FLOODS IN THE MIDI
FRENCH VINEYARDS DAMAGED.
(United Prees Association.—Copyright.) PARIS. 6th September. Floods, following heavy storms in Southern France, caused enormous damage to vineyards near Montpellier. The inhabitants of the village of La Bastide were aroused from their sleep and took refuge on roofs. One roof collapsed, killing three people. When the floods subsided carts, furniture and animals were found embedded in thick mud.
At Grand Layes forty houses were set on lire by lightning. Twenty were completely destroyed.
