The rain storm of Friday ,
evening as
one of the heaviest we have been visited
with for some time, and while leasing its
marks in cleaner thoroughfares, cooler
,
atmosphere and rejuvenated nature in
the city and suburbs, in one district of
our city at least, the noted illiardscrab
tile," was followed by effects which were
,
not of such a pleasant and desirable
character. Oar readers must all
remember the Try street sewer, a very
stpprop
. , ,
riate name, as it 18 certainly one of
the most trying specimens of workman
ship which the city has ever been
troubled with. Well, last Tuesday an
other break occurred in this sewer, in
that part of it which traverses Watgon
street. The break caused a large part of
the ground Within a few feet from Shin
feas street tobe washed away, leaving a
arg hole or basin, about thirty feet in
dep h, in the middle of the street.
The water, however, found its way
thrugh a small opening which still re.
mai ed in the sewer, and the damage
was not at once repaired, that wbrk being
put 0,0113 e :te Illottf convenient ' season.
~
It ,mined" it this 'Condition - until the
storm of Friday night, when the rain
began tb fall In tdrrents. 'About half
, past nine o'clock the water bad collected
in large volume In the upper part of the ,
sewer, and came rushing through with
terrific force until its progress was
checked by the break, the outlet to
which had by this time became choked up
with the ftalltne debris front' the sides
loosened by the rain. The course of the
flood being thus suddenly arrested, the
water collected,in the basin, which in a
few minutes was filled to the level of the
street, and then it had an unobstructed
passage. On the lower side of Watson
street, and standing . with their , first
floors several feet below the grade, are
about a dozen frame tenement houaes,
two stories high. and each occupie d
by two families, one above end another
below stairs: The faniillek In moat of
these had retired for the night, and were
suddenly .awakened by the noise of the
rushing torrent, which peured into the
lower apartments, filling them .with : a
muddy, filthy overflow five or aix feet
deep. ABeds, tables. chairs and every
thing movable - in the rooms very soon
floated around in the Water and
were completely saturated with it.
In many instances the inmates barely
escaped crowning; so rapidly were their
apartments, filled. Everfthing
,in, the
rooms of a perhable nature, such as
food, clothing, bedding, etc., was com
pletely destroyed, while that which was.
saved is almost worthless from the ef
fects of the mud; the , fish:gallon of the
water, and knocking about. 'the mud
left by the water after it bad subsided
covered the wails and floors to the depth
of several inchee, and rendered the
rooms wholly untenantabte.
' In about half an hour after the, deluge
the obstruction in the outlet to the sewer
break gave way and tne water com
menced to abate but did not all disap
pear for sever al hours, and left behind
is ell the filth and scum which had been
carried along in its course... When the
break could be seen Saturday morning
a dray was found among the debris
which had been drawn in during the
evening.ln some instances the escapes from
drowning were exceedingly narrow.
The first house was' occupied by Mrs.
Mary Porter and her daughter, who
were only saved by being drawn up
through a hole cut in the floor of the
upper room. In the second house Mr.
John Hogan, after great difficulty, sue
cieedell in savnig all his, family except
the frifant, which dn; the antfluilcui had
been left behind. Michael Cary, a young
man, upon learning this, went into the
house again and rescued the c.bild,which
was sleeping in HA cradle, which had been
floating around in the water.
The third house was occupied by Mrs.
Phoebellfason, a Widow, whose husband
died about three weeks since, leaving
six children dependent on her for sup.
peat.
Mr. Joseph Sommer, Robert Mont
gomery, Mra. Ferguson. Mr. Jones, Jas.
Skelton. Mr. John Koarney and Mrs.
Mary Flinn, occupied the remainder of
the houses in the order named. They
lost ail. Seven of ,the houses were
owned by Mr. Thereat; Patch, one by
Mrti Ferguson,ne by fdrehlulloo, and
theothers by Mr. James McCabe.
!be families who suffered by the af
fair are niostof them in indigent circum
stances, and having thus lost their all,
ere left entirely , destitute. Everything
they had was lost and in many cases they
were without any clothing, and without
the means of procuring a meal. Through
the kindness of neighboets they werefur.
Dished with temporary shelter, but some
-other means should be provided to relieve
their necessities. There is a work for the
benevolent and charitable here which we
hope will be improved. Donations of
money, clothing. provision& etc., if left
at the Mayors office will be distributed
carefully and be thankfully received.
It has been said that some malicious
parties purposely obstructed the sewer,
and in order that they may be detected,
Mr. David
Steen. proprietor of the coal
Yard. in the vicinity, offteeareward of
two hundred dollars for their arrest and
conviotion.

Fara Note*.
A few days since, in noticingthe move
ment toward the erection of a pionttrufnt,
in honor of Humboldt, in the Allegheny
Park, we suggested that the niemoryof .
Burns might be honored very appropri
ately by a similar testimonial. Since
then we are pleased to note : that the sag
gestion has been favorably received by
the admirers of the poet, who are about
to inaugurate a movement in that direc
tion. The affair as yet has hardly as
mimed a definite shape, but judging from
the character of those having it under
consideration, there is little doubt but
that the monument ere long will orns.
ment some section of the Park.
The Commission contemplate the com
pletion, in a short time, of a carriage
way from the foot to the summit of Sem
inary Hill, as proposed in the plan of the
improvement. They will do this tn ad
•vance af the other work, in order that
citizsms who so desire may have the ben
efit these summer days and evenings of
the magnificent view from the hill top.
without the fatigue and trouble in ascend
ing on loot, as the case now is.
A few days since a number of seats of
a new pattern and specially adapted for
the purpose, were ordered from Boston
for the Park. They will be placed at
convenient •dietances along the main
avenues and under the shade (to be) of
the trees, so as to afford every comfort to
the tired promenaders.
It has-been,observed that, the smoke
issuing from the locomotives of the Pitts.
burgh, Fort Wayne. and Chicago and
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railways, de
posits soot upon the lake and the tries
along the line of the track through the
Park. When the flowers are planted
ibis. of course, will be much more ob
servable and tend to destroy their fra
grance and beauty. To obviate this
