AsHEvILLE, N. c., June 1O.-A water.
spout burst over Marshall Yesterday
afternoon, and the most terrific rain fell
upon the surrounding country that has
been witnessed within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. Houses fell before
the advancing food, cattle were swept
away and drowned, and the crops through
out the region roundabout were de-
stroyed. A puny stream known as Rigby
run, ordinarily three or four feet wide,
became a raging river, overlooking its
banks and sweeping away everything
movable that came within its reach. For
tunately, no loss of life is reported.
One of the most exciting incidents OF
the storm was the narrow escape of a
train filed with passengers. Two or
three small breaks in the track had oc-
Cured before the train reached Ashe-
vile, but by proceeding cautiously they
had been passed in safety. At Asheville
your correspondent boarded the train.
1t was then just six O'Clock and
the rain was pouring down in torrents.
Progress was slow, the engineer narrow
ly scanning every foot of the track ahead
before trusting the train to it. Just be-
fore reaching Marshall, however, part
of the track slipped away almost in front
of the advancing train. The brakes were
applied, and the train came to a stand
still just i'll time.
A consultation by the train officers was
held, and it was decided to return to the
last sta ton. Here, however, fresh
difficulty arose. A mountain stream
which five minutes before the train had
crossed in safety, was now raging tor
rent piling driftwood, trees, house tim
bers and huge boulders upon the track in
hopeless confusion.
The road bed was on the margin OF
the river, the turnpike road being on the
other side, the mountain rising behind it.
On the river side the embankment was
rapidly crumbling away and the train
officials and passengers fled in cOnsterna-
ton. Already the track was covered,
and the water was rising at the rate of
six inches minute. Heavy logs were
thrown crashing against the sides of the
cars threatening to push them from the
track.
Volunteers were called for and there
was generous response, all hands doing
their best to clear away the distractions.
This done, the engineer, Mr.. Clark,
bravely drove the train through the wa
tiers, over track that was actually melt
ing away, to place of safety.
Captain Murphy, the conductor, said
afterward that he had never spent such a
moment of danger in all his years of rail.

THE CROPS.

crease of one-sixth of last years breadth
! in Dakota; decrease in Nebraska, and

years unsatisfactory fax product in
Southern Dakota. The effect of low
| prices of wheat has been counteracted by
| superior rate of yield of recent years.
The condition of spring wheat averages

| Nebraska, 81; Dakota, 80; Washington,

Winter wheat is not quite so promis-
ing as on the 1st of May. 4 slight de-
cline in condition is reported in the West,
and the low condition of the Southern
crop is still more reduced. 1t is still
producing States.
Rye has also declined from general
average of 95.7 to 94.4 during the last
month.
The barley acreage has been increased
8 per cent, and the condition averages
10O-last year, in June, 80.
The large acreage of oats in 1885 has
not been extensively increased. 1t has
been slightly reduced in Kentucky and
Ohio, where the area was abnormal last
year. The increase will approach half a
million acres. The condition averages
nearly SO, against "a in 1885, and SO in
1884. 1t is the highest east of the Allie
ghenies, and a little below full condition
in the South and West.
The tendency to increase the area of
cotton has been checked in the Eastern
States of the cotton belt. The returns
show slight reduction in South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Alabama. The more
Western States, i'll which settlement and
farm extension has been active, exhibit
some increase, mainly in Texas. The net
increase is about 100000 acres, an adj
vance of l 3-8 per cent. The condition of
the crop is lower than in 1885, averaging
1871, against 80 last year. 1t is lower in
