FLOODS IN INDIA.
CALCUTTA, Sept. 22.
Abnormal rainfall—22 inches in three days— is causing flood conditions in Central and Eastern India. Bridges on the mail line from Calcutta to Bombay have been washed away and the line has been breached in many places. Large tracts of country are under water. Booking for all traffic has been stopped. The peasantry iu Orissa ara in a pitiable state, owing to their crops having been ruined by
flood water.
