The Virginia Bourbons have demon
strated in a forcible manner their insin-
certify as honest debtpayers. They have
nominated for the second place on their
ticket an original readjuster who was
the author Of the first bill to readjust
the debt of the state. 1t has been the
practice of the bourbOns for several
years TO declare in favor of an honest pay
ment of the debt, and to refuse to sup
port all legislation making such pay
ment possible. Their conduct now in
putting deb;'payer at the head OF
their ticket and a readjuster at the tail
is in harmony with this record. Their
declarations are constructed to gull
Northern critics; their acts and their
tickets are constructed to catch votes.

A Water Spout Bursts at Central City, Col
CHICAGO, August "a Central City
special says the most destructive food
in the history of the country occurred
there yesterday afternoon. At ESQ a
heavy storm cloud appeared, aecompa-
MED by almost incessant thunder and
lightning. About 4 O'Clock the citizens
were startled by an almost unearthly
roar in the west, and al
most instantly huge volume
of water between four and five feet deep
came rushing down between Nevada and
Eureka streets, taking everything by
surprise. Heavy quartz teams standing
in the streets were overturned and car
ried down the stream like feathers.
Rocks weighing five OF six hundred
pounds were rolled along the streets
like pebbles. Animals and every
thing in the track of the flood
were swept away. In an incredibly short
time the streets were cleared of people,
everybody seeking shelter. During the
flood large masses of debris were carried
through the streets at the rate of about
Is miles an hour. The whole length of
the gulches, from Nevadaville on one
side and Euraka on the other, presents
tonight the most desolate scene
imaginable. The road was entirely
destI Dyed in many places, the ruts being
five and six feet deep and extending for
hundreds of yards. The entire length
for about three miles is strewn with
debris of every kind. At several points
between Central and Black Hawk the
debris is piled twenty-five feet high.
Eureka street for a quarter of q
mile is one mass of rocks
and rubbish. On Morn street
four feet of sand is deposited. The flood
was caused by the bursting of a rain
cloud west of the city. The natural
channel of the river became damned,
turning the water into the streets. The
only loss of life known at present is that
of Joe Gerry, whose body was
found in Black Hawk. The flood lasted
but twenty minutes. The damage is es-
timated at about $4,000, sustained on
the highway. A number of small
houses upon it were washed away, and
many residences and. stores flooded and
mud deposited on the floors and in cellars
to depth of several feet. Advices from
| Idaho Springs say it was the severest
rain that ever fell. Several houses in
Virginia canon were carried away, and
a six-year-old girl was drowned
Nearly all the railroads and
country bridges between the forks
of the creek and idaho are swept away,
and nearly all the houses in the business
part of town are flooded, and the streets
The damage done to Idaho will amount
to $50, 900. It is estimated it will take 8
hundred men forty-eight hours to repair
the damage to the railroad tracks be
tween idaho and Floyd Hill. No trains
are expected to depart or arrive in Cen
trail City until late tomorrow.

temperature this morning was
normal for the first time since Sunday.
The breaking of the fever was followed
by profuse perspiration, and though
the high pulse shown by the morning
bulletin is probably due to weakness
resulting therefrom, the discharge OF
pus at the morning dressing was unu-
sually copious, showing that the
wound is now perfectly and thoroughly
drained. The drainage tube was put
in again and the wound washed
out with u weak solution of car
bOlic acid and wafer. Since the
dressing the patient has taken nourish-
ment in the shape of milk and lime wa
