The second fall of rain came unannounced about midnight. There was net a breath of air, nor a Hash of lightning, nor a iieal el thunder. The rain Just poured down In tor rents for half an hour or mere, Heeding the streets and Hushing the sewers, but doing very little damage. Keierta from different parts of the county show that there waa no hall fell, and the to bacco bad thus far escaped Injury.

One of the belts of lightning was believed te have struck In this city, and upon Investigation such was proved te be the case. The house was at Ne.

Tbey were all badly allecked, but net Injured. Tim bouie was considerably damaged. One chimney was knocked entirely oil. The slates were tern from both ends of the reef, but strange te say these In the mlddle were net Injured. The plastering en the ceiling of the balcony waa knocked oil and the walls inside of the beuse were badly cracked. The reef took lire from the lightning, but the llames were quickly extinguished with a bucket of water. It was certainly a narrow escape from death by Mr. Albright and his family, and everybody In that part of the city was startled by the sharp belt and the terrific thunder. About the lime that this heue waa struck street car wss passing out Kast King street near the prison. Jehn Nell, the driver, felt the shock plainly.

Ceatesvllle and vicinity was visited by one of Ibe heaviest storms ever known in that section yesterday atternoen. It seems that something like a water spout burst and rain fell In torrents. The Brandywlne over flowed ita banks, and Main street and the meadows west el the turnpike bridge were covered with water te auch a depth that travel between tbe east aud west wsrds was cut off for several hours. The storm waa ac companied by a high wind aud terrlHe thun der and lightning. Tha breast of the dam en Clark'a run, from wbleh tha basin of the borough water works Is supplied by gravity, waa washed away, and Ibe town la practic ally cut off from a water supply. Fortu nately, there were ten feet et water In tbe baslD, which will furnish a moderate supply for a week or tan days, by wbleh time it la hoped tha break la tha dam may be re paired. Tbe greatest damage by tha storm waa dena te tha Pennsylvania railroad, and It la aald that tba oempany'a leta will be about 140,000. At the Midway or tha Beaemll), just wast of CeateaviUe, Uara la a aaaaU culvert through the ameanKBani en wnwn are tee rauread tracks. The rainfall waa ae heavy that tha culTrtwM tee aawll te carry off tha water, Tha result was that one hundred and twenty ttve feat of the embankment waa swept away and nothing was left but the rails snd ties. A track band named Hoblnsen stepped en a tie whan the spike eaaae out and precipitated hint te tberusblng stream below, a distance of Bfty feet, but ha escaped with alight In juries, Aa seen aa tha accident was discovered trains were flagged ou both sides and thus a terrible accident waa prevented. The effects efthe washout was gK all along the Una el the read In the blocking of trains. The place where the washout occurred Is en the eastern end of Hupsrviser Leng's division, and ha was at enes telegraphed for, together with Master Carpeeter Beard. All the workmen for many miles were ordered te report at enes at Ceatesvllle. A apecla! train was sent down from Conestoga bridge with machinery, lumber, iVA, Immediately after the accident About nlne o'clock another special with a freight engine and Hat ears left Lancaster with Assist ant Supervisor Nelsen and a large force of carpenters, trackmen, and ethers, with tools, lumber, Ac. These were all put le work at once and were busy allblghb Tem porary trestles are being put In, but it is net likely that any train will be able te pass ever the place until late' te night It was aston ishing hew quickly the company went te work te make the repairs caused by the washout, and it was net a half hour after It bad occurred until repairs men were en their way te the- scene. r The delay te the passenger and freight traffic of the read by the washout is very great and the company will be very heavy loser. The last train te past ever the place where the washout occurred was the Harris burg Kxpreas, which arrived In Lancaster at trM last evening. When Day Kxpress came In from the east it was held here for tevS eral hours te await orders. It was found tha" It would lie Imiiemible te past Ceatesvllle for twenty-fours or more,ie orders were sent here rretn Philadelphia that the train should be sent te Columbia and thence by way of the Columbia il Pert Deposit read te Perry vllle, and then te Philadelphia by the Philadelphia, Wilmington .t Balti more read. Thla train and all ethers from the West were sent by that route. The most popular train en the Pennsylvania rail road for Lancaster people returning from Philadelphia is Harrlsburg Kxpresa which leaves the city at 5:W, Lust evening the train had en beard a large number el Lancaster folks and left Philadelphia en time. When they arrived at Ceatesvllle they found it was Impossible te get by the washout The train was therefore sent back te Philadelphia, and the passengers were sent around by Perry vllle and tbe Colombia t Pert Deposit rail road. The folks who left Philadel phia ou that train last evening did net reach Lancaster until 8 o'clock this morning wheu they came In en the regu lar train from Columbia. They were a tired, sick and disgusted let and looked very much the worse for their uncomfortable night All were united in their opinion, however, that they bad gotten mere than the worth el their money In the long ride. As Harrlsburg Ex press and Columbia Accommodation did net arrive from Philadelphia In the evening, the engine of the OJUi train from Harrlsburg took a special passenger from thla city te Col umbia and Yerk. The first train te make a transfer at the washout was News Kx press, which was due here at 0:30 this morning. The newspapers, baggage, Ae, were transferred te a train en thla aide which arrived in 1 .ancestor about 8 o'clock, se that the morning mall was only about an hour and a hair late. All tbe through trains are being sent around by Perry vllle and Columbia and transfers are being make et local trains only. The railroad men de net expuut te bate trains running ever the washout place until te night TRAINS RUNN1NO ON TIIK O.NK TRACK.

