Destroyed Other Damage Done.
One of the most severe rain, hall and
wind storms that has visited Scran ton
in several years passed over this city
early last evening and disappeared
down the valley and over the mountains
In a southeasterly direction. The
storm, which was a sort of youthful,
wet and lusty cyclone, left behind tt
a trail of damage and disorder which
affected everything1 that lay In Its path,
buildings, trees, telegraph and tele
phone wires and poles, vehicles and all
else that wan not strong enough to
withstand It.
In the business section of the city the
little hurricane was most felt as In that
locality occurred the greatest fall ot
hall, and here the two storms, one
from the north and one from the north
west seemed to center. The fall of
hail, which created the greater havoc,
extended from Green Ridge to the city
line on the south and from Main ave
nue on the west to Clay avenue on the
east.
Cellurs were flooded on all of the bus
Iness streets owing to the Inadequate
capacity of the sewers, windows were
cracked or broken, the foliage of trees
and shrubbery were stripped and torn
and at all the intersections of streets
nearly level there were smalt seaa of
seething, gushing- water.
THE THREATENING STORM.
The afternoon had contained periods
of threatening weather. Soon after
Ave o'clock the storm signs developed
Into a brief period of thunder and
lightning which was followed by the
deluge, hail and wind. It lasted fifteen
minutes, the thermometer dropping In
that length of time from 88 to 65 de
grees. According to H. E. Paine, local
weather forecaster, a nominal rainfall
for six hours would be about one-half
of an Inch. Yesterday In fifteen mln
utes the fall was fifty-seven hund
reths of an Inch or about twenty-five
times above the normal.
All during the evening reports of the
damage were received by Tho Tribune.
The hall was much larger than or
dinary sited marbles. In some sections
of the city It lay on the ground like one
Immense white blanket or was blown,
or washed and left lying in piles bigger
than waggon loads after the first fury
of the storm had passed. Tho aph
proach of the storm was so sudden that
many driven had no opportunity to
get their horses under shelter and there
were few of the main streets that didn't
witness several runaways. Four-teams
at the Lackawanna depot behaved so
badly that It was necessary to lead two
of them under the big covered entrance
entendtng along the north side of the
structure. The other two teams were
detached and led into the depot hall
way. LINDEN STREET CURRENT.
An Idea of the volume of water may
be had from the statement that Linden
street from Elm Park church to Penn
avenue formed the channel of a rushing,
roaring river with a current so swift
that for several minutes after the storm
ceased heavy wagons crossing the
stream were swung sideways by tho
force of the current. At Linden street
and Washington avenue a miniature
lake surrounded the Washington statue
on court house square and extended to
beyond the benches that line the side
walk. The condition at the corner of
Wyoming avenue was much the same,
a pond reaching from Bishop O'Hara's
residence nearly to the Academy of
Music.
Few of the large retail stores escaped
more or less damage from water that
entered the cellars either from over
flow over the curbing or from water
that "backed" from the sewers through
Inks, closets and basins.
The trap of a closet In the cellar of
Williams & McAnulty's store wns
broken and over a foot of water from
the sewer ruined about $1,600 worth ot
wall paper, matting, carpeting and
other stock.
If a list was compiled of other retail
establishments which suffered loss,
great and light, the list would Include
nearly fifty per cent, of the stores. Of
the skylights ot photograph studios, the
only ones that withstood the rain and
hail were those sloping toward the
Bouth. The skylights of Kemp's, Frey's,
Easterllne's and Humler's parlors were
among those which were demolished.
All over the region where the hall fell
the thickest, dead birds lay on the
ground In scores. Fifteen sparrows
were brought Into the desk sergeant's
room nt police headquarters In the city
hall by the three young cats that make
their home in the building.
About two hundred feet of the fence
at Athletic Park was carried across

REPAIRING A SPECIALTY.
ERNEST W. SMITH,
SiSUCXaWMlMVE.
Providence road, a part of It striking
a delivery wagon In Its flight and up
setting It The driver and horses es
caped serious injury. A chimney on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station was blown down.
WIRES CAME DOWN.
The Central Pennsylvania Telephone
and Supply company was one of the
heaviest losers by the storm. All of
its wires supplying the North End of
the city which run out Capouse avenue
are down and it will take days to get
the service In smooth working order
again. The Capouse avenue poles sus
tained one hundred wires, sixty on
cross and forty in a cable, the latter
furnishing the means of communication
with points north of the city. Between
Phelps and Ash street a heavy wire
guy was used to strengthen ono of the
poles where the avenue makes a bend.
When the wires and tops of the poles
began to sway from the force of the
wind this guy wire snapped and with
cracking Bound the pole followed its
example, carrying the cable and wires
with it to the pavement.
But the trouble did not end there.
