Thb Terrific Raih-storm op Ybrterdat.
Matiayunfcwaa not exempt from the violent
rain-Bioim that came down In such a terrific
manner yesterday. Surrounded by hills, and
i fi, .,oentre of valleTs. It, was made, reservoir
i in e, tne receptacle fur the water whioh came
ro ling down from the high land above. Not'a
cellar In the village but was speedily filled, and
ine water surged into the rooms of the houses,
arm. gout their Inhabitants and delunlng all
things. So strong was the resistless flow of the
torrent that suddenly came npon the village,
that It carried with and lodged as sediment
xrom the hills over one hundred cart-loada of
dirt in Green lane, near Eleventh-and Mechanic
BtreetB. The Heading Hallroad was damaged
extensively; the embankment being under
mined, came down with a slide in mauy places,
leaving the skeleton work of rails and ties
hanging In the air. A brick building, located
near the foot of a hill, owned by Mr. McDonnell,
Was almost entirely demolished by the water,
Which rushed down the hill with invincible
power, destroying the foundation walls and top
pling over the structure. Other buildings were
more or ltssdamgel. either by cerlaln portions
of them being entirely destroyed, or by being
BO weakened that they are unsafe.
The culvert which nnsses under the canal was
Bo small that the water congregates near it a
rierleot miniature lake. Another culvert pans
ng nnder the Norrlstown Railroad burst by
the pressure of the water, which surging back,
tilled the establishment owned by James Cole.
Another railroad culvert burst, and the water
ran through Maxon's woollen mill, near Sheers
lane, damaging it to the amount of J3000. Part
of the bridge over the "Green Tree" run was
swept away, and the trains now are run over
on but one track.
The flood coming down on the Montgomery
SU'e of the Bobuylklll, carried huge piles of
ashes from Benoold's Iron Mills into the copper
dam of the Bobuylklll Navigation Company,
filling it entirely up. Near Manay unk, in Quite
a large gully, there stood three dwelling-houses.
The inhabitants thinking that, from the ca
pricious weather of the past few days, the sud
den acqueous onset would be of short duration,
made no preparation for any flood. But soon
With a rush the water filled the valley, and It
was with difficulty that they escaped to the
upper stories or their houses.
During the pelting rain yesterday afternoon
the peoplewere out bare footed and bare headed,
working to save their property. Men, women,
and children, soaked completely, labored hard
to protect their homes. With the water wash
lng down the hills came domestlo stook of the
small kind grunting pigs, bleating goats, etc,
while In many instances cattle stood in their
stalls half deep In water. With all things
taken Into consideration, this deluge has had
no similar precedent in past years about Maua
yunk, and the loss will root up easily $25,000.
The Park was never so flooded before;
while the trees bowed low before the tremen
dous storm, happily no serious damage was
done. Bo sudden was the rain and so great Us
power that soon whole streets appeared as tur
bulent streams. The culverts were damaged
freatly. The following gave way: One at
'orty-flrst and Market.one at Forty-second and
Chesnut, three on Oermantown road, two on
OMrard avenue.
Bancroft's shoe store, at Thirty-sixth and
Market streets, was flooded to the depth of
three feet on the first floor, and $300 worth of
Bhoes destroyed.
A locality known as "Beggar's Glory," In
Maylandville Park, was visited and well satu
rated. A large brick house was nearly demo
lished, and is left. In a shaky condition by
having Its foundation undermined.
The heavy planking on the Darby and West
Cluster roads, although spiked down tightly,
was torn up by the rushing water and carried
away.
Thirty-sixth street was Inundated, no Inlets
were sten, and their presence only known by
the roaring of the water as it rushed in. Down
this street floated parts ot fences, tubs, boxes,
and all manner of wooden articles, making a
good picture of a second deluge. Harrup's silk
mill, on Mill creek, near Forty-third and Ches
nut streets, was greatly damaged, especially in
stock. At Maylandville Park bridges were
swept away and fences demolished. Blundeu's
factory, on the Uaverford road, was partially
Inundated, work stopped, and great damage
done.
Filler's rope-walk, on Seventh street, above
Berks, was completely turned around by the
flood.
At Oermantown the water was as rampant as
at elsewhere. From the Town Hall to the depot
on the Oermantown road was one complete
river of water.
The large cellar under Bruner's tavern was
Completely filled and overflowing.
Mrs. Harkness' bakery wasalmost inundated,
two feet of water being upon the first floor.
On all the vacant lots large pools of water
collected. At Brides burg the banks were over
flowed, and In some places the force of the
WHier was so great that the banks were broken.