When news et the wash out was received here last evening a large number of freight trains were ou tbe cut-off above Ibe city. They were afterwards run aa far as Henk's, and they will likely pass Ceatesvllle this alternoeu. TUB trUKIl i.V IIEUK0. Trains Ualaysil. Items named and Ueusta tlrnvlly flooded. Shamrock, en the Kast i'enu railroad, twenty-eight miles east of Heading, was the scene of a cloud-burst Tuesday afternoon. The rain poured down in a perfect stream for nearly an beur, Heeding tbe streams and fields in every direction and washing away many hundreds et acres or eats which had Just been cut Tbe water poured down se rapidly that the large culvert under tbe rail road west of Shamrock would net permit Its escape and In consequence ever three hun dred feet et the read-bod was washed away. A passenger train had just passed ever and a moment later ilie embankment gave away ahead el the train, but, fortunately, It was stepped iu tluie te proteut its running Inte the eH)iilng. The train is new hemmed In between the breaks. The barn of Joel Ktchart, near Itoyertewn, was destroyed by lightning aud several horses killed. Several ether barns were burned, but owing te interruption of wires it is impossible te get details. At Maeungle, Albuitls and ether points along the Hast Penn railroad, many houses were Heeded and much damage Is reported. It will take tbe railroad company twenty lour hours te repair the damage. Reports received at a late hour Tuesday night show that tbe rain-fall and lightning played havoc along the Perkiomen railroad. A wash out occurred near PeuiiBburg several hundred feet Iu length, which will delay trains until te day. Anether was reported at MacutiKle, en the Kast Penn, making halt a deniu in all. A culvert was tern away near l'ritrtewn, en tbe Heading it Columbia read.

It has maintained with firmness the dig nity of the ofllee of the executive ; has re covered millions et acres of tbe public do main, and protected the humblest settler from the rapacity of grasping corporations, bas revived respect for law, reatered confi dence in our Institutions and brought econ omy and integrity te all the functions of government Already a navy la fast being created In which we may feel Justly proud, and tbe great heart of the country throbs healthfully as we gradually go back te tbe simple and honest methods of the fathers of tbe republic. Section 3 is as follews: That whilst tha Democratic party In Maryland bellevea In an upright and efficient civil service in the ad ministration of government it is nevertheless opposed te a system of life tenure and te a civil pension list, and whilst it upholds the president of tbe United States in efforts te effect an honest and competent civil service, still it believes that the service should be composed of officers and employee who are net antagonistic te tbe suceess of the admlnia admlnia tratlen under which they serve, but are In sympathy with it whose bearta are In their work and who believe that upon the con tinued and Just success of the Democratic party rest tbe safety and security of republl can Institutions and the liberties of tba people.

