WITH HEAVY RAINS.
Extensive Damage Reported in the
Omagh, LisnamalIard and Camp
sic Districts.
Sheep and Cattle Lost at Newtown-
stewart and Many Crops De-
stroyed at Limavady.

Serious damage has been caused in
Omagh and district by floods in con-
sequence of the heavy rains on Mon
day night. Rain fell heavily and a
party of gipsies who had encamped in
the flax market were amazed on awak-
ening yesterday morning to find that
they were surrounded by water, and
totally cut off from communication
from the main thoroughfares. Their
shouts for help attracted crowd, and
after some time traction engine was
requisitioned, and the caravan in
which they resided was hauled on to
the main street Lisnamallard dis
trict was completely inundated, and
the roads in that district, so far as
pedestrians we're concerned, quite i'm
passable.
A store belonging to Messrs. Ander-
son Bros, in Market street, was flood
ed, and a large quantity of goods to-
tally destroyed. The flax market,
where the horse fair is usually held,
was covered with water to a depth, of
eight or nine feet, and as result of
this the horse fair was held on the
street. In districts of Campsie the
floods penetrated to the doors of sew
eral dwelling-houses. Rain still con-
tinues to fall heavily, and the floods
are rising rapidly.

Heavy rain on Monday night brought
tremendous flooding in the Strule and
Mourne rivers in the vicinity of New

in size to Tuesday mornings deluge
was the flood of January IS, 1909,
when the rivers rose to a height be-
yond all record. The extensive homes
in the vicinity of Newtownstefart suf-
fered severely. In many cases corn
stacks were undermined where the
water reached eight feet deep. The
field below the Mayors Wall' was
entirely inundated, but, fortunately,
the cattle grazing there swan to a
point from which they could be easily
rescued. At a. M, the torrent was
at it's height, and, overfowing its
banks below the new railway bridge,
swept over Mr.. Vaughan's home to-
