HAGERSToWN, October 30.-The
heavy rains the past two days have
done great damage through the
Shenandoah Valley and along the
Upper Potomac. Several extensive
land-slides and washouts are re.
ported on the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, in the nelghborhood of
Buckannon and Loeb Laird, Va,
and a great deal of the trestle-work
along that road is also reported to
have been wrecked by the storm.
The wires are down, and it is impos-
sible at present to gain any accurate
information of the damage. No
trains have arrived here by that road
since yesterday afternoon, and none
have gone out to day except one ac-
commodation to Berryville, Va. 1t
has been telephoned here from the
Potomac that the river has risen ten
feet since this morning, and that it
is rising, and that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad bridge across the
the mouth of the Big Ripon rlver,
West Virginia, has been swept away
by the food.
