8 THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA., SKlTEMliKll 7, 1880. Fast Travel. We sometimes think thnt tho ligliluitiR trains on our principal railroads are inn at too high spood for safety, but facts have recently come to light which lerve to show that In tho matter of fnst going we are very much behind the English, Thus, eight trains run daily from King's Cross to Qrnntham, 105J miles,' without a stop mid without picking up water, in 1-3 and 128 minutes each. Anothor accomplishes 73 miles In 77 minutes, or about 60.88 miles per hour. Mention is also made of other quick tiaind, nearly all of which throw tho Ameiicnns completely in the shade. Rut this will not long be the case,for our great companies, not content with getting along comfortably and safely at forty miles an hour, are becoming envious of these nimblo-wheeled engines and are putting their energies to work for the purpose of ascertaining whether they too cannot trans port trains at the rate of a mile a minute, for one hncdred miles or more at a single stretch. If this can be aocomplished there will be no lack of riders, for if there is anything on American loves above all others it is to go with lightning speed, veu though every mile of. track lid Jen oVer is fraught with imminent danger. Look out now for trains that will cause the quick moving English locomotives to hide their diminished heads. . Singular Conduct of a Woman.

Richmond, Va., AuguBt 81. This city was visited last night by one of the fiercest storms ever known in this section. For two hours rain fell in torrents, accompan ied by almost incessant 'thunder and light ning. The rush of water in the streets was so great that Shockee creek, in the lower part of the city, was swollen to an angry torrent, which overflowed its banks and flooded the whole vicinity. Many cellars were filled with water, and buildings bordering on the creek inundated. The occupants of the buildings were mostly colored. The flood came upon them so unexpectedly they being awakened by the rush of water into their houses that it was with the greatest difficulty they wero rescued. The scene in the neigborhood of the swollen stieam was terrible. Women acd children were seen at windows hold ing lamps and rcreaming for help. The night was pitch dark, and often cries were heard from points where no one could be seen. Men were wading about in the water trying to save life while they saw their worldly goods swept away.
