RESULTS OF THE RAIN.
Business Generally Paralized
The Present Condition of the South
 ern Pacific.

The two west bound passenger trainl are now at the washout near Dragon Summit, impatiently awaiting the re pair of the big break there. The repair gangs are doing hard work, cribbing uI the track and are working by relays It is not known just how soon the track will be repaired, but it is expected that the trains will be here tomorrow night
 There are 20 passengers for the east now in town, and they take the delay philosophically.
 Another small washout at Picsoho last night, was quickly repaired.
 No freight will be received for points south of Benson, until further orders.
 Three special freights came in from the west last night, and are now at the station. Among the freight are 40 car loads of cabbages and potatoes, and 4 cars of fruits. The latter will not be sold here, as it is expected the road will be opened tomorrow night. which will be soon enough to allow it to arrive at destination in fair condition.
 The loss to the Southern Pacific by the late floods will aggregate, 1t is esti- mated, about $lOO,OOO.
 It will take 8 month to get the road in as good condition as before.
 A stuffed ostrich attracts consider able attention at the station.
 Traius will not be running regularly before Sunday or Monday.
 Another washout, the third one, oc- cured today at Picscho just after the east bound train had passed there, so that Tucson is hemmed in on both sides.
 Several members of the G. A. R. Post of this city, were compelled to abandon their proposed trip to the convention at Boston on account of the condition of the railroad.

THE COUNTRY IS BEING SLOWLY BAKED
Southern New England Drying UP
and Crops Threatened.
A DoIefuI Account Of the State of
Things Out West.
Boston BEGINNING To Think About
Scarcity of Water.

BosToN, Mass, July 1.-THE present hot,
dry spell has come. by the process of evolu-
ton, to form drought throughout this Sec
tion that will be a very serious matter for
the farmers IL il is not soon checked. The
long absence of rain is already felt at Bos-
toms water supply, and although there is no
present danger of water famine, still it
would be just as well to have few smart
rain storms before the lakes and basins get
much lower.
Lake Cochituate is now at height 132.O0
or two and one-half feet below high water
mark. and nearly a foot lower than last year
at the same time. The four reservoirs on
the Sudbury river are practically at the same
height as they were a year ago, basins Nos.
!, and being nearly full, and basin No. 2
being three and oneh half feet belo " high
water.
The year 1890 has been noted for late
spring yield, the flow which ordinarily
comes about March coming considerably
later, and up to July l the daily average
yield was about that of last year. Mystic
Lake Is at present 10 inches below high wa
ter, and foot lower than at the same time
last year.
The water board people say there is no i'm
mediate cause for anxiety, as there is now
enough water in the Sudbury and Cochituate
basins to supply the city for four months.
There have been no complaints as to the
poor quality. Of the water this year either.
The new basin, No. 5, will probably be COM
pleted In year, and that will give another
big additional supply.
The fact that drought is upon us was al
SO confirmed at the office of the State Board
OF Agriculture. Maine and portions of Yer
mont and New Hampshire have escaped it !;
but southern New England is all drying up
The farmers are complaining loudly, for
while the hay crop has been large and of fine
quality, roots cereals and fruits have suffer-
ed greatly. There has been no rain to speak
of for month, although on account OF the
two previous wet seasons the ponds and riv-
ers are not so low as they would otherwise
be. Corn is becoming seriously affected, and
in some sections is curling-a a sure sign of
very hot weather. Early potatoes have es-
capped damage, but the late crop is sure to
sugar. Rye and oats, which suffered from
rust at the opening of the season, have got
oyer that. but are suffering greatly for want
OF moisture. Fruits are generally in bed
condition, although the Strawberry crop
made good record. The other berries viii
suffer, and apples are reported as dropping
Off the trees and falling to mature, in all d.
rections. The cranberry crop will probably
be all right. There have been no destructive
storms in the state thus far, but one of the
vagaries of the weather was slight frost in

Just following the hot Tuesday. 1t did no

THE ICE CROP.
Not the Gold Mine Which 1t Was at
First Supposed.

GARDINER, July 17.-Ice shipments along
the Kennebec are more extensive this week
than they have been previously this season.
Yesterday there were rs vessels in the river
after cargoes of ice and they were of unusal-
ly large size, averaging 800 tons each, which
would give total carrying capacity of GO, 900
tons. The shipping is now largely from the
houses, the stacks with two or three excep-
tions being cleaned OF t.
The green men are not the only ones who
have dropped money in the ice business this
season: One of the largest speculative con-
Germs in New York recently had many
cargoes of ice arrive at that port. and about
that time the price had fattened out, so that
sales were made at So, SO and $3.50 per ton,
the frozen commodity having cost them
Sc or SS ton. BY this means the company
lost all they had made early in the season.
The men who went into the business and
buili stacks find the ice does not weigh out
as large as anticipated, and in nearly every
case they over estimated the crop which
they harvested. This cuts down the profits
materially and while majority will make
something there is not the bonanza which
dazzled the eyes of the Kennebeckers when
the ice craze was on
