Buffalo, N. Y. (Special). A terrific rain and wind storm swept over Western JJiw York. Rivers and creeks ruse rapidly, overflowing their banks and weeping away houses and barns and live stock. The loss will reach into of thousands of dollars. Telegraph and telephone wires are down, nd communication with small towns in Wyoming, Niagara and C.ittaraueits counties is difficult to establish. This city was not in the path of the storm. A dispatch from Arcade says the flood art that place claimed one victim and did many thousand dollars' damage to property. Minnie Loper, who kept a bakery on the bank of the creek, was drowned early in the day. The downpour and the cloudburst above the village turned the creek into a torrent. The water rose rapidly and was several feet xleep on the lowlands before anyone realized the danger. Miss Lopcr's was swept out into the stream, but h had not gone far before it fell apart. Miss Loper's body was recovered. There were many narrow escapes. At Yorkshire, two miles below Arcade, the approaches to the bridge were washed way, but the bridge is standing. Miles of roadway are so gullied cr buried in debris that they will have to be rebuilt. At Sandusky. a few miles from Arcade, it is reported that two houses were washed wway. From everywhere come reports cf live stock killed. The loss to individuals will be very high, and the loss to the town from the destruction of bridges and roadbeds will also be high.
