CHRISTCHURCH.
Wednesday. Very heavy rain fell last night, and all the rivers are very high. On the Waimakariri there is a heavy flood, which overflowed the banks on to the railway line, and about midday the traffic was completely stopped. On the South Railway line the Rakaia washed away part of the approaches to the bridge, delaying the traffic. The weather being fine all the day the rivers are now subsiding.. A man named Hugh Ferguson, who arrived from Wellington last Saturday, dropped down dead at Frank's boardinghouse this morning. Congestion of the brain is the supposed cause of death.
