MELTED LIKE SAND.
Houses in Two Mexican Towns Washed Away
 by CIoudburst

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 5-A special to the Chronicle from Piedras Negras, Mex, says that advices have reached there of the almost complete destruction of the towns of Roderiquez and Abastor, situ- ated south of there in the valley of the Salido river. Both places were wiped out of existence by q cloudburst, which occurred in the San Bias mountains, back of the towns. The water rushed down the valley in a tremendous tor rent, sweeping everything before 1t. It covered the ground to a depth of feet and the flood was from six to nine miles wide. The business houses and resi- dences of the two towns were built of adobe and they melted away before the torrent of water like so much sand. The town of Abastor has a population of 1900 people.
 The inhabitants saw the torrent com" ing down the valley in time to make their escape to the adjoining hills. So far as known there were no lives lost in that place, although not more than fifteen houses are left standing. Every house population of 700, was washed away, but no lives were lost. It is feared that there was great destruction of property and life lost farther down the valley, as the portion was thickly settled.
 It is known that all the buildings on the hacienda of Jose Ross were caught in the flood and washed away, the loss of his property amounting to about $20 000

 The same report is made by the other lines of this city, and the prediction is held out that this falls movements will far exceed those of former years.
