The City Visited by o Heavy Electrio Storm and Disastrous Flood, MISSOURI VALLEY MEDICS IN COUNCIL. Interesting Sessions Held Yestorilay ~The Day's Proceedings in the Scottish Rite Conclave— Minor Mention. ‘onncil Bluffs was treated to the experi- enceof a regular June thunder storm and cloud burst yesterday, which accomplished about as much damage in the city as any storm during the year, It began to nin shortly after 9o'clock in the morning and maintained a gentle little autumn sprinkle until about 11:30, when tho heavens opened anda perfect deluge descended, The sewer- age system speedily demonsteated its inefi- ciency again, and ina few minutes the strects © rivers, spreading over the sidewalks und mvading the cellars. The merchants on Upper Broadway who have suffered so mu every time a heavy rainstorm has oc were soon industriously engaged in a gall figght to keep back the water that was invad- ing their stores and cellars, Two distinct storms occurred. The first filled the sewers andthe strects, and before the water could run away the other deluge came. The water in the streets resembled rushing rivers, and the muddy waves were carrying on their crests all sorts of debris, Before the second storm was half over paving blocks began to pour down Broadway, and the sup- position was that the cedar block pavingon some of the upper streets was again washed out. The last storm continued for thirty minutes, and when it was over the people turned out to discover the damage that had beendone, There was y a breathof wind with the storm, but the electric energy developed v and it was feared that a great deal of damage was done, Ihe chief part of the damage was confined to the new streets in the eastern and north- castern parts of the city, which were badly washed out and cut up. The spectacle pre- sentea by the flood coming down South First street was magnificent, The debris of the old Methodist church was piled up on the corner of Firstaud Broadway and occupled about half of the arca. This confined the flood to narrower limts than usual where it empties on Broadway and greatly accelerated its force. When at its height it was two foet deep, and vwhen it encountered the big bric pilesit was hurled intothe airin gigantic muddy waves five or six feet high. The brick” pile ~melted down under its sault like sand, and the brick and mortar washed down in immense quanti- ties below the Ogden house, covering the pavement and the street-car tracks tothe depth of a foot. The murky tide poured over the sidewalk and filled the cellars and cov- the floots of Kelley & Younkerman's v store and oll the other establi ments on_the north side of the street as down as North Second street, In some of the stores it left a flood of mudseveral inches deep. Two or three small wooden buildings between Firststreetand the Ogden house had their foundations seriously washed out andthe brick pavement in front carried away. The cedar blocks that poured down Broad- way came from Park avenueand what was red to be a general washout of the pave- ment proved to be only the private driveway leading from the strect to the residence of Li. W. Tulieys. The only damage to pavements occurred on Franklin avenue, where several blocks of paving laid last year were washed away. ' new brick paving being laid by Contractor Moore was also badly damaged by being un- dermined on the sides occasioned by the flood washing out the parking and the curbing. Thousands of paving bricks were carried down and distributed along Bast Pierce street, covering the motor tracks and making it impossible to run trains around the loop eral hours. Some serious damage was done to residence property on Franklin and Lincoln avenies and on East Pierce street. The residence of E. Stockert of the carpet company, at Sast Pierce, was flooaed to the depth of sev- eral feet, and much of his furniture ana pets down stairs ruied. He estimate damay #200. Last spring he had the same experience, and had several fine carpets destroyed by mud and water. The residences of Norman Green and Mr. Matthias, near were damaged by the flood of mud and that poured through, Bad washouts nrred on Lincoln and Franklin avenues that will cost the city con- siderable to fill, Alarzs part of the grade on Benton street, to which the property have been objecting, was transferred from the street to the creek, The south approach to' the Benton street bridge was also carried i The cellar under J. D. Crockwell's book stow on Broadway was filled and some dam- agedone to geods stored there, Tere was' but little da bottems, but some families living in little houses situated on low and unfilled lots in the south and western part of the city, were compelled to move suddenly. An exciting episode ghat ending in a fatality, occurred ata litt on the corner of IXleventh avenue and strect. It is numbered 249, and is sitnated on an untilled lot north of the *'Q" depot. The top of the windows fronting north come just to the top of the grade. In the litlle two- roomed shanty lived Mrs, Thomas Kelly and a brood of half a dezon children, twoof whom were too young to walk. The water poured in and filied the immense basin in a few sed onds, and before the wouan could get out her house was filled with the chilling flood. The older children succeeded in reaching high ground by wading out throughthe door which the mother held open, but before she could get out herself with the two young children in her arms, the door was forced shut by the water and held tightly closed by some of the furniture in the room floating against it. The woman tried to get through the windows and the back door, but was not able to do so. The children had by this time succeeded in attracting tho atten- tion of neighbors and several men came to the rescue of the imperiled mother, When they forced their way into the housethe woman was standing in water up to her shoulders, holding aloft her twolittle cherubs. She was nearly exhausted when rescued, and could not have been able to have saved herself and her children, On Seventh avenue another family by the name of Cleveland were compelled to v their little home and leave it to the me: the turbid flood. The lightning played somo pranks that made it interesting for those near by, A large tree on Mills street was struck just as A.B. Crosby, an employe of the Adums eXpIOSS. company. was ng. He was knocked down and stunned, but not seriously hurt. The current fromthe batteries in the clouds ran into the stove of M. P, Ellis, in the opera house, and lighted all the incandescont lights fora few seconds, and then retived leaving sulphurous odor behind. Mrs. Dr. Bellin had some interisting experience, The light- ning came into her residence on the telephone line,and then jumped to the electric bell that connects the residence with the office, It severely shocked the lady and stunned the servant girl who was in the kitchen. The whole room was filled with a brilliant blue flame. Both the Western Union and Postal Union sufferea the loss of their switch boards. The Northwestern railway company saved their bridges over Indian ereek by running outn number of heavily loaded cars upon them. The ereek was out of its banks and spread out over the bottoms without doing any damage, The electric motor cars were prevented ran- ning for several hours, When the storm commenced the roof over the power house was nearly all off for repairs. Corrugated iron roofing was hastily placed over the ma- chinery, but the dynamos could not be run on account of the danger of burning out by get- ting wet, They were shut down and covered up until the storm was over. It alsorequired somo time and a large force of men to remove the bricks and mud from the tracks inthe upper end of the city, i Medics in Meeting.

Loxnox, Sept. 18.—Up to this evening no definite information has reached here of the specific utterances of Dillon und O'Brien for which they were arvested. It is supposed, however, that the ostensible grounds for O'Brien’s arrest are @ speech he made last Sunday at Schull. Speaking of the failure of the potato crop and the gloomy outlook, he snid the tenants should mect and consult as to what proportion of rent they could pay and abide by thatdecision. If ‘the tenants would absolutely refuse topay a penny of rent until every” fumily that tilled” the soil was placed beyond the reach of starvation, than if the government evictud the starving people it would be swept out of existence by atorrent of English indignation, and the whole civilized world would send money and Michael Davitt takes a hopeful view of the situation and says the effect will be fa- vorable to the cause.
