The rain descended in torrenta for nearly an hour, flooding ibe itreet#, chdking the aewers, and filling many cellars with mud and water. The lainage was confined to Uooded cellars, ind will not be near so large as supposed. Nearly all the cellars on the east side of Market street, between 10th and 14th itreets, contain more or less water, but the owners having had somo experience with 'floods of the kind before, as i general thing hod few goods In exposed situations, and 1j their losses will consequently be light. The lintiRPi nn tbn oniil {<]<> nf Mirkdt itrMt. 'rctween 8th and 9th streets, were pretty well washed out by the angry flood which iweptdown from tho hillside. The water rushed through the doors of several of tho houses, leaving a coating of ugly mud which will bo a source ot trouble to lid/ housewives. The water camo down the hill at the head of 10th street with such force that Urge boulders and other debris were carried down to Market street, and loft lying in a sea of mud. The residence of Mrs. McLain, on Chapline street, was badly flooded with water and mud from 15th street. The water poured Into tho area in torrents, flooding the halls, dining room and kitchen nnd damaging the carpeta 'and furniture. Part of the curbing and pavement in front of Mrs. Stout's residence, just above, on lotto street,, were carried away. Tlio water poured into the basement at the corner of 14th and Market streets, occupied by Joseph Tonini as a paint shop, so filet that Mm. Tonini. who was in the shop, waa obliged to make her exit through a window. The only damage unstained by Mr. Tonini will b* the dirt and debris left in hi* shop by the flood. The first story of a small frame dwelling house at the west end of the old Zane street bridge was tlooded, and the families residing in it were compelled to move their household goods up stairs. The storm was evidently not so severe in the southern as in the ceutrnl part of thecity.^ Caldwell's Run flowed toward the Ohio as serenely as usual, and the effects of the rain fall were scarcely discernable in the Eighth Ward, except whero hero nnd there a choked sewer had Hooded the street and pavement. Chapline street, from 21th to 20th streets, was left in a dilapidated condition, with a foot or more of mud from the hillsides on tho pavements. Over on the Inland we noticed Wabash and York streets doited with huge ponds of water, which interfered to a great extent with pedestrianisrm The filling on the south side of Virginia street was washed away in xuanv places, as might havo been expected from the condition in which it wait left. Street crossings in various parts of the city were submerged, and in many places tho pavement* were entirely covered with water. By 2 o'clock the storm had spent it* force, but rain continued to fall until 0 o'clock in the evening. Bask Ball.? Williamson, the first baseman of the Standards, has been elected Captain of tho nine. The Standards will cross bats with the Indinnapolifl club to-day, and tiie result of the contest will be looked for with great interest by all lovers of the National game. Our' humble opinion is that It is now stated that the Standards will go to Pittsburgh and play the Alleghenies next Monday and Tuesday, and the Alleghenies come down and play return games on Wednesday and Thursday. tieoree Vennuin. the ehnniM> iritclier for the Standard*, arrived yesterday morning. George Vcnnum will pitch for the Standard* in to-day'# game. We clip the following from the" Chicago Times: "Vcnnum, pitcher fur the Peoria?, leaves thin evening for Wheeling, W.Va., where he joins tho Standards, lie is reputed one of the best amateur pitchers in the Went, and Iub departure will prove a serious lo^s to the Peoria nine." The managers of the Standard Club have hecured the services of Wilcox, formerly of the Chelsea^ of Jirooklyn, N, Y. lie will arrive in time to take part in to-morrow's (Saturday) game. Phillins, of the Krie club, will probably Slav with the Standards after the l?t of uly. PittHbnrKh don't "take" very well to our umpire?Bobby McXichol. The Allegheny and Indianapolis clubs did not play yesterday on account of the rain. The grounds on the Fair Grounds are in splendid condition for to-day's game. Commencement Exercises of tiie Seguin Institute.?The commencement exercises of the Spguin Institute were held in tho Opera House last evening before n large audicnce. The house crowded below stairs, and a great many Beats in the gallery were occupied. To attempt to give anything like a criticism of each performance would be a labor from which any one who faced the battery of bright eye* that held the platform might well shrink, for fear of doing injustice and drawing invidious distinction*, which would be distasteful to himself and make those same eyes flash with a fire not altogether inspired by literary emulation; and yet to say all did surpassingly well would likewise be treating unfairly those who deserve especial mention for excellence. The programme is too long to publish in full, although it was arranged with carc and excellently rendered. The Salutatory wan delivered by Miss Emma J. Bowers, ol this city, and the valedictory by Miss E. Leonora Archibald, also of Wheeling. Besides tho usual literary and musical exercises a drama in ono act entitled "Anything for a Change" was presented by the nupils in a very clever manner. The pupils were assisted in the musical exercises by Prof. i4, r an*, i?r. uccar rceeiey, Mr. 11. > aac, jr., and others. J. Ilanson Good, Esq., conferred the diplomat, making noine very happy remarks the while. The exercise* were, as a whole, superior to those of last year. Attempted Uuholary.--About three o'clock yesterday morning a burglar entered the house of Mrs. Griffith on Zane street, Inland, l>y climbing over the top of the portico. Mrs. G. discovered the theif in the act of turning down the lamp which was lighted nnd sitting on the inautlopeice. She immediately raided the alarm which aroused the neighborhood, but beforo any one reached tho premises the burglar had made his escape. Thero was quite an excitement for a time which would have resulted unhealthily for the uutimely visitor hed he been caught.
