Ri0rma In Colorado.

A despatch from Denver, COL, says
Last evening Cherry Creek rose five
feet. The water came down with
rush, rising a foot in ten minutes. No
great damage was done in the
city. A dispatch from Pueblo says
that there is q worse flood in the
Fountain than since 1868. The river
rose eight feet in less than an holr,
and the emigrants camped along Is
bottom lost nearly everything. Ten
miles of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad were washed away between
Pueblo and Colorado Springs, and eve y
bridge, culvert and cattle guard for a
distance of twenty -one miles was more
or less damaged. Hailstones fell to the
depth Of from two TO three feet.

STILL NO CHAIRMAN.


Tho Dead Lock in she Teachers'
Committee OF the school Board.
The Teachers Committee of the
School Board held meeting yesterday
evening for the purpose Of transaeting
regular business, and, naturally enough
the question Of Chairman was brought
up. II will be remembered that In last
May, shortly after the committees
had been appointed ., rupture arose
in the Board owing TO the fact that the
Teachers Committee could not select q
Chairman, q stormy meeting having
been held few evenings before which
resulted In no choice.
At the meeting last evening Messrs.
Conrad, Pussy, Baird, KenDey and
Palmer were present., Mr.. Heisler being
the only member absent. Mr.. Palmer
was made temporary chairman. In the
natter Of choosing chairman, three
ballots were taken, with no result. Mr..
Baird received two votes on the last
two ballots and would not vote for him
self or he could have been elected.
A number Of speeches were made and
Mr.. Kenney talked q great deal about
politics. He accused Mr.. Conrad Of in.
Producing politics 10 the Board in ap-
pointing Republicans on his committees,
and said he had nothing against Mr..
Baird as chairman but voted against
him to show his condemnation of Presi-
dent Conrad's course. The members Of
the committee were somewhat amused
to see Mr.. Ksnney, shortly after making
this speech, vote for Mr.. Conrad for
Chairman Of the committee.
Quite q number of caustic hits were
made on both sides but good humor
was maintained and the committee e.
nally adjourned to meet again this eve
ming, when there is some prospect OF q
decision being reached. II the ques-
ton is not settled then the Board will
be called upon to decide for the commit
tee and II such is the case few lively
developments may be expected.

Terrible COlIiery Dtaaster-Over
100 Lives Lost.

LONDON, July Is An explosion 90
CURED at twenty minutes past l this
morning, in the London and South
Wales Colliery Company's new black
vein pit at Risca, six miles from New
port. The shock wss violent. II is
supposed that 119 men we're in the
pit at the time, and there is scarcely
probability that any will be saved. One
body has been found at the bottom Of
the shaft. Ventilation is being re-
stored in the mine, with view to e2-
ploring for bodies.
The explosion occurred at 20 minutes
past O'Clock. At about O'Clock the
bodies of three unfortunate miners were
found near the bottom Of the shaft, but
they have not yet been brought up.
The force of the explosion was terri
fic, blowing to atoms the ventilating
fan in the upeast air blast. There is
no hope that the men below can exist.
Ventilation is being restored, with the
view OF exploring in search OF the IN
fortunate miners. The scenes about
the mine are reported as heart.rending.
There is q large throng Of people
present, composed in great part Of the
relatives and friends Of the imprisoned
miners. Among them are many women,
who are bewailing the fate of husbands
aud sons, while little children are ask
ing anxiously concerning their fathers.
Everything possible is being done to
expedite the rescue of the men, but
scarcely any one hopes to find one OF
them alive.
The pit is $50 yards deep. All the
machinery was new but the black vein
seam is an old one and is well known
in connection with previous explosions
one Of which, in 1860, killed las per-
sons.
A careful examination Of the COM
pany's books shows that 100 men de-
scended the pit for the night shift.
Sir William Harcourt, Home Secre'
tary, replying to an inquiry in the
House of Commons, to-day, said he be-
lieved that 1lS men persisted by the
explosion.
Another account of the colliery ex.
plosion at Risca gives the number o.
men in the pit at the time at l07'
Three bodies have thus far been dis
covered.
LONDON, July 16.-It is now certain
that 119 persons have persisted in the
Risca colliery but is impossible to say
when the bodies can be safely reached
