A Storm Cloud Breaks at Central City
Colorado, and Carries Death and De-
struction With 1t.
DENVER, Col, Aug. "a Central City
special says: The most,destructive flood
in the history of the country occurred yes.
terday afternoon. A heavy storm cloud
approached. accompanied by incessant
thunder and lightning, about 4 o'clock.
The citizens at once fed to such places
of security as could be found An al
most unearthly roar began to sound in
the west, and almost instantly volume
came rushing down Eureka and Nevada
streets, taking everybody by surprise.
Heavy teams standing in the street were
overturned and carried down stream.
Rocks weighing 600 pounds were rolled
along like pebbles. Animals and every
thing i'll the track of the flood were swept
away. In short time the streets were
cleared of people, everybody seeking
shelter. During the flood large masses of
debris were carried through the street at
the rate of fifteen miles an hour. The
whole length of the valley, from Nevada
vile on one side and the head of Eureka
on the other, presents tonight the
MOST DEsoLATE
scene imaginable. Roadwavs are destroy
ed in many places, cuts being five and six
feet deep and extending hundreds of
yards. The entire length for about three
miles is strewn with debris of every kind.
At several points between Central and
Blackhawk debris is piled twenty five feet
high Eureka street, for quarter of
mile, is one mass of rocks and rubbish
On Main street four feet of sand is de-
posted. The flood was caused by the
bursting of a rain cloud little way west
of the city. The natural channel of the
stream became damned turning the wa
ter into the streets.
The only loss of life known at present
is that of Joe Garry, whose body was
found in the Blackhawk. The flood
lasted but twenty minutes. The damage
is about $50, 900, which was done chiefly
to highways. A number of small houses
upon it were washed away, and many
residences and stores were flooded, and
mud and sand deposits were made on
floors and cellars to the depth of several
feet
Advices from Idaho Springs state that
the storm was the severest ever felt there
Several houses m Virginia Canon were
carried away. A 6-year-old girl was
drowned. Nearly all the railroad bridges
between the forks of the creek and Idaho
were swept away Nearly all the houses
in Burns were flooded, and the streets
were damaged to the extent of $40, 900.
1t is estimated that it will take 100 men
forty eight hours to repair the damage to
the railroad track between Idaho and
Floyd Hill. No trains are expected to
arrive in Central until late tomorrow,
and the indications point to a stormy
night.

ENGLISH GRAIN.

Harvest Progressing Favorably-Ouality
Variable-Markets Quiet, With Little
Doing Slight Advance in Prices for
Maize.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The Mark Lane Er-
press in a review of the grain trade the
past week, says the weather during the
week enabled farmers, when machinery
was available, to thresh in the fields.
There has been few samples of the new
crop at the provincial exchange which
has been variable The yield is not above
the average; the samples, however, do not
afford an index as to harvest results.
Scotch wheat crops are favorably report
ed. Trade uncertain on account of har-
vesting. In few provincial exchanges
rates advanced since the holidays ON ac-
count of the scarcity of grain. Buyers
were reserved and operating meagerly
In London the supply has been nominal
and quotations unchanged. Foreign
trade unchanged. Supply moderately
scarce and demand small, buyers reti-
cent and rates Friday generally against
them. The attempt to enhance provin-
cial values nearly checked business. Flour
in'small supply and dearer, and trade has
been generally quiet, the supplies being
absorbed by the consumptive de-
mand. Maize improved 3 to 6
per cent. Friday the basis of the specu-
lative movement which excited the bull
influence on the maize trade is the short
ness Of fodder crops. Barley nominal in
supply and firm. Oats in good request.
Foreign in large supply, but fair de-
mand maintained rates. Off coast l6
carloads of breadstuffs arrived during
the week, of which 13 have been sold

KILLING OF SPOTTED TAIL.
Recollections of the Noted Chief, and the
Probable Motive for the Tragedy-The
News In Washington.

News In Washington.
CHICAGO, Aug. s.-Major A. s. Bent, of
the U. S. army, now stationed here, in an
interesting interview gives some points
about Spotted Tail which may account
for his death at the Rosebud agency. He
was great friend to the whites, partly
because he was wise enough to know
that hostility toward them only injured
the Indians and was hopeless He was
man of iron will and enforced implicit
and unquestioning obedience to his COM
mands, 1t was his custom to step into the
street with Winchester rifle, notify the
recalcitrant OF wavering sub chief that the
eye of the great spirit was on him, AID
that unless he obeyed the commands of
his chief he would be at once transferred
to happier world. The argument was
always potent, for Spotted Tail was known
to be man of his word. The govern
ment made him chief Of police in their
employ. Major Burt knew nothing of
Crow Dog, but presumed that he may
have been chosen by the agent at the
Rosebud agency to the position which
old Spot had so long filed, and this may
have excited animesity and brought about
personal conflict.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Oficial infor-
nation of the killing of Spotted Tail by
Crow Dog at Rosebud agency Friday, the
5th inst, was received at the interior de-
partment 1t is thought at the depart
ment that Spotted Tail was killed in
some difficulty between him and Crow
Dog growing out of Spotted Tails expect
ed trip to Washington. He had been di-
rected by the Indian Office to come to
Washington with an Indian delegation
due the 18th inst, and it is thought Crow
Dog, who wished to come to Washington
himself, was jealous of Spotted Tails
prominence and influence in tribal af-
fairs.

