IA Reservoir Bursts

DENVER, June 3.-The Tqbnc-Re
puJlicdn's Longmont special says AT
noon to-day the Beaver Park reservoir, in
the south st. Yrain canon burst, causing
greaS damage to the surrounding country.
A torrent, estimated at 100 feet high,
rushed down the canon carrying away
bridges, houses, barns, and everything
which obstructed its path, flooding the
adjacent country. So far as learned no
lives were lost, but the damage to the
crops and meadows along the low-lands is
very great. The reservoir was an i'm
mense affair covering many acres, and
supplied water for the Highland ditch,
which traverses a large section Of the
country adiacen. to the mountains.

The Verd1ct of the Jury.

New YORK. June 3.-The ~coroner's
jury to-day listened to the testimony in
regard to Prof Odlum's fatal jump from
Brooklyn bridge. Among the witnesses
examined were Capt Paul Boyton and
Coleridge H. Herbert, an intimate friend
of the deceased. Both declared that efforts
had been made to dissuade Odlum from
attempting the feat. but that he was de-
termined to make the jump. His object,
they said, was to make a reputation which
would enable him to obtain engagements
and give exhibitions during the summer
at seaside resorts Capt. Boyton said that
there certainly were no inducements held
u to the deceased by any parties in this
city, but some parties in Philadelphia,
who were much interested in the under
taking, might have done SO, just preyi-
GUS to the night Odlum attempted the
feat he was in constant telegraphic COM
munication with men in Philadelphia and
a party of men came on to see him jump.
On hearing of its fatal termination they
returned home Immediately, so that their
connection with the affair would not he
made public.
The jury announced by its verdict that
Odlum died from injuries caused by
jumping from the bridge of his own free
will.

Modern Magic.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 3.-An extra
ordinary case of necromancy has suddenly
come to light here. Mrs. Annie Graf, a
widow, has had George Laumar, a fortune
teller residing in the eastern section Of the
city, arrested for swindling her. A num-
Der of other witnesses have since his ar
rest appeared against him, and testified
the same as Mrs. Graf. The latter tells
n most remarkable story. She had some
$500 stolen from her by a man who had
promised to marry her. She went to Lau-
mar, who said he could bring the spirit
OF the a~bsconding lover before him, and
make him reveal his whereabouts. After
getting some hundred dollars from Mrs.
Graf he came to her house one night, and
drawing a circle in the back yard,
placed himself and Mrs. Graf in it. He
then put a lot of herbs, etc, in a kettle in
which was fire, and went through a lot Of
incantations which he read out of a large
black book, filed with mysterious charac-
tiers. In the midst of his %incantations
the magician summoned the lover in loud
tones to appear, and Mrs. Graft
says she then saw the death
like face of her intended amid
the smoke which was ascending from the
kettle. Overcome with fright she be-
came unconscious. Lauman scolded her
for interrupting the ceremony, and told
her that was the only way he could find
out where her lover was. She refused to
go through the ceremony again, and de-
manded her money back; and upon his
refusal to reform, she had him arrested.
The other witnesses told a number of
similar tales about him. Lauman seemed
much amused at their testimony and was
very unconcerned when committed to Jail
for trial.

A F1re-damp Explosion.

LONDON, June "A dispatch from
Durham states a fire in a colliery near that
place occurred in the top seam of the
Margaret pits, the Peggy pit a it is
known locally. 1t was caused by an ex-
plosion and that twenty-five men and
boys at work there were killed outright.
The explosion was followed by a rush Of
water in immense volumes into the Sutton
seam. The miners, men and boys. how
ever, were all taken out alive. Working
parties are now laboring zealously to stay
the food of waters rushing into the maui
din seam, where a great number OF
miners are imprisoned and whom "reliefs''

The Attack on carthagen.

