Heavy Precipitation.

Yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock Waxahachie was visited by q
heavy rain The downpour continu.
ed several minutes and was quite
terrific. The cutters were filled tc
Overlooking and for awhile a shee,
OF water covered the streets. The
rain was accompanied by light
wind which was not OF sufficient
force to cause and damage.
During the hardest of the rain
the residence of C>D. Longserre, To-
cal manager of the Southwestern
Telephone company, was struck by
lightning. Mrs. Longserre and little
daughter were slightly summed by
the shock, but sustained no serious
injury. The lightning struck post

the kitchen and bed room. Splin-
ters were scattered around the
rooms in a promiscuous manner, but
the building was not badly damaged.
The telephone in the house was put
out of commission by the electric
fluid.
The rain last night was accompa-
MED by vivid and severe electrical
display. Considerable hail fell with
the rain. A small shed belonging
to Mr. Bedford on Water street was
blown down Ed Williams windmill

that the rain was heavy over the
whole of the county. The hail was
quite terrific in some sections of
the county, but was probably heav-
lest in the Alma country, whhere
crops were badly damaged The
greatest damage around Waxaha-
chic seems to have ben sustained by
the young cotton, the fields being
badly washed. Several farmers have
reported that it will be necessary to
replant their entire crops of cotton
