Fall of Rain Extraordinary.

In the country north of Baltimore the
storm was terrific and the fall OF rain ex-
traordinary. the people being panic-stricken
for several hours and many fleeing for their
lives. The suburban towns of Mount Wash
ington. Lutherville. Cockeysvlle, Melvale
and other points were hemmed in until an
early hour this morning, but SO far no re-
port of the loss of life has been received.
The intervening farm lands were mum
dated, and everywhere were swept away
fences and small buildings along the falls
from Mount Washington to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad bridge. Scores Of small
farmers were compelled to abandon their
houses and flee for their lives in some in
stances their homes, furniture, cattle and
wagons being carried away in the flood.
No accurate estimate of the losses in the
county can now be made, but the aggregate
will be large.
Some apprehension was felt as to the
safety of the railroad bridges near Balti
more, but all these have been found to be
secure, and the trains on all the roads went
out on schedule time today.
