WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-An officer Of
the signal service said to-day, relative to
the long continued drought, that during
September, it existed in all sections
east of the Mississippi Valley, and in
Texas; that general rains have fallen
during October, in Tennessee, the Ohio
valley and the lake re ion, but that the
drought has continued inthe middle At
lantic, the south Atlantic and the gulf
states. The little rain that has fallen,
has not been sufncient to do any good to
crops in these sections. At Atlanta,
Georgia, rain has not fallen for over two
months, and it il estimated that the cot
ton crop IN that vicinity will fall short
40 per cent, and that near Shreveport,
Louisiana,it is estimated that the cotton
rep will be only two-thirds ofan average.
In the vicinity OF Petersburg, Virginia,
II has become necessary to close cotton
factories on account Of the scarcity OF
wafer. The officer reports indications
or light rain in this vicinity soon and
says there IS heavy rain storm in tho
lake regions. There has been no rain of

heavy wind blew the sparks half mile
across the river, TO two islands filled
with manufacturing institutions. II
burned everything on the islands, and
struck into the resident part of the town
and swept the buildings from about sew
enty-hyo acres. This was the oldest
part OF the town, and contained beauti-
tul shaded streets with fine
dwellings,. To-day this territory
Is a mass of smouidering ruins. One
hundred and sixty dwellings are burned

very little household goods could be
saved. The fire departments of Water
town, LowVille, Bonneville and Utica
responded 20 the call for help, hat as the
hre would appear in dozen difi'Hren
places sometimes, the streams from the
engines were Of little avail. The yards
were hlled with dry leaves, which were

possible to correctly picture the scenes
yesterday and last night. Strong men

were crying, as they realized that every

safely trusted to look after tho wants Of
the people. There was no one burned

badly burned, including firemen. The
loss will foot up over half million dol

given, but agents say it will not reach a
