THE RAILWAY.
Mr H. J. Day, m charge of the local railway, advises that the position has not changed since last evening. The train service had to be entirely' suspended to-day, as it was absolutely impossible to get through, and until the Aveather moderates and it is possible to obtain some idea of the extent of the damage, no definite announcement regarding future running can bo made. Mr Day, hoAvever, anticipates that , it Avill no.t be very long before the service is reinstated, us his staff will not attempt permanent icpairs, but will fill up the washouts and get solid bottom sufficiently safe to run the trains over. The damages,; briefly, are these: There is a gap at King's road, tho AvashOUit at Orniond roferrsd to m another part of the report, three or four small slips- betAveen Waikohu and Puha, one big slip south of To Karaka, and Avater over the line «t the tunnel between Tp. Karaka and Puha. The Waikohu railway yard has been flooded out with storm 'water, and the condition of affairs there for tho railway employes stationed at this point is pretty miserable.