Whether it will be peace or war in tbe Republican conven tion tbla afternoon ever the question of the Sherman endorsement is what a great many people are anxiously striving te scerta'n.The meat anxious enes are tbe leading candi dates for the miner places en the ticket who fear thst a collision of the Blaine and Sher man forces may lead te a smashing el slates and a general demoralization of their pskt pecta. Amid tbe ma-s et conflicting runxrh aud se-called seml-offleisl statements that are being passed Irem mouth te mouth, but eue thing only stands out aa certain. That is thst tbe Indersement resolution will be pre sented in precisely tbe shape that has bsen outlined irem the start There will be no backdewn en tbe part of the senator and no Jugglingel werda that will give tbe pill a coat of sugar. What bis opponents will de Is purely a matter of speculation. Tbey are, in fact, divided en the policy it la beat te pursue, and as a result or this hesitating atti tude tbe reeling In favor et peace and har meny grows apace. Sherman's friends have conceded te For Fer aker the control el tbe executive and cam palgn committee, and are giving it out that In se doing tbey have taken tbe wind out of the sails of their opponents But tbe latter will net concede aa much. Tbey wanted ti a committee and have get It but some of them, at least, are net inclined te accept It in full satisfaction of a passive attitude en tbe in in eorsement. Three prepositions In relation te tbe matter are under di-ouaalen at neon ; one te tight the endorsement teeth and nail, another te incorporate a resolution in the platform eulogizing Sherman as a statesman and a leader, but making no relerenee te an In In eorsement, and a third te recognize him aa a suitable and available candidate, but net aa Ohie's candidate. Tbe latter preposition finds tbe most supporters In the Blaine camp as tha easiest way out of tbe difficulty, but it is net acceptable te the Sherman peepla Tba latter say that if Sherman gees te tbeCbloage convention it must be an Ohie's candidate rather than atone of the " field " aud that an indersement et bis clsitut as sueh a candi date, even by a majority vote would be mera preferable le blin than a general laudatory resolution which by its non-cemmUal charac ter might be given te half a dozen ether men in Ibe atata and mean just aa mueh or aa little. Bealdea tbla tha Sherman men are both willing and desirous that opposition et the meat pronounced kind having been developed the delegates should go en record by a call of counties la order that tha material thusaeoered may be put te atata the earn- palga la behalf of their eandldsts. At uis writing tbe Blaine people are still In consul tattoo aad, although reports that tha while winged aagal of peace has aettled down npea the aeeae are being sent brwlesat, they are PftrrnBtn'rfi BLAIKB'H VOLLOWaM BBADT FOB THB VBXX The BBtiaalT pahUaatlea la tbe UaHcd Press dispatches laat a Ight of the tact that Henater Sherman would regard a two-thirds or three-quarters vote in hU favor aaantneleat aate Justify him In slngrjerere the oeanwy as tha choice et Ohie la erealtag great oeaMwat thla morning, and If there la trouble im tha convention hla position will be aategenlstd without any mloclngef language by mera than ene of the friends of tha man from Maine. In short, beyond the fact that Sherman la aura of a geed round majority, tha probable attitude of the convention la as mueh a matter of speculation as It was twenty-four hours age. Senater Sherman made a brief speaeh In response te a serenade by the Grant club shortly before neon, but while eulegising Governer Feraker and predicting a great Re publican suaesss in tbe November election, he diplomatically refrained from making any reference te bl own position In what Is really tbe chief Issue of the convention. Governer Feraker, who will arrive this after noon en a special train and proceed direct le tha convention hall, will be the recipient of an organized ovation which will put in the shade that tendered yesterday te the senator. Tba convention will meet at 4 o'clock and whether the Indersement resolutions will be presented te-night or held ever te the morn Ing has net yet been determined, A decidedly het wave reached thla city this morning and as the delegates have been provided with tickets for a trip en tha lake and a visit te the summer resort at Pre que Isle, it is mere then, likely thst they will 'decide fe lay aside all mattera et contention for another day. tBLBPBOBB fUB VBIKA.