ANOTHER WHOLEs s4LE HOUSE.
Ground Broken Yesterday on Lower
Fourth Street for Large Building for
Powers Bros Wholesale Dry Goods

Ground Broken Yesterday on Lower
Fourth Street for Large Building for
Powers Bros Wholesale Dry Goods
| House.
Prominent features in the great de-
velopment of the wholesale trade of St.
Paul within the last few years are the
concentration of the leading houses
below jackson street, and the number Of
large new buildings which have been
required for their accommodation. But
the most significant feature is in the fact
that new houses which have been estab-
lished in every line of trade have gained
all the business they could handle, while
the older houses have steadily IN
creased their business, and even vet. in
every line, the merchants themselves say
there is not only room for but need of
more establishments. The great country
tributary to st. Paul is increasing
so rapidly in population and wealth,
while the railroad system which centers
here is being extended and perfected,
that it is evident the wholesale trade of
our city not only is to increase for years
to come as it has for years past, but also
has secure foundations to rest upon, from
which it cannot be disturbed by any pos
sible rivalry.
The present year will be notable in the
annals of St. Paul for the number of fine
business blocks erected for the wholesale
trade. The GLOBE has heretofore men
toned the Third street buildings for Kel-
ly g. Co., Burbank & Co., and Beaupre
& Keogh, the Fourth street buildings for
Gordon & Ferguson, H. B. Upham and
Robinson & Cary, the Sibley street block
for Auerbach, Finch & Van Slyke, and
the Fifth and Rosabel street building for
A. o. Bailey & Co., all now in progress,
besides the several buildings which were
completed early in the season. 1t will
soon be at liberty 10 speak of others
which are to be begun as soon as
the contractors can get to them from
their present jobs and which will be
pushed to early completion. To-day it
can state that ground was broken yester-
for Charles A. Dickerman on his Fourth
street lots, between Sibley and. Wacouta
streets and adjoining Schutte's building.
Here Mr.. Dickerman will build this sea-
son and have ready for use before winter
sets in four story brick block, fifty by
one hundred feet. The building is to be
occupied by Powers Bros. as a Wholesale
dry goods house. This firm has drifted
into the wholesale trade in connection
with their extensive retail trade and has
found that there is room for them in the
trade to establish an exclusively whole
sale house. This they will do IN Novem-
Der next, and still there will be room for
more, as long as the New Northwest con-
tinues to grow in wealth and population.

Western Passenger AGENTS.

CHICAGO, Aug 9.--The passenger
agents of the Western railroads met to-
day. They considered the demand which
the Eastern roads recently made on the
Eastern trunk line for the payment of the
25 per cent. which those roads have been
deducting from the proceeds of ticket
sales for the payment of expenses.
At Castle Garden the Western roads
have demanded from January 1, that
those deductions should cease, and only
the Pennsylvania road complied with
their demands, the others ignoring them.
Now they threaten to break with the
Eastern roads unless their de-
mand is complied with. The Wabash
and Chicago s. Alton difficulty
was broached, and produced long dis
cussion and much recrimination between
the officers of the company. during
which the meeting broke up. The
Grand Trunk has sold 1000 tickets to
Boston since Saturday.

The Presidents Condition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Notwithstand-
ing the surgical operation performed on
the President yesterday his condition to-
day is by no means unfavorable.
Throughout the night he slept naturally
without the use of anOdynes. This morn
ing his temperature and respiration were
higher than during any day since two
weeks ago. This, however. the doctors
attribute to the etherization of yesterday.
DR.. Agnew told Secretary Blaine last night
that tomorrow he looked for a high
pulse and temperature; that after to-
morrow he expected marked improve
ment in his condition. That he had faith
i'll the improvement is evidenced bv the
fact that he left at 5 O'Clock this after
noon for Philadelphia. DIR. Hamilton,
who is in New Y York, will not return un-
til Thursday. Throughout the city to-day
there was
CONSIDERABLE APPREHENSION
fears that the doctors were concealing
the worst features of the case. DR.. Rev
burn says nothing was concealed from
the public. The bulletins presented
the actual case, there being no reason
to mIsrepresent the facts. At
o'clock this afternoon the President
fell into a sleep which seemed peaceful.
He made no complaints during the day,
and bears his infiiction with true heroism
DR.. Reyburn said this afternoon the
wound is now discharging through the
new incision without the use of drain
age tube. The pus seems to come up
from the wound, and is of the most
healthy character. We use lint to keep
the wound open, and indeed the condition
is now so favorable that Dr. Agnew
thinks he will go home this after
noon. AT 3 o'clock this afternoon, Drs
Reyburn and Bliss were still ON duty al
the White house, and they remained until
late tonight. They said he was as cheer.
full as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The fact that the new op-
Grafton made yesterday, allowing the pus
to be discharged without the use of 6
drainage tube, is considered by some as
GOOD EVIDENCE
there will be no further use for the knife
The unfavorable symptoms of to-day il
his pulse and temperature arc attributed
entirely to the operation of yesterday. L
may be Thursday before he fully rallies
from it; but that he will rally all physi
clans unanimously declare.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 11:45 a. m.-The
President at this hour is resting COM
fortably. He has taken nourlshment
quite freely during the forenoon and rel
lshed it. DR.. Reyburn says his pulse and
temperature are at present perceptibly
lower than when the morning bulletin
was issued. He considers the patient
progressing finely and says there is no
cause for alarm. DR.. Agnew considers
the Presidents condition very encourag-
ing, and expects to leave for Philadel-
phia during the day, if the patient con-
tinueS to improve The discharge from
the wound this morning has been entire
ly satisfactory, ,and the pus is of a perfect

which the President has taken this morn
