At Blackwell, it is said, the river was so deep over the railroad, that trains could not pass. There was a tie-up of trains anyway, caused by a wash-out of a trestle down near Sabula, Iron County, where a cattle train was ditched. It was at first reported that the entire train crew was lost, but later reports are that only one man was drowned, and we have not learned his name. So far we have not heard of any county bridge being washed away, but the roads have suffered from all the streams, not having been graded up to withstand such floods. All farmers along all the streams, have suffered more or less. At Victoira, the creek was past fording, from Sunday noon till Tuesday morning. Judge MADISON got to the county seat by stopping off at Hematite and getting a horse, while Judge DONNELL did not get here till Tuesday.
