Floods in Queensland.
50 MILES OF RAILWAY UNDER WATER. (Per Press Association.) Brisbane, This Day. Quite fifty out of sixty-two miles of the Cleremont railway is submerged, and the permanent way is badly damaged in many places. Three hundred cases of distress have been relieved in Townsville. The weather is now terribly hot. The schooner Lavinia was totally wrecked off Magnetic Island during the cyclone, and one man was drowned. The northern towns report fierce gales, but the cyclone seems to have concentrated its efforts on Townsville.