NEW York, june 3.-The steamer
which to-day arrived from Panama brings
the following account of the attack upon
Carthagena: Late news from Carthagena
confirms the intelligence received by the
Spanish gun boat Ferdinand FL Catolico,
and the American flag ship, Tennessee.
Gaitan, on learning of the approach Of
the government troops under Brecano,
and their junction with a small force led
by Gen. Villa at Sincelejo, resolved IN
making a general attack on Carthagena,
assaulting it both by land and sea. He
paid dearly for his temerity. Securing a
number of scaling ladders, he sent a force
by sea to approach as silently as possible
the walls o fthec city, and to cover this move
ment he began a most furious attack
along his whole line of siege works, par
ticularly at la Popa. The assailants
from the sea side succeeded in placing
many of their ladders, and a number of
men succeeded in scaling the walls. Had
a sufficient number of them done 50 be-
fore making a demonstration to attract
the attention of a small number of the
besieged, their triumph whould have been
secure, but with characteristic enthusiasm,
when only about sixty men had reached
the walls, they began their usual ''Vivas, y
which brought upon them at once the
main force Of the besieged. The result
was that the attack By sea was repulsed
with frightful loss, bayonet, machete and
knife doing their deadly hand to hand
work. Every man who reached the sum-
init of the walls was killed or wounded
and many at their base who sought to
escape by swimming were drowned. The
losses of Gaitan's forces were nearly 600
killed and wounded, and of the loyalists
fourteen wounded and nine killed. After
the repulse Gaitan withdrew his forces
and proceeded to Barranquilla to await
the attack by the government forces.

Whalen, from Nevada, claiming to own
six gold mines in hat state, interested A.
NJ. Billings. of this city, in them, who
agreed to purchase them for 100000, ad-
vaneing such sums OF money as were
needed from time to time for their deyel-
opment. The contract provided hat
when the mines had once been developed,
a stock company should be formed, VIVA
len to own one-third of the stock. Bill
lings advanced $4,000, after which he
sent an expert to Nevada who pronounced
Whalen a fraud. Billings began suit to
recover the money advanced, and Whalen
began suit to recover the remaining por-
ton of the $500, 600. The circuit court
decided in favor of Billings to-day and
gave him judgment for $4,000.

''The mill has shut DOWN. Good God, shu
down %
Like cry of flood Or fire. the cry
Rams swifter than lightning through the town
'The mill has shut down! Good God, shut
down p
Men wiring their hands, and look at the sky
Women fall fainting; like dead they lie.
At the very best they earned but bread
With the mill shut down they better be dead
Last year, with patience, a lessened wage
They helplessly took; better than none;
More children worked, at tender age;
Even their mite helped the lesscned wage;
The babies were left at home, alone.
Twas enough to break heart of stone
To see how these people worked for bread.
With the mill shut down they'd better be dead I!
"The mill has shut down Good God, shut
down !"
It has run at loss this many a day.
For worse than flood or fire in the town
Will be famine, now the mill has shut down.
But to shut mill down is the only way
When they run at loss, mill-owners say.
God help the hands to whom it meant bread
With the mill shut down they'd better be dead

TrRmps.

OF late years the number of German
tramps has been steadily increasing I'M
til it has reached a figure which is alarm
ing. In some districts from ten to
fifteen of these wanderers will daily inn
plore aims at a wayside cottage or in a
lonely village, while the men are busy
in the fields, and as their wives and
daughters. partly from good nature and
partly from fear, hardly like to refuse a
crust no incOnsiderable tax is levied on
the honest and the industrious. 1t is
only those parts of the country which
offer unusual attractions to the vagabond
which are subjected to such visitation as
this; but no place is entirely free from
annoyance. According to one estimate
the number of tramPs in Germany last
year amounted to O0,000, and the ex-
pense they caused the community to was
72, 100000 marks, or about 93, 600,0
and though, from the difficulty of OBJ
tanning accurate information, It is i'm.
possible to rely on such calculation,
most of those who have made the matter
a subject of study seem to think it fairly
correct,
It would be a great mistake to look
upon all these wayfarers as idle or i'm
provident. Many of them are hone stly
in search of employment in their various
professions; indeed, almost all seem to
have begun their wanderings with the
best intentions, but by degrees they are