The truck of the Second and Third Streets Pas
senger Bailroad leading to Frankford is over
flowed In many places, but the depth of the
water is - not sufficient to Impede
travel. About one hundred yards
west of the Columbia Bridge there is a deep
, hollow about three hundred yards In length.
This was filled with water, and the trains upon
the Reading Railroad were prevented from
running from four o'clock yesterday afternoon
until this morning. One hundred and ten feet
rt the traok was torn no. Workmen were en-
?aged all night In repairing the damage, and
his in or n In the trains are running as usual.
The mtadows in the northeastern portion of
tne city are overflowed, but not much damage
has been done. Several houses were struck by
litrhtninff.
Along the Schuylkill a number of trees were
torn up by tne roots, ana noaieu aown stream.
A lame number of boards, planks, etc.. evi
dently from some board-yard, were observable
' at dlaerent points. The water at the dam is
c very deep, and Is two or three feet above the
nitualmark.
In Uie Delaware and scnuyimn tne water is
nnusiallv high for the state of the tide, and a
rt. ll nf Inns mafr vt. be unstained. The
nreeki In the countrv were verv hltrli. and in
Borne places the banks were overflowed aud
tim br carried off bv the aaeous element,
We have beard of no material damage being
doneit any specific point in the city or suburbs,
buOhe slight damages sustained at different
pointo will amount to considerable.

to btld an Inquest upon the body of a boy who

THE DAILY EVENING TEIGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,
Fibes. About twenty minrwteg of 10 o'clock!
this morning, a Are broke out in the picker
room of the establishment of Messrs. Wood A
Hlhl, manufacturers of cotton yarns, situated
at Carroll and Huntington streets. About $800
loss was sustained, principally on the slock,
which was insured in New York and Liverp6ol
companies. The machinery was fully covered
by insurance in the tiueen, of Liverpool. The
fire undoubtedly originated from matches being,
concealed in a bale of cotton, as several were
picked out of it. While the Falrmount Engine
Company's steamer was proceeding to the lire,
as the driver was turning out to avoid a car, at
the corner of Oxford and Howard streets, the
left front wheel gave way, throwing the driver,
Jacob Zell, about twenty foet, injuring him
about the face and legs.
A slight fire occurred this morning in Charles
White's blacksmith shop, in Ninth streot,
above Master.
An Klectbio Prank. Yesterday afternoon,
during the terriflo rain storm, a bolt of light
ning passed down the rod of a large double
house in Highland avenue, occupied by Mr.
Prater and Alderman Hex. No damage was
done to the structure, but in a corner of a room,
Inclose proximity to the rod, and only sepa
rated by the wall, was an old musket, the stook
of which was shattered to splinters by the elec
tric current.
Mnsio on tiib Schuylkill. The Schuylkill
River Steamboat Company have made arrange
ments to have muslo on the steamers leaving
Falrmount every fifteen minutes, by the Boston
Brass Band. This will be quite a popnlar addi
tion to the attractions of a ''delightful romantlo
excursion" on the Schuylkill. The first floating
fugues will be given to-morrow afternoon.
Marvellous I That while the citizens of
Philadelphia and suburbs were being Inundated
with an aqueous torrent that poured down in
tensely.the visitors at Atlanticfcity were enjoy
ing themselves, with a sky unfleoked with a
cloud, and a sun that smiled down genially,
though warmly, npon the city and Its bathers.
House Entered. Some time during last
night burglars entered the dwelling No. 2210
Pine street, occupied by Mr. Griffith, through
the rear second story window. It is not known
whether they stole anything of value or not,
as the family is away.

There Is no Institution the country is in so
ich need of at the present time as that now
bsfcig pushed rapidly towards completion by
the Washington Library Company, and there
should certainly be no delay on the part of
everybody in forwarding the completion of the
Riverside Institute, established for the gratui
tous education of the orphans of the soldiers
and sailors who stood by and fell In defense of
our country in her day of need. This can be
done by subscribing for one, two, three, four, or
five certificates of stock at one dollar a share;
and besides the gratification of aiding a worthy
object, every purchaser receives with each share
bought a fine steel-plate engraving, worth fifty
per cent, more than the price of the stock. The
Trustees are enabled to make this generous
offer from the fact that they have made a bind
ing contract with the publisher of these engra
vings for many thousand copies, and conse
quently get them much below their retail
value. In addition to this, each share of stock
guarantees one present In the greatdistribution
which comes off in September. The aggregate
value of these presents is $300,000. These have
also been obtained in the same manner as the
engravings, i. e., the large amount taken ena
bles the Trustees to offer these extraordinary
inducements, and still have a good profit for
the benefit of the Institution. Everybody should
call at No. 1225 Chesnut street, and Inquire
further into this charitable object.

