RAINFALL LAST NIGHT.
Heavy Downpours at the Close of
Yesterday Fa.Owed by Others at
r;,n,.s n',trtumh.IIt Niglt.

The warm Weather of yesterday
was followed towards the close of
the day by the formation of heavy
black clouds in the western and
northern heavens, and rain soon be-
gan to fall upon the parhed
earth. 1ncessant lightning and
thunder accompanied the downpours,
and after dark and until about mid
night the heavens were kept aglow
by the celestial batteries. One very
brilliant flash of lightning was fol-
lowed by heavy crash of thun-
der, and it was thought that the
bolt had struck somewhere in the
city. So far as known, however,
no damage resulted. Rain has fallen
at times today, but the showers have
been light.
1t is said that the storm in the
west and southwest of Alexandria
was severe. People who arrived on
Washington and Old Dominion trains
say it was especially fierce in parts
of Loudoun and Fairfax counties.
People residing in the vicinity OF
Accotink who visited the city this
morning reported that the run was
about mile wide. The water in
the Potomac river was at abnor-
NAL stage also.
The rainstorm was welcome vlsi-
tor to farmers and it spread over a
wide area.
Many places in Maryland were
suffering from the long dry spell.
The land was dry and hard, and the
crops were making little, if any,
progress. The drought was becom-
ing serious question. All this
anxiety was relieved by the storm
of last night.

RACE r II RIOT IN ILLINOIS.
Two Hundred and Fifty Negroes Be-
lieved to Have Been Killed by In.
fnriated Mobs.

East st. Louis, July 3.-The riot
ing has spread to Venice, in Madison
County, ILL.,, where the negroes are
mobilizing to come to the aid OF
those in East St. Louis. Venice is
about fifteen miles from East ST
Louis.
In a city lighted by incendiary fires
the police and National Guard of H.
linois were endeavoring at midnight
last night to count the dead in to-
days race riots.
No estimate of the -;umber of
negroes slain, official or otherwise,
runs lower than 100, the police
claiming that the dead will number
$50.
Numerous outright lynchings took
place last night. One victim was
hanged to a telegraph pole near the
city hall. A large percentage of the
fatalities occurred in the business
district of the city.
The torch was freely used in the
efforts to exterminate the black popu-
lation. Fire apparatus was sent
from St. Louis, but from six to eight
city blocks were laid in ruins.
The .'black valley" the negro
segregated district, is a mass of en-
bers beneath which, lie the bodies OF
many dead. Flames which swept a
block of negro dwellings in Fifth
street spread to white residences
and stores on Broadway and des-
troyed more property than the mob
intended to ruin.
Telephone and electric light wires
were cut soon after the wild nights
work began and the city was left IN
darkness except in the dozen spots
where the fires ragged. The authorl-
ties were handicapped in handling
the soldiers and police, because COM
munication with the city hall was
cut of.
The shooting was not all on the
side Of the whites, ,Whersyer a white white
man appeared a:one he was fred
upon, usually from ambus h. Thomas
Moore of Granite City was shot down
at Ninth street and Broadway. His
head was blown off with a charge
Of buckshot.
Hundreds of arrests have been
made but the police do not pretend
that ttey have any of the ring lead
,e.S
One difficulty in estimating the
dead is due to the fact that many
blacks were shot and their bodies
1bro,yn into the creeks and tn., Mis'
sissippi. Many wore drowned by be-
'ng driven into the water. Scores OF
cbarred bodies are in the ruins OF
re hu.ned homes.
Other bodies are being continually
discovered in alleys and back streets.
Ry $3.50 o'clock it appeared that
the entire negro settlement in the
Black Valley covering about two
square miles was, doomed by flames.
Four white men were killed by negro
snipers at Ninth street and Missouri!
avenue about o'clock. Their names
were not learned. Fire is now at!
tacking the international Harvester
Company and other valuable prop
.erty.
All afternoon crowds of whites de-
fled the soldiers patrolling the streets
Negroes were dragged from street
cars and interurbans and beaten. One
negro was kicked into helplessness
in the street near National Guards
men who were powerless to protect
him. A man rushed up and fired six
shots at the fallen negro. Two struck
him and he died.

LYNCHlNGS SHOW DECREASE.
Seven Less in Last Six Months
Than Year Ago.

Tuskegee, Ala, July @.-There
were eleven less lynchings during the
six months NEEDED June 80 than dur
ing that period of last year, ac-
cording to records compiled at
Tuskgee Institute.
They numbered ii as against %
for the same period last year. Thir-
teen were negroes and one white
man.
Robert Morton, principal of Tus-
kegee, attributed much OF the negro
migration north to the fear of lynch
ings.
