Sunday morning between three and four o'clock.the people who live in the immediate viciuity of Spanker's branch, which runs through the ea.t part of town in a southwsterny direction, wore awakened by a condition of aft airs which seemed for the moment to be a second Johnstown flood. The heavy rain, which had been falling during a good part of the night, together with the torrents whi;:h poured down from 2 to : o'clock in the morning, raised the branch until it
spread far beyond its banks, reach
ing a depth of two feet ia several of the houses located on its bank?. Several families were compelled to wade water two or three feet deep before they could rea-h the land. The fright of the women and children, when they got out of bed to find themselves standing in water two feet deep, can only be imagined. Great damage was done by the water to the carpets, furniture, fcc.f in several houses as well as to ihe
bridges, culverts, truck patches fences, fcc. About $20 worth of hogs, that had been impounded by the Marshal were washed awav, besides several others which were drowned
while m their owners premises. The i water covered the entire vard td the !
Ryors spoke factory, carrying .several hundred spokes down the curreni, besides submerging considerable ot the machinery in the factory. Ail the foot bridges were swept away and in many places the side walks were damaged. A lare drift was lodged against the bridge on south Walnut street, darning up the water until it went over the pike, taking out several tVet of the wooden tvuHc
at that place. It is said the water reached this unusual hight because
of the i i j s i i fti ci en t ca aei ty a f th e stone culverts through the streets to carry the water off, Great damage in the way of wash outs is reported from the country, and the farmers along the creeks had a general exchange of rail, water-gates, ifce. The branch which runs through the fair grounds swept away several hogs belonging to the
butchers in town, and also all the fences and fixtures to the slaughter pens. The storm seems to have been general, as the engineer on the 4o 'clock passenger said that they had been in a continuous storm ever since they leSt Chicago.

What might have been a very enous accident occurred on tho
farm of Samuel Wallingford, south of town, Saturday afternoon. Sara. Wallingford, jr., was cutting oats with a self-binder, live horses attached, two in front and Lhree behind. After crossing the field he set the machine in gear, which frightened the horses, and they started to run. Sam. attempted to stop them, when the lines broke and he fell backwards behiud, without injury. A boy by tbe name of Johnston was riding the lead horse, and after going a short distance fell off on the side of the knives, which strange to say, bounced over him without in
jury, further thao a slight cut on the bead. The horses then ran half a
mile, through two fences and to the barn, keeping attach&d to the machine all the time. No injury was done only to the binder, which can be repaired for less than 820. The iadies of the Catholic church will give an ice cream festivahn the court house park on Thursday evening, Aug. Sth.
