Commencing last night with
gentle rain about In o'clock ;
gradually t'.rowimr in intensity mil
between .'5 and ." o'clock this mi
intr when t ue e!.mients broke with alii
th.eir fury on the city. Fbittsniout Ii
was visited with oto- of the heaviest
downpours of recent years, three am
one-half inches of rain failing.
For a short time it seemed certain
that the business houses ahum Main
street must certainly suffer vcr
heavily as the water poured down
the street and on Sixth street was
over the curbing on the east side of
the street.
The climax of the high water oc
curred about ":". when North Silh
and Main streets were transform
into rivers of angry water, which in
the center were almost waist deep,
and the markers used at the inter
sections for the guidance of driver
of oars were just barely vi-ihV in
the swirl of the flood w h tors.
Most of the business men w t re
aroused by the storm and hastened
down to the outskirts of the high
water, but to cross the streets wa
out of the uuestion until nearly .
o'clock, when the water commenced
to recede.
The only section to tutfer much
damage was the block between Fifth
and Sixth, street on the south side, a:

high water caused the washin
of the vioiind underneath the dyke
and permitted the flood v.a!t- i

damage. A l.irg amount of mu
was deposited in the blacksmith sin
and the !ra--s foundry lis well a

participation of the entire w
force ;i t the shops f(r the urea "r part
of the day in cleaning up. Air. Haird
superintendent of the shops, was con
vinced this morning that by night
fa'l if would he possible to have
things hark in normal condition.
The dykes that were undermined b
the flood will be lowered ami made
extra strong against a reoccura nee
of such hih water in the future.
From all over Ihe city come re
ports of erflowed cellars caused by i
the heavy rain ami overflowing cis
terns and finite a good ib-al of dam
age is estimated to have been caused
in this way.
The co'ohle stone pavement on
.Main street suffered more or less
from the lush water and one place
in front of the William Schmidtmann
harness shop sank several feet, hav
ing recently boon taken up by the
water company to make some re
pairs and the softened condition of
the base made it an easy matter for
the water to undermine it.
The r-ld"r residents of the city
were recalling the fact today, tha'. ii
was just thirteen years ago ..-ter
day July 1. !07. when the shops and
the whole business district of ! 'i :-:t
