Visions of Noah and his ark came to many during the early hours of Mon day morning as they listened to a con tinued downpour of rain that had en- dured from soon after the coming of darkness Sunday evening, when a furi- ous thunderstorm swept up and produced ver!table deluge and a brilliant elec- trical display.
 The lighting happily proved to be moro spectacular than damaging, the great amount of water that came down doing such injury as was experienced. By II D. m. Main street was awash from curb to curb and an ordinarily adequate drainage system was unable to carry off the rush of water. which poured into side streets and cellars, seeking it's level. Under the Cottage street bridge the wa ter was between four and five feet in . depth at this hour. though an 1S-inch pipe and a 15-inch pipe ordinarily cares for all the water that comes down n storms.
 In the rear of the whitestone plant of the American Woolen company at Elm vile a washout at their ditch allowed water to flow into the mill the lower floor of which was covered with water and a deposit of dirt Monday morning. At Goodyear quantities of water made It's way into. the mill and into cellars Of buildings along the bank of the ouinebaug there, the river having filled and backed up to an extraordinarily high level for this period of the year.
 Roads through outlying sections oi Killingly were gullied in some places in the storm, but up to Monday noon il was not apparent that the towns high ways had in. any case been very serious ly damaged in the storm.
 A T-- Tr1e lightning. bu. no one was injured. The telephone service was somewhat crippled bv the storm and the trolley road people were faced Monday morning with th' job of clearing deposits of sand or gray ei from their tracks at many points or the local division.
 There was no break Monday in thu ranks of the strikers of the Aldricl Manufacturing company at Moosup, ant they continued to hold out as solidly al ever against returning to work IT. those who have labored to bring abou an adjustment of this serious industria difficulty this was a disappointment, bu t is realized in all quarters that it Ii for the strikers to say whether they vii return 10 work or not. The compan' has made it's position clear as to tn strikers desires. and the company EAAA4 EHAlaAAAs as uA4e-ANIAIA e1o tAAHs V the strikers.
 A mere handful of the 700 person who went out because of the strike ha returned to work.
 After the special pressure brought t bear on the strikers during the pas week to return to work failed to orin results Monday, the most optimistic c he observers of the strike were incline to the b=ss..--ss that 1t is now entering tn EieEs stage and that there is little like hhood of any immediate settlement.
 commendable feature of the strik rituation Is the peaceful and orderl manner in which the strikers have cor Eucted themselves since the first hou nf the wslkout. There has not been tn slightest disturbance and no one enter Ing Moosup without prior knowieog lhat a strike was on would ever realiz lt from anything there Is to be seen.
 The strikers in many cases have r Eervs funds accumulated during the pa lew years and are also receiving fiber; aid from mill centers In eastern Cor necticut. They will be able to hold oJ Tor many weeks .n a great many case without suffering any real privation.
 Some of the strikers have sought an found employment elsewhere and man others are looking for jobs to tide thei over the strike period.
