TYLER, May 22.-ln the past thirty
six hours we have had here eight
inches of rain fall, the bulk of this fall
ing in two hours last night. All the
railroads here are badly washed, and
no trains moving except work trains.
No mails forthe past forty-eight hours.
Crops are badly damaged, and fences
washed away, leaving the farmers at
the mercy of the stock.
Federal court will probably adjourn
Saturday.
Excursion rates were put on at n
very cheap rate over the Texas & st.
Louis road to the Chicago convention,
and they had. intended to put on a
through train for that purpose, leaving
here on Saturday next. Quite NUM-
Der of tickets have already been sold,
but it is now very doubtful if they get
their road repaired in time.
The weather to-day is partially
cloudy and warm.
