The monetary loss cannot now be estimated. All small streams in a wide territory lett | ! their banks and transportation in all i directions from this city was stopped. | After twenty-four hours of excessive- j j ly hot weather, the storm broke last | evening. In addition to an extraordi- | nary rainfall, the electrical features j were most spectacular. Within a short j time the water had washed away rail- j trooi-f. in manv nlaces and loos- ' | ivou tl Mvno **.* ^ x ened tons of earth, which came turn- j bling from surounding hills, choking j thoroughfares.

It is es! timafpri that, twenty persons met : death. ; Cherry Valley, Pennsylvania; six drowned.; Burget'tstown, Pa., one drowned. Avella, Pa., three drowned. Cannonsburg, Pa., three drowned. | During the night Pittsburg suburbs g suffered, cellars being flooded, street icars crippled and wire, service pros-! ! trated. In a number of Astern Penn-! ! sylvania towns citizens became panic- J stricken.

Both games had to be called off, and thousands of holiday i spectators were disappointed. A cloudburst devastated the valley in which Colliers, West Virginia, is sit- j uated. The entire valley was deluged houses swept from their foundations, j railroad tracks toni up for long! stretches and roads made impassable j by landslides. Colliers seemed to suf- j fer the brunt of 'the storm in West j Virginia. Debris floated down the j creek, piling high at Holliday's Cove, j and a score of houses were washed I away by the gorge. Most of the fatali ties at Colliers occurred when these i houses swept away. At many places j in that territory railroad tracks were*! so badly.crippled that it is not hoped j to resume operations for a week. j 1 If weak, you need Cardui, j|| j ij the woman's tonic.
