RAGING POTOMAC,
Great Inundation in Maryland and De-
struction of Crops.

struction of Crops.
FREDERICK Md, June lst.-The rain
has poured necessarily since Thursday
night. The wheat crop of this country has
been damaged to an extent that cannot
now be estimated, and the early fruit is
destroyed. The Potomac at Point of Rocks
and in that vicinity is rapidly overreaching
its banks and the damage will be great.
AdviceS from Westminster, Md, say the
surrounding lands are inundated and
many of the workmen unable to get TO
there homes.
Between New Winds and Linwood and
between Linwood and the Union
bridge the Western Maryland Rail-
road is coveredwith water to a depth
of three feet by the waters of Little Pipe
creek, and the track is washed away for a
considerable distance and two feet of
water flows over
THE BRIDGE AT HARPER's FERRY,
Which is heavily loaded with locomotives
and cars. The tracks on both sides of the
river are submerged, as they are at Point
of Rocks and st. Johns Run, between
Cumberland and Martinsburg. There are
four small bridges undermined between
Glen Cove and Hyndman. The Cambria
branches leading to Johnstown and the
Salisbury branch are still blocked.
TELEGRAPH STATIONS ABANDONED.
BALTIMORE, June 1st.-The rain in this
vicinity caused damage that it will take
years to repair. A number of washouts on
the Baltimore and Ohio stopped all traffic
except the trains on the Washington
branch. The Potomac is over its banks
and many telegraph stations had to be
abandoned as the water covered the tables.
Many operators were compelled to send
messages standing in the water up to their
waists. Many wharves here are covered
with water. The tide in the basin is the
highest in many Yeas.
HIGH WATER AT CUMBERLAND.
WESTMINSTER (Md.), June 1st. - The
greatest rain experienced in Carroll county
for many years has prevailed since Thurs
day. All the low lands bordering on
streams are submerged. Many narrow
escapes from drowning are reported from
New Windsor to Linwood. The Western
Morgland Railroad is inundated to a depth
of from one to three feet. At Cumberland
nearly 100 families were compelled to
leave their homes by the rapidly rising
water, in wagons and boats. No fatalities
are reported.
