applied, there will be no convictions

will be able to escape on the plea of

A number of cellars were flooded
in the borough last week by the
heavy rain, the gutters and culverts
being clogged could not carry off the
water. Some damage was done, but
on the whole it was inconsiderable.

water rapidly soaks away but of the
flooded cellars, and if the occupants
of such bouses throw open the cellar
windows, and allow the damp air
to escape probably no sickness will
occur from this cause.
