HEAVY STORM HITS
THIS CITY SUNDAY

Fairmont did not lack its week
ly semi-cloudburst yesterday, al
though the storm was a little later
getting around than the week be-
fore. A week ago yesterday the
deluge came about 3 o'clock, while
Yesterday the big event was not
until O'Clock, although there
was a preliminary display of
mild nature about an hour pre-
vious.
A combination of high. wind and
heavy rain caused considerable.
annoyance, but not great amount
of damage. few trees about
town one near the Normal and
another at Second street near
Fairmont avenue, were unrooted;
flowers beds were swept clean at
some places and the gardens OF,
several city farmers suffered from
the downpour but as a whole the
city Sc emed to have escaped much
damage despite the fury of the
elements.
Theresswas some trouble on the
high tension lines of the M. P
& r. Co., but outside Of a delay of
about fifteen minutes on the
schedule Of the Clarksburg Fair
mont interurban line there was no
inconvenience to passengers
A number of lines were knock
ed out in the telephone office.
Eight lines to Clarksburg were
put out of commission, four to
Wheeling, two to Pittsburgh one
to Parkersburg and nine between
Grafton and Clarksburg. About
seventy five lines in this city were
put out of order. It was said at
the local office of the c. & P.
today that all the damage would
be repaired by tomorrow
City Commissioner w. E. Arm
ct said today that there was no
particular dann,ge wrought by the
storm yesterday. The usual num-
Der Of storm sewers got clogged
up. as is always the case after h
terrific rain such as yesterday.
Many Of the lower streets were
filled with debris today, but a
large force of workmen will have
the mud and trash cleared off by
night.
