Cleveland. Sept. 1. A rnln dorm that
hrg.tn at midnight, last night worked
haoc nil over tho city. Houses were
wrecked, floodoel and keeled over. Many
lives were in peril and only heroic work
prevented heavy lo.ss of Jiff. The fall
ot rnln was the heaviest In the city's
hihiory. Trains were delayed by wash
nu's and stieet car t runic on many lines
Is at a standstill.
The liver is a raging torrent. The
property loss at this hour is estimated
n I $1,000,000.
i:h the breaking of dawn this morn
Ins the citizens of Cleveland awoke to
ln.ik upon a scone of unparallelled de
vastation and destruction caused by a
inging flood. While the entire city
wnn more or less affected, the great
vrlume of raging water vented its nn-
r over miles of the eastern portion
of the city and caused an amount of
damage approximately at $l,ono,00.
The npp.ttling overflow was caused
b.v a tertillc ram that commenced to
fall shoitly after 2 o'clock, turned Into
a perfect cloudburst between the hours
of " and 5 and then continued with
gioac force until neatly 10 o'clock.
The Rtonn, according to the weather
officials, was the heaviest that ever
swept over Cleveland since the estab
lishment of the government bureau In
thl.-t city over forty years ago.
That no lives were lost Is nothing
f-h it of a miracle, as the stories of
thrilling escapes from the water on sev
eral of the principal residence streets
of the city are told. The surging
waters spread over an area in the oast
end nearly eight miles long and a mile
and a half wide.
This extended from Woodlawn Hills
a'eniie to Kast Cleveland and back to
I ast Madison avenue.
Volumes of Water.
Great volumes of the water poured
over from )u;m mid rilddliigs brooks
down qulncy street, swamped Vienna
street, rushed over Cedar avenue hack
over on Kast Prospect street; i ushed
like a mill race down Lincoln avenue
to Kuelld avenue and then on to Glen
Tark place when' houses were under
mined as though built of straw and
almost Incredible damage done to
streets and property. (Ivor a large
share of this exclusive loshlciue terri
tory the water ru-died with terrltlo.
force, varying in depth from one to
i-is feet. Culverts, trestles and bridges
were torn down and for hours nothing
seeine.l capable of stemming the tide
ot destruction.
Hundreds of residents who were Im
prisoned in their beautiful homes like
stranded Islanders were almost panic
stricken expecting to be called upon
to wade out Into the swirling water
at almost every minute. Danger slg
nals were Hashed about the city ns
speedily as the disabled telephone' sys
tem would allow and the work of res
cue commenced. How boats plied back
and forth assisting whole families
from perilous positions, but these
proved pitifully Inadequate and It was
soon found necessary to go to the ex
traordinary precaution of calling on
the life saving crews from the river,
u distance of seven miles.
The life boats were quickie loaded
In wagons and hurried to the scene
of destruction.
The torrent surged with awful force
for hours in Peering street from Fair
mount to the boulevard, and over a
dozen families were penned In like
rnts In a trap, with water five nnd
nix feet deep surrounding their homes.
At this point the life saving crew
worked valiantly nnd assisted by
squads of firemen and policemen finally
succeeded In luiullng the terror-stricken
people In places of safety. The fear
was greatly enhanced by the momeii
nry expectation that the great Shaker
Heights dam would break loose and
belch forth terrible destruction.
Shortly before noon the torrent suc
ceeded In undermining a score of
graves In the St. Joseph cemetery, at
the corner of Kast Madison nnd
Woodland, nnd the bodies were soon
being tossed about In the wateis.
Corpses Washed Into Gutters.
Fully n dozen of the corpses weio.
washed Into gutters and had not been
reoovered late tonight.
The great flood boiled over the hanks
of Ponn brook nil along the bouluvard
and caused damago that It will take
months to repair. Croat Jagged holes
are torn In the beautiful driveway and
the look of ruin stretches In ovety
direction.
Gordon nnd Wade parks, on the Kast
Side, nnd Hrookslde park, In tho South
Side, where the water also did great
damage as It leaped over the banks of
the big creek, nre damaged to an
amount figured at $100,000.
Through Olenvllle the overflow wea
terribly destructive. Many houses are
pwamped, culverts torn nut and sev
eral streets turned Into seething quag
mires. The loss In the village Is olso
estimated at $10,000.
The street railways will suffer nn
Immense loss, extending In various de
grees of every portion of the city. The
Hlg Consolidated will have to rebuild
their tracks over different parts of the
inundated Kast Knd district, and the
loss Is placed nt toO.OOO.
The Superior street trestle of the
Little Consolidated Is practically ruined
and this, with other serious damages
of the lines of the company extending
away over to the West Side, will run
them uway Into the thousands. The
ofltclals of the road were not teady,
however, to make any stutement of
their loss tonight, more than It would
he unusually heavy.
The train service on all roads was
blocked from two to nix houts by the
fearful effect of the storm and Hood.
Every road entering the city was ter
ribly handicapped by sand and dirt,
which was swept over the tracks. Sev
eral washouts occurred, the woist being
on the Lake Shore, near Gordon park,
where the trestle was' buffeted about
by the force of the water until ten
dered almost worthless.
The dnmagc to th" railways which
will also be great cannot be even esti
mated until tho large force of track
hand.", ten! out on emergency calls
can he hoard from. The mall sen Ice
lrom the east was completely tied up
from 10 In the morning until S tonight.
Hut the vast amount of damage falls
upon the householders within the
flooded district. The great sea of water
it ached n depth of one foot on the first
floors of scores of the Kast Knd homes,
