ALEXANDRIA. July 3i.-There was a
furious raIn-storm IN this vicinity be-
tween 9 and 10 clock last night. The
water fell in torrents: the thunder was
louder than most people can compare:
the lightning was so vivid and some
| flashes 80 durant that one end of
town could be seen from the other,
as in the daytime. Very little
damage was done however. No re-
ports from the country except Of swol-
| len streams. The Rappahannock Will
give the most trouble, it il feared-so
those coming up the road say. A wash
out occurred up the Midland. but the
officials here are mum on the men
ton Of il. The trains on that road have
been five, four and three hours la.e all
day.
Contrary TO last nights reports, Mr..
| IOOse's child which was drowned
| Wednesday did not recover. When
she was first missed Mr. Loose went TO
the house and called his wife, who had
lust been wondering what made the
dog act so strangely. The animal, a big
shepherd dog, was dripping wet and
acted strangely.
Not far from the house is a pond used |
az a reservoir for watering the garden.
Its banks for about fifteen feet slope iu-
wardly at an angle. and then are dug /
deep with ten or fifteen feet of water /
The child was found down near the end /
Of the slope. There was not drop OF |
water in its lungs. The mouth was /
compressed. and 1t is believed that /
it was frightened TO death. Nobody /
can tell The dog was the only /
witness. The MUSICIAN says the child
died of straDgulatiOn. She was a
bright little girl. Regenia was her
name. and all the neighborhOod viii /
attend poor little Rena S funeral to-
morrow.
