reported from the Senate com mmittee on appro-
priations to-day, is amended IN great number
of particulars, the united effect OF which is to

ber of members to nine for each council, and
eighteen for the lower branches.
Frauds in the Printing and Engraving
Bureau.
1t is stated that the treasury investigating
committee have discovered proofs of scandal
Gus tampering with the books of the bureau
of ngraving and printing, and that false
reports have been made to Congress, of the
expenses of managing the bureau, for the pur-
pose of keeping the work of printing out of
the hands of the bank note companies. A
member of the committee said it would be
shown that the rates of the bank note COM
panies for printing greenbacks and legal
tender notes, have for years been largely below
the actual cost of dong the work in the bureau
of engraving, although the reports of the
bureau have been doctorea to convince the
public to the CO ntrary.

DISASTROUS STORM.
Denver City FloOded-Isridges Swep.&
Away and Lives Lost.


DENVER, COL, May 23.-A terrific rain,
upon large areas Of Douglass and Ell Pas
counties Tuesday. 1t is believed to have been
most violent along SPUR of the Rocky Noun
tans, which separates the head waters of the
Arkansas and Platte rivers. Cherry creek,
which empties into the Platte at Denver, end
which is ordinarily dry, was suddenly deluged
at one O'Clock yesterday morning, and in less
than an hour the entire western portion of the
city was flooded. Seven bridges were swept
away and large amount of property destroyed.
Owing to the efficiency and industry of the fire
department, the entire population of the dis
trict was aroused and warned in time to escape,
and it is now believed that no lives were lost in
the city, beyond that of an unknown man,
whose body was found in freight car, where
he probably had been asleep The flood in
volved several other streams on either side of
the divide, and the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
road lost a bridge near Colorado Springs, and
is unable to run any trains on this end of the
road. Three bridges were swept away on the
Kansas Pacific. A freight train on the latter,
containing eighteen cars, passed through
bridge across the Kiowa, burying with it John
A. Baker, the engineer, Frank Selden and
John Piatt fremen, whose bodies have not
been recovered Debris and drift from Cherry
creek lodged against the Colorado Central
bridge across the Platte, and forced out por-
tion of its supports. This road also sustained
considerable damage on the Cheyenne division,
but it is believed that its trains and those of
the Denver & Rio Grande will move regularly

A Manifest Absurdily,

1t is manifestly absurd to claim for mere stimu-
liant, tonic and Alternative properties. Yet this is
what is daily done by the vendors Of cheap local bit
ters colored to make them look attractive and agree
ably favored, but the alcoholic basis of which is of
the viest and most hurtful description. The tram
scendenr success of Hosetter's Stomach Btters the
leading Alternative tonic in the United Sates has in-
duced manyof these compounders Of drains in disguise
to attempt the counterfeitingof this standard med
cine, but their efforts have proved successful
on large scale, and they have themselves in many
instances notoriousy come to grief" through the
instrumentaiity of the law.
The genuine Bitters have, indeed, a spirituous
basis, but they are emphaticaly medicine, since
their botanic ingredients are signay eticaclous in
overcoming and preventing chills and fever dyspep-
sia, liver complaint, constipation, and many other
disorders. my20eod&w1w
