Wilkksbabre, Pa., June 13.- A cloudburst over Nanticoke yesterday afternoon, flooding the streets and cellars, and doing damage estimated at $100,000. Many persons tcok refuge on the roofs of their dwellings. The water rushed into a colliery, paralyzing the miners with fright, the men thinking the bottom of the Susquehanna had fallen out. The flood created a sand bank on the track of the Pennsylvania road, and the telegraph operator had just time to flag an approaching passenger train to prevent a disaster.
