Considerable Importance is attached
to the report from Texas that there a

critics. There have been rumors for
some time that changes in the man

that the Rock Island system was TO add
this as a southwestern extension is re-
garded in some quarters as extremely
plausible.
There was current report that the
stockholders of the Mexican Central

made last year. The reports Of the
company show that there has been
large increase in the gross earnings,
which however. did not seem TO re-

STORM WAS HEAVY.
Terrific Downpour Of Rain in This
Section Monday Evening.

The storm which passed over Mar
tinsburg Monday evening was the
heaviest that has visited this section
this season. The rain began to tall
about O'Clock, and for more than an
hour the downpour was verv heavv
and continuous. In several sections
of the city the streets resembled min
nature lakes. the sidewalks and
thoroughfares being covered to a depth
of several inches. At other points the
water damaged the sidewalks badly,
an in many cases the earth from the
streets was washed from the cutters
and streets and deposited upon the
sidewalks to a depth of two or three
inches. Very little wind accompanied
the rain, and the streets about the
town escaped with only nominal dam
age.
The electrical display throughout
was exceptionally severe. each flash
Of lightning being swiftly followed by
q terrible crash OF thunder, each deto-
nation seeming heavier than the pre-
ceding one. The thunder rolled and
reverherated over this section in a
manner that carried terror into many
homes. and the more timid experienced
n feeling Of relief when the storm
finally passed.
A number of cellars in different parts
of town were flooded. the cutters be.
ing unable to carry off the water,
which was backed over the sidewalks
and yards and into the cellars Con-
siderable damage was done in this
direction, and property owners have
been busy all day pumping the mud
and water from their premises.
The water in the city mains today
resembles that which flows through a
brick ward. it being of a deep yellow
color and almost thick enough to cut.
The tracks along the quarry branch
were flooded foot deep for con-
siderable distance, and traffic on that
uart of the road was at standstill for
some time after the storm bad passed.
The damage to the tracks was not
great.
Reports from different sections of
the county indicate that the storm
was especially severe in the southern
portion, but that the northern and
eastern parts were visited nv only
light rains,s accompanied by some
wind, which did no damage.
In those portions of the county COW
cred by the storm, however, some
damage to the growing corn is report
ed. Fences and roadways were also
damaged, but not to any great extent.
Lightning struck trees and poles at
different points, but no report bv cleo
tricity to barns or houses has reached
this city.
