very heavy rain fell here on Monday night
last causing Lewis Greek, which runs through
this place, to overflow its banks and considerable
damage thereby to the gardens and property adj
jacent
The heavy slone-wall, near the c. & O. r. r.
Depot, and Westof Baker Il Bros toppled
over for distance of about 30 feet, by the water
seeping under the foundation.
The Railroad bridge over Smoky Row Creek
about ST. miles west of Stanton, was broken
loose at one end and swung around in the stream
thereby obstructing the passage of trains. The
mail train was caught on the western side of the
bridge, and consequently no train left here for
Richmond on Tuesday.
We have heard of number of sli ght injuries
to property from the heavy fall of rain-the
heaviest we ever remember to have witnessed in
the same length of time.