hi illng up from the sewers and pour
ing in olT the streets carrying every
thing that came in Us path along
with It.
A Remarkable Feature.
In many cases tho fear-stricken resi
dents battered down cellar walls in
order to give the torrent an outlet anil
prevent the swamping of their entire
home. A remarkable feature of the
storm which ouus-d such a terrilrlc de
struction is that up until B o'clock this
morning hardly a drop of rain fell west
of Wilson avenue while during the
mntniug hours the Kast Knd was be
Inis fairly swamped In a perfect de
luge of rain. Another renuirknhle
thing is that no thunder and lightning
accompanied the record breaking
downfall.
While thousands of citizens in the
most aristocratic section of the city
wire aroused to see thousands upon
thousands of dollars' worth of their
property being crushed nnd destroyed,
another and greater portion of the
city was wrapped In slumber totally
oblivious to the danger surrounding
their follow i Itizens.
A remarkable thing is that compara
thely little damage was done along
the banks of the liver outside of the
washing away of loose piles of lumber.
The damage to houses nnd their ef
fects cannot he estimated accurately
pel haps for days, but it will reach
dose to the half million mark.
The city will also lose heavily on
damape to streets, culverts, bridges
nnd pavements over the district cov
ered by the water.
Ilesldents along Kast Prospect street
near Lincoln avenue, on Lincoln ave
nue and Glen Park place, were aroused
between 4 and ," o'clock In the morning
by the sound of booming waters. The
water continued to steadily rise until
It was eight feet. My ti o'clock the resi
dents along Lincoln avenue commenced
to move furniture and valuables to the
second lloor os the rushing torrent
reached the level of front porches and''
In n number of houses swept Into the
first tloot s.
The waters rushed back from Lincoln
avenue until the big space Just east
ot the avenue and between Kast Pros
pect street and Kuclid nvenue was one
Sfiit mass of angry water from four to
ten feet in depth. Harns and hugo
j. Jens of lumber were swirled about llko
light corks and hanged Into many Lin
coln avenue homes, tlueatenlng their
dislructlon.
Women in Peril.
The residents along tho north side
of Kast Prospect street fiom Lincoln
inenue to within a few feet of Hillings
avenue were penned in their homes
Hue stranded islanders. The water
mine up to the porch steps and within
a few feet of the porches. It was four
to live feet In depth. The families of
.Mrs. V. K, Newton and F. A. Warren,
on Wllllamette couit, had a teilble
expnieiice with the Hood. Mrs. New
tonV mother. Mrs. Caroline llnnim,
aged fit. years, Is in a serious condition
as a result of the fright and exposure.
For tluee limns the woman signalled
for help from their house, which Is
down In a little alley, which placed It
at the absolute mercy of the rushing
v.alei. The barn and shed were swept
from their foundation and this added
to the terror of the two women, who
wre alone In the house. As the water
leached a depth of six feet and com
in i.i ert to pour In on the first floor, the
women became almost frantic. xn
bonis were at hand and as wading was
out of the question, neighbors called
to the frightened women t., vtnaln
v ivre they were until othei m ji,s of
rescu'tig them could be seniivd. A
ludo raft was hastily put together and
Hie families rescued.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON
IS VERY FEEBLE
Reported by the Boston Traveler to
Bo in a Dangerous Condition.
Cabinet Officers Call on Him.
Br Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Jloston, Sept. 1. The Traveler
last night prints tho following dispatch
from Lake .Siinapee, N. II.:
"Unless all the signs fall William T.
riampson has gone through his last
compaign. Those who have had the
privilege of seeing him In tlf1 last
week say that he will never be able
to appear before the Court of luiiulry
In Washington. Admiral Sampson is
a very sick man. That Is the verdict
not only of the summer tourists, who
ere now on their way home, hut of tho
physicians, who from time to time
have quietly made tho journey from
lloston and Portsmouth to attend the
distinguished visitor. They called on
him at the Httrke-Hnven Head hotel
and when they left, shook their heads
ominously. The physicians all refuse
to talk to the correspondents. O;io sur
geon from the Portsmouth Navy Yard
said: 'The Admiral Is doing as well
ns can be expected' and such a report
from the sick room can be easily
translated.
When Admiral Sampson arrived with
his wife It was expected the change
would result in a marked Improvement
In his conlltlon. Ho was far from be
ing a well man when he came, but
from time to time Instead of showing
tiny Impiovomcnt, his condition has
grown steadily worse. Tho change In
his condition Is pathetic. Ho cannot
move even tho shortest distance with
out assistance. Mrs. Sampson is iuva
li'tbly at his side and seems to antici
pate his slightest wish. Ho acts like
one who has not the slightest interest
In life.
He Is said to be unable to walk-any
distance nnd his eyes lack lustre,
while his face is pallid, the color of
parchment, The rule regarding Hits
nou-admlttance of visitors was brok
en yesterday and only then to allow
Hon. .John Hay, the secretary of state,
nnd Hon. Charles ICmory Smith, the
postmaster geneial, to see the Admiral.
They make a very brief stay and when
they came forth from the hotel tho
faces of both men were very grave.
Secietary Hay was questioned as to
Admiral Sampson's condition and he
teplled: "You must excuse nie. Theie
Is nothing I can tell you."
Postmaster General Smith simply
said: "Admiral Sampson Is far from
being u well man."
b'rom other sources comes the Infor
mation that all tho uewa regarding
tho coming Schley Hoard of Inquiry
Is kept away from the Admiral, and
that his condition Is so alarming the
slightest shock. It 13 felt, will result
most ?roubly."