AFFAIRS IN UTAH.
The Reported Split Among the Mor
monsThe Truth ot the Affair New
Gold Field.
(j beat Salt Lake Citt, July 19. A week or
two back paragraphs were going the rouuds of
the press, East and West, to the effect that a
split among the Mormons in Utah had occurred
or was imminent, and that Brlgham Young had
severed from the Mormon Cairo h three.of the
Twelve Apostles Oraon Pratt, Orson Hyde, and
Amasa Lyman. These pttrasraphs grew out of
statements made by the Union Vedette, the
"Gentile" newspaper of this city. In this in
stance it is to be apprehended that the Vedette,
in its eagerness to make a point against
tbe Mornious, rather stretched tbe tacts,
or at least made them as sensational as
possible. I have heard nothing to lead me to
suppose that either Orson Hyde or Orson Pratt
is not in "lull icllowship" with Brigbttm and
tbe Mormon Church. There is some reason to
tbink that Amasa Lyman is not held in such
esteem. All the above three gentlemen are
thinking men, and each entertains, or has eater
tained, doctrines which Brigaam contends are
heretical. Amasa, as he U lamiliarly called
here, does not behave in the atonement of
Jesus Christ, which Bugbam asserts is a funda
mental principle of Mormanlsm. Amasa also
teauhes this doctrine to others, and has done
to un to a late date, although a recantation of
his views in that particular, with his name at
tbe loot of the document, was published a few
montns ago in the Deaeret Hews. Hence it
appears that Brigham tnitiks Amasa should be
tied up a little, and tbe people warned not to
give heed to his doctrine, all which bos been
done.
Orson Pratt and Orson Hyde, so far as I have
heard, do not now leach doctrines obnoxious to
Brigbam and the Mormon Church at large. Con
sequently, I see no reason to conclude that any
Church action bos been taken aeainst tbem by
Brigham, nor have I heard that such has been
the cae ot late.
I have Dot heard anything of any split In the
Mormon Church in consequence of the non
orthodox doctrines of the three geutlemen
named. It is possible that 6ome ot the Mormons
believe in those doctrines, but if so the number
is comparatively lew, as tuere is no stir what
ever concerning the matter. I do not think that
either ol the three would have any gTeat influ
ence as a relmious leader in opposition to Brig
ham Young, even were such opposition contem
plated, or an actual met.
There has been considerable excitement of
late in this city and in most of the Territory
over the late discovery of gold diggings two
hundred miles or so east of this place. The
locality of the new mines is a few miles north
east ot the old overland route through the South
Pass, consequently is on the Atlantic slope.
The prospects are reputedly rich. It has been
stated that fifteen hundred people have gone
Irom these valleys to the new El Dorado, Out
that is probably an exaegeratlon, though many
persons certainly have ifone, and some rich
specimens oi quartz have been brought in. Tbe
Montana mining laws have been adopted in the
new gold fields, which laws, it was wont to be
familiarly stated, recognized claims extending
"lroru summit to summit." Hence the claims
at Strawberry, the name given the new dlcglngs,
are of liberal extent.
The chief reason why so many people rushed
from this Territory to thee mines was that it
was rumored that Brigham had advised such a
movement, boing contrary to the advice given
by him in all previous gold digging excitements.
However, last Sunday he publicly declared that
he had DOtdone anything of the kind, nor had
he sent anybody to make claims for himself, as
was reported. He stuck to bis own old doctrine
that those men who staid at home and raised
grain and built houses would be able to buy out
those who went to hunt gold. He had only ad
vised one man to go, and he had been prospect
ing unsuccessfully for a long time, and now
thought he bad got the big ta.Dg at last. ,
However valuable the new fields may prove
for gold producing, there is one thiug certain,
that locality is anything but inviting as a place
of residence. It is blessed with none but cold
nights, with a very short summer, with a long
winier of extreme cold and heavy snows. Few
people would like to make their borne at the
fcoulh Pass, though on Green river, 60 miles or
so west, farms have been made, aDd grain and
potatoes raised. But still, tbe number of people
who would think of the attractions of a home ou
the ridge dividing the waters of the two slopes
could not be great. N. Y, Time.

FOURTH EDITION
THE SUItRATT TRIAL.
