wauregan house corner into the
square and others coming down Cliff
and Main and Bath streets. The wa
ter overlooked the gutter and came
UP over the sidewalk in front the
car station and it did the same at the
Thayer building, that cellar getting
an oTerabundant supply of water. The
water ran down in Rose alley and
nearly inundated the Ward saloon.
Horses came along up to their fetlocks
in the flood and automobiles cast
fine spray as they ploughed through.
When the water finally eooed away
the. square was covered with nne
stones, gravel and debris.
catchbasins Unequal to Flood.
The effect of the rushing water was
worst on the hills. The catchbasins
were far from equal to taking care OF
the rainfall, and in consequence IT tore
along over sidewalks ana into base
merlts and made trouble generally. Al
191 West Main street it filled the gut
ter, poured over the sidewalk and then
descended into the kitchen of Mrs.
Michael Reardon, in the Daniel ONeii
house. She returned to get supper
from a neighbours and found four OF

was left with several inches OF thick
