Prrrenund, Pa., July 27.—As I prodicted in ray diepatoh this morning, the sccne presented by tho flood was & terriblo one. Tho dovastalion is completo and foarful, and oxtends soveral miles either way, north and south, At 8 o'clock lnst ovoning the storm suddenly broke with o fury barring description, The drops of ‘rain were the sizo of goblets, and, as tho vivid light ning lit tho scono, thoy would present the ap- pearance of diamonda glistening, Tho thunder wa doafening and incessant. It scomod ns though the artitlery: of heaven -had been lot loose, The sky during " tho storm bore 8 lurid color, as charged thoroughly with electricity. No one bolieved or thought what sad havoo this storm was doing, what do- vastation and rain it was causing, or the life 1t was taking, Tho rain extonded over a Iarge sec- tion of country, and did vast damage everywhore within its route. Pitteburg sffored both in loss of property and life, but Allegheny City- was decply, worge, aud for more hoavily afilicted. Every one know the calamity was gréat, but no one was propared for . ¥ . TIE CENES OF HORTOR to which ‘thoy were witnesses to-day. All day the uudertakers’ wagons have been cartivg the dead bodios, and tho funcrals woro taking place all day, Coroner McCellin gavo up holdg inqueats at 4 o'clock this morning, a8 the.work was gotting too much for him., Frantic mothers wore crying for their children, snd equally anxious children looking for their parents. ‘Willing hands there wore found to soarch the debris for bodies, and as they wero brouglit to light crowds would gather around looking for some relation or dear friond. As the body was rocognlzed, some one would hnve it taken and properly cared for. There was no business done to-day; all was turmoil and excitoment. TOE PONTION SWEFT BY THE ¥LOOD IN ALLEGUENY oty wag thickly sottled, mostly by Gorman famihies, and was io the Spring Garden Ruu and Butch- ors’ Rua district, In Pitteburg tho Baw-Mill Tun alstrict suffered worst, Tho following taken from the COhronicle will give an idea of the ox~ tont of thoe flood aud the damage dooe as well ag Joes ot lito ‘¢ In Temperancevillo and the region of .Baw-~ Mill Run, tho elements made ead havoe in tho uncontrollable fury of the storm and flood, The fiorco torrents of rain that descended in the evening awellod every little tribuur{ to Baw- Mill Run nto a boiling stream, and tho sggro- ate scoumulation of water rushed with mad and Irrosiatible fury down tho valley,swoeping every- thing botore it. TUE TRACK O¥ TIE DESIRUCTIVE ¥LOOD is thia_morning marked by the wrecks of dwel- lioge, bridges, immense heaps of stones, large Eflu of flood-wood, torn and ragged sidos of tho ills whoro tho waters surged aud gnawod into thoelr vory vitals, Among the heaps of rubbish and wrecks that strow tho whole rogion, soven lifoless bodies hnve alroady beon found, and from twenty-Ave to thirty porsons aro missing. Groups of peoplo were standing around disoussing tho “disaster. Others were excitedly passing up and dowa the gireots, whilo still others wero noticed sitting with {istless eyes sud stolid faces brand(n(i‘cvet the destiuc- tion which ono feartul night had. brought of all their duflhlfl possossions. At the foot of Car- son street the collare to the houses on the east side were genorally filled with water, and the occulmntu wore busily ocoupliod until about mid- night saving thoeir property, Che loss, howover, was ipsigmificant iu comparison with the whole~ sale dostruction of property. At the puint where the Main street bridge crossed tho run, TIE WATEL EXPENDED 1T8 FORCE WITH GREAT . YURY. Not only this bridge, but the iron bridge = short distance above, was swopt away, and hurd- ly a vestige ramaine, Tho manuer i which the ivon bridge was torn to ploces was alnost mar- velous, One portion of it was carricd down the stream for porhaps 500 yards, snd flung bigh up on the bauk; another ‘porton was buriod be- neath tons of rubbish, only & small portion of 1t rrotmdmg‘ The greater .poition of the hridge, however, has entirely disappeared, Ono of tho solid abutments was washod out, thore remaining only five or tho ijmmenso stones of which It was composod. tones from 2 ta 3 feot iu thiokness by 6 _foat In longth, were torn from the abutment and curricd down tho stream like 80 many pieces of cork, ALL TUE FIVE DRIDGES crosalog Baw-Mill Run were swept away, and lmn]lfi enough remaius of some of thom Lo de~ fine their location, Throe trostlg-works crossin ho stream woro also involved in the goneral destruotion, ‘The Weut Pitteburg gas-works wore injured to quite an oxtent. A portion of tho fouudation wad dostroyod, and tho gasometer presontod a vory domoralizod appoarange, The works woro, howover, fixed up about noon, and thore iu a Embublllly of something of a uupEly of gas oing furnjelod without delny, A stable befong- myg to Mrs. Stacy, contaimng quito & uumber of horses, was struck on one end by the flood and turned about bnif way around, “The stable was filled to quite u depih with wator, but {he horses wore' all found alive after the water subsided, Churles Blmor Jind nutable containity two horses swopt wway i complotely thut 1ot ovou & romnunt of thy foundution was loft, ONE OF THE HORSES URAVED TIE FLOOD, and this mormng returned to the placo where the stable formerly utood, B 4 0. & J.
