The Recent Rainfall in Texas the Heaviest Ever Known.
Specials from all portions of the state indicate that the recent rainfall was one of the heaviest ever known in Texas. The belt covered extends from Red River to the gulf, over five hundred miles north and south, and from the Louisiana and Arkansas line westward 250 miles. The damage to agricultural interests is very great, and the railroads of a most serious character. It is thought that 130 miles of the Houston & Texas Central track is under water. All lines report many losses of bridges and culverts. It will be days before travel is possible, and weeks before all damaged tracks are repaired.
