HEAVY RAINFALL.
INTERRUPTS RAILWAY SERVICES By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wanganui, September 7. Eighteen hours' continuous rain, succeeded by a heavy southerly gale, caused considerable disorganisation in the ■ railway service. Last night's express for Auckland was held up for seven hours by a slip at Groatford bank. The local train from Palmerston for Wan- ' ganm did not arrive at Wanganui last ' night owing to slips at Wangaehu and ■Fordell. The passengers spent the night in the train, and came on this morning by motor cars. The Wa-ngamii-Hawera section is also blocked by slips. No train left town this 1 morning. The gale and flood destroyed several hundred feet of the Freezing Company's jetty at Imiay. Repair work at the railway bridge at Aramoho was also damaged.
