At the same hour that the heavy rain fell in this city yesterday, the Blue Ridge mountains ware the sceue of a terrible electrical stoiui and a raiu that approached the wa ter spout or cloud burst sort. The rains filled a little mountaiu creek near the Swannanoa tunnel on the Western North Carolina railroad and it came rushing down between llie bille, WltU nothing to check ita mad glee, ontil it struck a railway culvert and swept everything from under the track. Trains have been transferring there ever since, aud a large force of hands have been at work trying to get everything clear ed np. They will have it all right and train 8 will be ruuniog over the track by night. A terrible electrical storm pasaed over Statesville last night. Rev. B. F. Dixon, who came down from there today says that the storm was the most terrible he has ever wit nessed, the lightnings and thunders striking terror to nearly everybody. The storm at and above Ruther ford too was very severe. The raiu in that section was the heaviest that has been known in many years Broad river 13 fifteen feet high, some thing hitharto unknown, and the steep desceuc ot the stream make its current a terror to every one wanting to cross. The mills and mill dama have all been washed away. The banks of the stream have peen thronged all day with anx ions visitors to see the highwater. The men who came in from At lanta on the early train this mom-, ing say that the Stotm in the sec tion of the B'ue Ridge, traversed by the Air Line road was simply ter rific. At times their train could hardly get along and the waters were so high that they felt their way vejv cautiously to Chailctt So far as the rain and electrical lea tures of the storms in this country are concerned.
