Rain Benefits Indiana Crops.

Indianapolis, Ind., June 5.—Rain and wind storms raged in Indiana yesterday, breaking the long drouth and causing a drop of 15 degrees in the mercury. In many instances the lightning and wind did great damage, causing loss of life and destruction of property. Reports from many, different parts of the State show that the rain was heavy and well distributed and it is believed that it will result in many thousand dollars benefit to all crops. The immediate danger of water famine will be averted. It is more than probable that previous estimates of crop damage in Indiana will have to be revised at once.
