HEAVY RAINFALL
OVER BIG BELT
IN EAST TEXAS
TOTAL FALL IN CITY 1.54 INCHES, i
LIGHTNING CAUSES SOME
DAMAGE TO WIRES.
English Help Rebuild France, Wrecked by Huns
San Antonio and practically the whole
of the eastern and southern parts <»f the
State were visited yesterday by another
rainstorm which very effectively put 1111
and in any further possibilities of it
drouth doing any harm this season. The
first intimation that the city hud of the
storm was at about I o'clock yesterday
morning, when a thunderstorm broke. Aft-
er this had spent its fury, and the
heavens had flashed and rumbled, the
downpour lightened somewhat, renewing its
force later.
The total rainfall for the day was 1.JV4
inches, which made the aggregate this
year only .is below the general normal
yearly rainfall. I Hiring the present month
the local Weather I'urea 11 records show
the rainfall has amounted to f».i:> inches,
which is u.19 above the average rainfall
for the month of April.
The rain yesterday forenoon was con-
siderably heavier than during the earlier
part of the day. At one five minute pe
riod .21 inch of rain fell, while in a ten
nnd fifteen-minute period, .Pi and . r»;> inch
respectively were registered.
Locally, the storin was not wholly a
pleasure, for aside from turning the streets
into pools and small torrential streams
the accompanying lightning caused con-
siderable iiM-onvenieii'c. The electric serv
ice the < it.v suffered slight Interruptions,
the result being that ofii.es in the Pru-
dential Building ami the Courthouse can
dies were the chief source of light during
the forenoon. On Denver Heights hist
evening an interruption in lights of fif
teen minutes was caused by lightning
burning down wlr s.
The telephone company was also a suf
ferer, both in local and long distance son 1
ice. Many phones were put out of order
teruporarly while on the long distance lines
the linemen were kept on the jump. The i
lightning caused breaks in ten circuits '
from San Antonio to Austin, while other i
interruptions were experienced between 1
Beeville and Corpus Christ!, as well as b<
tween Victoria and Kdna.
I'he Postal and Mneknv Telegraph Corn
panics had no trouble, but the Western
f-nion made up for the others The burn
ing of a pole at Kelly Field, due to light
nlng, caused the crippling "f three wires,
while another pole which burned at Oreg
ory, on flie San Antonio iV Aransas Pass,
put other wires out of commission. The
lightning struck a cable containing ten
pairs of wires at Seguin, putting but one
of the circuit^ out of use. Further trou-
ble was encountered at Carl, on the In
ternational »V Great Northern, while Hock
port and Aransas Pass had to be served
by telephone from Corpus Christ! while
the trouble was being repaired between
here and there. Lightning also crippled
wires between Spofford and Fagle Pass,
while the office equipment at Laredo and
at, Flntonla also was tied up for a time by
the electrical storm.
On the Kat.v Railroad the dispatchers
reported the storm was heavy at Smithville
and in the Houston district. Dallas, how
ever, had no rain, experiencing a cold
snap. On the Southern Pacific the storm
was reported from Del Rio on the west to
Houston, while on the San Antonio & At
ansas Pass the rainfall was heavy in Ken
edy and Yoakum, and frV>m Houston to
"Waco. Along the San Antonio, Fvalde &
Gulf Railroad there were heavy storms at
1 valde, Mat his. Crystal City, Charlotte,
•Tourdanton, Fowlerton and Carrlzo
Springs. There was also a heavy rainfall
between this city and Pleasanlon.
The reports received by the local Weath-
er Bureau in connection with the cotton
bulletin showed Palestine to have experi
eneed the heaviest, rainfall up to 7 o'clock
yesterday morning, its record being 2.20
inches. Nacogdoches was next with 1.86
inches, while others ranged as follows:
Uvalde, 1.40; Hondo. .02; Beeville, .04;
Kerrvllle, .21; Huntsville, .04: Luling. .M;
Pat Is, .06; W aco, .04 ; Corsicana, .44: Long
view, .04; Alexin, 1,34; Riverside, .34; Tay-
lor, .42; Columbus, .2V
Indications yesterday afternoon and last
night were that the storin would be fol-
lowed by clearing weather today.
