DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
SEVERE MONSOON Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. CALCUTTA, September 2. It is many, years since an Indian monsoon has taken so heavy a toll of death and destructon as that which followed in the wake of this year’s excessively heavy rainfall. Vast stretches of country are under water, and buildings collapsed on all sides, owing to their having been weakened by the flood waters. The death roll was added to yesterday when sixteen persons were hilled by a collapsing veranda in Alwar during a religious ceremony.
