and Inundating Streets Newmarket- April i7Newmarket and district was the centreof this afternoon It Was paoiedby an exceptionally heavy display and fori almost an hour the town was by tons of water which fell without cessation broke over the town and district shortly before oclock and from then on hail sleet and rain fell with persistency Before the rainfall abated Ihe waters had risen in some places to- a height of over 3 feet flooding cellars and in undating the lowlying secUonsof the town The flobcTwas in southern section of Main and Eagle streets Both thoroughfares run through the lowlying district of the town and they were submerged by the deluge for some hours Much damage was this section of the town as practically every cellar was completely filled with water while the streets were badly under mined by the flood which swept along the roads with a force of a torrent Besides the loss sustained by the residence through the flooding of cellars wndows were broken by the large hailstones In the Immediate liMrict the storm also created Reports from King Township state that several of the smaller bridges were swept away and In Whitchurch and Hast bury Townships a number of culverts were washed away leaving the roads in an impassable condition While the lightning was exceptionally severe no reports received of barns or houses being struck The damage resulting from the bridges and cul verts being washed away Is large and will mean a big monetary loss to the various townships affected This evening it was stated that ar rangements arc being made to have large gangs men start work to morrow morning to repair the damage done by the storm Is believed however that it will take fully a week to replace the various bridges and culverts washed away A peculiar feature of Hie storm is that it centered practically over New market and the immediate vicinity Aurora while experiencing a mild thunderstorm reported no damage and in four miles south no rain fell at all The storm did not come without warning however and for over half an hour he residents witnessed an unusually heavy electri cal display without any rain falling According to the residents Of the rural In