I'lttshurg. Sept. 1. The prlnelpal In
terest In strike matters today was
centered In the Duquesne plant, where
It wan expected the strikers would
make a decided move tuwnrd closing
down the entire works. The leport
from there tonight says the situation
Is critical, Tin.- two hotn melters and
all tlrst helpers went to work as usual
this morning, and all twelve furnaces
weie charged. Only one second helper
went In and all ladlemen stayed out.
The strikers made a thorough house
to hous-ej canvass of open hearth men
all day. At I o'clock, the time for
helper! and ladlemen to go on, pickets
weie on duty on the streets and turned
hack three ladlemen. The night turn
Is badly crippled, hut men were

If tho open hearth is shut clown the
forty-Inch mill must also shut down.
This mill supplcfl Monessen, Vander

Is Important to the strikers. Mill
ofllcials admit today that a strike Is

low. Thirty coal and Iron police were
brought from Urnddock nnd the night
and day borough police, with four
extras, are on duty. Kverythlng so far

ner. Strike Benefits Paid.
A conservative estimate ot the
amount of strike benctlts that are to
bo paid to theAmnlgomuted association
to its striking members nou. Idle, has
been placed at 10,000 every week. This
Is basing the number of benellclarles
at io.000, nnd the average payment to
a member Is $4 a week. Secretary Will
iams, of the association, said that the
payments will be made every two
weeks, commencing September II, nnd
will be continued so long as the strike
lutitr. lie declares that there will be
stitllclent money to care for all the
striking members and in cases where
the four dollars Is not enough, care of
a member and his family more will bo
given. No statement of the actual i-on-d'tion
of the Amalgamated treasury
has ever been given out, but front the
way contributions have come Into the
organization and the normal sum of
money theie, It Is believed that the
pietent balance to the credit of the or
ganization Is (julte large. Mr. Will
iams says, however, that the organiza
tion has resources not known to the
general public that will enuble It to
continue Its strike for nn Indefinite
length of time.
