der, The fearful flashing OF lightning,

lets-all added terror 10 the hearts aud
swiitness TO the feet. Everyone was
drenched 10 the skin before shelter was
reached feeling Of suffocation came
10 many, whose terror increased as
awful darkness oyerspread the sky.
Never had such a downpour been
witnessed. Many thought ofthe Judg-
ment Day as the blackness Of the sky;
the flashing lightning, the dreadful
thunders, and the bursting clouds
made "A scene that looked like the final
dissolution Of nature. In our yard
was barrel, formerly used 10 hold

out in the sun, leaked a good deal. In
fact there were large openings between
the barrel slaves. When the rain ceas-

minutes, we went out to see what dam

ed 10 see the barrel, nearly full Of wa

water had leaked through the creyices,
and so il will never be known how
many feet Of rain fell in that short
time. The water measured three feet,
eleven inches. At least two feet Of
water must have leaked through the
slaves. We called in several friends
and showed them the water. We
could not understand how the slaves
had so suddenly gotten close enough
together TO hold water until one Of the
visitors, Of a scientific turn ofmind, de-
clared that after the barrel had let at

GREATEsT RAINFALL KNOWN

That rainfall at Guinea, Virginia, OF
T. inches in 30 minutes, seems to have
been eclipsed by a rainfall in Minneso-
Ia.
a gentleman now living at Dublin,
Va, writes a letter to the Times-Dis-
patch i'm which he says that he wit
messed a rainfall near Brownsville,
Minnesota, i'm the EOS that makes the
rain at Guinea look like "a sprinkle.
He says that there was a rainfall of
two feet i'm five minutes There was
nodoubt about it because an empty
barrel i'm the yard had two feet of
water i'm it when the rain stopped at
the expiration Of the five minutes He
admits, however, that the time may
not be accurate.
The area Of the downpour, he says,
was very small-about a half mile
square and the country was COM
paratively level. Just below where it
fell there was fiji on the railroad sew
eral hundred feet long, fourteen feet
high, and drained 10y culyert eight
10y six feet. This is a prairie country
comparatively level" a train came
along just as the water washed away
the fin. the train was wrecked, and the
engineer, with both legs and one arm
broken, swan out Of the raging tor
rent. To clinch the truthfulness Of
these statements, the writer i'm the |
lmes-Dispatch states that he was at
the time correspondent Of the ST. |
Paul Pioneer Press and carefully |
gathered and reported the facts.
Far be it from US to question the
statement of any man who has ever
done newspaper work. The yeracity
of the quill driver is never TO be ques-
toned And, although we have never
met this writer, we accept his state
ments as accurate m every respect.
We admire his nerve in relating the
incident as much as we do the nerve
ofthc engineer, who, with both legs
and one arm broken, swan out Of the
raging torrent, defied the doctors, and
continued at the post Of duty.
We are the better prepared to be-
Iieye the incident related by the form
en- correspondent Of the ST. Paul paper,
because we once witnessed rainfall
that was unique in our experience and
observation. We have never brought
t TO the attention Of the public be-
cause we had supposed that both our
experience and our observation were
limited.