There was more cracking and snap
ping and one by one fifteen other poles
followed the example of the first bring
ing the wires down from Ash street to
a point between Pine and Olive streets.
The strain on the poles must have
been tremonduous as many of them
cracked and splintered almost from top
to bottom. The poles were all tall ones
and In falling reached to the fence
line on the opposite side of Capouse
avenue, making the roadway Im
passable. The feed wires and trolley
wire of the Traction company were also
carried to the ground by the falling
poles and several of the Traction com
pany's poles were elso brought to
earth.
CAUSED CONSTERNATION.
The greatest consternation was
caused on Capouse avenue when the
poles and wires began to come down,
Two trolley cars wore on the switch
near Pine street and a falling pole
struck the roof of a car nearest to tho
westerly curb and effectually eld It. The
mtitorman and conductor threw them
selves prone on the floor to avoid In
Jury and one woman who was in the car
fainted. A block further up the street
a pole descended on the wagon of Me
gargel & Connell, but fortunately nei
ther the driver nor horses were Injured.
A Burrey standing In front of Lublg's
hotel was badly wrecked by a falling
pole and the driver of the delivery
wagon of Atlas & Sayre had a t.arrow
escape from Injury, the vehicle In which
he was seated being pinned to the
pavement by the same pole that smush
cd the surrey.
William Wltherlll, of Dunmore, a
driver for tho Atlantic Refining com
pany was not so fortunate. His wagon
was near Phelps street when a pole fell
crushing him to the seat His cries ot
pain soon brought help but as he was
surrounded by a perfect net work. of
wires, any of which was apt to be
heavily charged by contact with the
trolley cable, the work of relieving him
was attended by much difficulty and
danger. When finally removed from
his painful position it was found that
several of his ribs were broken and
that he had a number of painful
bruises. He was removed to hla home.
A STRANGE APPEARANCE.
Capouse avenue presented a strange
appearance Immediately after the storm
and during the evening It was visited
by hundreds of sight-seers who were
anxious to view the destruction that
had been wrought. The telegraph com
pany promptly put a large force of men
at work clearing up the street 'and at
ten o'clock last night the wires had all
been cut away, the poles moved to one
side of the street and travel again made
possible along the thoroughfare. Be
fore the work of clearing up the wreck
was begun, however, the fire alarm wire
was fastened In a temporary way to the
poles on the east side of the street, so
that an alarm could be rung In case of
a fire In the North End ot the city.
The cable containing tho forty tele
phone wires was uninjured by its fall
and this preserved telephonic communi
cation with Carbondale and intermedi
ate points. The service within the city
was over the open wires carried on the
cross arms of the poles and a force of
men was engaged all last night trying
to arrange a temporary service that can
be put in operation today. The poles
that went down yesterday were all
sound and were erected less than two
years ago.
Superintendent Fox, of the Traction
company, also had a force of men work
ing last night repairing the damage
done to Its wires and poles and by 9
oelock this morning hopes to have cars
running again on the Capouse avenue
line.
IN THE CENTRAL CITY.
Connolly & Wallace were among the
very heaviest of the storm sufferers.
The roof gutters could not carry the
water and It overflowed through the
skylight and down Into the store. In
the rear of the store there is a depres
sion In the alley where a small lake form
ed. This lake found an outlet through
the basement windows and while the
skylight was playing havoo on tho
ground floor the cellar was being de
luged by the flood from the alley. Near
ly everything In the kid gloves and cor
sets departments, which were directly
beneath the skylight, was damaged
more or less by the water and every
thing within six inches of the floor in
the basement suffered a like fate. To
make matters worse the cap on a sewer
trap In thefrontcellar was broken off by
the force of the water deending from
the roof leaders and almost the entire
volume of water that came from the
roof was directed Into the cellar.
The excavation for Carter and Ken
nedy's new building on the southeast
corner of Adams avenue and Linden
street was so suddenly filled by the veri
table rivor which flowed down Linden
street that the horses had to be cut
from the wagons to save them. The
dirt wagons, except for their sideboards
and platforms which floated about on
the surface, were submerged In ten
feet ot water.
A canvass sign of DeWitt the photo
grapher on Spruce street was torn into
shreds by the hailstones as If It had
been riddled by bullets. Scarcely a
whole pane of glass was left In John
Palmer's old hot house on Washington
avenue. Sanderson s pharmacy on the
griWhd tltxip of the Commonwealth
building was threatened with a flood.
the water raising to wthln an Inch of
overflowing the curb.
A large tree In front of the Mears
residence, corner of Washington avenue
nd Vine street, was blown down and
large branches were torn from trees
In the lawns of I. A. Finch and Hon.
Alfred Hand.
SCORE OF CELLARS FLOODED.