IS O VERDICT YET.
WAsniNOToi, August 9. At 10-30 o'clock thin
morning the Surratt jury had not reported.
Tbey have now been out forty-seven hours.
Judge Fisher has not yet appeared. It Is now
fifty-nine days, including Sundays, since the
first juror, Mr. Todd, was sworn. During the
progress of the trial two hundred and oUjbty
two witnesses In all were examined. The prose
cution first examined sevcuty-four witnesses in
chief; then ninety-two witnesses were examined
by the defense; then the prosecution followed
in the rebuttal, and after examining seventy
three witnesses, none others appearing, the de
fense was allowed to examine thirteen witnesses
r rebuttal, principally In relation to witnesses
whose character had been assailed.
The ptoeccution, resuming, examined twenty
six witnesses In rebuttal, and, testimony closed
with the examination ol four witnesses in ur
rebuttal. The per diem of the lurors to this
time amounts to $13-89. The jurors are allowed
$2 per day. Four of them were sworn fifty-nine
days ago, and the others two days afterwards.
The Government is also responsible for the
hotel bill for the jury, but it has not yet been
rendered, and its amount is not known. The
strictly legal fees to witnesses will amount to
$20,000. The bill for carringe-blre amounts to
$730. Besides this, It Is said that the prosecu
tion had a reserve fund to draw from, and most
of it has already been expended. Tbe crowd la
attendance is not so great this morning as it
has been on previous occasions, and includes no
females. i ...
At this hour the rumors and conjectures are
various, but none reliable. Indeed, the jury has
been so carefully guarded that it has .been Im
possible to approach the door of the room' near
enough to overhear their deliberations or con
versations. At a quarter to 12 o'clock it was reported that
a bailiff in attendance udou the jury had been
sent for Judge Fisher, as tbe jury had some mes
sage to communicate to him. The jury has now
been out over forty-eight hours. The crowd Is
again collecting In the court room, and filling
It up as upon the trial days.
The piisoncr was visited at the jail this morn
ing by his brother, Mr. Isaac Surratt. He m
hopeful and in good spirits. He has not been
biought irom the jail since Wednesday, when
the case was given to the jury.
The Indian War.
St. Louis, August 9. An Omaha despatch,
says General Shelby and Colonel Hacker arrived
from the mountains last night. : Spotted Tail's
band of Indians have broken up, and part' of
tbem, under Two Strike, crossed the Platte yes
terday, and are reported as having joined a
psrty of Cheyennes on the war path. The set
tlers are going to the North Platte .station for
protection. The steamer Antelope lies above
Fort Benton, completely riddled by bullets tired
by the Sioux. i ?
A passenger on the Imperial was killed by the
Indians to-day. . .
A battle recently took place at Pinos Altos,
New Mexico, between forty citizens, and eight
soldiers and a large body of Indians. , Eleven of
the latter were killed and eight taken prisoners.
A white captive girl was relieved and taken to
Fort Bayard. The hiding place of the Indians
was burned. " ' !
The Redaction of Work at tne Spring
fleld Armory. . i . ,
From the Springfield (Mais.) Republican, Aug. 8.
Between 350 and 400 men have now been dis
charged from the Armory, leaving the whole
umber still employed 800 or 850.. The first
order from Washington for the Allln altered
breech-loaders directed the commandant to
make 25,000 for trial. These were completed,
and the reports from the army where the guns
had been used being favorable, a second oidor
lor 25,000 waa given, with instructions to push
the daily production up to 500 a day. The In
structions were complied with as soon as pos
sible, and about 37,000 arms of this model had
been completed, when the order, recently pro
mulgated, came to reduce the production to 200
per day.
This will be done at once, and it will conse
quently take about three months to complete
the fifty thousand guns. Tuis number will
equip our present standing army, and it is sup
posed that the Government, acceding to the
stress of unsuccesslul inventors and breech
loader proprietors in high places, will here
cease its alterations on the Allln plan, at least
lor the present, and until a more thorough and
complete trial m tbe army shall have made its su
periority unquestionable. Three months hence
when the order lor lilty thousand breech-loaders
is filled, the force of employes at the Armory
according to present indications, will be re
duced to three or lour hundred men, who will
devote their time to repairs on guns and sabres
large numbers of which are now on hand. This
was about the force employed just before the
war. It a new and dllierent model of breech
loader stiould be adopted, or there should be a
war-flurry, the force will be enlarged aeain as
circumstances demand; but the numbers indi-
cairu must ue ucucpiea as ine Usual
peace
quota.
