AND IT IS RAIN
 AND MORE RAIN
Trains Are All Late on Account of the Big Flood
 Yesterday

Birmingham experienced another very heavy rain storm yesterday afternoon. The rain began falling about 5:2O o'clock and continued until after o'clock. when a mist took the place of the downpour. It was not as heavy as the shower of the day previous but lasted longer.
 The railroads felt the effect of the storm. All trains entering the city were late. The Southern from Washington, due to arrive at 10 o'clock, was registered one hour and forty minutes late. The Queen and Crescent, Alabama Great Southern special, was marked up two hours late. The Louisville and Nashville train was chalked up two hours and thirty minutes behind time.
 A general inquiry at the office of the train dispatchers brought the answer that the delays were caused by washouts and general bad condition of the tracks brought about by the heavy rains that fell in all parts of the State.
