HEAVY RAINS CAUSE DAMAGE.
This district in common with much
of Western Ontario, sustained a con-
siderable amount of damage from the
excessive .rains whichfell from Friday
to Sunday. The great heat wave was
broken. on, Friday last when a thin-•
der and 'ightnin,•g storm brought on a
heavy fall of rain,. This was followed
on Saturday crud .Sunday by eight or
ten_ heavy rains, until by Sunday of ter -
noon !the streets, gardens, fields and
creeks were full of water, not to
mention that many cellars had water
from inches to feet deep, largely ow-
ing tto the fact \that the ev-ater could
not get away last enough in the drains
and ditches.
The 'creek along .Ansi street was Lull
and overflowing, in the gardens and
c,eltars of the peonle along its edge,
broth ieteet and west +af Alain Street.
In many plaices the ,district was like a
chain of smrall (lakes° •
In Exeter north the water came like

North of town and ,west of the Lon-
don road the flow of water wasted out
the gravel under the railway tracks in
three places, to the varying width .of
a, few feet, to lave eor six rods., and
i„epth from a; foot (or two to ten
feet,. It took the raril:way men a conlr-
sijderabia nuniiber of ,hovers to fill it
