It developed, yesterday from further
poris tnat the rain of Thursday
amounted, almost to a cloudburst
rrom all parts of the city there were
auvuuouai reports ol washouts and
Superintendent of Streets Pickett
said that he would be busy with, the
iorce ior some time to come in repair
ing me a am age done by the heavy
downpour. Visitors to the city from
the country yesterday told of much
damage everywhere. To use the ex
pression of many of these, it was a re
gular "trash mover and gully washer."
It will be wet and damp for many
days to come, v .;
.-The fine macadam road to Castle
Haynes was washed entirely In two at
the.fivemile branch where there is a:
heavy- fill and a four feet culvert un
derneath. Chairman McEachern, of
the- Board of County commissioners;
who was summoned early yesterday to
look after road damage all over the
county, said it would take at least two
days with the convict force to repair
the damage at the five mile branch.
Fortunately there is a turn-out there
and travel will not be seriously ham
pered by the washout. A brick wing
of one of the culverts at Delgadp, on
the Wrightsville turnpike was also
washed out and this will have to be
attended to at once. At Prince George
Creek,, on the Castle Haynes road,
the new bridge recently put in there
with concrete abutments stood the
flood well, demonstrating the wisdom
of the Commissioners in ordering the
reinforced concrete work for other
permanent bridges that are to be built
in the county this year. Although the
creek at Prince George Is the highest
ever known the bridge is standing the
water all right.
On the Masonboro road, just this
side of the Montford place, the bridge
there has been undermined to some
extent but the damage can easiljbe
repaired. A bridge and culvert in a
fill In the Federal-Point road just this
side -of Mr. Louis Home's place was
also washed out.

NINE CARS WRECKED
Eastbbund Local Freight on New
bern Road Dashed Into Wash
out Yesterday
FROM THE HEAVY RAINS
Engineer Eugene Knight Slightly In-
jured-Rolling Stock Demolished
Negro's' Narorw Escape Pas-
sengers Transferred.
Nine cars of an eastbound local
freight train on the Newbern division
of the Atlantic Coast juine were com
pletely demolished in a wreck at the
nine mile post, just this side of Scott's
Hill, yesterday morning about 7
o'clock. The train dashed into a wash
out, at the bottom of a steep grade at
what is known as Sweetwater Branch,
the locomotive and tender passing
over safely with the exception of the
rear wheel of the engine and nine of
about fifteen cars behind telescoping
and piling up in a confused heap along
the track. x The engine and tender
broke loose from the train and ran
on the ties some distance ahead es
caping with comparatively np dam
age. Engineer Eugene Knight, was
thrown against his cab and knocked
Insensible for a short time, but is
thought to be not seriously hurt if
complications do not follow an opera
tion for peritonitis some time ago.
One car stuck in the washout and the
eight following it slid over it in all
sorts of fashion, leaving the trucks
and wheels as If they had been cut
off A wrecking train was sent out
from Wilmington in charge of Mr. J.
A. Fountain, Division Superintendent,
anfl other officials and the tracks were
cleared by last night, passengers on
the train from Newbern being trans
ferred at the wreck and reaching Wil
mington only a couple of hours lat.
The washout was the result of the
very heavy rains the night before. The
train left Wilmington at 5:30 o'clock
yesterday morning in charge of- Con
ductor D. W. George and Engineer
Knight. Reaching the grade leading
which Vthe" washout - occurretl the, . en
gineer shut off his steam and the train
was bowling down, the grade under its
own momentum. At the washout the
tracks were out of line and sunken,
but fortunately the engine went over
all right with the exception of the rear
wheel, broke loose and started to as
cend the grade beyond. The car next
to the engine was a brand new Atlan
tic Coast Despatch and it stuck,in the
culvert, forming a barrier over which
the other cars pitched in confusion.
The five or six cars on the rear of the
train didvnot leave the track. A col
ored brakeman was standing on top of
the last car . which remained on the
track and he was pitched headlong for
wards Into- a deep hole "of water but
escaped unhurt Engineer Knight was
thrown on his side and was . hurt near
the incision made for his recent ope
ration, but he quickly regained himself
and when the engine had been jacked
up on the track again, he took it into
Scoti's Hill and reported the wreck
to headquarters in this city. A pas
senger train and a wrecking -train
were made up immediately and sent
out, the passengers, mail and express
being transferred there and brought
on to the city, arriving at 2 o'clock.
The passengers were congratulating
themselves upon x1feeir arrival that
their train did not reach the washout
first. v - -
. The track was torn up about a hun
dred yards by the wreck and it was
late before the damage was perma
nently repaired. The property loss
in the wreck will be quite large. . Onei
of the cars was loaded with machln-i
ery and wagon trucks for one of the
lumber mills in the Scott's Hill sec
tion; another with guano; another
with hay and grain " and still others
with general merchandise. The new
car ; next to the engine was empty.
The wreck of the : rolling stock was
pretty complete and' it -will probably'
be- burned. - -

The United States- Revenue Cutter
Seminole, Capt. J.' H. Quinan, after a
bard day's work during which ever
five hundred pounds of dynamite were
used, yesterday evening succeeded in Y
blowing up the wreck of . the sunken -schooner
off the Cape Fear bar, es
tablishing her identity, beyond a doubt -as
the Jennie Sweeney,' 574 tons, Capt
Fennimore, of Philadelphia, The Iden
tification was by the name plate of -the
vessel which was' dynamited ' from "
the .stern of the ship and secured by
the cutter crew. There are ;stijl no
tidings of" the crew and nothing was
found .mong the wreckage cast up by :
the explosives to indicate the fate of -those
on board. It is thought now
that all hands were lost. " If they had '
heen taken off by a passing vessel, it
is almost certain that they theywould "
have been landed at some point along
the coast before this time. " ' "- '"
The work of removing the. wreckage .
from the path of navigation by the
cutter yesterday was a difficult task"
and the officers and crew'Vere engag- '
ed manfully from ear'vy yesterday
mornihg until dark last night, in" "ac-"
complishing what has been done. The
obstruction is entirely removed with
the exception of two spars floating by;
some rigging. The cutter . wlll: again
go out to the scene of the wreck to- '
day and remove them, after " which '
she expects to proceed to ; Baltimore
for her annual overhauling. Inquiry :
was-made at Southport last night by "
long, distance telephone message f- to
know if there were-any reports from
along the coast indicating the fate of
the crew but nothing could be learn
ed.
. Yesterday it was stated that there -
was no reason to doubt but : that the
vessel .was the Jennie Sweeney 'from
the papers found by Capt E." H. Ad
kins, 'of the steamer -Nellie B. Dey.l
but now every doubt is- removed by '
the resulf .of the cutter's, operations V
The', Seminole did - fine work, on -this
occasion and Capt" Quinan and his gal
lant crew are to be , congratultted up-
on their work in this particular.
. As stated in -yesterday's, paper the i -Sweeney
sailed from Philadelphia May
29th with a cargo of coal for Mayport
Fla. She was an old vessel having been
built in 1875 andhaving been owned 5
in Philadelphia from which , port, she '
last sailed. She was formerly the bar- v
quentine Jennie Sweeney but was re-
built'.' a few years ago after having '
been partially wrecked off the Florida ,
coast some wrecKage nas Deen taken ,