Many of the stores on the southerly
side of Lackawanna avenue suffered
extensively from the flood which filled
the whole breadth of Railroad alley and
was a foot deep In the center. L. W.
Tiddel's gun shop In the basement of
the Fuller building, 402 Lackawanna
avenue, had three feet of water in U.
Basements and cellars all along the
thoroughfare caught more or less of the
flood. Fred Durr's place caught a little
water through tho skylight which had
two panes of glass broken through by
the halt Two banners strung across
Lackawanna avenue advertising pleas
ure events will advertise no more.
The skylights In the roofs of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western car
shops were riddled Into atoms by the
hail and allowed the rain to pour into
the buildings in torrents.
Between Monroe and Madson avenues
a Laurel Hill car became unconfut
able on account of wind and rain, and
at the corner of Madison avenue and
Pine street the car Jumped the track and
ran down Pine and came to a stand
still by coming in contact with the curb
line of the sidewalk. Three or four
passengers were on the car, but no one
was injured.
The frame of a pew building near
Nay Aug park was raised yesterday be
fore the storm came frisking about.
There Is no frame there now or any
thing to Indicate there ever was one.
The wind made a clean sweep.
At the foot of Franklin avenue the
wind fastened itself to the roof of P. F.
and M. T. Ilowley's storage warehouse
and ripped a portion of It off before de
sisting. A lady whose name cannot be
learned stepped oft of a Nay Aug car
at Prescott avenue and attempted ti
lift a wire that was In her way. It hap
pened that the innocent looking wire
was heavily charged with electricity
and as soon as the woman took hold of
It she received a terrible shook that
stnuned her for several minutes.
DAMAGE AT OLYPHANT.
At Olyphant the greatest damage
was done at the new electric plant
which Is being erected near the Dela
ware and Hudson station. The build
ing in which the plant Is located Is a
frame structure 40x70 feet and one-story
In height. Alongside the building was
a 08-foot Iron stack. While the storm
was raging fiercely ono of the guy
wires supporting the stuck gave way
and the mass of Iron foil on the build
ing, demolishing It. Nine men cm
ployed In the building at the time es.
caped serious injury by throwing them
selves undor the boilers. Ppruks Broth
ers, of this city, had the contract for the
construction of the building and tin ir
loss will amount to several hundred dol
lars. The stack and machinery of the
plant wus put in by the Scranton Sup
ply and Machinery company. The
stack broke In two when it fell.
Great damage was done in Olyphant
by water. Lackawanna avenue was
converted Into a river and on Susque
hanna avenue a number of large trees
were uprooted. Portions of the fence
about the central school building were
razed to the ground.
A large amount ot damage was done
on the South Side by the wind and
rain. The roof of the Scranton Button
factory on Brook street was loosened
and part of It was blown off. A smoke
stack was blown down on the brewery
of Casey & Kelly, and the Bouth Steel
Mill had to suspend operations for an
hour on account of tho fear that some
of the high stacks would come down
and crush out the lives of the work
men. They retreated to a place of
safety until the wind subsided.
Scarcely a house from the Roaring
Brook to Brook street along South
Washington, Cedar, Pittston, Prospect,
Stone and Irving avenues escaped
without a broken window light. Trees,
and fences were laid low. Streams of
water came tearing down the cross
streets, tearing up gullies ns they went
along, and carrying with them to the
lower streets largo deposits of mud and
gravel. From this cause on Cedar and
Pittston avenues tho trolley ca,rs were
delayed until a force of men with shov
els unearthed the rails-.
NO OUTLET FOR WATER.
The block bounded by Elm street,
Remington and Cedar avenues and
Brook street, won) almost Inundated.
The water came down In huge volumes,
and having no corresponding outlet,
was dammed up. Tho residents who
were In their houses, could not get out
and vice versa. After an hour or so the
water flowed away, but the cellars are
soaked, and the vegetation In the gar
dens was destroyed.
That part of Cedar avenue between
River street and the bridge was flood
ed so that the waUr was coining In
over the curbing. Men got out with
rakes and shovels find kept the gutters
open to the sewer basins. This pre
vented the houses on the lower side
from being flooded. An immense vol
ume of water came down from the
Orchard grounds and down River
street. The avenue, after the etorm,
loked like a macadamized road instead
of an asphalt pavement.
Pittston avenue was flooded from Al
der street to Beech, and the residents
were out with thlr mops, brooms, etc.,
to keep the water from the cellars. The
South Washington avenuo Flats did
not escape tho deluge, but strange' to
say, there was not any ununual dam
age done by tho surplus water. While
the street3 were knee deep In water,
there was less complaint nbout damage
from that cause than came from tho
avenues higher on the hill. But there
was a sever vlBltatlon of hnll.
