 One of the finest rains that ever bless cd fair land fell last night It was of about two hours duration and has the appearance of having been general. For a while it poured in torrents and the l wind blew like 6 little hurricane, but | finally it settled down to good steady | business. This downpour relisns the | fears of many people that the rain crop | was going to be short thIs year. Now | however, all such fears are obvsited.
 The rains last night damaged the rail road between Psntsno and Mescsl, of about nine miles, but Bt noon to-day the work trains operating from either end were but four miles apart, and If DO more serious breaks occurred, through connection will be made some time this evening. Judg- ing from the dark and lowering sky, more rain has fallen ID that direction, and will probably undo much of the re- pairs already made,
 Judge George Wooltolk came up from Psntsno to-day. He reports big flood ia the Cienegs last night, but the water Tss not SO deep by five or six feet as it Tss during the big flood of last year. Mr. 6wsrt, railroad agent at that place, while travelling on velocepede between i'd and new Psutano, was nearly while attempting to cross the i'd track. The bycIcle dumped him in he wster. and although he went under eversl times, he managed 10 hold to the , sils, and SO saved both himself and machine.
 A percsptsble feeling of relief is ex- erienoed by the weary traveller as the sssenger trains passes through St ! oseph, the Mormon settlement between and Winslow, the first green pot of vegetation, of any note, seen west f Albuquerque. The sight of the shim- ,ering cottonwoods the golden wheat !. elds on either side the road. the waving orn and the blooming alfalfa patches, Il make up beautiful panorama agree ble contrssted to the barren, arid desert assed through before reaching Arizo- News.
