A dispatch from Morgantown, N. c.,
June 2S, says: In the western part of
the state terrible floods have prevailed
for two days, doing great damage. All
travel to Asheville and Warm Springs
is suspended, owing to the washing out
of two big trostles and the caving in of
portions of the Western North Carroll
ma railroad. Cotton and tobacco crops
are badly injured, and i'll many instan-
ces whole fields, comprising dozens of
acres, are destroyed. Sheaves of wheat
and oats were carried away by the
swollen rivers. Scores of tourists are
unable to proceed by rail and are quar-
tered at Round Knob and Old Fort.
Lightning struck twice at Converse
yesterday, and at Hickory station shat
tered a house to atoms. The estimate
of the damage is from 1920, 900 to $500,
900. A force of 200 men are at work
repairing the road to Asheville, which
at this season of the year Is one Of the
most important in the south.
Reports from the various parts of
Maryland show that the damage done
by the recent storm is very heavy, AT
Rowlandsvillc the loss is over 800, 900
$4,000 worth of property was carried
away Oh Broad creek. ...
Monday while Il gang of 25 convicts
were at work Plymouth, Eng, one of
them threw large stone at the solitary
warden, which struck the officer in the
head, inficting severe blow. The en-
tire gang then rushed upon the keeper,
but convict named Stevens, who was
serving a life sentence, outstripped the
remainder of the gang, seized the war
denis rife and ammunition and fired
upon tho advancing crowd of outlaws,
six of whoi. seriously wounded.
When the ammunition was exhausted
Stevens dubbed five others with the rife
and when assistance arrived he was
completely exhausted. Details of the
atlair were promptly reported to the
government and Sir William Harcourt,
home secretary, gave orders that Stew
ems should be rewarded and immedia-
tely released from prison.

timated paid about $4,000 admission,
were obliged to go away disappointed.

western Opinions Of Blaine.

The people have triumphed. Blaine
has triumphed, and in the victory of
such a man is to be found the gratifica-
ton of nations tribute to the great
heart, the noble intellect, and the pure,
devoted life of thorough statesman.
Republicanism is born again, under the
leadership of the best exponent of our
national progress, and the first Ameri-
can of his time. Omaha Herald.
Blaine is the man who, as President,
will do more to make this country and
its citizens respected than has ever been
done since the foundation of the gov
ernment. Unless we much mistake his
mettle, with this man at the helm we
shall have no slip-shod, shillyshally,
back-down-and- swallow-insult foreign
policy. We count upon his election as
an event as sure as anything in the flu
ture can be. AS for this coast, every
Pacific State will cast its vote for Blaine
and Logan.-[San Francisco Chronicle.
James G.. Blaine is the Henry Clay of
his age and generation, with the per-
sonal facination and charm of Clay,
with all his fine adaucity, and more
than his political prudence. 1t was an
unwise letter that defeated Clay nearly
forty years ago, and not the power or
malice of his enemies, or the mistakes
of his friends. We are sure of glori-
GUS candidate in Blaine. The more we
hear from him the better, and we are
likely to hear very much. The magnet
ic storm which has ragged in Chicago
for week and broke forth there in
an illumination that, like the Northern
lights, shone over the skies, will over
spread the country from the lakes to
the gulf, and from sea to sea. 1t will
quicken the whole people of the United
States and brighten their public life,
and elect Blaine President, and the
safety and splendor of his administra-
ton will solidify Republicanism at
home and lift the great republic still
higher among the nations of the earth.
